Climate change explained.

Hard hitting facts. Think about what he said.

Been saying basically the same thing for 20 years...

College crowd of know it alls bring that out in ya.

Good point about long term loans though.

Last summer, I put ice cubes on the lawn to cool my part of the earth.

We expect a single degree warming over the next 100 years ... sea level rise of less than two feet ... smaller than a typical tidal zone ... why do you think a mere 30-year loan is problematic for the bank? ... if you build on beach sand, the house won't last 100 years anyway ...

24 - Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 - And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 - And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 - And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
--- Matthew Chap 7 [emphasis mine]

So why all the Chicken Little from the left then?

According to the left I think the world ends at 2030.

Because it is a fearful public that will trust their government ... the Mockingjay movies didn't explain that as well as George Orwell did in 1984 ... same reason the Right invented the immigration problem ... to create fear where there is nothing to fear ...

Conservation saves money and the environment ... only The Rich suffer ... breaks my heart ...

According to which projection?

According to which projection?

RCP 4.5 ... though reaching a radiative forcing value of 4.5 W/m^2 may well be an exaggeration ... the current measured value is 1.8 (±0.5) W/m^2 ... I don't think we burn fossil fuels fast enough to reach such high concentration values ...

... yet ...

The Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario projects a 2°C warming by 2100, relative to today's climate. It's a moderate scenario that assumes greenhouse gas emissions peak around 2040 and then decline.

Or their projections are wrong because they are based upon a faulty calibration which assumes that all warming is from CO2 and no natural warming.

That all depends on China

I disagree. I don't believe the rising temperatures of the last 100 years is due to an incremental 120 ppm of CO2. So I don't believe their projections based solely upon CO2. I can accept that 0.22 to 0.5C is from CO2, but that's it. I don't believe their correlation is correct because they are are attributing all warming to CO2 which is idiotic.

I'm using the 2000 epoch used in the IPCC report ... along the consensus plot of their model runs we've reached the first degree Celsius here in 2025 ... and following that projection we get our second degree warming by Year 2100 ...

I almost posted that too ... except I would have admitted it came from Wikipedia ... but I didn't want the public embarrassment ... so I used my own words instead ...

Looks like another degree by Year 2650 ... [giggle] ... math is hard ...

This shows 2C in a 100 years too. Time for new glasses. But on a side note these are ridiculous projections.

Objective is to freak out the uneducated.

If we actually had an accurate dataset going back 100 years, that could be right

The geologic record is filthy with examples of warming and cooling trends that were not caused by CO2.

Their world will end by then. They will be confined to the shadows, whispering and whimpering "How dare you?" in their dark echo chambers.
