It’s worse than we thought: 15 numbers that show we’re not prepared for climate change
The Boston Globe ^ | March 7, 2022 | By Dharna Noor

Posted on 03/07/2022 8:45:33 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The United Nations’ latest landmark climate report is a tome more than twice the length of the Bible. To compile it, hundreds of scientists from all over the world pored over thousands of studies, summarizing the latest authoritative scientific information.

Here’s a taste of what the report includes:

Percent of the world population currently exposed to potentially deadly heat for 20 or more days a year: 30

Percent that could be exposed to deadly heat for 20 or more days a year by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions continue growing at the present rate: up to 76

Number of people globally who could face chronic water scarcity by 2100 if temperature rise exceeds 2 degrees Celsius: up to 3,000,000,000

Number of people globally who will be at risk of hunger due to climate change if greenhouse emissions continue to grow at the current rate: 80,000,000

Number of people in low-income countries expected to become undernourished if greenhouse emissions grow at the current rate: 183,000,000

Surface area, in square kilometers, of glaciers on Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro in 1912: 12

Surface area of glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro forecast to remain in 2040 if emissions continue at their current rate: 0

Number of people in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia who could be displaced by weather extremes by 2050 if greenhouse gas emissions continue growing at the present rate: 143,000,000

Number of times more people killed by droughts, floods and storms in the world’s poorest coastal countries than the richest nations: 15

Percentage of all land species that will face a high risk of extinction if the world warms by 2 degrees Celsius by 2100: 18

The greenhouse gas theory is the most extreme example of gaslighting the world has ever seen.

The Sun is responsible for the temperature of earth.

I call BS! Look up people freezing to death in August in Germany during the Little Ice Age. Heck, look at people freezing to death in recent winters even during the Modern Warm Period. Shouldn’t we all be concerned? LOL

Climate change has as much to do with protecting the environment as CoupFlu policy has to do with improving public health.

This article just shows that the climate propagandists are ratcheting up the rhetoric and fear claims as they do not have facts or science on their side. If they did then they would be able to make a persuasive argument.

They have raised the prices on cat food, gas, and food and then want to pile climate taxes on top of sales taxes.
