Climate Damage 'Irreversible' According Leaked Climate Report
New submitter SomeoneFromBelgium (3420851) writes According to Bloomberg a leaked climate report from the IPPC speaks of "Irreversible Damage." The warnings in the report are, as such, not new but the tone of voice is more urgent and more direct than ever. It states among other things that global warming already is affecting "all continents and across the oceans," and that "risks from mitigation can be substantial, but they do not involve the same possibility of severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts as risks from climate change, increasing the benefits from near-term mitigation action."
More urgent and direct than ever? That's good because they were so calm about it up to now.
Are you telling me that spewing into the atmosphere millions of years of accumulated sunlight and cutting down most of the natural CO2 scrubers (trees) of the world will have negative effects? Nah! Imposible!
ready guys? 1....2...3.... get him!!!
I just hope global warming increases to the point where it can self-pop the popcorn I like to eat when these histrionic sorts of things come out. All the sound and fury, so little actually accomplished! Whee!
It's also likely that global warming might deliver pre-melted butter for the popcorn. Damn, what's wrong with this again?

Don't worry. Seriously, some very rich people who made a fortune selling gas and coal have assured us that these climate change alarmists are just a bunch of melodramatic liars. There's nothing to worry about.
Have politicians give up their salaries to pay for carbon credits. Have progressives pay for the legions of illegals on the welfare doles now. Have conservatives pay for abortion clinics for militant atheists. Have everyone pay for the continued corporate welfare cycle that's not in the Constitution.
