Earth surpasses critical 2-degree warming threshold, European climate officials say

For the first time since record keeping began, Earth has surpassed a critical temperature threshold that scientists have long warned could unleash the worst effects of climate change.

On Friday the planet soared 2.07 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, or the 1850 to 1900 average, according to Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.

Not all hope is lost, however. The Fifth National Climate Change Assessment, released last week by the White House, underscored that every fraction of a degree of warming added or averted will make a difference.

And they get paid handsomely to do it. Nice, cars, nice houses, nice areas to live etc. Fine wine and caviar

No wonder it was a dark and stormy night in Northern Israel yesterday. It must have been global warming!/sarc

There is!   There is!

"The Earth’s atmosphere contains 0.04% carbon dioxide.

Man is responsible for 3.4% of that 0.04%

The total amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is therefore 0.0014%.

Completely eliminate man’s contribution and the Earth’s atmosphere still contains 0.04% CO2.

I wouldn't want to depend on man's contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide to help the Earth replenish all of that coal that's been extracted since the start of the Industrial Age.

So we are “past the point of no return” according to the hysterics we’ve been hearing. So party time!!!

Remember, folks. We need to start calling global warming what it is - a conspiracy theory. The left controls our language, and it’s time for us to start taking it back. Everything normal americans believe is called a ‘conspiracy theory’ which immediately ‘debunks’ anything we say. So let’s start calling their nutty stuff conspiracy theories too, because that’s what they are.

The left always accuses the right of what they themselvers are doing, just like the Russia hoax.

I’ve been leaving the AC on with the windows open and it doesn’t seem to make a difference

That is what normally happens at the end of an ice age.

Do these Maoist punks care that that little piece of real estate called “Central Park” (in New York) was,only a few thousand years ago,enveloped in a glacier almost a mile deep?

Yes it’s true.

The planet is still crawling out of the last ice age and the race of Man has a blistering .000000000001% impact adding to that even though it lasts maybe a week.

Drilling for oil extracts the heat. Once you stop drilling for oil, what did you think would happen?
Drill, baby, Drill!

[SaxxonWoods]

Exceeded the threshold??!

You knew it would.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Awesome! Let’s go for 5!

[M Kehoe]

Yo!

European climate officials.! (Whatever that is)

G-d has this universe thing down pat.

Go worry about the war in your backyard.

“Completely eliminate man’s contribution and the Earth’s atmosphere still contains 0.04% CO2.”

Yes, and then it really gets good. There is no causal correlation between CO2 amounts in the atmosphere and Global temperature. We’ve been much colder at times of much higher CO2.
