Whereas I can agree with the statement that our best guess is that observable effects in the year 2030 are likely to be ‘well short of catastrophic’, it is distinctly possible that the CPD scenario will later produce effects which will indeed be catastrophic (at least for a substantial fraction of the earth’s population). This is because the global ecosystem in 2030 might still be in a transient, headed for much more significant effects after time lags perhaps of the order of decades. If this indeed turns out to be the case it is very likely that we will unambiguously recognized the threat by the year 2000 because of advances in climate modeling and the beginning of real experimental confirmation of the CO2 effect, | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/roger-cohen/ | en | null | null | 5,245 |

Fact No. 4. During the past several decades (and more), human technological advances have kept pace with, and in most cases exceeded the rate of climate change—no matter what the cause. For example, in major U.S. cities, where the thermal effects of urbanization are many times larger than the effects of any climate change, the population has become less sensitive to periods of extremely high temperature (heat waves). This is documented through declining heat wave mortality. In fact, today, many U.S. urban areas experience no increases in mortality during heat waves—a situation that was vastly different only 20 to 30 years ago. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/world-climate-report/ | en | null | null | 5,257 |
I have two problems with that 97 percent claim, 1) common sense tells us that no large group of people on our planet could ever reach 97 percent agreement on anything, even the world being round, and 2) shockingly, none of the scientists of the 97 seem to have a name, it’s just a holistic group of no-names! … rom the extensive data available on temperatures, weather, sea levels, emissions, etc. that several scientists have shared, I don’t see the cause for such a dismal outlook for the earth and its civilization.

The thing is, the politicians don’t actually believe the world is on fire and I doubt they even believe, deep down, that it will be. They acknowledge, ritualistically, ‘the climate crisis’ in the same way most Anglicans regard the Bible’s prophesies of the imminent fiery end of the world: with unspoken scepticism. | 6_proponents_biased | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/dominic-lawson/ | en | null | null | 5,325 |

In today’s political climate, the number one challenge to keeping food and other agriculture-related costs low is arguably to withstand the efforts of those who would regulate the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere,” Idso said, adding “We are all aware of the fury and determination of those who seek to label and classify carbon dioxide or CO2 as a pollutant. Their end game, which they proudly promote, is to legislate hydrocarbon fuel usage into oblivion. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/craig-idso/ | en | null | null | 5,330 |
Climate is becoming increasingly warmer we hear almost every day. This is what has become known as Global Warming. The driving idea is that there is a linear relationship between CO2 increase in the atmosphere and global temperature. The fact, however, is that temperature has constantly gone up and down. From 1850 to 1970, we see an almost linear relationship with Solar variability; not CO2. For the last 30 years, our data sets are so contaminated by personal interpretations and personal choices that it is almost impossible to sort up the mess in reliable and unreliable data,” Morner said in written evidence he presented to the UK Parliament Select Committee on Economic Affairs. | 2_not_human | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/nils-axel-morner/ | en | null | null | 5,331 |
It would be the first time that man has ever been responsible for it [warming] in recorded history. We go back ten million years, and if you’re going to actually believe what we have as the reference records, there’s no linkage to CO2 and temperature. Unless of course it’s one of these books, these 3d books, you gotta stand on your head and cross your eyes to look at. […] I have a problem when you tell me something that you exhale one-hundred times more than you inhale, and that plants love, and that’s always been around, and it’s just a very, very tiny part of the entire system, when you tell me that’s the climate control knob against the sun, the oceans […] I say why is it now, when it’s been much higher before with colder temperatures.

I am very disappointed at the downward path the AMS has been following for the last 10-15 years in its advocacy of the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hypothesis. The society has officially taken a position many of us AMS members do not agree with. We believe that humans are having little or no significant influence on the global climate and that the many Global Circulation Climate Model (GCMs) results and the four IPCC reports do not realistically give accurate future projections. To take this position which so many of its members do not necessarily agree with shows that the AMS is following more of a political than a scientific agenda, | 2_not_human | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/william-gray/ | en | null | null | 5,333 |

The claim that the sea levels are accelerating since the 1990 is not supported by any measurement of proper length and quality. We should therefore conclude that the local tide gauge results may give a good estimate of the sea level growth in the next few decades, and a lower bound of future sea level rises in 2100 or 2200, | 1_not_happening | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/albert-parker/ | en | null | null | 5,344 |

Climate policies have been blamed in some quarters for contributing to the recent run-up in energy prices, but there is no evidence.

I think the Royal Society should be more neutral and welcome credible contributions from both sceptics and alarmists alike.

Terrifying! Here was Harry, here he was this young, brave, boisterous, all male, getting into trouble, turning up at stag parties inappropriately dressed, drinking too much and causing all sorts of mayhem. And then, a brave British officer who did his bit in Afghanistan. He was the most popular royal of a younger generation that we’ve seen for 100 years And then he met Meghan Markle, and it’s fallen off a cliff. We’ve been told in the last week that Meghan and Harry will only have two children … and we’re all completely ignoring, the real problem the Earth faces, and that is the fact the population of the globe is exploding but no one dares talk about it, no one dares deal with it, and whether Prince Harry has two kids is irrelevant given there are now 2.6 billion Chinese and Indians on this Earth. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/nigel-farage/ | en | null | null | 5,349 |
