New Analysis Brings Dire Forecast Of 6.3-Degree Temperature Increase
By Juliet Eilperin Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, September 25, 2009
Climate researchers now predict the planet will warm by 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century even if the world's leaders fulfill their most ambitious climate pledges, a much faster and broader scale of change than forecast just two years ago, according to a report released Thursday by the United Nations Environment Program.
The new overview of global warming research, aimed at marshaling political support for a new international climate pact by the end of the year, highlights the extent to which recent scientific assessments have outstripped the predictions issued by the Nobel Prize-winning U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007.
Robert Corell, who chairs the Climate Action Initiative and reviewed the UNEP report's scientific findings, said the significant global temperature rise is likely to occur even if industrialized and developed countries enact every climate policy they have proposed at this point. The increase is nearly double what scientists and world policymakers have identified as the upper limit of warming the world can afford in order to avert catastrophic climate change.

Nuts...........
Any mention of a 6.3-degree DECREASE?
More and more evidence is building that we are headed for a cooling trend that could be enough to decimate crops.
Anyone prepared for massive food shortages?
They’ll stop at nothing.
All you need to know.
Not that I’ll be around by then but I’ll take the 6.3 degree increase. As I’ve said before, what do I think about global warming? I LOVE it! Bring it on! I’m tired of freezing up here in New England. The warmer the better!
Dang!
Buy land to grow cotton in Alaska and Northern Canada!
So what’s the temperature going to be here next week?
Great News!
I am freezing and its only September.
Come on Global Warming!
(and I love how these cap and trade charalatans have it down to the decimal.)
My tomatoes could have used that 6.3 degrees this year.
They are desperate to complete the con job before they lose the pigeons.
Brought to you by the same people that couldn't predict the cooling trend TAKING PLACE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FRICKIN' FACES!!
We’re going to have to see some footnotes on this one. What on earth has changed when Brack says he’s done more in the first 9 months of his reign to cut greenhouse gasses in America than all prior recorded history? Is China a problem?
Show me the data. I’ll Djin up my own model.

In other words, IT IS NOT SCIENCE.
Fantasy, maybe. But NOT science.
And compound that temperature decrease with all the man-made efforts to drive temperatures down, and . . . .

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
They can’t tell me with more than 75% accuracy if it will rain tomorrow but somehow they want me to believe they can predict the temperature down to a 10th of a deg?
Washington Post — YOU LIE!
90 degrees 200 degrees! 9000 degrees!
You must submit! Or we will fling even more outrageous numbers at you!
with a 5.9 from the Bulgarian judge...
I want to go camping in three weeks in Northern Michigan.
Can they predict whether or not we will have rain?
If so, will it be .73 cm or rain or closer to .86 cm?
Will the temperature only go down if we pass health care? Someone tell me, please I gotta know, I totally freaking out, it’s getting hot in here ...
If their models had predicted the flattening and cooling trend over the last ten years, I would give them a little more respect in their rantings.
Their models are crap.
It would have to be from something other than increased CO2 levels since it would be impossible to get enough CO2 into the atmosphere, especially from a human source, to result in that kind of temperature increase.
I predict temperatures in the US will fall by an average of 38 degrees over the next 4 months, followed by about a 42 degree rise over the next 6 mos after that.
So the chicken littles who believe this will fall over themselves to sequester as much carbon dioxide out of the air.
The result being less greenery on the globe.
So they admit that any effort is wasted? Cool!
Wasn’t it just yesterday that the New York Times, of all things, ran an article about the earth actually cooling at the moment?
In one scene he approaches a bank teller to make a withdrawal. She asks for the amount. He says "$800". She replies, "Oh, I'm sorry, Sir. Our computer indicates you only have $650 in your account. Our computer must be malfunctioning. Here's your $800. Have a nice day."
These climate researchers just lie with impunity, confident that they will get away with anything. Because we have to believe them -- afterall, they have "Ph.D" after their name. Well, I think we're catching on.
Put they liberals in a ship and send them through that new North West Passage. After they die stuck in the ice, maybe they will get it.
6.3 is a nice number if one is fudging data. It has the ring of accuracy. It’s complete hokum, but it sounds “scientific”. I mean if they said 5 degrees, that’s no good. Round number. A nice fraction makes it so much more elegant. Personally, I would have gone to two decimal places and put the value in Kelvin to make it look really nice.
How does “The Earth will warm by 6.27° Kelvin by the end of the century” sound? Marketing is everything!
“even if the world’s leaders fulfill”
That is even if they tax and regulate us back to the stone age.
Might a well scrape it all now then.
They are getting desperate. If the sunspot cycle has put us into a repeat of the Maunder Minimum, and we have a colder-than-normal winter, then their public support vanishes.
I think we will have a colder-than-average winter this year.
Better than 10% of the economy has shut off: Factories are closed, people cannot afford gasoline, the usual poor economy blues.
I saw a clip from that movie where he tells a young lady that the world will end if she does not have sex with him in the next hour. She responds by wondering if they can find a hotel room in time. That very much reminds me of what is going on here - get it done before someone catches on.
I was just going to say the same thing. We will be begging for some global warming when the ice age hits.
That's all you need to know about this "study." It's pure political propaganda designed to give cover to those pushing 0's "cap-and-trade" legislation.
Oh, and it appeared in the Washington Post. I'm so surprised.
It was discovered that earlier estimates had erroneously relied upon the “Boogem-Oogem”/chicken bone model when the correct incantation should have been three “Oogem-Boogems” with a rat’s tail. A common mistake for U.N. climatolagists.
HA HA! Not!
These “climate change” loonies just don’t know when to roll over and die. Their hoax and scam is finished. Americans have figured it out. They need to go find some other con to perpetrate on the American people.
Junk Science Ping.
In a backwards way, maybe he has... By advocating and implementing foolish, Marx-inspired economic policies that have deepened the recession and have thrown a wet blanket over the future hopes and dreams of Americans, he has indeed reduced energy consumption (manufacturers laying off workers instead of producing and shipping goods). Look for more of that to come. It's the "back to the Middle Ages" strategy in its earliest incarnation...
I remember the days when research was aimed at finding the truth.
My computer model predicts a 325.84975 degree F increase by August 14, 2239.
6.3 I’m OK with. However, once you start talking about 6.31 or 6.32 well then it’s time to cash in your chips. /s/
The World will end tomorrow. Children and old people
hit the hardest.!!
I suppose we could prevent that from happening with a giant wealth transfer scam, but only if it happens by the end of the week.
