1989 FLASHBACK: U.N. Predicts Climate Disaster by 2000 if Global Warming Not Stopped
Big League Politics ^ | February 26, 2019 | Jonathon A Moseley

Should you trust “experts” whose predictions are always wrong?

It is too late to do anything about the unproven hypothesis that humans are causing enormous planet Earth’s climate to change. Maybe human activity is affecting the planet’s temperature (it isn’t). Maybe we could have done something about it (we never could, that’s ludicrous considering the size of the planet). But whatever we could have done, it’s too late now. We should just stop worrying about it.

United Nations’ experts told us that by 1999 it was too late to halt global warming. In 1989, there was a 10 year window, and it was over by 1999. It is now too late to do anything about global warming. The window closed in 1989.

The Associated Press is reporting on this June 29, 1989, that

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

Most amazing of all, the United Nations experts reported on June 29, 1989, that

The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.

Id. “The next 30 years” from June 29, 1989 is — June 29, 2019, a few months from today. Therefore, according to experts the Earth is going to rise dramatically in temperature in the next few months.

We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.″

He said even the most conservative scientists ″already tell us there’s nothing we can do now to stop a … change″ of about 3 degrees.

Meanwhile NBC News is reporting on September 14, 2006 that BY 2016 it will be “too late” to do anything about man-made global warming. We had only “one decade left” from September 2016 to act in time. Well, that time has come and gone. So …. Don’t worry about it. It’s too late now.

WARMING EXPERT: ONLY DECADE LEFT TO ACT IN TIME ‘We have a very brief window of opportunity,’ NASA scientist says

updated 9/14/2006 6:17:24 PM ET

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A leading U.S. climate researcher says the world has a 10-year window of opportunity to take decisive action on global warming and avert catastrophe.

NASA scientist James Hansen, widely considered the doyen of American climate researchers, said governments must adopt an alternative scenario to keep carbon dioxide emission growth in check and limit the increase in global temperatures to 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).

“I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change … no longer than a decade, at the most,” Hansen said Wednesday at the Climate Change Research Conference in California’s state capital.

If the world continues with a “business as usual” scenario, Hansen said temperatures will rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (3.6 to 7.2 degrees F) and “we will be producing a different planet.”

“Warming expert: Only decade left to act in time,” NBC News, September 14, 2006 (emphasis added).

“It is not too late to save the Arctic, but it requires that we begin to slow carbon dioxide emissions this decade,” Hansen said in a statement.

Scientists and climate models have long predicted a drop in winter sea ice, but it has been slow to happen. Global warming skeptics have pointed to the lack of ice melt as a flaw in global warming theory.

Id. (September 14, 2006) (emphasis added).

But now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has moved the goal posts again, saying we have only another 12 years. Funny that the deadline is always about 10 years out in the future, yet the end of the world is near. Enough to scare people and governments out of their money. But the deadline never arrives. So Ocasio-Cortez now says the world will end if we don’t act in 12 years.

These doom-and-gloomers understood that as Asia took our middle-class jobs they’d want a middle-class standard of living - and they couldn’t imagine a few billion more people driving in cars or living in detached single-family homes. This will be for the 1%ers, and the rest of us will live in worker hives and use mass transit...

So why would proponents of climate change continually tell the world that we have only a few years to act, when again and again their predictions prove false? What happens when you drag $106 billion through a research office park? If James Carville believes dragging $100 bill through a trailer park will get you people to say anything about a political candidate, imagine what a motivation $106 billion can be.

President Trump in only two years has reversed Gorebull Warming. We are now in a cooling trend for at least the near future.

What happened to that global cooling panic reported by the TIMES in the 70’s? Okay, it turned into global warming.

The old farmer’s almanac predicted a wet and warm winter here in Texas. I haven’t run my sprinklers since August and we dipped below freezing maybe a handful of nights.

I trust that book way more than any goof that tries to predict what the weather will be in 20 years.

Having pointed out similar things to Leftist, they'll point to the statement "A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth..."

See! They claim triumphantly, "They said it could wipe nations off the Earth, not that it would, so it could still be happening!"

Facts, reason, and truth mean nothing to those people.

About a year earlier, Ted Danson predicted that NYC and LA would be under water within 10 yrs. if we didn’t DO SOMETHING about climate change immediately. Too bad that bubble dweller couldn’t go back to his old gig as Sam the bartender in Cheers, at least that was somewhat entertainig.

In 1989 we had only a 10 year window until 2000 to save the planet...

In 2019, they have now given us a 12 year window until 2031 to save the planet...

In 2032 I suspect we will get a 14 year window until 2046 to save the planet...

We're gaining on that global warming stuff folks. Keep working hard at it!

30 years. BTW I live on Long Island NY right by the sea. That sea level has not risen a freakin inch in all that time. I know, because there’s a pier right near where I live and I remember looking at the water level by one of the support beams back then and it’s in the same freakin place with each passing tide. You can see where the water level cuts off with barnacles and algae and above it is clean wood. Same with New York city down by the lower east side. If the water level was rising the FDR drive would have been flooded by now. That street is only a few feet above the water level which you can see right here, and it’s been there since the island was first colonized and was used as a shipping port. The left is BULLSH*TTING PEOPLE.......

A lot farmers and ranchers survived due to The Farmers Almanac.

The only value of tv weathermen might be warning us of tornadoes, hail storms or blizzards heading our way at this moment.

".... Facts, reason, and truth mean nothing to those people....."

Why do you think AO-C claims that facts aren't important so long as you do what is morally right?

None of these people deal with facts. It's all about their feelings, their morals and the unicorn farts they smell for breakfast every morning.

Thank God, I think a trend is forming. Americans, and I stress Americans, because God knows global warming is religion in my country, are basically tuning out on global warming now. No one wants to be labelled a “denier” so most people aren’t willing to publicly voice dissent, but most I am starting to observe are just not buying the gloom and doom anymore. It’s like no one wants to say that little boy in shorts and a dirty shirt is a bald faced liar when he yells “wolf” - but we all know he is.

You just can’t change “global warming” to climate change and then double down on your claims during the coldest winter in 26 years and have any credibility remain.

To paraphrase Orwell: The date for Climate Change Disaster is 2050. It always has been 2050. It never was 2000, or 2005, or 2015, or 2020 . . . . .
