More than 15,000 scientists around the world have issued a global warning: there needs to be change in order to save Earth.

It comes 25 years after the first notice in 1992 when a mere 1,500 scientists issued a similar warning.

This new cautioning — which gained popularity on Twitter with #ScientistsWarningToHumanity — garnered more than 15,000 signatures.

William Ripple of Oregon State University's College of Forestry, who started the campaign, said that he came across the 1992 warning last February, and noticed that this year happened to mark the 25th anniversary.

Together with his graduate student, Christopher Wolf, he decided to revisit the concerns raised then, and collect global data for different variables to show trends over the past 25 years....

The vast majority of these 'scientist' rely heavily on the continued narrative of oncoming catastrophe to ensure that 'research funds' keep coming in their direction... It's a tried and true method of funding fraud that has been perpetrated by both established and conjured religions for a millennia.... And now by the global/warming climate change movement since it's inception in 2006, when Al Gore conglomerated a bunch of scientific myth and misconception into a 'documentary' film with many falsehoods and misstatements. Fake news that has been bandied about since then by left leaning politicians and 'mainstream' news outlets to champion socialist causes and raise and waste even more taxes on such wrong headed pipe dream ideas such as 'wind power', 'electric cars' and 'solar panels' all of which actually create more pollution than they eliminate.

If you go to the link at the CBC website they are graciously allowing commenting on the above story... (Because it hasn't anything much to do with our exulted leader Just Not Ready, because it doesn't involve indigenous peoples, and because it doesn't involve language issues or immigrants... All of which are banned from commenting on the CBC).

They did 'Disable' my comment above in italics though, probably because the person viewing it was a socialist sycophant who's doing his best to eliminate the deluge of negative commentary toward a cause they surely believe in.... Regardless, some comments due pass through their screening process and the amount pointing out the absurdity of the story appear to be greater than those comments that are favourable.

Gee, I guess this time the science really is settled. :-D

For a bunch of scientists, they really aren’t that smart. :)

How many of those 15,000 scientists depend on government research funding to feed their families.

No signature, no funding.
That's how you build consensus.

So was it 15,000 "scientist's" signatures or 15,000 brainwashed twitterers?

This video is a full hour so maybe save it until the time is right to see a full expose on the GW scam and the money behind it.

They warned us in 1992—we ignored them—and the consequences were devastating—er oops.

Won't someone PLEASE think of the bureaucrats?

The earth warms and it cools in cycles. It always has and always will.

The doomsayer is an expert on cow farts and meat consumption. What I can’t figure is — 200 years ago bison roamed the plains in the millions, or so they say. In any case it is also said that there were more bison than there are cattle today. It must have caused global warming to explode. But didn’t.

How many of these 15,000 “scientists” have ANY background in this area?

+1

How many of them are non-STEM "scientists" ... women's and gender studies "scientists".
