Yeah...that was my reaction too. When did this narrative change?

That said, the good news is - now we can measure them against the next 5 years...so when temps haven’t done anything alarming we can declare all of them to be nothing but hysterical and ignore everything else they say.

Plants use the co2. More c02, more plant growth. These experts (not) couldn’t change temperature if they tried - maybe their hot headed idiotic ideas they could.

Warming oceans are releasing their captured CO2. There is nothing we can do to stop the ocean warming until the inevitable change that launches a new glacial period. If warming is bad, what will we do to stop North America from being covered again with 2 miles thick ice?

"I think people are already quite concerned about climate change

There's a sucker born every minute.

awe're getting closer to this first threshold that was set in the Paris agreement

That was based on nothing.

And we need to continue doing everything we can to cut the use of fossil fuels

At what cost and to what end?

The natural state of the universe is very (very) cold … in many ways we should celebrate the warmth.

UK Met Office researchers say that there's now around a fifty-fifty chance that the world will warm by more than 1.5C over the next five years

I'll bet a nickel against St. Edward's Crown that it won't. I'll even make it a 1942-S war nickel. Check with the Palace. Do we have a deal?

50-50 is when you are totally incapable of predicting squat. Their models are total garbage. Every dam** one of them is tweaked after assembly in order to match what they want. That => crap modelling skills.
What they claim is beyond the science of today. To insist on changes on that basis is lunacy.

Good.

The fundamentals for plant growth are: Soil, Water and Air.

Cold temperatures result in low precipitation and arid conditions, so we need more heat and higher temperatures.

Unlike animals plants need CO2 to breath, and we are currently near the threshold for a collapse in agricultural yield due to low CO2, leading to famine. We need more CO2.

So the ‘green’ nutcases of the world are actually destroying the earth and bringing in famine. How do you fight self destructive mass psychoses?

CO2 makes up .03% of the atmosphere. Plants will be happier if it increases amd so will we since plants crate O2 via photosynthesis… Earth Science 101.

Send us a bunch more $$$ and the guessed at odds will increase to about 50/50%. Such a deal!

Yup, we still have glaciers and cold temperatures in 2022 despite the propaganda the lying liars have been force feedings us.

Climate change and Covid are the biggest scams ever perpetrated against humanity.
