Climate change predictions from 20 years ago, How accurate were they?

[Weatherman2020]

Seems they were pretty much spot on

What the models correctly told us 20 years ago is that if we continued to add fossil fuels at an increasing rate to the atmosphere, we'd see an increasing range of consequences, including a decline in Arctic sea ice, a rise in sea levels and shifts in precipitation patterns,"

Climate change predictions 2020: Carbon dioxide, weather disasters

serious question: let’s assume that man made global warming has us in the dire predicament everyone is talking about. If that is the case and it’s an existential threat, then aren’t democrats to blame just as much as republicans for not doing anything about it? I mean I would think saving the world should be of utmost priority.

They buy $15M mansions at sea level instead.

That stuff is well documented , but not only that, they want healthcare for everyone, reparations, free college, free this free that, etc.. If the world is going to end the responsible thing would be focusing all energy on saving it and putting the other stuff to the side.

Haha....what?!

No, as anyone can see with even the most cursory examination of what they have done and tried to do. Can we blame them a little? Sure. As much as Republicans? Nope.

Which is an idiotic talking point, considering the timespan involved.

I just posted the irrefutable evidence that you're wrong, moron.

You have no idea what you posted and couldn't explain it if your life depended on it.

I think this is your passive-aggressive way of getting him to explain it to you so that you can understand it.

What have they done to try to change the behavior of largest emitter of CO2 on the planet? It seems to me the democrats have put this on the back burner. When the democrats had control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, what did the choose to focus on? Obamacare

ROFL! Don't assume that because you don't understand it, that means nobody does. Global Warming skeptics are far more intelligent than cult members.

My predictions sure have come true

Your predictions are worthless. You are an uneducated slob with no education or experience in any of these fields. The fact that you gullible denier fools think you have outsmarted the global scientific community is a joke.

What education or experience do you have in any of those fields?

Yes, the time span.
Earth has but 11 years left!!!!!

Obviously, world socialism is the only thing that can save us!

... Except Newton, purely out of ignorance ...

Calling Issac Newton ignorant? ... that's classy ... whose shirts do you wear? ...

I took a class, which is more than just about everybody else here ...

Carbon Dioxide

Since the early 1990s, the carbon dioxide level in the Earth's atmosphere has jumped from about 358 parts per million to nearly 412 ppm, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That’s a 15% rise in 27 years.

Got any actual empirical evidence that the increase in CO2 has had any measurable effect on the temperature?

 

[ReinyDays]

Yes ... posted in a different thread ...

 

[SSDD]

I said actual empirical evidence....not belief in a terribly flawed mathematical model based on quaint 19th century hobby level science... got any of that kind of evidence?

Actually, they were miles off. The frequency and severity of the storms we have now are much less than they were 50 years ago. What is also funny is you still don't understand what a real prediction is. The vague "coulds "mights" and "suggests" that they all use, are the same language that the palm readers use. So no, in actual fact, even their incredibly vague predictions were laughably off.

I think you're getting empirical mixed up with imperial ... or something ... and Issac Newton is ignorant, so we've heard ...
Go to the other thread and tell us what evidence would be acceptable to you ...

I’ll take that as a no...that you can’t provide any empirical evidence...not surprised

The climate predictions were more or less on point. As a matter of fact they underestimated the speed at which anthropogenic climate change would take place.

They overstated the warming by >300%... 6-8 deg C was the prediction and we have barely seen 0.8 deg C
