Tell me you’re an activist first and a “scientist” second without specifically telling me
Climate scientists are desperate: we’re crying, begging and getting arrested
I’m a climate scientist and a desperate father. How can I plead any harder? What will it take? What can my colleagues and I do to stop this catastrophe unfolding now all around us with such excruciating clarity?
I can think of a few things. The first would be “practice what you preach.” Change your life to accord with your doomsday cult beliefs. In fairness, author Peter Kalmus claims he has drastically reduced his own carbon footprint. Second, make some predictions that actually come true, because almost every single one so far has been wrong, has failed, hence why you make them for 2050 and 2100.
On Wednesday, I risked arrest by locking myself to an entrance to the JP Morgan Chase building in downtown Los Angeles with colleagues and supporters. Our action in LA is part of an international campaign organized by a loosely knit group of concerned scientists called Scientist Rebellion, involving more than 1,200 scientists in 26 countries and supported by local climate groups. Our day of action follows the IPCC Working Group 3 report released Monday, which details the harrowing gap between where society is heading and where we need to go. Our movement is growing fast.
We chose JP Morgan Chase because out of all the investment banks in the world, JP Morgan Chase funds the most new fossil fuel projects. As the new IPCC report explains, emissions from current and planned fossil energy infrastructure are already more than twice the amount that would push the planet over 1.5°C of global heating, a level of heating that will bring much more intense heat, fire, storms, flooding, and drought than the present 1.2°C.
In fact, he was arrested
A growing number of scientists are willing to risk arrest in a desperate bid to get leaders to act on the climate crisis. Listen to climate scientist Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman choke up as he and others at @ScientistRebel1 block an entrance to @Chase in LA today.???? via organizers pic.twitter.com/60qPe7RFuj

How does NASA and the Jet Propulsion Lab, where Kalmus works, feel about their employee being arrested while making sure everyone knows he works there?
Earth breakdown is much worse than most people realize. The science indicates that as fossil fuels continue to heat our planet, everything we love is at risk. For me, one of the most horrific aspects of all this is the juxtaposition of present-day and near-future climate disasters with the “business as usual” occurring all around me. It’s so surreal that I often find myself reviewing the science to make sure it’s really happening, a sort of scientific nightmare arm-pinch. Yes, it’s really happening.
If everyone could see what I see coming, society would switch into climate emergency mode and end fossil fuels in just a few years.
It’s a doomsday cult. Scientists like this do not need to be employed by the government, because they are not serving the citizens, they are self serving cultists. Also, if this is so bad why aren’t all the climate change scientists going carbon neutral? Kalmus says his carbon footprint is around 2 tons per year, which is way less than the average US footprint, but still higher than those in the 3rd World. This people are advocates, and want Government to force you to comply with their cult beliefs.
Too Blind to See Teach typed: make some predictions that actually come true, because almost every single one so far has been wrong
It was predicted that as atmospheric CO2 increased so would the global mean surface temperature.
It was predicted that as the troposphere warmed, the stratosphere would cool.
It was predicted that the pH of the oceans would decrease.
It was predicted that polar ice and the great ice sheets would lose ice.
It was predicted that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Apparently the IPCC’s crack team of researchers were unable find evidence of major ice -melts early last century when CO2 was much lower. But I guess if one never looks one won’t find… https://realclimatescience.com/2016/01/disappearing-glaciers/
Models predicted extreme weather would increase. It hasn’t
Models predicted Arctic summer ice would disappear. It hasn’t
Models predicted sea level rise would accelerate. It hasn’t
Models predicted a tropical troposphere hotspot. It doesn’t exist
Models never predicted the “hiatus”. It happened
“It was predicted that polar ice and the great ice sheets would lose ice”. Wow-ice melting during an interglacial when it’s supposed to melt? Amazing. Numerous studies show there’s more ice now than earlier in the Holocene when CO2 levels were much lower.
This game is fun….
Troll Elwood. Still grooming those children?
On this site, you mainly just repeat your Masters’ climate lies.
I typically know what you will lie about if I’m stuck watching CNN someplace. Same lies.
Why not start doing your own research instead of just promoting your Masters’ propaganda?
You know it’s all a PR stunt; climate “scientists” don’t wear white lab coats. They likely don’t even work in a lab. They primarily are running computer models or doing data analysis … neither of which involve lab coats.
A real scientist would be looking at the science realm for solutions and invent a cleaner energy source, a process to neutralize carbon harms, or maybe even a “greener” way to produce anything that humanity needs for survival (like food, fuel, transportation, metals, plastics, etc). Instead, all we get is activism and appeals for government to “DO SOMETHING”.
