Climate change is now critical, says the Climate Commission

"THE atmosphere is warming, the ocean is warming, ice is being lost from glaciers and ice caps, and sea levels are rising."
This is the dramatic conclusion of scientists who say climate change cannot be denied, and carbon offsetting is not enough to stop it.
The findings are included in the first report by the Government's newly created Climate Commission.
It warns people are to blame for rising temperatures, with the last decade the hottest on record.
"The biological world is changing in response to a warming world," The Critical Decade: Climate Science Risks and Responses report says.
"Human activities - the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation - are triggering the changes we are witnessing in the global climate."
The problems are so critical, the report says, Australia must "decarbonise our economy" and move to clean energy sources by 2050, and if steps aren't launched soon, "we will struggle to maintain our present way of life".

Sea-level rise to hit Sydney worst: report
They must have some real gullible goobers down there.
The hell you say...
I would have thought their report would have said, "There is no man-made climate change, everything's fine, let's pack up and go home". /s

How many times has this planet been doomed by these global warming/cooling/climate change kooks? I’ve lost count.
Bull Obama.
There are classes of idiocy...
There’s public school education idiocy.
There’s politician idiocy.
There’s Obama-level idiocy (we’re talkin’ scientific notation here to adequately describe the stupidity.)
And, way at the top, there’s UN, world-level unspeakable idiocy. Truly googol-level stupidity on a level that even Obama cannot reach. That’s the climate change types.
Remember that the ONLY place climate change idiots get their funding is from governments. What the h*ll do you THINK they’re gonna say?
Well, I guess there is no point anymore.....
.....Back to business as usual I say.
PING
This report sounds like it was written by Harold Camping.
“The end of the world is nigh! Repent now with more taxes and communism!”
Imagine this:
You take your child to the local orthodontist and he examines your child's teeth and proclaims, "Hey, they look great. You don't need me."
Trust me when I tell you, that NEVER happens.
Scientists who are handed "grant" money to find "global warming" are NEVER going to say, "Hey, the planet looks great."
Some Flannery quotes
Picture an eight-storey building by a beach, then imagine waves lapping its roof. That's a good story, but at 2.5 mm a year (down from 3mm a year prior to 2003) it will take 1300 years to get to the first storey.
Hurricanes are becoming more frequent in North America. wrong
Polar bears are going to go with the ice cap. Theyre not going to actually last that long. wrong again. The northern polar populations are all doing better except for the overhunting in a few cases. The two southern populations on Hudson Bay are not, but that is easily balanced by having a longer active season further north.
the ongoing drought could leave Sydneys dams dry in just two years That was part of the reason why the dam levels weren't lowered even when it was obvious that they were going into a La Nina rainy period. That exacerbated the recent floods. Idiots like him will get everyone killed.
“Sea levels are rising” - woohoo! I’m buying beachfront property in Idaho.
EVERYONE....start WATCHING the MONEY.....everywhere....even at the secondary school level....watch those grants, budgets, etc.....there is money being spent by FEDS in all sorts of places to push this...OUR MONEY.
I like the cut of your jib. :)
Sure they are. That's why the Maldives Islands, famous for being the first country to disappear beneath the waves, and despite their underwater cabinet, are building new resort hotels.
(PS--the sea level there has not risen.)
The hoax is in “critical” condition because more folks are recognizing it as a hoax.
What the need is for people to quit thinking and asking questions, accept their lies and subscribe to their agenda.
Yup, let's enjoy what little time we have left!
