Immediate fossil fuel phaseout could arrest climate change - study

IF you buy that warming is human caused, Then you could conclude that so would wiping out 90% of the human population.

If you think that it would be worth it, start with yourself, please.

[prophetic]

So the oh-so-holy computer models needs 1000 miles margin of error to predict the path of a hurricane within 72 hrs, but they also claim to predict the global temp within 50-100 yrs??

[beethovenfan]

It for sure would arrest the economy.

So what, nobody wants to live in the Stone Age and it’s not happening.

Almost 30% of all oil use is NON-FUEL in nature.

2/3 of all fossil fuel use heats homes. Watch Europe for the next 6 weeks. Even with fossil fuels they are going to have big problems with the severe winter there.

Yeah, I ran that by one of those weenies and just got that deer in the headlights look.

[fuzzylogic]

Nuclear - although we know they’re not suggesting that :)

You are exaggerating a little. It would be the 19th century all over again. Steam locomotive using wood for fuel would mean good by to all of these nice forests...

[antidemoncrat]

The result of most studies: More $tudie$ needed.

How exactly would you power a 900 ft. long container ship with “zero carbon alternatives”?

NS Savannah...

The end game of this evil “Utopian” thinking is no different than fascism and socialist Communism - If we could just kill off the undesirables in society, the world will be saved.

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I would like to own a horse, but I don’t think our landlady would be keen on it.

In this scenario, the models suggest carbon emissions would decline to zero over the next four decades and there would be a 66% chance of the global temperature rise remaining below 1.5C. If the phaseout does not begin until 2030, the chance is 33%...meanwhile, a major storm "loaded with moisture" is headed for Philly next weekend - weatherpeople all over TV are dancing from one foot to another trying to tell us what will happen - if it tracks north of the city we'll get warm temperatures and all rain, but if it comes this way directly we'll get cold air and massive snow - don't change your weekend plans yet - four days out and they're still up in the air - but they can tell us that in fifty years the temperature will rise all over earth by 3.95967 degrees and the oceans will rise by 7.54782216 inches.......

It shows that meeting the internationally agreed aspiration of keeping global warming to less than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels is still possible.

Let me explain.

They knew man-made global warming was a hoax but they thought by now they would have government policies in place to 'combat it'.

The longer no policies are in place the more obvious it is there is no man-made global warming.

In a desperate last move to prevent their lie from being exposed they tell us if we stop using fossil fuels RIGHT NOW there will be no man-made global warming.

In a few more years the scam will be exposed and they have to take action to prove taking action has stopped man-made global warming.

[hal ogen]

I think the anti-scientist losers behind this crapola should be “arrested”. What phony nitwits.

[Theophilus]

"could arrest"... just wait till we roll out our final solution!

[DoughtyOne]

  Exactly right!!!

Will Al Gore go to his climate conferences by horse and buggy or sailing ships and give up his private jet and limousines?

King Henry, soaked in a rain enters a peasant hovel...

H: “Give me fire! Give me Warmth!”

Becket: “You will find no fire here sire. Each hovel is allowed two measures of wood a year. One stick more and they are hanged.”

H: “My edict?”
B: “Your edict sire.”

Keep climate change in check ? Lol. That is funny. Do they have any idea how much energy is required to prevent the return of the ice age ? That is climate change we know is coming. Has been coming and going for over a million years now.
