Climate Scientists Spread Panic: ‘Ten Years’ to Save the Earth
Breitbart ^ | April 15, 2017 | by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 04/16/2017 10:34:59 AM PDT by Hojczyk

In the latest in radical climate doomsaying, a new report warns that fossil fuel consumption will need to be reduced “below a quarter of primary energy supply by 2100” to avoid possibly disastrous effects on global temperatures.

In their report, titled “Pathways for balancing CO2 emissions and sinks,” a team of eight scientists warns that “anthropogenic emissions need to peak within the next 10 years, to maintain realistic pathways to meeting the COP21 emissions and warming targets.”

The statement was immediately repackaged by environmentalists to read: “Scientists say we have ten years to save the earth.”

As is always the case in studies of this sort, the scientists juggle dozens of variables, none of which is entirely predictable and which taken together tell us virtually nothing about the future of the environment.

Although the scientists admit that “there are significant uncertainties associated with projecting energy consumption several decades into the future,” they fail to acknowledge a number of even greater uncertainties implicit in their calculations.

Despite their valiant efforts to produce trustworthy projections, the scientists rely on basic presumptions that are contested by extremely capable minds within their own field.

Dr. Duane Thresher, a climate scientist with a Ph.D. from Columbia University and NASA GISS, has stated bluntly that it is “mathematically impossible for climate models to predict climate.”

Appealing to corollaries of the well-known “Butterfly Effect,” Thresher said that long-term climate forecasting is “a quintessential example of this phenomenon” because of the elevated number of variables playing into climate phenomena.

1970 it was 25 years before the next ice age.

The earth got warmer.

Then it was Global Warming, the earth got cooler.

Then it was climate change ...

Earth gets warm = climate change
Earth gets cold = climate change
Rains = climate change
Drought = climate change
Hurricane, tornadoes, volcanoes and earthquakes.. yes all due to climate change.

Man made global climate change is a man made scam.

And anyone that pushes that agenda is a liar.

So, plant more trees: they absorb CO2 and release oxygen. It’s called photosynthesis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropogenic_climate_change

Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment

Anthropogenic biome
Anthropogenic climate change, or global warming
Anthropogenic cloud
Anthropogenic greenhouse gases
Anthropogenic hazards
Anthropogenic metabolism

Fake news. made up word. no such thing as anthropogenic emissions.

I remember back in the day while a young child in school, that we were going to run out of oil in 30 years. We thought all of civilization was going to come crashing to a haul, and we were going to freeze to death. I was scared spitless of growing up.

None of that happened. But when growing up I decided to learn how to survive without luxuries like heat, electricity, and running water knowing that civization survived without all of that.

The sad part is that children are the victims in these lies. They don’t know any better, and thru the education system, they decline to believe anything outside of the system, and even reject parental teaching.

Therefore trying to tell these young ones they are receiving a bunch of bunk, is nearly impossible. These young ones are our future.

What about the coming Ice Age you all were screaming about not to long ago? What happened to that? The it was Global Warming was going to burn us all to death. No it a more generic Climate Change (which of course has been happening since zero day!)that has you all riled up. Its about money isn’t it. Come on, you can tell us!

Remember the other crises?

zero population growth
nuclear holocaust
no place to put our garbage
2000 millennium
run out of food
mega bacteria

So what are the future crisis we will see?

Remember, history is what you have lived in your lifetime. We were fooled as kids so is the current generation.

If the science is settled... why are we still funding research?

Global whining is the single biggest racket in human history. Cut off every last dime to the U.N., then round up every one of these domestic snake oil salesmen and throw the book at them.

On the other hand, perhaps man-made warming will postpone the beginning of Earth's next ice age by ten years?

I live in Seattle, and I conclude every warming debate I have with the same observation:

“12,000 years ago, we would be having this conversation under a half mile of solid ice!”
