Only 3 years left....? I’ll go start up the grill.

So true. The media has been covering for DiCaprio for some time. The foreign press outlets have been tougher. I’ve yet to hear one reporter say, “Leonardo, you’re a great actor and you really seem to care about the environment. So why can’t you live up to your rhetoric?”

I might fall off my chair, though!

The socialist-democrat globalists are becoming more hysterical every day as their global warming/climate change/carbon credit ponzi scheme shakedown racket unravels.

I personally would love to see the perpetrators of this whole diabolical scheme die lonely, incarcerated, bankrupt, and insane.

Central Texas - we did break a heat record recently.

It had been set in 1951.

🤔. So, 95% chance of avoiding it? Or is it 95% non-dangerous. These warmunists are confusing.

I did a study of global warning once and found that it is a hoax. So there, mine cancels theirs, and mine is more honest.

Is that a young Morning Joe?

3 years. Does that mean that in three years they will quit yelling? Or will they give us another three years?

Christiana, can you show the scientific data behind your 95% estimate?

Progressivism is the Cult of the Moving Goal Posts.

If they would all abjure carbon emitting power for their houses and transportation there are enough of them that it would make a noticeable (to a statistician) reduction in output. It certainly would restrict the production of hot air somewhat.

Why is Greenland called Greenland?

Mark your calendars, everyone. Three years from today, the ice caps will melt, the seas will rise and New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles will be under water.

There’s also a 0% chance these idiots can predict next weeks weather any better than weather.com.

OK looks like there were some real scientists quoted in that article like this guy.

“there are three years left to get emissions moving sharply downward”

good. then in 3 years when that hasn’t happened, we won’t need to worry about it it anymore: we’re doomed no matter what we do.
