World's climate warming faster than feared, scientists say

Foot of snow and -15F forecast along I-70 latitude for next week.

Perhaps these geniuses would like to stop by to observe and plow out my driveway?

More Bull Excrement, Just have to keep that grant money flowing in.

Scientists say the world’s climate is warming faster than feared because previous predictions were too “optimistic”

Like the ones now hilariously incorrect?

[SIRTRIS]

>>>The team of scientists said the findings show some climate models have been too “optimistic” and previous estimates of a minimum temperature rise of only 2.7F (1.5C) could now be discounted. The optimistic models did not properly assess the impact of water evaporation, which sometimes rises only a short distance into the atmosphere and causes updraughts that reduce cloud cover, the study found. I wonder what more was not taken into account in this model? From the effects of the known to the effects of the unknown & their relationships

[Hoodat]

I wonder what became of those polar bears these wackos released in Antarctica in order to save the species from extinction. Once they become established, there won’t be any more penguins. Or leopard seals for that matter.

Hey- It`s 10 below zero here and gonna be 25 below tonight- It`s been overcast here for 2 months-
Sorrry-
‘Oh these are scientists studying the weather on...

VENUS.

[ThunderSleeps]

Yeah, guess they didn’t notice Colorado ski resorts all opened early this year. Not quite record setting early (?) but even the ones that don’t make snow and rely on mother nature opened early.

These hacks are the enviro-whackos.

[GraceG]

”The net effect of [climate change] is you have less cloud cover.”

LOL

I thought they were saying the hotter it gets the more water evaporation we have thus more clouds thus their ice breaker gets stuck...

Climate Change, the more the weather changes the more they can claim they were right all along...

[henkster]

Exactly; we had a cool summer, cold fall, and frigid winter. Sure, I know weather is not climate. But this winter is brutal and I knew it would be. Can we say “sunspots” class? So even though weather is not climate, if the climate is getting so much hotter, we should not be having this winter. Nor should the Russkie ship be trapped in SUMMER Antarctic ice that’s not supposed to be there anymore.

[AppyPappy]

100M people under a Winter Storm alert so it’s not a good time for a Global Warming scare.

[pgkdan]

What unbelievable chutzpah! These fellows have absolutely no shame.

[SZonian]

True, I was referring to the smelly ones who chain themselves to trees, get the EPA to enact insane and oppressive rules and get vast swaths of land closed to the public...

I guess these are the smelly ones but who finished college and wear smocks to lend credibility to their idiocy...similar to the godless communists who now infest the halls of government in suits.

[EagleUSA]

** MORE SCAM **

[FroggyTheGremlim]

It's supposed to be -7 here in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Not "wind chill" but actual temperature.

Global Warming my a$$!

[elpadre]

In Antarctic a cruise ship this past week - “... got stuck in unusually thick ice.”

and it’s summer time down there - think about how thick the ice will be when winter comes.

can we say “ice age??”

[SkyDancer]

[SZonian]

Matter can neither be destroyed or created.

So if we’re having less cloud cover, that means less water is being vaporized, which should mean that there is less heat, no?

What am I missing here?

[PowderMonkey]

"There is fear alright, fear by scientists that the global warming hoax is coming to an end, and with it their government grants."

Smell the fear. Government grants obtained by fraud, and bilking investors through "carbon credits." The main concern for many will be jail time for criminal fraud convictions. Accordingly, they have no choice but to double down on stupid. Repeat the lie, make it bigger, and hope it sticks.

[tbpiper]

Yeah, tell THAT to the idiots currently stuck in THE ICE in Antarctica.

Might want to point out to them that it is SUMMER in the Antarctic as well.
