Climate Scientists Spread Panic: ‘Ten Years’ to Save the Earth
Breitbart ^ | April 15, 2017 | by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 04/16/2017 10:34:59 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

This is the same speech they gave 10 years ago, or was it 20?

It’s been “ten years” every ten years since the early 70s. More liberal BS like the “eleven million” illegal aliens number. LOL. Clowns.

That would make ‘FINALITY’ two years into the next term of the POTUS - assuming (as everyone does) that DJT will have a 2-term presidency.
Funny how that works?
The conservatives wouldn’t dare elect another Republican after Trump otherwise, they will be bringing ‘FINALITY’ upon the Erf.

As always, check my tagline...

Gotta keep the funding gravy flowing.

I am sure they are aware that fake stress can cause some people to get sick and die early just as much as genuine stress does.

Exactly. Nature doesn’t follow base 10 math.

a team of eight scientists warns that “anthropogenic emissions need to peak within the next 10 years..."

Where's the beef?

Show me the eight names, then show me the analysis supporting the doomsday scenario.

Haven't seen anything worth commenting about.

What happened? Was there another hairdresser convention somewhere?

The "appeal to authority" fallacy.
When short on facts, dazzle 'em with bullshit.

Just throw out the word "anthropogenic" and the dummies freeze right up. Awesome word, that...

The argument follows that of many religions in that even though we don’t know for certain the consequences are so great if we don’t believe that we MUST believe.

Yes, climate science is a religion.

The matter was tabled for later consideration by the Committee on Righteous Condemnation of the Earth-Killers.

These people are insane. If life ends in ten years, it won’t be due to man made climate change because that does not exist. More like God made asteroids or a star.

That’s what they said last time, 15 years ago.

No more snow. Coastline tides rising 5 feet.

mr. Ubama claimed we would be able to see during his error the oceans actually recede. Did it measurably happen?

Then I wonder why Hillary and Obama and hollywierds were flying private jets around.

Oh, that's right. Now I remember - it's climate change for thee but not for me.

This is nothing more than control and power attempts in action.

I spit on these "scientists".

In the 80's it was the coming ice age. Oh DOOM. Oh GLOOM.

Oh Catastrophe.

These people are a complete joke.

Total volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .03%.

Man made contributions to that are 3.225% of that .03%.

NOAA Temperature Adjustments Correlate Exactly with the Rise in CO2 - Big Surprise

Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend. These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering. When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.

NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years March 7, 2016

NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ 6/4/2015

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year “pause” in global warming: They “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record. New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.

NOAA = Fake Science!
