UN climate report author: ambitious actions needed to slow global warming
Cornell Chronicle ^ | October 18, 2018 | by David Nutt

In March 2017, Natalie Mahowald, professor of earth and atmospheric sciences and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future’s faculty director for the environment, was selected by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a lead author on the “Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius.”

The final report made international headlines when it was released Oct. 8. Among its key findings: scientific evidence is clear that human activities have caused 1 C of global warming since the late 1800s, and current trends suggest if the planet keeps warming at the same rate global warming will pass 1.5 C around 2040, with disastrous consequences for humans and ecosystems alike. (In Fahrenheit, a change of 1 C is 1.8 F and 1.5 C is 2.7 F.)

In this Q&A, Mahowald discusses her role in the report, its findings and proposed solutions, and the work everyone must do to limit global warming.

When algore starts flying coach and sells his huge mansions in Tennessee and on Malibu's beachfront I'll start taking "climate change" seriously.

Until then.....

All we need is all of your money, and total control over you...for the environment. Yeah, the environment.

"ambitious actions needed"... That's thought police jargon for taxes... More taxes on top of other taxes and lots of tax money for global warming advocates to blow on nonsense and partying at the expense of taxpayers.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Global Warming is global cooling."

Climate is made up of consistently predictable, long-term weather events.
Can we control the weather?

The UN contributes enough BS to the atmosphere [BS contains more atmospheric pollutants than fossil fuels] that by eradicating the whole corrupted bureaucracy of the UN, we will help them reach their goal of a 2.7° F reduction in alleged greenhouse gasses.

Problem solved.

Get the Yurps to do it. They’re the ones who are so keen on this Haia worshiping crap.

Oh wait. Their emissions are growing despite still being in the Paris Agreement while ours have declined despite not being part of the Paris Agreement any more.

Let the countries that still haven’t managed to provide clean water and sewage systems start worrying about their population’s effect on the environment. First things first. Oh...and not one dime from the USA for “climate change.”
