Yes, this again. Always a new 10 year prognostication from the Cult of Climastrology because the previous ones failed. Or we get 12 years left, 11 years left, just super duper doom
The world has less than 10 years to avert climate change catastrophe, report finds
Carbon dioxide emissions increased by almost 5% last year, meaning that the world now has a two-in-three chance of reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming over pre-industrial levels within the decade, according to a new study published in the online journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, carbon emissions dipped 11% in 2020, potentially buying the world time to transition to clean sources of energy. But in 2021, as economic activity rebounded, the emissions that cause climate change increased 4.8% from 2020.
“These 2021 emissions consumed 8.7% of the remaining carbon budget for limiting anthropogenic warming to 1.5 °C, which if current trajectories continue, might be used up in 9.5 years at 67% likelihood,” the report stated.
The carbon budget means the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted before reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming over pre-industrial temperatures. The goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius has been set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has analyzed thousands of studies and found that warming beyond that threshold could set devastating events in motion, such as massive glacier melting that would flood cities and trigger even more warming since ice reflects solar radiation that would instead be absorbed by land and water.
To avoid that outcome, the IPCC has estimated that global greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. If current trends continue, the Nature study authors calculate that 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming will likely be reached in or before 2031.
Blah blah blah. Let’s start with the carbon footprints of the elites, the politicians, and the scientists espousing this doom. See if they’re good with it.
Well shit. I wished they would make up their minds! First its 11 then its 9 then its 28 then its 14, then its 12, then its by the year 2100.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the Russians and Chinese that are paying for this hysteria can’t count very well.
We humans will not reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, 50% or to net zero, so the Earth will continue to warm. Buckle up citizens. Fortunately, we’ll all be dead, but grandchildren and great-grandchildren will question why we didn’t do it for them.
Oh well. Keep on spewin’.
Oh, well-you could offer up evidence on why should “buckle up”. Keep on evading!
You are right DOWD. The world will not end fossil fuels on the watch of the ultra lunatic AGW NAZI’S.
But the USA and the west will end fossil fuels while the rest of the world laughs at the moronic idiots who let men pretend they are women and their once-powerful military now uses paddle boats and paddle tanks as they pretend they are the flintstones.
…again? We had ten years 20 years ago.
Once again: If your predictions don’t pan out and you don’t adjust your theory, it isn’t science – it’s religion.
A century from now, people will look on the “climate change” hoax the same way we view the Piltdown Man business. Assuming we survive the Left.
[…] I’ll start thinking climate change is a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s … John “Lurch” Kerry, I’m looking at you and your private jet. […]
