Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn
BBC ^ | 06 19 2025 | Mark Poynting

The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming.

Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

But countries have continued to burn record amounts of coal, oil and gas and chop down carbon-rich forests - leaving that international goal in peril.

Climate change has already worsened many weather extremes - such as the UK's 40C heat in July 2022 - and has rapidly raised global sea levels, threatening coastal communities.

"Things are all moving in the wrong direction," said lead author Prof Piers Forster, director of the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures at the University of Leeds.

"We're seeing some unprecedented changes and we're also seeing the heating of the Earth and sea-level rise accelerating as well."

Warming equates to seeds germinating sooner and with a higher success rate. Bees will hatch out and be available to pollinate sooner and for a longer duration growing season.

More plant life means more photosynthesis, conversion of CO2 in oxygen that us animals need to prosper.

That means more plant life, which means more FOOD for animals including humans.

Can’t have that since the Margret Sanger death cult has long called for the culling of the human race to a 500M peak.

Now you know the REAL goal of the climate cultists.

Death. Starvation. Suffering.

And of course, these warnings do not apply to India or China, two of the worst offenders concerning CO2 emissions.

I just realized that I have heard any climate propaganda for months. Due to people catching onto this scam and the profiteering by Democrat party insiders. While Zombie Biden was President.

Such as Stacy Abrams led 2 billion dollar giveaway from EPA. Still tied up in courts.

The claim that Stacey Abrams led a “$2 billion giveaway” from the EPA is widely discussed in media and political circles but requires clarification regarding the facts and current legal status.

Background and Facts

Power Forward Communities Grant: In 2024, Power Forward Communities—a coalition of housing nonprofits including Rewiring America, where Stacey Abrams served as senior counsel—received a $2 billion grant from the EPA under the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was created by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Role of Stacey Abrams: Abrams was not a direct recipient of the funds, nor did she personally benefit from the grant. She was senior counsel to Rewiring America, one of the founding organizations of Power Forward Communities, but did not receive any of the federal money.

Controversy and Criticism: The grant drew criticism because Power Forward Communities reported only $100 in revenue in the year prior to receiving the $2 billion award. Critics, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Senator John Kennedy, argued that the organization lacked experience and financial track record, raising concerns about oversight and potential misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Legal and Investigative Status: The grant has been a subject of political and legal scrutiny. The Trump administration sought to revoke the funding, but a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction requiring the EPA to continue disbursing the funds to the eight environmental groups, including Power Forward Communities. The EPA has appealed this ruling, and the funds are reportedly frozen pending further investigation and court decisions.

Current Status

Court Involvement: As of April 2025, the $2 billion grant to Power Forward Communities remains tied up in legal proceedings. The EPA is appealing a federal judge’s order to restart the program, and the Department of Justice and FBI are reportedly investigating aspects of the grant.

Public Perception: Claims that Stacey Abrams “stole” or personally benefited from the $2 billion are false and have been debunked by fact-checkers. The controversy centers on the selection process and oversight of the grant, not on any proven wrongdoing by Abrams.

Recent reports allege that China has commenced a hyper energetic campaign to convert much of its electrical production to nuclear facilities which are being built at an astonishing rate.

The irony is clear, China has cleverly scammed the green obsessed West for decades out of billions, perhaps trillions of dollars, selling us green dream solar panels and windmills. The result for the West, especially Germany, has been to increase CO2 emissions as We go broke.

Now China will be richer and "cleaner."

Tell the sun to cool it. Good luck with that.

Agreed. I’d much rather live during one of the warming periods like the Modern Warm Period, the Medieval Warm Period, Roman Warm Period, or Minoan Warm Period, than struggle to survive during one of the cooling periods in between.

“The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions.”

There is that word again: (Could)

When any scientist, economist, or other “ist” says “could” it means they have no clue what they are talking about. It might happen, it may happen, it could happen is the worst things someone can say to back up their so-called research.

They’re still ‘developing’.

Climate Scientists,could you tell me the exact time and day it will happen? I want to have an ‘Earth Ending Bar-Be-Que and Party’ the day before. I need to know so I can buy out the meats from my local Winn-Dixie.

Nope. They just supplied us with what our dim-witted leadership forced us to have. Building those nuclear plants just shows you that they are not nearly as stupid as our people.
