Hey U.N. – show us your tipping points!

Pathetic handwaving double down from the UN

By Anthony Watts | Watts Up With That? | August 27, 2014

Eric Worrall writes: A number of MSM outlets are carrying news of a “leaked” UN document, which claims that global warming may be causing irreversible damage.

According to the Bloomberg version of the leak story;

“Global warming already is affecting “all continents and across the oceans,” and further pollution from heat-trapping gases will raise the likelihood of “severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems,”

The problem with this vapid handwaving nonsense is that it is so vague. I mean, in the good old days, alarmists made interesting predictions;

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

Al Gore’s ice free arctic (in 5 years!)

Rain will never fill Australian reservoirs again

The great thing about bold predictions is they are easily falsified – all you have to do is wait a few years, then point and laugh.

The survivors of that golden age of bold stupidity are far too timid – they issue vague predictions of calamity which won’t occur until long after we are all safely dead, and promises that if we wait a few decades we might see something worrying.

I mean, seriously folks, is this the best you can do? Can even the most rabid alarmists get enthused by such a pathetic effort?

  1. Look, if it makes people stop raping and poisoning the planet, then in a strange way, I’m all for the alarmists cries. Whether it’s a scientic proven or not, is almost irrelevant. I live in a very small community that has changed dramatically over the last three years ” thanks” to alocal landholder having access to a council developer. Five new neighbours. My atmospere has changed, forget the actual climate. I get glares of roofs, three times as many cars, I can here the angle grinders and rachet gun almosts all day. I don’t have black sky at night anymore, etc etc. Now the actual climate, well let me tell you, my neighbor, one of the landed squattocracy built a great big dam, hole , just over my back paddock to provide for his cattle. Since then my tiny little dam has dried up. Now , for me thats climate change. Not the artic ice, that may well, and tragically, be disappearing a little faster than normal. another neighbor has put an ugly row of pine trees to my NE which is year by year taking away my wind sun, I inturn burn more wood to keep warm. That for me is climate change. Likewise take away trees in certain locations, water runs faster, more erratically, errosion gullies occur, winds have no barriers, evaporation rates increase etc etc. Best use you clever literary skills to improve the world that you experience and observe and stop the silly ego centic retorts, because thats what they appear to be to me.

    • The AGW agenda is all about poisoning the Earth with radioactive emissions and waste, building a new generation of nuclear plants. You don’t have to lie to do the right thing.

      Co2 is NOT a pollutant. It’s a natural component of the Earth and always has been.

I live in a very small community that has changed dramatically over the last three years ” thanks” to a local landholder having access to a council developer. It has resulted in five new neighbours. My atmospere has changed, forget the actual climate for a moment . I get blinding glares of huge roofs, three times as many cars, I can here the angle grinders and rachet gun almosts all day. I don’t have black sky at night anymore,due to all the lights etc etc. Now the actual climate, well let me tell you, my neighbor, one of my neighbors , a landed squatter has built a great big dam, hole , just over my back paddock to provide for his cattle.

Another neighbor has put an ugly row of pine trees to my NE which is year by year taking away my winter sun, I inturn burn more wood to keep warm. That for me is climate change. Likewise take away trees in certain locations, water runs faster, more erratically, errosion gullies occur, minerals disappear, water doesn’t soak in etc, winds have no barriers, evaporation rates increase etc etc. Best use you clever literary skills to improve the real world that you experience and observe and stop the silly ego centic retorts, because thats what they appear to be to me.
