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 worlds 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.

Amazingly, as always, coinciding with a republican president and an election date.
This seems really obvious, but perhaps I’m missing the bigger picture.
I truly don’t know how anyone with an ounce of skepticism can’t look at this and realize AGW is the literal global takeover of our lives.
If you are skeptical, you’re labeled a “denier” and are deluged with hate from the left.
If you don’t get “on board” you are responsible for killing the earth, your kids and grandkids, “assuming they breath air”.
How many countries and townships across the world fine you for not recycling? How many will subject you to jail time? I’m sure there are some.
It seems so obvious to me - how do you control the world population? Vilify all those who don’t get in line by announcing they are killing everyone and everything around them because they drive an SUV.
yup
I always wanted a chance to use the word Balderdash!
20 years ago I heard that we had only 10 years.
No wonder Guam’s getting ready to tip over.
Ut O!
Now, it is getting serious. Down to 3 years.
3 YEARS!!!!
Quick!!! Throw money at it!!!!!

“Johan Wankerström “
Johan, you sure are a wanker. You, scientists, and governments can’t do squat to control the planet’s climate.
Wanker.

Once stupid, always stupid. Guess he sees himself as a god.
According to Al Gore, the Father of the Internet, it should’ve already happened. These morons can’t get their story straight because it’s a total scam.
I saw an episode of All in the Family recently where Meat-head was screaming at Archie Bunker, “Did you know that the earth will be completely uninhabitable in the next 20 years?!” That was a common lie being spouted back then, which was early 1970s. We should’ve all been dead 25 years ago.
And how much of the United States budget will be needed to stave off these effects?
Pu-leeeze! If this were Joe Smith selling tin foil hats on the street to keep the aliens away, or to protect us from the meteors raining down on us, the authorities would be carting poor Joe off to a rubber room!
Tagline.
One day it’s the GCC people crying doom. The next it’s the Apocalyptos screaming the end is nigh.
The next it’s the shrinks demanding more $ because of the mental illness “epidemic”.
I think that the pseudo-scientific community of climate charlatans had seen the success the shrinks and apocalyptos have had getting rich selling snake oil to the rubes and want their share.
I’m not worried cause that genius governor said we kill 93 million Americans every day with guns which means I’ll be dead by Saturday at the latest.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Expert = nitwit or idiot
.
Anyone that has spent 10-20 hours on transcontinental flights knows how incredibly large the Earth is in comparison to its puny population.
If our population were to increase tenfold, we still could not affect the climate in any way.
Think for a change.
