It’s always nice to see a leftist outfit finally fess up to a lost cause. The global warming crowd has clearly lost, and this Mother Jones article makes this clear.
The governments of the world have not implemented the Kyoto treaty of 1992 or its 1997 update. The whole thing lapsed on December 31, 2012. It’s over. Kaput. Think of it as Al Gore’s presidential campaign. Clinton never submitted it to the Senate. Neither did Obama. It was allowed to die of old age.
In the latest article, we see that the far, far radicals of the global warming agenda had a metric of failure. If carbon dioxide reached a level of 350 parts per million, the end of the world would be in sight.
It is now at 400.
This 350 metric has been promoted for years by James Hansen. One of his acolytes is “deep ecologist” Bill McKibben, who has been sounding the alarm on the supposed ecological crisis ever since the 1980’s. He wrote a book on ecology in 1989: The End of Nature. (Note: nature is still here.)
So, here we are, well beyond the McKibben Apocalypse. Better yet: it’s clearly headed much higher. The trend is clear: up, up, and away!
“All is lost! The end is near!”
When all is lost, the sensible response is to eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Anyway, maybe by 2076. After McKibben has gone to his deep ecological reward.
We are beyond the point of no return. Right? I mean, if the metric had any validity in the first place, only one conclusion is sensible: “Head for the hills! It’s cooler there.”
So, will these people just go away now? Will they at least shut up? Not a chance. McKibben has created a cottage industry.

Don’t count on it. This is the Marxist mantra. Watch your back.
Libs never admit they are wrong, never!
If your lies don’t work... LIE HARDER & LOUDER!
I'm not seeing the far left playing the same rhetorical game the right does.
The left generally ignores conservatives.

Yep, to listen to the global warming crowd, the sky is falling.
I have always felt that, even if there was global warming, that it would not be the end of the world as we know it, but that somehow we would adapt. But you can’t have such calm discussions about this with those people. They are hysterical about the cause.
In fact, I have sometimes wondered if there were benefits to global warming. Just think — during the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. Aren’t we all happy that there has been global warming since the ice age, so that the mass of North America is not covered in ice???
Correct, unless you are in the world of public relations.
Its slowly being settled by court decisions and insurance rates.
They lost when they had to change the name from global warming
Just for some perspective. The percentage of CO2 in Venus’ atmosphere (the planet most associated with planetary warming): 96%. The percentage of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere: .04% (not 4%, .04%)
Climate Scientologists. They’re always right. Because Science!
Global warming is a hoax.
The democrats and the news media tried changing the name to “climate change” but that didn’t work either! LOL
nobody buys their lies
Lost the war?
Not by a long shot.
They will ‘rest’ and be back in a decade or two or four.
These are the same types who advocated for global cooling and the ozone layer and Population Zero in the 1960s and 1970s. When reality did not cooperate, they renamed their advocacy global warming. When reality did not cooperate, they renamed their advocacy climate change and now climate disruption.
They didn’t lose. They may have called a truce — which they will use to create more falsified and misinterpretated data to support their next rounds.
They will be back. Count on it.
Again?
We’ve been hearing that the global warming scam is over for years but it never actually goes away.

>> “nobody buys their lies” <<

Except those that think they can profit from them.

The global warming crowd is exactly like the Islamofascists. They never go away, they just hunker down and regroup for another try at it...............
Statists (and we all know that is the true aim of the GW crowd) will never give up because their true master knows that path maximizes human misery.
Correct. I can’t wait to see the new iteration. Children and minorities hit hardest. Because this is global communism with a fack moustache.
Google “Savitri Devi”
CO2 levels reached 1,500 ppm in the early Carbonaceous period, the result was a global lush rain forest teeming with more life per square yard than we will ever see in our life times.
