‘Code red’: UN scientists warn of worsening global warming
The Associated Press ^ | August 9, 2021 | By SETH BORENSTEIN (D-AP)

Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday that the United Nations called a “code red for humanity.”

“It’s just guaranteed that it’s going to get worse,” said report co-author Linda Mearns, a senior climate scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.”

But scientists also eased back a bit on the likelihood of the absolute worst climate catastrophes.

The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and “unequivocal” and “an established fact,” makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than it did last time it was issued in 2013.

While calling the report “a code red for humanity,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres kept a sliver of hope that world leaders could still somehow prevent 1.5 degrees of warming, which he said is “perilously close.”

As the planet warms, places will get hit more not just by extreme weather but by multiple climate disasters at once, the report said. That’s like what’s now happening in the Western U.S., where heat waves, drought and wildfires compound the damage, Mearns said. Extreme heat is also driving massive fires in Greece and Turkey.

Some harm from climate change — dwindling ice sheets, rising sea levels and changes in the oceans as they lose oxygen and become more acidic — is “irreversible for centuries to millennia,” the report said.

The world is “locked in” to 15 to 30 centimeters (6 to 12 inches) of sea level rise by mid-century, said report co-author Bob Kopp of Rutgers University.

I am offering Obozo one dollar for his property severely threatened by rising ocean levels.

If he won’t take the offer then we know this climate change stuff is a total fraud.

“...in ten years...”
2 years ago AOC said “...in twelve years...”
So, things seem to be on schedule.

Dear God, I’m good anytime now. It’s quite obvious man is not going to address the evil on this planet head on. Reboot away.

With no solution.

My boss used to tell me, “do not bring me problems, bring me solutions!”

The only thing collapsing and needs a reset is the Babylonia system. Wipe out six billion people? I think Jesus has a plan for all of it.

In that whole story, the word 'China' does not appear once. Given that they are, by far, the worst culprits at carbon dioxide emissions, you would think it would have come up.

It's just strikes me as funny.

Not to worry. It’ll get cooler toward the end of the year. Then, we’ll be heading for another ice age. Until the next summer. Never-ending absurdity.

75% of all atmospheric CO2 comes from nature...........

CO2 does not gather in the atmosphere, it cycles thru like the waters in a dam: water in equals water out...........
