In the latest in radical climate doomsaying, a new report warns that fossil fuel consumption will need to be reduced “below a quarter of primary energy supply by 2100” to avoid possibly disastrous effects on global temperatures.
In their report, titled “Pathways for balancing CO2 emissions and sinks,” a team of eight scientists warns that “anthropogenic emissions need to peak within the next 10 years, to maintain realistic pathways to meeting the COP21 emissions and warming targets.”
The statement was immediately repackaged by environmentalists to read: “Scientists say we have ten years to save the earth.”
As is always the case in studies of this sort, the scientists juggle dozens of variables, none of which is entirely predictable and which taken together tell us virtually nothing about the future of the environment.
Although the scientists admit that “there are significant uncertainties associated with projecting energy consumption several decades into the future,” they fail to acknowledge a number of even greater uncertainties implicit in their calculations.
Despite their valiant efforts to produce trustworthy projections, the scientists rely on basic presumptions that are contested by extremely capable minds within their own field.
Dr. Duane Thresher, a climate scientist with a Ph.D. from Columbia University and NASA GISS, has stated bluntly that it is “mathematically impossible for climate models to predict climate.”
Appealing to corollaries of the well-known “Butterfly Effect,” Thresher said that long-term climate forecasting is “a quintessential example of this phenomenon” because of the elevated number of variables playing into climate phenomena.

Yes.
His tactics must have worked. We didn’t die. /s LOL
Ignoring him worked!
I remember my junior high school science teacher telling us that the earth would freeze up in ten years. That was in the early 70’s. When it didn’t freeze, they started using global warming as the new propaganda.
Weather wise this is on of the greatest Easters that i can remember, currently 85 degrees in my Boston burb with the sun shinning bright.
Noticed that many of the trees around me has sprouted leaves over night.
THANK YOU algore!!
Lying pieces of corrupt RAT-crap!
KILL “climate research” funding NOW!
How about if these clowns making these predictions commit ‘sepuku’ if they’re wrong?
I think they’ve finally reached “Peak Bullsh!t”
“In the year is 1994 from outer space comes run-a-way planet hurdling between the Earth and the Moon unleashing cosmic destruction, Man civilization is cast into ruins”.....oops this crap gets more cartoonist as time goes one.
(correction) as time goes on.
These climate alarmists are always running around with their hair on fire.
Yeah you bet. They told us that in the seventies too
Didn’t they say that 30 years ago?
10 years to cash in on the global warming scam....
These same “scientists” predicted, oh wait... “projected”, “2C/per century warming”.
So far we’ve had 0.85C since 1870.
And it’s ALL been beneficial.

“I remember this same article from the 70’s, what happened??”
The propaganda line switched from freezing in the 70s, to warming in the 80s, to change in the 2000s. Other than that, the only changes recorded are to the vastly increased bank accounts of various and sundry scientists, pundits, and politicians.
They said the same thing ten years ago and ten years before that.
The al gore doomsday clock already ran out. At least my family got an armageddon cake out of it ;)
