Full title: The world must shift to solar and wind power rapidly to avoid catastrophic global warming, say UN scientists in major report

[Scrambler Bob]

At the levels they want, I suspect that interrupting that much sunshine from impacting the earth, and bleeding off wind currents will actually have a chance of screwing up the earth (at least locally around the installations).

You know what the goo-goos say when it come to economics:
“We’re all going to be dead anyway.”? Well, there it is, Un.

[eclecticEel]

I guess they learned they’re mistake with the “5 year” catastrophism; 15 years should see all the middle-aged doom mongers through to retirement at least.

Is that the catastrophic warming of which we’ve recorded precisely zero degrees of of over the last two decades of global mean temperature monitoring? The same zero degrees of mean warming that has prompted desperate pleas for immediate action to stave off DOOM during every one of those years?

Or is it the catastrophic warning that the IPCC predicts won’t show up on the thermometer?

Perhaps it’s the catastrophic warming that the IPCC claims will cause global sea levels to rise 1.6cm a year over the next century? Despite sea levels rising at 7+cm per year on average since the end of the last glacial maximum, and nearly 3cm a year since the dawn of the industrial revolution. That 1.6cm total predicted MUST be catastrophic, and MUST be anthropogenic, it simply MUST be and if you don’t agree then you’re obviously a horrible evil person guilty of crimes against humanity.

Seriously people, predictive models that fail to predict reality are most likely based on flawed assumptions - one should go back and re-asses those assumptions and craft new models more likely to reflect observed reality. Failure to do so is a hallmark of, fascinatingly enough, both superstition and communism.

The climate science debate has been hijacked by both radical socialists intent on destroying productivity in the advanced world and radical gaia-hypothesis environmentalist whackjobs intent on destroying large numbers of human beings.

If we just paid more in taxes would these guys shut the hell up?

[Halgr]

Climate change is a scam, but the UN needs that as a motive to roll out their Agenda 21. (Which is already being embraced by many planning and zoning commissions)

[blueplum]

I wonder how many degrees in temp change a world full of mirrors would cause?

in 5 years we will have alternate power sources that will make solar farms look neanderthal.

in 15 years we will have even cooler power sources.

These global warming hystericals aren’t very forward-thinking.

Isn’t it too late already??

U.N. OFFICIAL PREDICTS DISASTER SAYS GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD WIPE SOME NATIONS OFF MAP - entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of “eco-refugees,” threatening political chaos, said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect - Associated Press June 30, 1989

Environmental refugees to top 50 million in 5 years —”There are well-founded fears that the number of people fleeing untenable environmental conditions may grow exponentially as the world experiences the effects of climate change and other phenomena,” says UNU-EHS Director Janos Bogardi. - United Nations University news release - October 11, 2005

Global Warming is good

People live naturally in warmer climate.

Higher levels of sea can be and are already being diverted into the deserts and turning them into arable land.

[MarMema]

And destroy all cattle ranches because of their methane production.

[jdege]

For us to shut down so much that we could powerthe rest on solar andwind would be a disaster of a scope thawt would dwarf any purported effects of global warming.

Berlin makes people excitable and power crazy.

[jospehm20]

Were the UN scientists able to keep a straight face when they said it?

[Starstruck]

I have this great idea on how to tap the power of Unicorns blowing Skittles out their a$$.

[greeneyes]

Baloney! More likely we must do it because the dingbats have tied up a bunch of money investing in it, and they want to make gazillions of bucks off the “little people”

[MaxMax]

Start in your own countries with your own money first, then get back to us.
Meanwhile, we'll keep our freedom and our Guns, the guns that keep you tyrants
from turning America into your kind of cesspool.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“UN scientist” is code for blithering idiot, commie junk scientists.

[Little Pig]

"And the transformation needs to be made in the next 15 years or controlling climate change will become increasingly harder and more expensive it will become obvious even to the peasants that we've been talking out our asses and that these measures were never necessary. There, fixed it.
