“Once upon a time” they said “we’re afraid”
‘We Are Afraid’: Scientists Issue New Warning As World Enters ‘Uncharted Climate Territory’
A distinguished international team of scientists on Tuesday issued the starkest warning yet that human activity is pushing Earth into a climate crisis that could threaten the lives of up to 6 billion people this century, stating candidly: “We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered.”
Writing in the journal Biosciences, the coalition of 12 researchers, spanning North America, Europe and Asia, state in unusually stark language: “As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crises we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023.”
Record climate anomalies seen around the world in 2023 have astonished the scientific community, raising concerns that further extreme weather, as well as climate tipping points, could arrive sooner than expected. The authors say that the temperature records, which smashed all previous observations, along with record low levels of sea ice, are signs that human activity is “pushing our planetary systems into dangerous instability.”
Can they compare it to previous Holocene warm periods? That’s what’s required for it to be science, comparisons. Otherwise, how do we know this is different?
Drawing on the cumulative body of Earth systems research, from disciplines spanning atmospheric physics, oceanography, biology, paleoclimatology and human geography, Tuesday’s Biosciences report shows that the world is now undergoing changes at a speed never before seen in human existence. Juxtaposed against the “minimal progress” among governments to slow climate change, the authors write, “It is the moral duty of us scientists and our institutions to clearly alert humanity of any potential existential threat and to show leadership in taking action.”
First off, why is it always government that must force people to comply and live a certain way? Why can’t Warmists practice what they preach? What if the huge number of Warmists in the world all went Net Zero in their own lives? We’d see if it made any difference.
Second, these climate cult scientists remind me of lots of pop stars, always having to get more and more crazy to get attention, like, say, Brittney Spears in her crazy years, and Miley Cyrus in hers. At what point does it end, because people are no longer paying attention? They just had enough?
