Christiana Figureres, the former head of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, recently joined with a group of climate scientists and policy wonks to state there are three years left to get emissions moving sharply downward. If, that is, were holding out hope of limiting the warming of the globe to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial temperatures, often cited as the threshold where dangerous warming begins (although in truth, thats a matter of interpretation).
Yet a battery of recent studies call into question even that limited optimism. Last week, a group of climate researchers published research suggesting the climate has been warming for longer than we thought due to human influences in essence, pushing the so-called preindustrial baseline for the planets warming backwards in time. The logic is clear: If the Earth has already warmed more than we thought due to human activities, then theres even less remaining carbon dioxide that we can emit and still avoid 2 degrees of warming.

Alas, no. It was a real trailer for a fictional movie by Al Gore.

Just like we couldn’t avoid acid rain, world food shortage, peak oil and all of the other lib created nonsense.
These weather - phobes are so frightened the their grant monies will dry-up. What pathetic anti-science losers.
Yep - liberals have no clue about reality. You are right...if there is global warming, it is caused by that huge ball of fire in the sky.
Only a 5% chance of success. Forget it. Let’s party until the burns up. Just like the 60’s again.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.
