Deny climate change? Off to the gulag for you!

More heat = skimpier bikinis = more boobies. I'm beginning to see the method to the madness. This might not be such a bad thing afterall. Go pollution! Go carbon emissions! Go rampant industrial production! Burn down the forests! Eliminate regulations! Go boobies!

Too bad there is no method behind your madness. Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't count.

Spot on. The list below (just since the 1960s) literally reads like a comic book strip. I simply provide this to any Climate Change zealot and say "you want me to practice this religion?? It sure as hell isn't science."

Following is a list of JUST SOME of their predictions/scares by year/decade:

1960s: Oil Reserves will be deleted in ten years
1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’
1969: ‘Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989.’ (NY Times)
1970s: We were facing a pending ice age that would kill hundreds of millions
1970: ‘America subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.’ (Washington Post)
1974: ‘New Ice Age Coming Fast’ (NOAA)
1974: ‘Another Ice Age?’ (TIME)
1974: Ozone Depletion a ‘Great Peril to Life’
1978: ‘No End in Sight’ to 30-Year Cooling Trend
1980s: Acid rain will destroy all crops in ten years
1980: ‘Acid Rain Kills Life in Lakes’
1988: James Hansen forecasts increase regional drought in 1990s
1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years
1989: Rising seas to ‘obliterate’ nations by 2000
1989: New York City’s West Side Highway underwater by 2019
1990s: The ozone layer will be destroyed in ten years
2000s: The ice caps will all be gone in 10 years
2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is.’
2004: Britain to have Siberian climate by 2020
2008: Arctic will be ice-free by 2018
2008: Al Gore warns of ice-free Arctic by 2013
2009: Prince Charles says only 8 years to save the planet
2009: UK prime minister says 50 days to ‘save the planet from catastrophe’
2013: Arctic ice-free by 2015
2013: Arctic ice-free by 2016 (US Navy)
2014: Only 500 days before ‘climate chaos’

They can't even predict if it is hot or cold that's gonna kill us all.

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

PETER JAMES SPIELMANNJune 30, 1989 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.

″Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara?″ he said.

UNEP estimates it would cost the United States at least $100 billion to protect its east coast alone.

Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands, while the Soviet Union could reap bumper crops if it adapts its agriculture in time, according to a study by UNEP and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

Excess carbon dioxide is pouring into the atmosphere because of humanity’s use of fossil fuels and burning of rain forests, the study says. The atmosphere is retaining more heat than it radiates, much like a greenhouse.
The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.

The difference may seem slight, he said, but the planet is only 9 degrees warmer now than during the 8,000-year Ice Age that ended 10,000 years ago.

Brown said if the warming trend continues, ″the question is will we be able to reverse the process in time? We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.″
He said even the most conservative scientists ″already tell us there’s nothing we can do now to stop a ... change″ of about 3 degrees.

″Anything beyond that, and we have to start thinking about the significant rise of the sea levels ... we can expect more ferocious storms, hurricanes, wind shear, dust erosion.″

He said there is time to act, but there is no time to waste.
UNEP is working toward forming a scientific plan of action by the end of 1990, and the adoption of a global climate treaty by 1992. In May, delegates from 103 nations met in Nairobi, Kenya - where UNEP is based - and decided to open negotiations on the treaty next year.

Nations will be asked to reduce the use of fossil fuels, cut the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as methane and fluorocarbons, and preserve the rain forests.

″We have no clear idea about the ecological minimum of green space that the planet needs to function effectively. What we do know is that we are destroying the tropical rain forest at the rate of 50 acres a minute, about one football field per second,″ said Brown.

Each acre of rain forest can store 100 tons of carbon dioxide and reprocess it into oxygen.
Brown suggested that compensating Brazil, Indonesia and Kenya for preserving rain forests may be necessary.

The European Community istalking about a half-cent levy on each kilowatt- hour of fossil fuels to raise $55 million a year to protect the rain forests, and other direct subsidies may be possible, he said.
The treaty could also call for improved energy efficiency, increasing conservation, and for developed nations to transfer technology to Third World nations to help them save energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions, said Brown.

Holy ****, that's creatively hilarious. I can't stop laughing.

 

[Steelworth]

Yeah it always boggles my mind, what do you think has to be used for any type of energy source?

I keep saying if it's so dire, go Nuclear. The only sustainable alternative that's clean. I keep getting shut down on that one though.

As she flies around the world in a jet burning 1000's of gallons of fuel, drives a car while alone which has batteries weighing 1100 lbs of nickel, cobalt and aluminium,*I guess that came out of flowers. Then let's recharge those batteries with electricity that comes mostly from burning gas & coal but let's not bring that up. Cold? Heat your house with what? Oil yup that's what we thought. Traveling around away from home, In a nice full size SUV.
How about she walk or bicycle everywhere, eat only what's
within a 10 mile radius, wear enough so she and her family doesn't need to heat their house at all unless it's 100% solar and the same for her food. Like a nice soy popsicle? Douche?

Lets NOT FORGET JANE WHEN SHE WENT TO VIST OUR PRISONERS OF WAR IN NORTH KOREA THAT AFTER SOME OF THEM HANDED HER NOTES TO GET TO THIER FAMILIES SHE TURNED THEM IN TO THE NORTH KOREANS AND THOSE SOULDERS WERE KILLED. SHE IS AND WILL AWAYS BE AMERICAS #1 PIECE OF **** TRAITOR.

Me? I can think of one person who absolutely, definitively should be at the end of a rope for treason.

Fonda called returning POWs "hypocrites and liars," adding, "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed. ... Pilots were saying it was the policy of the Vietnamese and that it was systematic. I believe that's a lie."

She is still alive. I don't think treason has a statute of limitations. Rope, lamp post, some assembly required.

Liberal: Being unable to separate facts from emotion; a willingness to forgive horrendous behavior if the wrongdoer is sufficiently "woke"; unerringly imposing an incredibly high standard on political foes while having absolutely no values themselves; willing to let Americans die, even kill Americans, to advance "wokeness" [see, illegal immigrants].

"Jane Fonda is a ******* traitor who would have been hanged in 1945 for doing what she did, but since she is a woke liberal and we have no standards, we now give her awards."

Liberals love Roman Polanski too and he's just a white R. Kelly with more talent.

If Harvey Weinstein was young enough, in about 10 years, he'd be welcome back with open arms if the movie was good enough and made enough people rich.

US carbon dioxide emissions hit a 27-year low last year and are projected to continue to decline, the result of increased use of natural gas, renewables, and energy efficiency.

Wind Turbine Blades Can’t Be Recycled, So They’re Piling Up in Landfills

Tens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and most have nowhere to go but landfills. In the U.S. alone, about 8,000 will be removed in each of the next four years.

Built to withstand hurricane-force winds, the blades can’t easily be crushed, recycled or repurposed.

Can't we use them to build a beautiful wall?

I'm wondering how they wear out? Seems to me that their job isn't that hard.

Some of the wind turbines in Palm Springs California are 150 ft tall and the blades are half the size of a football field. Even driving on the freeway and seeing them from a distance, they really don't look that big.

I think I read that there are 11,000 turbines in California (or there were) and they only make up 6% of the electricity. For all the work and maintenance that goes into them, that's just not nearly enough.

 

[Steelworth]

Hell, looking at those though, they look even bigger.
