‘We’re all in big trouble’: Climate panel sees a dire future

NEW YORK (AP) — Earth is in more hot water than ever before, and so are we, an expert United Nations climate panel warned in a grim new report Wednesday.

Sea levels are rising at an ever-faster rate as ice and snow shrink, and oceans are getting more acidic and losing oxygen, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in a report issued as world leaders met at the United Nations.

Scientists are fortune tellers now. They don’t need evidence to see the future.

“Sea levels are rising at an ever-faster rate as ice and snow shrink”
Ok, as soon as the island that the Statue of Liberty is on starts showing signs of a rising sea then I might believe it.
Just watch the Liberty Insurance commercials, it never changes!!
Na, I’ll never believe the global warming lie!

Your comment made me think of the ocean floor.

First time I’ve thought of this - but what about plate tectonics? The USA and Europe is getting pushed closer IIRC.

The Pacific Ocean is increasing in size, but lava is entering the ocean floor at the rift. So say for every 1 cubic foot of new lava, but only 0.9 cubic feet “disappears”, then the ocean has less capacity. And would cause ocean levels to rise.

Seriously - I wonder if those dynamics have been taken into account? Hmmm - maybe I can get a billion dollar grant. I could buy Paul Allen’s yacht for a research vessel.

More your gonna die BS.

Of the 41 dire predictions spread by the liars all 41 have failed to come true.

Exactly zero predictions have come true about glo bull warming.

They need to go away and STFU. Taking away all of their funding would be a great place to start.

"Why are they even holding these anymore?"

Now that you ask, politically correct global warming alarmists are probably trying to conserve momentum of Greta Thunberg in conjunction with the fact that they haven’t run out of someone else's money.

BoringStoned at it again. Someone tell this idiot that the oceans can’t become more acidic because they are not acidic to begin with. The oceans are base. They may become a little less base in places from time to time but it is just pure propaganda to say they are becoming acidic. This is a blatant technique to link the oceans with acid rain, and generate urgency.

What you do is grab your calculator on your phone, and multiply the decimal, which is, today, .65 x 365 = 237.

This means 11 years, 237 days, or 11 years, 7 months, 27 days, until the next prediction.

Sea levels are rising...somebody tell the Obama’s who just bought a $14 million mansion on Marthas Vineyard that sits only a few feet above sea level. Ditto for Al Gore with his California seaside mansion.

its more a rhetorical question, you and i and everyone else here knows why. its a racket. its where socialism went to thrive under the guise of ‘saving the planet’. from the benefits of capitalism, like air conditioning and relatively easy travel options, etc.

They need to provide the data to support “acceleration” - because the narrative has been “if we continue our ways we predict in 80 years a 2C degree temp increase....” - so to suddenly claim that it’s all PERCEPTIVELY VISIBLE NOW is absurd and goes against their prior predictions. I thought the science was settled? Hmmm, seems not.

I guess it really does mean that we’re all gonna die in about a decade! Unless somebody starts WWIII right now we know politics won’t move quick enough. Oh well, guess there’s no point in trying. /s
