Limiting global warming to 2 degrees 'inadequate', scientists say

Holding global warming to a 2-degree Celsius temperature rise will fail to prevent many of climate change's worst impacts, a group of $cientists and other expert$ warned Friday.

With a 2-degree temperature hike, small islands in the Pacific may become uninhabitable, weather-related disasters will become more frequent, workers in many parts of the world will face sweltering conditions and large numbers of people will be displaced, particularly in coastal cities, the expert$ warned.

The 2-degree goal is "inadequate, posing serious threats for fundamental human rights, labor and migration and displacement" the expert$ said in a series of reports commissioned by the Climate Vulnerable Forum, a group of 20 countries chaired by the Philippines.

Yeah, like in the billions of years of the earth’s history, the climate never varied by two degree or more. (snicker)

I think we should tie the limit of global warming to the minimum wage.

By “worst impacts” do they mean things like a British wine industry, farming in Greenland, and other things we had in the Medieval Climate Optimum before the Little Ice Age?

TIME Magazine, June 24, 1974:

“...the weather aberrations may be the harbinger of another ice age.”

When are these loons going to be hauled off to a padded cell?

That’s what they want to the sane “deniers”!

City of Baltimore may have some vehicles better suited to the task available soon...

Along with drivers...

This silly theory is based on at least three "facts" not in evidence:
1. The earth is actually warming,
2. The warming is primary caused by human activity,
3. Man has the ability to reverse this warming.

[Raycpa]

So how about 1.865%?

[Vaquero]

Yea. Scientists

Cherry picked and Marxist in their beliefs

[driftless2]

Well obviously, after the four hundred year warm period when the earth’s temp warmed by about five degrees, all life was destroyed, and we don’t exist. (snicker)

[Vaquero]

The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.

But the draconian measures advocated by, for example, Governor Moonbeam, will have a whopping .02 degree impact on temperatire. For that we will ruin our economy. What idiocy.

[Nifster]

And people who believe in God are called ‘unscientific’ and superstitious’....Lordy if these AGW zealots aren’t practicing a religion I don’t know what else to call it

[PigRigger]

How do these people say this this with a straight face?????

[theBuckwheat]

I am waiting for some climate scientist to publish a paper on what the optimum climate is for our biosphere. The first question that would naturally flow would be where is our current trend in relation to this finding.

That nobody seems interested in this vital comparison indicates that the climate is being studied for other purposes. Since all the urgent demands that flow from today’s climate science all converge on policy solutions that involve statism, bigger government, higher taxes, less personal liberty, the bigger picture tells me all that I need to know about “climate science”. It is socialism and Gaia worship by other means.

Wow, it was 5 degrees hotter just yesterday we are all dead!
