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."
Climate has always changed, the concept of "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it. But lets pretend that they're the same thing, because it will gather more clicks.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
SHHHH! Don't point out facts that are not debatable or it will turn in to more of the "IRREVERSIBLE!" or "PUSHED TO THE BREAKING POINT" or "IF WE DON'T ACT NOW WE WILL ALL DIE" mantra from those making a living off of climate change. Do dig in to their "97%" number either. It might not actually make sense then they will claim you are "A rich person that makes money off of coal and gas!!!" or even better "A Koch brothers supporter!"
and "scientists" are now trying to stuff the missing heat from failed computer models into the only place they can, which is similarly flawed computer models with "heat" trapped deep in the oceans, orginally, convient because there was limited historic data, but now this flaw is turning out to be equally untrue. Plus, the whole CERN Climategate docs.
Did you mean UEA?
In any case, trying to pretend the heat is "trapped" deep in some ocean is the only desperate move they have left to try to claim their models have any real validity.
Seriously, your only alternative is paid-for shillls by the oil industry and you are going to reject the work of 250,000 Climate scientists, statisticians and space-climate researchers.
This is idiocy turned into an art form.
so, that said PBS How Exxon Shaped the Climate Debate (denialism exposed)
