The Apocalypse Is Now: We Need Immediate Action Against Climate Change To Survive Erin Bunch・September 23, 2020“Oof, 2020 is the worst.” You’ve heard the refrain; you’ve seen the memes. There’s a good chance that you, yourself, have uttered something along the lines of “I can’t wait for this garbage fire of a year to end” under your breath while scrolling through apocalyptic headlines of rampant disease, wildfires, hazardous air quality, hurricane damage… shall I go on? But the truth is, this unprecedented-in-our-lifetime global state of emergency is not an aberration, and it won’t end as the sun sets on 2020.
I’m really worried. I only have one question. BBC: 'Have Our Climate Models Been Wrong? “All our expert witnesses say treating the most severe trajectory, RCP 8.5, as the “business as usual” baseline scenario was wrong.
That placed us in the spotlight and as a result, our climate modelling has put too much emphasis on an unlikely scenario. ” Have our climate models been wrong?

Report warns climate change could become ‘catastrophic’ global, national security threatBY REBECCA KLAR – 02/24/20 09:16 AM ESTNational security and intelligence experts warn that climate change could become a “catastrophic” threat to security and recommended quick action to be taken to mitigate risks, according to a new report released Monday. “Even at scenarios of low warming, each region of the world will face severe risks to national and global security in the next three decades,” experts wrote in the report released by the National Security, Military and Intelligence Panel of the Center of Climate and Security, a nonpartisan security policy institute.
“Higher levels of warming will pose catastrophic, and likely irreversible, global security risks over the course of the 21st century.” The report itself is available here. Unprecedented panic: For the first time ever, half of life on Earth will be wiped out by tiny 0.5C rise.
Emergency Declarations. The Incredible Story Of How Climate Change Became Apocalyptic. Is climate change an existential threat to humanity? Summary: The Climate Emergency assumes that climate change is an existential threat to humanity.
Climate scientist Cliff Mass examines the evidence for that theory. “Is global warming an existential threat?” Probably not, but it’s still a serious issue. By Cliff Mass at Weather and Climate, 12 August 2019. During the recent presidential debate, a number of candidates suggested that global warming represents an existential threat to mankind, and thus requires dramatic and immediate action. Did the IPCC predict a climate apocalypse? No. Summary: The IPCC’s Special Report “Global Warming of 1.5°C” is cited as the basis for climate activists’ predictions of doom.
Look at the report. Scotland’s Climate Apocalypse Only 10 Years Away! By Paul Homewood Forget about climate emergencies, Scotland is heading for climate apocalypse!
Scotland faces numerous catastrophic impacts from the climate crisis which could leave the country with polluted waters, abandoned villages, dying forests and few remaining birds, the head of the country’s environment agency is to warn. Outlining the apocalyptic scenario the country could face within the next decade, Francesca Osowska, head of Scottish Natural Heritage, will call for urgent action to tackle the environmental degradation already taking a heavy toll on Scotland. Some of the biggest impacts include enormous wildfires which burned across swathes of the country in April and May, with one in Moray described as one of the largest wildfires seen in the UK in recent years.

Hyberbole from the New York Post By Ebony Bowden June 3, 2019 | 6:29pm | Updated A harrowing new climate change report warns we may be on the way to extinction, claiming there is a “high likelihood” human civilization will come to an end by 2050 unless action is taken on greenhouse gas emissions.
The dire paper, which predicts a biblical-like scenario of devastating floods, drought, famine and a breakdown in international order, has been endorsed by the former chief of Australia’s military. The analysis, published May 30 by Australian think tank the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, calls for a new approach to climate change and paints a bleak picture of the world in 30 years if nothing is done to combat greenhouse emissions. According to the report’s central “2050 scenario,” one billion people will be forced to relocate from unlivable conditions while food production will become inadequate to feed the global population.

Guest essay by Eric Worrall Climate Scientist Mike Hulme has stirred a hornets nest by suggesting setting climate deadlines is counterproductive, because when the deadlines are missed people point and laugh. Why setting a climate deadline is dangerousThe publication of the IPCC Special Report on global warming of 1.5C paved the way for the rise of the political rhetoric of setting a fixed deadline for decisive actions on climate change.
However, the dangers of such deadline rhetoric suggest the need for the IPCC to take responsibility for its report and openly challenge the credibility of such a deadline.Shinichiro Asayama, Rob Bellamy, Oliver Geden, Warren Pearce and Mike Hulme…This rise of ‘climate deadline-ism’ is, in some ways, a product of long-standing scientific (and political) endeavours to quantify what is ‘dangerous’ climate change. The response from the climate alarm community has been less than enthusiastic. For example, from Think Progress; Deadlines make great theatre. IPCC Scientists: Setting a Climate Deadline is Dangerous. Recently published in Nature is a comment article Why setting a climate deadline is dangerous byShinichiro Asayama, Rob Bellamy, Oliver Geden, Warren Pearce & Mike Hulme.
H/T Robert Walker, who explains in his post at Science 2.0 Should IPCC Openly Challenge ‘Only 12 Years To Save Planet’ Deadline Rhetoric? Excerpts in italics with my bolds. Ever since the IPCC report in 2018, there’s been an increasing surge of doomist reporting, to the point that it is no surprise that there are many of our youngsters are naturally depressed and suicidal, thinking there is little point in life, and that they won’t live to be adults. Others are leading the way with politically unrealistic demands that we decarbonize completely within 12 years. These new requirements they are making are not supported at all by science, rather they are a result of emotional rhetoric, journalistic exaggerations, and junk science that they do not know how to evaluate correctly.
Settled Science From The Space Age. NASA can’t put people in space any more, but back during the space age of 1969-1970 – scientists were determined to blame something on your car. They just couldn’t make up their minds whether it was global warming or global cooling. In 1969, the New York Times predicted an ice-free Arctic by 1989, and three days later predicted a new ice age. Expert Says Arctic Ocean Will Soon Be an Open Sea – Catastrophic Shifts in Climate Feared Science – Worrying About a New Ice Age – NYTimes.com The Chicago Tribune summed up the settled science very succinctly. 06 Feb 1970, Page 12 – Chicago Tribune at Newspapers.com The extent of multi-year ice in the Arctic is not much different than it was in 1971, indicating that the planet has neither warmed nor cooled very much.
140 Years to a PETM-Style Doomsday!!! Another PETM/Chicken Little of the Sea Epic Fail. Guest geology lesson by David Middleton PETM = Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum Research ArticleTemporal Scaling of Carbon Emission and Accumulation Rates: Modern Anthropogenic Emissions Compared to Estimates of PETM Onset Accumulation Philip D. GingerichFirst published: 30 January 2019[…]Plain Language Summary The Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) is a global greenhouse warming event that happened 56 million years ago, causing extinction in the world’s oceans and accelerated evolution on the continents. It was caused by release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
When we compare the rate of release of greenhouse gases today to the rate of accumulation during the PETM, we must compare the rates on a common time scale. H/T to Jack Dale for this gem.
