Hopes of mild climate change dashed by new research
The Guardian ^ | July 5, 2017 | by Damian Carrington

Hopes that the world’s huge carbon emissions might not drive temperatures up to dangerous levels have been dashed by new research.

The work shows that temperature rises measured over recent decades do not fully reflect the global warming already in the pipeline and that the ultimate heating of the planet could be even worse than feared.

How much global temperatures rise for a certain level of carbon emissions is called climate sensitivity and is seen as the single most important measure of climate change. Computer models have long indicated a high level of sensitivity, up to 4.5C for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere.

However in recent years estimates of climate sensitivity based on historical temperature records from the past century or so have suggested the response might be no more than 3C. This would mean the planet could be kept safe with lower cuts in emissions, which are easier to achieve.

The world may already be seeing the increasing rises in temperature, said Prof Piers Wanker at the University of Leeds, UK: “It may already be happening – the rapid increase in temperatures since 2014 could be partly due to the eastern Pacific catching up.”

So I guess China and India should start cutting emissions then.

Uh-huh. And what do we do about the sun. Mr. Carrington? I can't seem to find its dimmer switch.....

Or it could be El Nino, which causes higher temperatures and was occurring 2014-2016.

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!

No really! The sky is falling. ignore the skiing in Squaw Valley in July. Ignore the ice sheets that did not go away . Ignore all of those fake news stories about the models being skewed by faked data.

Now we have real proof. Just read this article. Yes we got it wrong before but now we have it nailed.

THE SKY REALY IS FALLING. WE ARE GOING TO HIT 250 DEGREES BEFORE THE WEEK IS OUT.

MAJOR BULLSHIT SARCASM TAG.

[[Hopes that the world’s huge carbon emissions]]

HUUUUUGE! I tell you- Why it’s nearly 0.00136% of the atmosphere! When will the madness stop? HUUUGE! The sky is literally gonna fall from that much ‘extra weight’

HUUUUGE!

“could be”

Right there it isn’t news. It’s propaganda.

It’s not the carbon, it’s the CO2.

And it just gets worse for Algore and his minions:
IS THIS THE DAGGER IN THE BLACK HEART OF THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM??
This is a long article but I think many will find it to be of enough interest that it is worth the time for reading it.
This court case in Canada along with another Canadian court case that is scheduled on a court docket for this fall could very well mark the “beginning of the end” of the global climate change scammery.
Now, how about taking a big chunk out of the fat butt of the scummiest master of scammery — The Goracle?

No actual scientific research uses the phrase “is seen”. What the heck does that even mean ?
