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.

Exactly.
A guess is an unproven theory! And nothing is absolute in science.
I would trust the AWG theory more if scientists would be honest and admit that they really don’t know for certain because they can’t.
And then, do we want create an economic hardship on middle class Americans for something that is an unproven theory.
Be honest with us!
Somehow, the planet has become utterly dependent on uppity liberal self-perpetuating jobs and taxes. Earth itself is reduced to jonesing for free stuff. If we don’t pay up, the looting begins (tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis). Save the climatologists!! On second thought, please don’t.
Better: send them all to the Mohave to live in a commune for the next 10 years, so they can pretend to be learning how to ‘fix’ the coming Dune scenario.
... compared to their research grants, which need to continue to increase at ever faster rates.
It will be less than 1/4 by 2050 thanks to American innovation and no thanks to globalists and chinese copycats. The worst thing we could do right now is buy Chinese crap that will be obsolete in 10 years.
Polar bears have increased despite major amounts of hunting (and poaching). But there is less Arctic ice which is a good thing. More Arctic ice and growing glaciers in the rest of the world would be very bad for us.
In this case the word "scientists" needs to be put in parentheses, or add "so called."
I am looking forward to seeing real science being published in plain English, in order that the so-called scientists can improve and learn about the scientific method.
We will all be better for it.

The only greenhouse gas of consequence is water vapor. Carbon dioxide is .04% of the atmosphere, and 80% of that small number comes from non human, natural sources. The amount of water vapor in the air changes rapidly with temperature, and this has dramatic tangible effects on the climate. Not so much with carbon dioxide. Why? Because we have deep oceans of water that cover 70% of the planet.
There is absolutely NOTHING, that mankind can do about that.
After your post, what else needs to be said here? Not much.
Gdless people are VERY gullible.

Idiots, where do they come from? Mainly from liberal and the Democrat Party groups.
Gore’s had a good few decades of Happy chakra endlings for his troubles.
It just struck me that the gobull warming people are a variation of “the boy who cried wolf.” They want attention but have cried ‘help’ so much.....
I shall keep ignoring them, as this planet has gone through more massive shifts in climate than, to me, man has ever been able to influence. For me, volcanoes are much more responsible for changes and that bright yellow object in the sky that is referred to as ‘the sun.’
Exactly, along with fomenting terrorism to create the NWO surveillance state, it’s the favored mechanism to force a Socialist style redistribution of the wealth and sovereignty of richer nations and put them under the umbrella control of the Globalist.
Global Warming, renamed ‘climate change’ for obvious reasons, is the perfect boogie man, a threat so large and potent that only they can perceive it, only they can understand the peril and calculate the danger for us,
The corrupt managed MSM is the cheerleaders for it,
Meanwhile the Gore Effect is causing freak record cold streaks and snow storms to occur all over the planet. The true God has a sense of humor!
