I’ll take those odds!..................

[rktman]

FIVE PERCENT!!!!! Oh noes. I’m going solar STAT! to help save muvver erf. Oh. This coming century’s end? Pffftttt! Not sure, but probably 100% I won’t be here to see that.

[GOPJ]

Didn’t Al Gore make that ‘end of the world’ call for 2015? Or was that 2000?

The world is ending... The world is ending... Give elites gobs of money and they’ll stop it... The world is ending...

How many times do they expect us to fall for this BS?

[TexasFreeper2009]

so... 95% chance you dont know squat? sounds a little low to me !

LOL

Last winter there was a day when our 6 O'Clock local news reported that that night,across the entire region,was gonna be clear and seasonally cold.Woke up at about 7AM to find 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground.

Yet there are those who claim the ability to predict weather 85 years out.

These categories describe two low-probability but statistically significant scenarios that could play out by the century’s end

So they are not citing any actual proof that there really is any global warming, they are just saying if the (low probability) of global warming happens, and then it could be really bad.

> by Century’s End <

It must really be fun to make such predictions. Because the timeline is so far out, no way will you be proved wrong. Yet everyone will take you seriously.

I think I’ll take a try at this. My prediction: Because of differences in the food supply, by century’s end most adults will either be over twenty feet tall, or less than one foot tall.

Now where do I go to get my million-dollar research grant? I’ll need the money to produce some scary-looking graphs.

I get what you are trying to do and I agree and applaud you for it, but I just wanted to point out that I think a lot of people do not get it when you post just the image of Goebbels. A lot of people aren't aware of what he looked like, and so to them it just looks like some guy from a long time ago.

I think you should add something like "Nazi Minister of Propaganad Joseph Goebbels" or something.

This is a nonsense projection with apparently no hard science behind it. One could also just as easily say that there is a 5% chance a comet will crash into earth and wipe out all of humanity.

I do know there is a 100% chance each and every one of us will eventually die of something.

The climate and getting on a plane have a massive distance between how many variables are involved in predicting anything about them. They are so dissimilar that making one analogous to the other is total intellectual dishonesty.

The more variables there are in any prediction, the more likely that that prediction can turn out wrong.

A 5% chance regarding the climate is more like a 0.005% chance of a passenger plan accident. We do get on planes because that’s how low the chances of an accident are.

Their 5% chance of a climate change calamity by end of the century is best understood in the plain simple terms - it’s a 95% chance there will not be that calamity. And yes, climate predictions with that margin of error do not elicit a policy change.

>>and over 5 degrees “existential” — threat to humanity.

Worst case scenario. Even if life in between the two tropic lines became almost unbearable, humanity would survive just fine. The people inside those lines contribute very little to life on earth, and the ones who do contribute could easily move north or south.

The main effect would be on drug production and cruise ships.

“95% chance that man-made global warming is a lie!”

Preferred headline.

[Reno89519]

5%?! I think I’ll drop everything and join the anthropological global warming religion.

[Godzilla]

better odds that planet X will destroy the earth before global warming will

[Amendment10]

Concerning the integrity of global warming alarmism, its telling that the Scripps prediction of climate doom indicates that the “evasive maneuvers” that some European countries are planning to take with respect to reducing global warming are not going to work. (The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.)

• France's new 'climate plan': Sales of petrol and diesel vehicles to end by 2040

• California should phase out gas-powered cars (Europe mentioned)

95% chance that everything will be just fine.
