For decades now, those concerned about global warming have been predicting the so-called “tipping point” — the point beyond which it’ll be too late to stave off catastrophic global warming.
It seems like every year the “tipping point” is close to being reached, and that the world must get rid of fossil fuels to save the planet. That is, until we’ve passed that deadline and the next such “tipping point” is predicted.
Would you believe it was eight years ago today that the United Nations predicted we only had “as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more.” This failed prediction, however, has not stopped the U.N. from issuing more apocalyptic predictions since.
To celebrate more than two decades of dire predictions, The Daily Caller News Foundation presents this list of some of the “greatest” predictions made by scientists, activists and politicians — most of which we’ve now passed...
9. The “tipping point” warning first started in 1989
In the late 1980s the U.N. was already claiming the world had only a decade to solve global warming or face the consequences.
The San Jose Mercury News reported on June 30, 1989 that a “senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.”
That prediction didn’t come true 15 years ago, and the U.N. is sounding the same alarm today.

I think that this is the result of some confusion on Al Gore’s part. What Gore was really talking about was the “Tipper” point. That is the point where Tipper got sick of Al Gore’s philandering and kicked his ass out.

Please declare it “too late to do anything” so we can forget about the biggest hoax in human history and go about out lives.
Genesis 8:22 shows that God (the God who created hell) promised that cold and heat, summer and winter would never cease for as long as the earth endures.
” The San Jose Mercury News reported on June 30, 1989 that a “senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.” “

Time for liberal elites to come up with a new scam - this one's getting long in the tooth...
The reason is, because that's the way God wants it.
On the other hand, Harper’s has a provocative article about the coming ice age:

“Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man.....
..............For whatever that means”

“What’s going on?”
The only tipping point that matters concerns Iran getting nukes and inter continental ballistic missiles. Everything else is just a circus freak show.
And 25 years of getting it wrong.
