By golly, it's a temperature insurrection! (may as well get two buzzwords in there ...)
It’s May 10th, and there’s still ice on my lake. Let’s calm down the “climate emergency” bullshit, can we?
We could really use a 1.5 degree increase about now.
Prediction in 1970: Most species on the Earth will perish by 1995
Back in 1970, around the time of the first Earth Day, Democrat Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote an article for Look Magazine. In it, he repeated one of the most preposterous claims in the whole climate change/pollution movement: “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”
Prediction in 1988: The Earth will warm by 3 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2025-2050
Back in 1988, as the global warming “consensus” began to grow, New York Times environmentalism reporter Philip Shabecoff wrote a piece of alarmism based on the work of the lying propagandist James Hansen, fresh from his congressional testimony.
Prediction in 1989: If global warming isn't reversed by the year 2000, it will be too late to avert catastrophe
over 32 years ago this was the 1989 prediction by Noel Brown, an environmentalist apparatchik at the U.N. — that global body that has brought us so much rubbish when it comes to failed global warming predictions.
Prediction in 2000: Great Britain will be almost snow-less thanks to global warming
22 years ago, climate scientist David Viner had a very dire prediction for those living in England: Snow was going to become almost extinct there.
In a viral interview with the U.K. Independent, Viner said that snow on the isles was going to be “a very rare and exciting event.”
Prediction in 2001: Snow is going to be a thing of the past in other places, too
It wasn't just the United Kingdom. A 2001 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that “(m)ilder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms” but increase the number of ice
Prediction in 2006: Everything in the Goracle’s mocumentary movie “An Inconvenient Truth” has failed to happen. Fail.
Yes, the movie that popularized the “hockey stick” graph regarding carbon emissions turns 12 this year, and it's not exactly looking too prescient, as Michael Bastasch noted two years ago in The Daily Caller.
“One of the first glaring claims Gore makes is about Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. He claims Africa's tallest peak will be snow-free ‘within the decade,’” Bastasch wrote. “Gore shows slides of Kilimanjaro's peak in the 1970s versus today to conclude the snow is disappearing.
“Well, it's been a decade and, yes, there's still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round. It doesn't take a scientist to figure this out. One can just look at recent photos posted on the travel.
“Gore also claims temperature rise from increases in man-made carbon dioxide emissions were ‘uninterrupted and intensifying,’” Bastasch wrote. “He goes on to claim heatwaves will become more common, like the one that killed 35,000 people across Europe in 2003.”
“Sounds terrifying — until you actually look at what happened to global temperature after Gore's film was released. Global temperatures showed little to no warming trend after Gore released his film. In fact, surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s.”
Then there was Gore's prediction that storms would increase due to climate change; even the IPCC says that there's “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.” Or you can look at polar ice, of which he said: “within the next 50 to 70 years, it could be completely gone.” (He later said the ice would be gone by 2013, which was even more ridiculous.) Scientists have said that's simply not going to happen.
Prediction in 2008: We'll be living in Antarctica pretty soon
14 years ago, a group called Forum for the Future predicted that we would be living in a world so dire that we would actually have to move to Antarctica as “climate refugees.” The 2008 study produced what the U.K. Telegraph very charitably called “a radical set of ‘possible futures,’” among them that the first climate refugees would begin flooding our planet's icy, southernmost when temperatures made everywhere else too hot to live.
Prediction in 2009: We only have 50 days to save the world from global warming
During the negotiations for the Copenhagen agreement in 2009, former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown predicted that if they didn't solve the “impasse” they found themselves in within 50 days, the world was pretty much doomed.
Ropes and trees.
There’s a 50/50 chance that sun activity will cause warming. There is no chance that human activity will cause warming.
There’s a 100% chance that the BBC will continue babbling about climate change on a daily basis.
There’s a 0% chance that it will include complaints about China opening coal or natural fired power plants.
The weatherman was blathering on last night about record highs in NW Arkansas this week. Not all the data is posted but so far, I don’t see it. What I do see is the heat island that NW Arkansas is becoming with all the development. The place is like a cancer. Tulsa used to be the only local extension of the NE having come down the I-44 corridor. Now, NWA is the plague of the NE since Sam died and the waddlemart brass required their vendors to have a corporate presence in NWA. Why? Selling their property and exploding the area has one thing to do with it.

It is just weather.
Voodoo science.
50/50 chance my dog (who identifies as a woman named Delores) wins a senate seat in November.
Bookmarked for five years from now.
OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS???
Ever. I’m sure the report says “ever.”
How the phook can they even attempt to push this shiite again as knowledge/science/certainty?
Don’t they have any sense of embarrassment or shame?
Maybe I’ll believe them when their predictions come true. Algore said we’d all be dead 10 years ago.
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?
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?
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.
Noooooooooo!!!!!!
