World has three years left to stop dangerous climate change, warn experts
The Guardian ^ | June 28, 2017 | by Fiona Harvey

Avoiding dangerous levels of climate change is still just about possible, but will require unprecedented effort and coordination from governments, businesses, citizens and scientists in the next three years, a group of prominent experts has warned.

Scientists have been warning that time is fast running out to stave off the worst effects of warming, and some milestones may have slipped out of reach. In the Paris agreement, governments pledged an “aspirational” goal of holding warming to no more than 1.5C, a level which it is hoped will spare most of the world’s lowest-lying islands from inundation.

While the greenhouse gases poured into the atmosphere over the last two centuries have only gradually taken effect, future changes are likely to be faster, scientists fear. Johan Wankerström of the Stockholm Resilience Centre said: “We have been blessed by a remarkably resilient planet over the past 100 years, able to absorb most of our climate abuse. Now we have reached the end of this era, and need to bend the global curve of emissions immediately, to avoid unmanageable outcomes for our modern world.”

I didn’t read past the end of the excerpt. Did they identify the prominent experts, or do we just take their word for it?

Stockholm will not last 3 years,
as the world watches in horror as their
women are raped by, and for, Islamic terrorists.
And they do NOTHING,
They ignore the rapes, and the protected Moslem
Brotherhood, and Islamic terrorists
as they bleat like sheep claiming the sky is burning.

Fools cannot even protect their own women and raped children.

That would be an amazing rise in sea level since the elevations in Beijing vary from 130-200 feet.

If that means the Ctrl-Left will finally stop yapping in three years, I’ll be relieved. More likely, they’ll just give us an extension on the deadline.

I think this will be a repeat of Henny Youngman:
“A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn’t pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.”

In an act of rebellion to Trump’s pulling out of Paris (the bad deal, not Hilton), the sun just pitched a fit.
When notified of the recent sunspot activty, Algore, who was at the Bay of Fundy fine tuning his newly perfected device for controlling those troublesome 50+ foot tides, announced that he and his team of crack scientists led by Bill Nye, will depart sometime Monday to the sun to install his recently developed Sunspot Containment And Management Unit (SCAMU).
Those fans of Algore who might be worried about his safety were reassured to know that he will be going at night!

These alarmist con-men should be arrested for fraud, with sentence commuted for three years. Then, when nothing happens in three years, they can be frog-marched to jail where they belong.

Just in time for it to be an emotional issue in the presidential election?

There’s no point in trying to take any ‘climate change’ action. It is already too late. We have passed the 500 day mark. We are already in climate chaos. Nothing to be done about it now, I’m thinking.

Well, if we’re that close to extinction then we may as well just live it up.

Lord Christopher Monckton, a major denier of GW, was on the local talk radio a couple of days ago talking about a major revelation he and notable climate scientists discovered in the fraudulent calculation of atmospheric CO2 which goes back almost a hundred years but has been utilized to this day.

The study is going into peer review and once completed, he's confident the study is going to knock the GW scaremongers on their asses...........

Here's the audio interview with WJR's Frank Beckmann............

several solutions to warming.

1. Move to northern Canada and greenland and start farms.
2. Remember nuclear winter. Detonate 5 or 6 nukes and bock the suns rays for months.
3. Build more desal plants. Water desert areas and turns them into agriculture belts, drink and use down the rising sea levels.
4. Every person on earth give the united nations a $1,000 a year and they will stop the warming.
