1983. NBC News warns of Catastrophe climate change by the 1990’s

There is no such thing as global mean surface temperature. Dr. Michael Crichton pointed that out in his book State of Fear years ago. Just more of the climate BS.
10 real data points and 14 billion conjecture. What a joke.
It does clarify matters a good deal. Either the Earth is warming or it is cooling or it is staying the same. Where’s my grant money?
This is bad, if things continue on this trajectory we may only have another million years before things get noticeable warmer.
But, but, but...it’s THREE WHOLE DEGREES! (Sob, sniffle)
From the Industrial Revolution until now, and all the industry in that time, we’ve only increased 3 degrees. Remarkable. The earth must have some amazing recuperative properties to have kept the increase to such a minimal level.
Well, ten years later, 1993, I don’t sense ant
y change.
Oh, it’s 2023? Oops, my bad. That massive change? I still don’t sense much. Yes, it was 11°C (52°F) yesterday, but certainly not a record. It is called a CHINOOK! Thank God for Chinooks!
I and many of my FR colleagues will support your quest for grant money from our illustrious government...but ONLY if the planet is warming, cooling or staying the same. any other status is a non-starter. good luck.
We are still coming out of the “Little Ice Age” period that ended in the mid 1800s.
Good catch...
You’re going to need to expand the graph by at least 2 degrees to show the predicted temperature in 2080. 🌡️
That was a great book. I have to say, I was completely amused and impressed by the concept of bad guys who give Chase to their enemies, not in black Lincolns, or Cadillacs, but in Toyota Prius‘s!
He was a great author. Died too soon…
It was interesting to read about the making of the movie “Andromeda strain“ where the movie, pretty much reflected the state of art of pathogen discovery at the time (1971) and Crichton was so adamant about realism, that he had to fight with the backers of the movie because he swelled the budget of the movie by buying actual state of the art biological research equipment .
Wikipedia said: “A 2003 publication by the Infectious Diseases Society of America noted that The Andromeda Strain is the “most significant, scientifically accurate, and prototypic of all films of this [killer virus] genre ... it accurately details the appearance of a deadly agent, its impact, and the efforts at containing it, and, finally, the work-up on its identification and clarification on why certain persons are immune to it.”
Michael Crichton, author and filmmaker known for Jurassic Park and the television show E.R., says:
“Is the globe warming? Yes. Is the greenhouse effect real? Yes. Is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, being increased by men? Yes. Would we expect this warming to have an effect? Yes. Do human beings in general affect the climate? Yes.”
Throughout many glacial periods life on earth flourished between glacial times. During glacial periods it was tough for life on earth, very tough. Geologically the warming periods were brief and glacial periods long and hard.
An interglacial or interglacial period is the warmer period of time between ice ages where glaciers retreat and sea levels rise. Over the last 450,000 years, glacials have lasted anywhere from 70,000 to 90,000 years whereas interglacials last approximately 10,000 years.
Their is a climate crisis in our near future. It is called “The Next Ice Age.” Note: when I say near future, it could be one or two thousand years or perhaps less. It will happen!
Absolutely right on the money, in fact the last interglacial was even much warmer than we are now.
And yes, as always in the cycle, we are late for the very real ice age that is coming soon in the cycle.
We've been in a period of global warming since 1715 or so, the nadir of the Little Ice Age. In the 13th Century, English monasteries were able to grow vinifera grapes. By 1599, Shakespeare was able to have the Globe Theater dismantled over Christmas and the heavy timbers hauled across the frozen Thames.
One can agree that CO2 contributes to global warming. But the question is, by how much? There is no convincing explanation for the several centuries long period temperature oscillations that created the Bronze Age Warm Period, Roman Warm Period and Medieval Warm Period as well as the Little Ice Age. The best "fit" is variation in solar activity associated with sunspots. But the periodicity of the changes and their causes are poorly understood, which means we could spend trillions on useless "green" solutions to a problem we are not causing.
Temperatures began to rise in the mid 1930’s, about the same time that cities began to expand and began to pave their roads.
Temperatures have not gone up. Temperature measurements have gone up. The measurements can be affected by more than just temperature. They can be affected by changes in the areas surrounding the measuring devices that capture and store heat.
Well done—exactly the way they teach it in this classic:

The book had a major influence on my life—it was how I figured out that just about every “expert” out there was a scumbag liar.
