Climate change: ‘Clear and unequivocal’ emergency, say scientists.
A global group of around 11,000 scientists have endorsed research that says the world is facing a climate emergency.

Yep there’s a climate emergency alright. Greta Thunturd at 28 (by then hopefully a broken woman, despised by even more millions) and Occasional Cortex (10 years is her propaganda time line) will have to think up another ‘climatological disaster’ in the making. Maybe they’ll push for 2050, so that the chances of the present smarter older and wiser are dead and gone by then. At least Soros will be rotting in maggots.

The ultra-rich socialists presently riding the increasingly profitable GW gravy train hopefully won’t’ve completely destroyed the middle class by 2029-2031, esp in America and western Europe.

Yep. Anything the BBC’s Mad Matt McGrath says just has to be 100% correct just like CNN, Oz ABC and MSNBC. Same with Pope Gore (has he made that $2 billion he vowed to gain from his initial $2 million capital investment in the GW racket yet?)

- More money for poorer countries
- Greater transparency, so richer countries can check what the rest are doing.
- Greater ambition – quicker, deeper cuts in emissions now from the richer countries.
Geez yes pilots are real dumb! I have no idea who those 11,000 scientists are. Are they they part of the oft quoted um...97% the Green whackos keep blabbering on about? I wouldn’t know. Pilots are incapable in the pragmatic use of the Scientific method for research and investigation so therefore can’t separate hard fact from ‘popular media’ emotional BS with its underlying ulterior motives.

Dr Carl Sagan (RIP) a scientist I deeply respected, was the firstest ever to ask scientifically in the mid-1970s if it’s possible the discharge of the then global waste gases could affect global climate, must really really hate what his initial enquiry has led to.

But who cares? Why bandy it back and forth since we’re all dead in 18 months! =))

11,000 what? Define “scientist”. Climatologists or research chemists in big pharma? This is the view of one “scientist” (no, I can’t verify if he’s a scientist or, if he is, what branch of science)

“I must admit that I have to express extreme skepticism that 11,000 scientists would agree on anything. As a scientist all my life that most difficult I have found about the profession is to get scientists to agree on anything. I seriously doubt that the majority of these scientists have carefully evaluated the literature on climate change and made an opinion based on this. I suspect the reality is that most signed because they were asked to do so by a colleague and didn't even think about what they were doing. Another reason that may have prompted them to sign is the fear of missing out on the climate change research funds. Getting funds for research is very competitive and there are huge amounts of funds being distributed for climate-change research every year”

There is no climate emergency.
Precisely nothing is going to happen.
The planet is alleged to have warmed by between 0.6 and 0.8 OF ONE DEGREE CELSIUS in the last 100 years!
I'm sure it has, but so what? Humans have survived and thrived, even when primitives, through much bigger fluctuations that this.

WE WILL ADAPT.

The planets temp does not remain the same! It never has. We don't control it, and we cannot keep it exactly at the temp it is.

Whether or not the small increase is due to us, or natural is of no consequence. It's happened, and we've coped with it. It's no big deal.

This planet changes, we can cope with the changes. Yes, there will be a few changes, some flooding of low lieing areas, some low elevations islands disappearing- so what?
It's all happened before without any input from us.

This giant knicker moistening has grown arms and legs of its own, and never has a bandwagon been more piled on.

There are better causes for the worlds worriers to worry about, and there's no emergency.

As for that Greta...get your ass back in school where it belongs, and STFU, is my advice. Hysterical idiot.

Scientists’ petition on climate crisis blocked over fake signatories

Dozens of signatories including Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore from Hogwarts have been ­removed from an Alliance of World Scientists declaration of a “climate emergency”.



11,000 scientists huh? =)) =))

Seriously though I’d sooner listen to Mickey Mouse’s take on GW than 10,998 ‘reputed scientists’. After all he’s on Disney’s payroll not the IPCC’s nor the Green whackory.

Hey, I'm a retired physics teacher, and an (unrequested) advisor to several county councils (the second word being "off" in all cases).
That apparently also makes me eligible to have signed that petition.

I choose to support Atomkraft's comments.

My experience is that's where the easy money is if you get the right gig. Thriving off of GW takes a bit of artistry and a good line of BS to convince the masses they're in a non-existent crisis, then take their money.

As a native of Michigan I would be quite pleased with a 5 degree C rise in average temperatures, especially this time of year. We could even grow citrus for our farmers markets!

I would have thought by now that 'Climate Change/Global Warming' would have run its course, given that the average bloke my age goes outside and sees that his local climate hasn't changed over his lifetime.

Then there is the fact that vegetation thrives on CO2 and exhales the O2 that we thrive on. Win-win.

Finally, it's what the Sun, not man, does that most impacts our climate and so far mankind has not been able to have any impact on the operation of the Sun, thankfully.

Yeabut, meteorologists understand that the weather is driven by the effects of heat on the atmosphere. An increase in heat does not make for balmy winters in Michigan, quite the contrary as more heat means weather will be more active and violent.

Been wondering that myself, there are one or two on Australia that I,for one, don't know what part of the country they reside. It looks terrifying.

Yeh !! I's fine, thanks muchly. Wasn't so long ago that I lived in an area that would have been quite scary, with tens of kms of bush in every direction. Once that got going there would be no stopping of it. When the forests are of eucalyptus and similar oil bearing trees then even the floor litter is like tinder. It doesn't just smoulder it goes "woosh" with high flames. A slightly more domesticated area now, but still close.

Along the east coast of Australia there are huge areas of untouched bush designated as national parks. Areas never trodden by human foot. I live close to one such area - Jervis Bay, where there are beaches of soft white sand where walking you might not see a single human footprint that's not your own. Areas completely surrounded by "National Park", where once you drive in there is just the one road out. Very easy to get cut off if road blocked by fire.

Alisoncc, it is worth keeping in mind the issue of human intervention on national parks. You don't touch them and they are beautiful until a fire starts and then the destruction is huge or you create safety zones people complain, and not 100% without reason, probably nothing happens and nobody can claim credit for the effective management of the park.

I hope it makes sense.

Precisely what happens here, RiS. There are vast tracts of land earmarked as "National Park" which was essentially "crown land". ie: belonged to no one. None of it is ever "managed" in any way. It's just virgin bush.

Interesting how the Green whackos aren’t out in droves Dunnunda protesting about the bushfires and all that CO2 and smoke being released into the atmosphere and in so doing hastening the world’s 18 month demise. Must be because it isn’t Man-made and therefore no money can be wrenched from the Unwashed over it.

Anyway it’s good to note there are some intelligent Australians left who won’t be STF’dU by the lying Australian ***** Channel:

Bush fires have their own CO2 correction mechanism - they emit a lot of smoke particles which block sunlight and result in a cooling effect. Clean ICE vehicles only emit the CO2 with no particles.
