Two degrees no longer seen as global warming guardrail
Phys.Org ^ | April 2, 2018 | by Marlowe Hood

Limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius will not prevent destructive and deadly climate impacts, as once hoped, dozens of experts concluded in a score of scientific studies released Monday.

A world that heats up by 2C - long regarded as the temperature ceiling for a climate-safe planet - could see mass displacement due to rising seas, a drop in per capita income, regional shortages of food and fresh water, and the loss of animal and plant species at an accelerated speed.

Poor and emerging countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America will get hit hardest, according to the studies.

Saturday it was 61 degrees and Sunny.
Sunday it was snowing and below freezing.
Today, still freezing.

Considering we are at the beginning of SPRING, Is the temperature going up or down ?

When the dinosaurs were running around, life was fine, and there was NO ice at the poles.
It was an estimated 10°F-15°F warmer than today.

I think it’s time for all global warming “activists” to go in to a blind panic and run in to traffic on the nearest busy highway...

I thought they were letting us off cheap:

“Rich countries must provide 100 billion from 2020 as a floor”

But then they followed with

“Amount to be updated by 2025.”

I’m watching an episode of “How The Earth Works” on the Science Channel.

They’re explaing how scientists are predicting another ‘Ice Age’ in 1500 years or so.

Apparently science is whatever they say it is, whenever they say it.

I guess it's harder to move a grass hut a few yards inland than a 40-story skyscraper. Of course, it's all BS anyway.

“....Poor and emerging countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America will get hit hardest, according to the studies.....”

OH, the horror of it all...it’s TERRiBLE...We’re all gonna die!!!!!
The great Satan, America, is at fault for this. Yes, they need to send us mo money to compensate for this horror. /S

It’s all about the money. I’ve got a “study” for these brain-dead morons, snowflakes, lib twerps, & other idiots...and it also shows them lined up in body bags.

Most of the good geoscientists will explain that within a couple thousand years there will be another ice age.

All data, regardless of the numbers, prove that global climate change is a growing catastrophe. Both heavy snow and the absence of snow are supporting evidence. Both warmer temperatures and cooler temperatures are also supporting evidence. Even more hurricanes (the graphic on Nobel Prize winner Al Gore's video) and fewer such storms are proof that the world is about to end. Of course they have to move the goal posts on temperature change too.

This whole story is about the need for "emergency powers" for all leftist governments, not about science or reality.

Long regarded by whom?

Leftist activists posing as scientists?

Of course, in the telling of the strangely uncurious AFP 'journalist' Marlowe Hood, it seems that the length of time during which such leftist activists have been making a claim, for which there is no discernible scientific evidence, is the gold standard for deciding whether it is 'good science'.

We are currently going into the lowest solar minimum since the Dalton Minimum of the early 1800's.

During the Little Ice Age, during the earlier Maunder Minimum, the Hudson River froze so solidly that, during the Revolutionary War, the US side was able to roll cannons across. If a similar patter holds, then within the next 5 years, it will become impossible to hide that "Global Warming" is NOT happening.

The inescapable logic of this scam is that we must eliminate about 90% of the people currently living on earth. The ones who pick the 10% are guaranteed to not include themselves in the 90%.
