It never gets old.

The world stands on the brink of failure when it comes to holding global warming to moderate levels, and nations will need to take “unprecedented” actions to cut their carbon emissions over the next decade, according to a landmark report by the top scientific body studying climate change.
With global emissions showing few signs of slowing and the United States — the world’s second-largest emitter of carbon dioxide — rolling back a suite of Obama-era climate measures, the prospects for meeting the most ambitious goals of the 2015 Paris agreement look increasingly slim. To avoid racing past warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) over preindustrial levels would require a “rapid and far-reaching” transformation of human civilization at a magnitude that has never happened before, the group found.
“There is no documented historic precedent” for the sweeping change to energy, transportation and other systems required to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) wrote in a report requested as part of the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

I thought it was 18 years ago.
The nice thing about the comment is that it’s a nice round number. They could have said 3650 days but a decade has such a good ring to it.
I can guarantee the Compost won’t be reporting the following. what a scam! spread it around:
7 Oct: Watts Up With That: Anthony Watts: BOMBSHELL: audit of global warming data finds it riddled with errors
Just ahead of a new report from the IPCC, dubbed SR#15 about to be released today, we have this bombshell- a detailed audit shows the surface temperature data is unfit for purpose. The first ever audit of the world’s most important temperature data set (HadCRUT4) has found it to be so riddled with errors and “freakishly improbable data” that it is effectively useless...

And by then his bank account will need topping-up!
With Trump in charge of the world’s biggest economy, the UN is on thin ice.
Trump eliminated TPP, NAFTA, hates the EU, called out NATO to pay its bills... Nikki Haley calling out the UN on a weekly basis... it’s a given that the UN is nearing its expiration date.
They said the same thing 100 years ago and it was debunked then just as now.
Cults are funny. They will believe anything if the message is delivered the right way.
The global warming cult has morphed into a religion of sorts. Sad and pathetic.

I guess Rush needs to put another countdown on his website.
There must be something magical about 10 years. The thing is they keep saying that the end is only 10 years away. Its never 9 years, 8 years, or anything less than 10 years. So as long as we are always 10 years away from the end of the world then we are good.
Fewer mouths to feed, such as useless do-nothing UN bureaucrats, won't save the Earth, but sure will make it a nicer place.
Aint gunna happen so we may as well give up now! :)
We have a new ten years! It’s a miracle! Woohoo!
The alien spacecraft bringing the global warming did not arrive on the date predicted by our leader. Whatever will we do now?
This has been studied:
It never gets old.
Catastrophe is always 10 years away. Close enough to demand ACTION NOW!, but long enough that hardly anyone will remember the prediction when it doesn’t happen.
My understanding of climate change is that it occurs in 3 month cycles of heating and cooling.
Yep. It's always 10 years, so when it doesn't happen, no one remembers. Screw them.
