As Anthony Watts notes
How many times have the goalposts been moved where that pivotal moment has been reached, and we are just a couple of years away from the irreversible or runaway scenario. I’ve lost count.
Here’s what Anthony is referring to
UN chief: ‘Pivotal moment’ for fighting global warming
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the world has reached “a pivotal moment†in global warming and risks runaway climate change if leaders don’t act in the next two years.
He is telling world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that they aren’t doing enough to combat what he calls “a direct existential threat†that is moving faster than people are working to combat it.
He notes that thick, permanent sea ice north of Greenland began to break up this year for the first time.
He’s calling for making sure the international Paris climate change agreement is implemented. U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he’s withdrawing his country from the pact.
Guterres is planning a climate summit next year.
So, let’s see, the person in charge of the body which just witnessed hundreds, if not thousands, of long fossil fueled trips from all around the world, and you can bet most didn’t fly commercial, is planning a summit which will see the same next year?
There’s always some sort of “doom is coming!!!!!” prognostication from the membership of the Cult of Climastrology. They’ve now added that we’re sorta there but we still have time to act. And we’ll hear the same schtick next year, and the year after, and the year after that, all the way up to the Earth entering its next cooling period. We’ve been hearing these “tipping point” scares for 25+ years, and they are simply hot air.
I remember being in grade school in the seventies and us being told that we would have an ice age by the year 2000 and will be so cold we would never be able to go outside
this is all BS this is all about taking money from other people so they can spend it as they see fit
Another “tipping point� When speaking about Greenland, he apparently didn’t see this. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/09/24/greenland-ice-sheet-apparently-gains-mass-for-the-2nd-year-in-a-row/
1990’s Al Gore called, he wants his schtick back.
The article noted:
Cool! Two years from now, Donald Trump will still be President, so at least Americans won’t suffer from the warmists’ cockamamie plans. Then, since it’ll be too late to do anything after that, there’ll be no reason to vote for Democrats.
Just how many tipping points have we passed now?
