It’s nice to hear from a climate scientist like St. Greta, eh? Oh, right, she mostly blew off school, and has zero degrees. I thought her 15 minutes was up, that the Credentialed Media had used her up and spit her out, but, I guess she’s still a Useful Idiot
Greta Thunberg: Dire U.N. climate report confirms ‘we are in an emergency
The Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg said she wasn’t surprised by a blistering report released Monday by the United Nations, which concluded that the Earth is warming at a rate faster than previously thought and that the window to avoid a climate catastrophe is rapidly closing.
The report, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, warned that the climate crisis is a “code red for humanity.â€
“The new IPCC report contains no real surprises,â€Â Thunberg tweeted. “It confirms what we already know from thousands [of] previous studies and reports — that we are in an emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) summary of the current best available science.
“It doesn’t tell us what to do,†she added. “It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the scientific evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the crisis like a crisis.â€
What’s this “we” stuff? Most climate cultists refuse to do much more than change a few lightbulbs. It’s not science, it’s activism. What is it telling “us” to do?
What The U.S. Can Do About The Dire Climate Change Report
….
Climate scientist Allison Crimmins heads the National Climate Assessment, a government report that evaluates how the U.S. is doing on issues related to climate change. She spoke with NPR’s Noel King about her takeaways from today’s report. (snip)
“It’s not a policy statement but just a scientific statement, that if we want to limit global warming and we want to limit those sorts of impacts that are affecting Americans right now, we need strong rapid, sustained reductions in carbon dioxide and in methane and in other greenhouse gasses,” she says. (snip)
Crimmins says the report confirms that it’s going to require “significant, sustained action” to cut down on emissions.
She envisions that action as a combination of standards, investments and justice.
“I think we can hit these sort of emission targets and transform our energy system, transform the way we use energy and the way we get around, our transportation, the way we run our homes,” she says. “And I think we can do that while also making a safer, healthier, more just future.”
In other words, the government is going to force people to change their lives. They’re going to act as dictators. There will be a hell of a lot of surprised climate cultists, who expected the Bad Things to apply to Other People, not themselves.
Brave “freedom loving” masters statesapplaided by Teach like Florida and Texas now running out of hospital rooms for covid patients
TX had one of the highest rstes of vaccination but 98% of their covid patients are unvaccinated
Teach is concerned the government will change his life. We hate to tell him but the government already changes his life – it’s to be expected in a civilized society.
China is the current worst offender in CO2 emissions – which deniers consider either neutral or even beneficial! So besides the US transitioning to non-CO2 emitting sources, the US and other nations need to “lean on” China to do the same. China is committed to selling their “stuff” around the world which gives other nations leverage.
It seems the climate realists are starting to win the arguments what with the floods and wildfires all around the world.
Jeff,
You and the rest of the three stogies just can’t understand that we realize that the government is in our lives and don’t desire any more intrusion and would really like a roll back, that is the reason we like Trump, he tried. As to China, they just initiated germ warfare and you want to punish them for CO2 emissions, get real.
Doogie Hoser,
If you have proof that China intentionally loosed SARS-CoV-2 on the world by all means share.
Global warming is a bigger long term threat than Covid, but that doesn’t preclude that the next pandemic could be even worse.
We CAN do two things at once. We can fight a pandemic and reduce our CO2 emissions. We have no choice.
So children wearing masks in school to slow the spread of Covid is finally that bridge too far. The poor, abuse nuCons are mad as hell are aren’t gonna take it anymore! And they’ll send kids to the hospital to show how serious they are!! Get real.
“If you have proof that China intentionally loosed SARS-CoV-2 on the world by all means share.”
So now you’re lawyer for Red Communist China? WE DON’T NEED PROOF. We are not in court. All we need is a preponderance of the EVIDENCE (just like the election steal) to show prima face they are culpable.
Are you implying you are siding with the communists against America after they unleashed the Wuhan-demofascist flu on the world? Quelle surprise.
Why do you always take the communists side?
To Rimjob, dipshit that he is, that would be the “propensity” of the evidence.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Kye don’t need no stinkin’ proof! Trump said it, Kye believes it, that settles it!
There is precious little evidence to support either the Wuhan lab accusation or that trump won the election. (In your defense, we did see the other day that a CO election official, Tina Peters, is under investigation for election security violations)
Perhaps shadows, rumors and belief is sufficient in the nuCon world, but not the world of reason.
There are over 1000 species of bats and they are chock-a-block with viruses and there are billions of bats on every continent save Antarctica. Bats have increasing contacts with humans as we extend our habitat. The animals that humans rely on for food and labor, e.g., camels, horses, cattle, pigs, fowl, and the weird animals eaten in China, can also become infected and spread the viruses to humans.
The World Health Organization has just identified a case of Marburg Virus (88% fatal) in West Africa (Guinea) and is urgently working on containment protocols.
