Climate science update: from bad to worse (7C degrees temperature rise, 3 foot sea level rise.)

I've got a great idea. Let's give out brave climate scientists more data for their "conclusions" by letting them experience this future world they are predicting.

We'll lock them in a tank with the temperature 12.6F above room temperature (72 F), with 3 ft of water at the same temperature. Since we're all going to starve in their future world, we won't give them food, and since they have water, there's no need to give them any more. They're back to nature types, so they won't need a bathroom either. We'll give them, oh, a month of this and see what conclusions they draw.

Yep.

1 degree C = 1.8 degrees F

Any sixth grader should be able to call them on that one...

OTOH,

10.8 degrees F = 6 degrees C.

Could it be that they just sneaked in another degree (Celsius) of phoney "Gorebull Warming" -- just by publishing another hokey number they figured no one would check?

Charlatans!!!

"...but in seriousness what plant does the AP reside on?"

Ummmm... Plant Cannabis? ;-}

Now that’s a carbon credit program that I might be able to live with. ;-)

I suspect an idiot reporter / editor more than a malicious intent there.

Still, it does one's credibility no good to claim that 7C = 10.8 F
