Jim Skea, the new head of the UN's IPCC climate panel, said it was not helpful to imply that temperature increases of 1.5 degrees Celsius posed an existential threat to humanity.
"If you constantly communicate the message that we are all doomed to extinction, then that paralyzes people and prevents them from taking the necessary steps to get a grip on climate change," he said.
"The world won't end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees," Skea told Der Spiegel. "It will however be a more dangerous world."
Surpassing that mark would lead to many problems and social tensions, he said, but still that would not constitute an existential threat to humanity.
Skea predicted that one difficult area might prove to be changing people's lifestyles. He said that no scientist could tell people how to live or what to eat.
"Individual abstinence is good, but it alone will not bring about the change to the extent it will be necessary," Skea said. "If we are to live more climate consciously, we need entirely new infrastructure. People will not get on bikes if there are no cycle paths."
He said he also hoped to make progress during his tenure on how and where money was sent and spent to tackle the problem globally.
"There's enough money in the world, the challenge is getting it to flow to the right places," he said.

So, it must have paradise during the Ice Ages, eh?
Idjits. All of them.
Idiocracy....the new normal
Wanna bet?
From the article: get a grip.
The bartender disagrees. Science.
So, now they don’t only predict the climate, they can predict human behavior decades in advance.
Skea predicted that one difficult area might prove to be changing people's lifestyles
But they want to change our lifestyles today and against our will.
I predict that there is going to mass murder. Those that are first to be dead will be everyone pushing world communism through climate change. If I live to see the day I’ll be routing it one.
ixney on the ooms day.
“There’s enough money in the world, the challenge is getting it to flow to the right places,” he said...
Like his pockets.
Cow. Deer. Ewe.

Get real. If the temp increased 20 degrees in Colorado it just means growing bananas in Colorado.
“The world won’t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees,” Skea told Der Spiegel. “It will however be a more dangerous world.”
…but then… DACA made this a more dangerous world as well… so what’s the point?
The IPCC has a problem on its hands with the 1.5 C number. The number’s starting point is intentionally vague, but it generally includes most, if not all of the warming since the end of the Little Ice Age. This means that it will soon be exceeded, and by many accounts it already has been exceeded.
It must be noted that no catastrophe has been experienced by the general population, nor is any likely. There have been a few heat waves, and they have been endlessly hyped by the alphabet press corps, but, how are YOU doing. Few, if any, records have exceeded the numbers from the Depression Era Dust Bowl days nearly a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936_North_American_heat_wave
It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s not the end of the world. The IPCC is lying to you. What else is new?
So now it’s 1.5 deg C when a few years ago it was 0.5 Deg C ... kinda like the Greeniacs saying we’re entering an Ice Age a few years ago to boiling oceans now.
Tonga volcano caused the current heatwave, but don’t tell the MSM.

“He said that no scientist could tell people how to live or what to eat.”
They could and they will—sociopaths rule and everybody else drools.
Yeah, Greta is pissed now and so is Horse Face Kerry. This completely screws up their narrative.