Dipshit, if you have proof of that by all means share it.
For Bungholio, Teach’s pet, dipshits that they both are, only the preponderance of the evidence is needed to take global warming seriously. After all it’s a scientific theory.
So Rimjob, don’t you mean the “propensity” of the evidence.
Your words.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Good catch, J-none of those things have happened before…
The UK is going the booster shot route which takes away 50 million doses for other countries.
This will NEVER end until the world is vaccinated.
What is mind boggling to me and to those who have not been vaccinated is that the representative governments around the world who PRETEND to be Democracies are actually dictators. They just pretend to be democracies.
Before the United States was created every and I do mean EVERY government around the world was a dictatorship. I know people will point to Rome and Greece but uh…no. The senate granted Caesar dictatorial rights when he returned from battle.
Millions of people around the world are rising up against their government. KUDOS TO YOU CHINA….Have you got that next PLAGUE READY FOR WHEN THIS ONE IS TAMED????
Bird flu, SARS, MERS and COVID-19 all in 11 years coming from China. Whats next China?
I know lets have the AGW NAZI’s take away our ability to create things. HELL since you make 85 percent of everything in the world anyway, why not turn everything over to the BENEVOLENT CHINESE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT so that we are all well taken care of.
NO MORE hard work for the snowflakes that think working hard is unfair.
I am really salty today as I look at the world while so many leftists cant see past MSNBC, CNN and whatever rag they follow that spends nights and days bashing the right and blaming the worlds ills on a few million people.
The world is ending folks. I kid you not. Take a cruise around the world…digitally….and you will see what I mean. 88 percent of the world is unvacinated and yet the left continues to blame FLORIDA and TEXAS for the VIRUS?
BULL FUKING SHIT….
The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago. The neanderthals were obviously driving SUVs with huge engines back then.
Wind and solar will NEVER replace fossil fuels. They won’t sustain all the heavy industry in this country and the rest of the world. But our good friends the Chinese aren’t worried about AGW, since they’re doing nothing in the way of reducing “greenhouse gas” emissions.
As usual, there’s almost no mention of nuclear power, which is infinitely more reliable than wind and solar.
Over the last 50 years or so, the internal combustion engine has gotten more efficient and less polluting, so blame can’t be placed there.
What happened to those super storms we were supposed to be hammered with?
Reich mentioned “clean air and water” in his anemic diatribe. Where, exactly, is there no clean water? The Safe Drinking Water Act, and its amendments have steadily been improving water quality across the United States, and the Clean Water Act is doing the same for waterways. Speaking from his anal cavity as usual.
Our Neanderthal cousins were gone by the end of the last glacial period as we entered the Holocene (current interglacial). As you know, the Earth is in an ice age now (for about the last million years) with cyclic warm periods interrupted by glacial periods. Scientists have attributed the cyclic changes to orbital changes, not Neanderthals driving SUVs (although if they had had SUVs maybe they’d have survived).
The transition from fossil fuels will continue regardless, with the objective of reducing reliance on CO2 emitting sources. Yes, nuclear power is on the table too.
Reasonable nations will need to pressure the scofflaws.

For Bungholio, Teach’s pet, dipshits that they both are, only the preponderance of the evidence is needed to take global warming seriously. After all it’s a scientific theory.”
Except your global warming theory does not enjoy the preponderance of available evidence which is why not one of your predictions has ever panned out. It’s not a theory, it’s a cult. It’s not “science”. It’s science fiction.
Why do you always side against America?
You don’t accept the evidence that CO2 is causing global warming? That’s what the theory predicts.
It’s proven that CO2 absorbs electromagnetic waves in the infrared (heat) range. You could consider that a simple scientific law.
It’s proven that atmospheric CO2 is increasing – it’s over 420 ppm now after being steady around 280 ppm for as long as humans have inhabited Earth.
It’s proven that the Earth is warming – over 1.1C in the past 120 years. Although Teach refers to that as miniscule, on a geologic scale it’s a greater range than seen in the Holocene.
The theory part is that CO2 is the cause of the warming. Do you have a credible alternative theory?
The theory predicts that increasing CO2 will lead to increased global warming. Do you dispute that?
It is not a theory, a hypothesis. Over 20 years nothing of substance has been offered to show more than a 3% effect on climate. The only people who would suffer from CO2 restrictions are Europe and the US, the major offenders are China and India and they are immune from criticism and restriction. The one and only solution proposed by climate activists is global communism, no real effort is being made at CO2 capture. Thus the whole thing is a hoax.
Oh, you are not required to have an alternative theory for warming or cooling or anything else as we really have very little knowledge of the way our earth works. The fact that a trace gas has increased is of absolutely no concern and measurements are not reliable for the past.
Yep.
