Delingpole: Lockdown Equivalent Every Two Years to Save Planet, Claim ‘Experts’
breitbart.com ^ | 3/5/2021 | James Delingpole

Posted on 03/05/2021 8:42:19 AM PST by rktman

Carbon dioxide emissions need to fall by the equivalent of a lockdown every two years to save the planet, climate scientists have claimed.

The claim derives from a paper in the journal Nature Climate Change titled ‘Fossil CO2 emissions in the post-COVID-19 era’.

According to the abstract:

Five years after the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement, growth in global CO2emissions has begun to falter. The pervasive disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic have radically altered the trajectory of global CO2 emissions. Contradictory effects of the post-COVID-19 investments in fossil fuel-based infrastructure and the recent strengthening of climate targets must be addressed with new policy choices to sustain a decline in global emissions in the post-COVID-19 era.

In short, the nations of the world will need to do much, much more if they are to meet the CO2emissions reduction targets set out by the Paris Climate Agreement. This is predicated on the idea that by keeping global industrial CO2emissions below a certain level, mankind will somehow tweak the global temperature control knob to such effect that planetary warming will be kept within a supposedly safe range of “1.5 °C to well below 2 °C.”

Uh, no. Pretty sure, even if uncomfortable, that the warmer weather/climate is more survivable. Polar bears may disagree. Simply, adapt or die. Haven't these 'x-spurts' seen snow piercer? :-) Like the old ads used to say, not nice to fool mother nature. She will win in the end.

This report has already been debunked...

Well, all you have to do to figure out what Leftists intend to do or are doing, is to simply listen to them.

They will tell you. They cannot help themselves.

Carbon dioxide emissions are not a problem. They are only an imaginary problem to be used as a tool by the power hungry to control the entire human race in every aspect of our lives.

I’m looking forward to visiting Siberian wine country and the redwoods of the Sahara.

A warmer planet is a wetter planet.

Hey, and I’ll bet there will be some AWESOME skiing in Antarctica if it warms up a bit.

In 1999, NASA data showed the 1930's was much hotter than recent decades

By 2019, NASA data showed recent decades HOTTER than that any recorded temperatures in the last couple of centuries.

The scammers in our gubermint are ADJUSTING TEMPERATURES to fit their CO2 models! These DimWIT scammers think you're dumb enough to believe headlines that say last August was the second hottest August ever. They are lying, and it all goes to $$, BIG $$ if they can get these lies locked into laws.

I know. ;)

That is what makes this whole thing fun for me. I’m also a big follower of Tony Heller, Whatsupwiththat, etc. I make a lot of leftist’s heads explode on some forums. :)

Debunking is for naysayers. 😄🙌

Bingo.

These people would like to see vast swaths of humans reduced to ashes to “save the earth” because to them, humans are parasites that need to be eliminated because we use too many resources.

Of course, they think THEY will be the ones not reduced to ashes to save the earth, and will be able to walk in green fields and bright sunshine on top of all of EVERYONE ELSE’S ashes.

They pretty obviously think they will be the “selected” ones not turned to ashes to save Gaia.

For those who cannot digest what TWO different graphs show with the latter one being FORGED to be consistent with their increasing CO2 models:

Notice that in 1979, temperatures were at a relative minimum compared to recent decades. That is the point the gubermint warming scammers START their propaganda graphs.

Also notice the red line is adjust DOWN when CO2 levels were lower than now and to keep the warming crowd fooled, they adjust temperatures UP in recent years to make the dumbest of the dumb believe that temperatures are hotter now than in the past.

Adjusting temperatures to correspond with CO2 levels is how the climate liars fool the public.

If they can lie about temperature data, lying about C-19 is trivial. Lying about HCQ was easy too, it's only been used for 65 years safely and only last year became dangerous.

Climate Change, HCQ and SARS_CoV-1 vs SARS-CoV-2 are just TWO of the many ways the leftists lie to the public. And why shouldn't the leftist lie to the public? Presstitutes according to Dan Bongino are the biggest morons you'll ever meet.

The leftists can tell the presstitutes anything and it will be repeated until hell freezes over: There is NO evidence of erection fraud, NONE! We will ban you if you say there was erection interference.

The list of lies to the public can go on and on.

Fauci knew HCQ+Zn was effective over a decade ago

Clancy used this in Rainbow Six 22 years ago. Only then it was a secret band of a few extremists. Now it’s govts, universities, media operating in the open to, in their words Save the Planet. What they don’t understand is that absent a supernova, wandering neutron star , or collision with a planetary sized object,absent those Earth will do just fine even if we don’t.

What the heck do “climate scientists” know? They study weather patterns over history. Anyone can do that. In fact, if more people did, they would be less likely to buy in to the climate change nonsense.

America could cease to exist and the "allowed" emissions from China and India would still exceed the Paris "limits" for the WORLD.

and IT STILL HAS NO IMPACT ON CLIMATE!!
