In the not-so-distant past, scientists predicted that global temperatures would surge dramatically throughout this century, assuming that humans would rely heavily on fossil fuels for decades. But they are revising their forecasts as they track both signs of progress and unexpected hazards.
Accelerating solar and wind energy adoption means global warming probably will not reach the extremes once feared, climate scientists say. At the same time, recent heat, storms and ecological disasters prove, they say, that climate change impacts could be more severe than predicted even with less warming.
Researchers are increasingly worried about the degree to which even less-than-extreme increases in global temperatures will intensify heat and storms, irreversibly destabilize natural systems and overwhelm even highly developed societies. Extremes considered virtually impossible not long ago are already occurring.
But the latest projections of warming nevertheless show humanity has made progress at reining in some of its planet-warming emissions, scientists said.
“We model the individual impact of hazards, but we don’t model the potential ripple impacts through society,” said Luke Kemp, a research associate at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge in Britain.
And Kemp said it’s also important not to assume the latest global warming forecasts will become reality, and to keep in mind that what seems remote remains possible.

Eventually it will be observed that the energy being extracted by wind-mills and solar collectors used to be doing something different. There is no free lunch.
So, do we have 10.6 years left or not?
They’re a bunch of dope smoking retards. They say when a drunk steals your wallet, he feels bad about it. When an addict steals your wallet, he’ll help you look for it.
These idiots get crazier and crazier to more people say Get Stuffed you fools
Ah yes, I guess that makes “heads we win, tails you lose” official since it’s in the Washington Post-Pravda.
Yeah...we can say “I told ya so.” all day long, but they’ll have succeeded in the redistribution of trillions of dollars, and crested a disaster requiring trillions more to solve.
The windmills are circulating air cooling the planet. A miracle.
Yeah, right?
More hurricanes: Man-made climate change.
Fewer hurricanes: Man-made climate change.
Hotter summers: Man-made climate change.
Cooler summers: Man-made climate change.
More snow in winter: Man-made climate change.
Less snow in winter: Man-made climate change.
You get the picture.

Ice Cream Melts -> Global Waming
Sun Rises - > Global Warming
They are wrong 100% of the time, but they never give up.
I’m so old that I really can’t remember how many end of the world climate doomsday scenarios that I survived. We were all going to turn into popsicles and all of a sudden, we’re going to cook like lobsters.
4 HOUR Video?
Exactly. It has been a race to get enough BS through so when it was found out global warming is not happening they can say “the steps we took slowed the warming so we must do even more”.
There is still rising CO2 but they cannot keep up the lie so they are changing the lie. What a scam.
The worst damage is from moving the goalposts so much.
Their dire predictions of doomsday change every time the weather changes.
Yet, nothing they have done or ever plan to do will actually change the climate — unless they really do implement some of their ridiculous proposals. Those could very likely cause the annihilation of live on the planet.
Yeah. You don’t need to watch it all, though. I sometimes watch (listen to) these as background. The attitudes are interesting, right from the start.
Hey, they saved us from that ice age back in the 70’s, didn’t they?
So, do we have 10.6 years left or not?
