Experts are ignoring the worst possible climate change catastrophic scenarios, including collapse of society or the potential extinction of humans, however unlikely, a group of top scientists claim.
Eleven scientists from around the world are calling on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s authoritative climate science organization, to do a special science report on “catastrophic climate change” to “bring into focus how much is at stake in a worst-case scenario.” In their perspective piece in Monday’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences they raise the idea of human extinction and worldwide societal collapse in the third sentence, calling it “a dangerously underexplored topic.”
The scientists said they aren’t saying that worst is going to happen. They say the trouble is no one knows how likely or unlikely a “climate endgame” is and the world needs those calculations to battle global warming.
Good risk analyses consider both what’s most likely and what’s the worst that could happen, study authors said. But because of push back from non-scientists who reject climate change, mainstream climate science has concentrated on looking at what’s most likely and also disproportionately on low-temperature warming scenarios that come close to international goals, said co-author Tim Lenton.
There is, Lenton said, “not enough emphasis on how things, the risks, the big risks, could go plausibly badly wrong.”

I’ve seen that movie.
Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!
it is only human nature to be skeptical. fool me once and all that.
So far, the only thing that’s gone “badly wrong” is all of the (false) predictions.
Climate activist masquerading as a news reporter for Deep State Media.
Is that the movie Alley Oop starred in?
Such as global communism?
Is that the movie Alley Oop starred in?
There is a remote chance of catastrophe, if we do nothing about climate change.
There is almost 100% chance of catastrophe, if we continue to try to prevent it, using current methods!
“Experts are ignoring the worst possible climate change catastrophic scenarios, including collapse of society or the potential extinction of humans..”
Because it’s all B.S. it’s all about political MANIPULATION.
They’re just saving something for the sequel.
These people want us dead.
The only way to stop them is to make them dead first.

They have cried “wolf” too many times...
In 2022 “science” has become a cult of witch-doctors.
Oh noes. We’re all gonna die
😱😱😱😱
When’s the next ice age??
Dumb stupid imbeciles.
CO2 in the atmosphere was 5,000 ppm during the Cambrian Period (570-500 million years ago). Life thrived.
CO2 in the atmosphere was 1,700 ppm during the Cretaceous Period (140-66 million years ago). Life thrived.
Today it’s about 400 ppm. Life is thriving. In fact, the earth is GREENER (more vegetation growth) than 100 years ago.
All these “I effing love science” types... I always ask them why the founders didn’t just come up with a panel of the best scientists of 1776 and have them direct our nation, our laws, our economy.
Then I ask them to tell me in what year “science” was correct. Pick a year, 1810? 1840? 1890? 1904? 1928? 1948? 1972?
In what year was “science” correct and has not drastically changed since?
Society is already collapsing; and, it isn’t due to the climate.
Wtf? The envirowackos never shut up about it. You cant go a dy without some dire new prediction.
they want us to believe we can live on other planets, but that we are doomed on this one?
