Earth will face a SIXTH mass extinction by 2100 thanks to global warming, predicts mathematician

How convenient that Professor Daniel Rothman won’t be around to answer for his prediction. What does he think will happen next month?

By the year 2100, about 310 gigatons of carbon will have been added to the oceans - a potential 'tipping point' for ecological disaster, according to the study.

The earth and it's atmosphere is a closed system, nothing is added to it.

Where did the carbon come from???? Oh, the earth. Where is it going???? Oh, the earth.

310 gigatons of carbon will not be added, just moved and re-cycled.

What did the constipated mathematician do?

He worked it out with a pencil

[NorthMountain]

Nonsense. If Powerball and Mega Millions are honest games, there is no “math” to “figuring them out”. They’re random numbers.

And, no liberals will be allowed entry. ;-)

If human-caused climate change is going to cause this 6th extinction event, who/what caused the other 5 extinction events?

Interesting article about acidification of the oceans.

Yes, much of what the left is doing in climate change is to take control of our lives. They have lied about the research. They are vomit inducing hypocritical. But I do have some concern about what is happening to the oceans. Moving toward environmentally friendly sources of renewable power is a good thing and, unlike most here, I do not mock the general goal. If we ultimately get to the place, after capital expenditure, that we get almost “free” power from the sun, that’s good. As long as there is a balance that allows us to move that way without destroying jobs and the world economy and giving the elitists control over our daily lives, I am fine with the efforts. I try to lead my own life as if I am renting my space here and I want God to give me back my security deposit.

Flame away if you like, but I am not going to respond. Just giving an opinion.

Oh well, I won’t be here for it. /s

[trebb]

Must be using that newfangled math.....someone should make him check his work and show it clearly...

Let’s see your data, you fraud!

[BlueLancer]

Oh well, I won’t be here for it. /s

Darn, don't tell me that I'm going to miss another one. I missed the first five, so I thought that, for sure, I would get to see this one ... but NOOOOOOOOO ...

[BlueLancer]

The model showed the critical extra amount required is about 310 gigatons ...

310 GIGATONS!!??

[BlueLancer]

That's the first thing that I thought of as well ... I used a different picture, but I guess I was just a little too late to the party.

[BlueLancer]

He worked it out with a pencil.

...about 310 gigatons of carbon...

Now, THAT is a sh*tload of pencils!

Day after tomorrow, if I read this right:

I predict, with 99% certainty, that is mathematician will not be here to be called out on his incorrect prediction when it proves to be wrong.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

No reason to flame, I agree with you and the goals of actual environmentalism, just not the Marxist left pushing an agenda as “science”.

You know, I’m rethinking Mao’s cultural revolution.

Maybe it wasn’t a such bad idea taking all the academics and sending them out to do actual work in the farms.
