As of yet how many of the catastrophic predictions about global warming have actually come true?
Once again denier cult stupidity and ignorance tries to masquerade as 'science' and fails miserably.If you'd like to see some actual science, stop reading denier blogs and visit IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Read the assessment reports.

Of all the carbon emitted into the atmosphere each year, 210 billion tons are from natural sources, and only 6.3 billion tons are from man's activity. Man's burning of fossil fuel, therefore only accounts for 3 percent of total emissions of CO2.
People are never told that the most powerful greenhouse gases by orders of magnitude is water vapor and clouds. When only human emitted CO2 is considered, less than one percent of the greenhouse gas potential comes from human activity. Yet, all the global warming is supposed to be attributed to it. Water vapor plays a huge role in keeping the earth warm; 70 times more powerful than the CO2 emitted by human activity. When clouds are added, CO2 becomes even less important. However, clouds not only trap heat, low elevation clouds also reflect much of the incoming solar radiation, so the sun's heat never reaches the earth's surface which cools the earth. It is this mechanism that a growing number of scientists believe is one of the primary mechanisms warming and cooling the earth.
Once again real science prevails over the AGW religious dogma.

Only gullible retards fall for the propaganda trick of only looking at natural carbon emissions and failing to consider natural carbon sinks. In Nature, before humans came along with our industrial revolution, CO2 had maintained a homeostatic balance between carbon emissions and carbon absorbtion for millions of years, varying only between 180ppm during 'ice ages' and 270-300ppm during the interglacial periods. Atmospheric CO2 levels were stable at about 280ppm for the last 8000 years or so. Mankind's activities in the last century and a half, like burning carbon based fossil fuels, cement manufacturing, and deforestation, have raised those previously stable CO2 levels to over 400ppm, a 43% increase (so far and still rising fast). Mankind is currently emitting over 36 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
"In 2013, global CO2 emissions due to fossil fuel use (and cement production) were 36 gigatonnes (GtCO2); this is 61% higher than 1990 (the Kyoto Protocol reference year) and 2.3% higher than 2012. In 2014, global CO2 emissions are projected to increase by an additional 2.5% over the 2013 level." ( source)
Contrary to your idiotic myths, scientists have always told everybody that water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas. However, water vapor is a feedback, not a forcing. CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere and stays there for centuries. Water vapor is transient and precipitates out of the atmosphere if concentrations rise. As more CO2 warms the air, the air can hold more water vapor. The water vapor thus amplifies the warming created by the CO2. Basic science that you anti-science denier cult retards are completely ignorant of.
Git some, bitch.Well, since the OP explained "for what" very well, I guess you must be extremely retarded. And of course, your idiotic assumptions about what the world should do to deal with this climate change crisis are complete crackpot nonsense.So we should shut down entire industries, put millions out of work, quadruple utility rates, spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars... for what?
More denier cult idiocy.Look! the ice is melting, ignore it growing over there.
The ocean ate the heat, oops, no it didn't.
See this carefully manipulated and remanipulated data showing warming?

Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are losting ice mass at accelerating rates, nitwit.
Ice Sheet Loss at Both Poles Increasing, Study Finds
NASA
The oceans are warming, the ice is melting, the sea levels are rising, and air temperatures are still rising. 2014 looks likely to be the next new 'warmest year on record', even just looking at near surface air temperatures.
Your crackpot denier cult conspiracy theories about scientific malfeasance are as idiotic and ludicrous as ever.
LOLOL....usually I try not to respond to your insane twaddle, kookles, just because it is too insane to bother with. In this case I did check Gallup and they say that in developed Asia, 76% of the people think rising temperatures are a result of human activities. Latin America is at 56%, and Canada at 54%. They say that in the USA, the figure is 57%.You meathead..........You and your fringe pals are the cult........go check Gallup s0n!!!!More denier cult idiocy.Look! the ice is melting, ignore it growing over there.

Nothing you've ever posted has any effect on the scientifically affirmed reality of AGW/CC, no matter what delusions you may hold in your little chipmunk sized brain. Nobody gives a flying fuck about your deranged fraudulent anti-science bullshit.( new thread posted by the way which makes you look like a total dick ). Nobody gives a flying fuck about your ice sheet!!
As of yet how many of the catastrophic predictions about global warming have actually come true?
That would be zero...hell, even the non catastrophic stuff aint happening.
As of yet how many of the catastrophic predictions about global warming have actually come true?
so where are the catastrophes?As of yet how many of the catastrophic predictions about global warming have actually come true?
Melting Arctic Ice - proven and confirmed
Collapse in Glacial Ice - proven and confirmed
Increase in storm/drought/flood intensity - proven and confirmed
Rising ocean temperatures - still a work in progress, but close to being confirmed
Rising sea levels - still a work in progress, but confirmed as occurring, definitely
As for temperatures:
The year 2013 ties with 2003 as the fourth warmest year globally since records began in 1880. The annual global combined land and ocean surface temperature was 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F). This marks the 37th consecutive year (since 1976) that the yearly global temperature was above average. Currently, the warmest year on record is 2010, which was 0.66°C (1.19°F) above average. Including 2013, 9 of the 10 warmest years in the 134-year period of record have occurred in the 21st century. Only one year during the 20th century—1998—was warmer than 2013.

These really are not difficult issues to understand. It's purely a question of ignoring politics - ALL politics - and looking purely and simply at what major scientific organisations around the world have to say.

The publication Severe weather in North America provides a comprehensive overview of weather hazards and risks in
North America. It discusses perils, related losses, risk mitigation and insurance issues. Nowhere in the world is the rising number of annual natural catastrophes more evident than in North America. This increase is entirely attributable to weather events, as there has been a negative trend for geophysical events. Results of the data and scenarios analyzed show that, due to socio-economic factors such as ongoing urbanization and increasing values, the potential for weatherrelated losses in North America is still rising. In addition, new technologies may give rise to new risks. Natural hazard insurance will therefore remain a challenge, with climate change bringing further uncertainty.
