Earth at 2° hotter will be horrific. Now here’s 4° +

This is what the world will be like if we do not act on climate change.

- The best-case pie in the sky scenario of climate change is that world gets just 2°C hotter, which scientists call the "threshold of catastrophe". (Feedback loops already in action make a <2 degree rise almost impossible even if we could manage zero emissions globally starting today.)
- Why is that the good news? Because if humans don't change course now, the planet is on a trajectory to reach 4°C at the end of this century, which would bring $600 trillion in global climate damages, double the warfare, and a refugee crisis 100x worse than the Syrian exodus.

- David Wallace-Wells explains what would happen at an 8°C and even 13°C increase. These predictions are horrifying, but should not scare us into complacency. "It should make us focus on them more intently," he says.

David Wallace-Wells is a national fellow at the New America foundation and a columnist and deputy editor at New York magazine. He was previously the deputy editor of The Paris Review.

So....now you believe in evolution.

My question to deniers like yourself, what difference does it make if it's man made, it's happening, and we have the ability to at least mitigate it, but you and yours would just say "nope, ain't real" as your home in Florida goes underwater. Why not take control?

Since it's not real, can we have your children's names to deny space in refugee camps? They can stand outside and laugh at the dry folks, secure in the knowledge that dad said it's natural.

Sorry, Bob, your dude is either a moron or liar. (The woman screaming at him from off camera isn't much better.)
I had my proof when he lied "best case scenario, 10 ft sea level rise in 40-50 years, worst scenario is 100ft."

That is absolutely not even close to the prediction. Most accepted predictions are in the 2-3 ft sea level rise range by 2100, not 10-100 ft by 2060. Since he is so incredibly wrong about the basics, I have no doubt he's just as wrong or worse in his understanding of the science and not worth my time.....his lack of understanding a temperature change that takes thousands or tens of thousands of years is less destructive than one of equal magnitude taking decades reinforces that assumption.

His proof it's not real....he hasn't noticed it on the prospectus for condominiums or bank loans in Miami...not that he's read many but he's certain not a single fucking one mentions sea level rise....but that's absolutely bullshit, they do. Prices in low lying areas have steadily dropped since 2000 specifically because of increasing chances of flooding, while higher, previously low income areas are becoming gentrified. Hurricane and flood insurance rates have also skyrocketed because insurance companies do factor in climate change, which would be noted in a condo sales prospectus or bank loan. He's quite simply lying.

Don't think it went unnoticed that you didn't address the question a whit.

So let's have those names, your bloodline will not be saved from the disaster you help cause.

More disproving the man made climate warming hoax.

The 97% is so misleading. see time in above vid starting at 6:11

So only of 100% survey only 32% believe in Climate change is man made.


BSRsays...

Well, I'm convinced. Don't know what the hell I've been thinking. Thanks Bob. It's nice not having to worry about all that BS. Fantasy land here I come!

bobknight33said:

You been lied to. Climate warming is a hoax.

bobknight33says...

More disproof of the hoax. More people don't believe this crap. Al Gore and is ilk have brainwashed our children for last 20 + years and now they are indoctrinated is this hoax


newtboysays...

Oh Bob....you don't even know what the word "disproving" means, do you?

This twaddle only disproves the notion that you can discern actual information from snidely delivered propaganda.
He is right about one thing, he's not a scientist, he's a comedian who's jokes aren't funny, just like he says. He's not a journalist however, he's likely hoping he can be an internet opinion influencer.
America Uncovered....a spin off of the insane China Uncensored channel, dedicated to China bashing.

This new smattering of random right wing YouTube videos are not "proof" of anything but your bias and willingness to repeat nonsense you enjoy but don't understand.

Put your money where your mouth is, go buy some cheap ocean front property in Miami Dade or the Keys, and don't worry about the fact you can't get flood or hurricane insurance, those are leftie hoaxes and nothing to worry about. You're really going to show us! Odd that those properties are losing value with all those smart rich right wing investors fighting over them, isn't it?

Just going to search "climate change deniers" and post whatever stupidity you find on YouTube and call it "proof", eh? I know you didn't actually even watch these videos, much less examine their ridiculous claims, you didn't have time.

Too bad you don't understand science a whit, or you would be ashamed of yourself.

The reason he doesn't feel ashamed has more to do with his character than with his understanding of science. He's made that clear years ago...he's incapable of feeling shame, empathy, or even something like common decency.
