More On The Legitimate Debate Over Global Warming Predictions

Following comment received from a good friend Blog follower supporting the argument that manmade global warming is a real issue:

"Dr. Lindzen is the most prominent skeptic of climate change. As in all of science, Dr. Lindzen offers an opposite view that essential to good science. At some point he'll need to concede to overwhelming evidence and data coming from his colleagues at MIT and many other universities.

Always wondered where the good doctor got his funding from."

 

Answer:

There is no actual scientific evidence that supports either side of this argument. In fact, the often repeated myth

‘97% Of Climate Scientists Agree' ---- Is 100% Wrong!!!!

The argument on both sides is all about which predictions of global warming do you want to believe. Both sides agree a) the planet has been warming for the last two hundred years; b) the current science consensus centers on an argument over no more than a 2 degree F. warming in the next 100 years; and - it is absolutely impossible to accurately predict climate change resulting from burning fossil fuels. In fact, all of the dire predictions of the past – some by scientists but most by politicians and environmental alarmists – have proven to be dead wrong. Check out just a few of these silly predictions --- copied below.

Count me as one who believes – based on actual evidence to date: a) manmade technology will keep mankind from destroying the planet; b) there is no way that a 2 degree global warming over the next 100 years will be catastrophic; c) this is not a science argument – it is an ideological argument i.e. most Democrats want to believe global warming is an issue – most Republicans want to believe global warming is a non-issue. It is indeed interesting to note, Dr. Lindzen is an accomplished, credible scientist yet he is only considered a skeptic by Democrats.  Only Democrats care where Dr. Lindzen gets his funding.

Why should ayone believe the doom and gloom predictions coming from politicians, environmental alarmists and an ignorant press in the face of these facts:?

In his book Earth in the Balance, Vice President Al Gore said this in 1992:

 “Because of the rising sea level, due to global warming, in the next few decades … up to 60 percent of the present population of Florida may have to be relocated”

It’s 2016 – Florida’s population is still growing

Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in five years. Gore made the prediction to a German audience in 2008. He told them that “the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.”

Two-thirds of the world's polar bears could disappear by 2050 as global warming continues to melt the Arctic's sea ice, according to a series of U.S. government studies released last Friday.

Eight years ago today (May 2015) the United Nations scientists predicted we only had “as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more.” This failed prediction, however, has not stopped the U.N. from issuing more apocalyptic predictions since then.

In the late 1980s the U.N. scientists were already claiming the world had only a decade to solve global warming or face the consequences.

The San Jose Mercury News reported on June 30, 1989 that a “senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.”

That prediction didn’t come true 15 years ago, and the U.N. is sounding the same alarm today.

Environmentalist write George Monbiot wrote in the UK Guardian in 2002 that within “as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals or it continues to feed the world’s people. It cannot do both.”

In 2002, about 930 million people around the world were undernourished, according to U.N. data. by 2014, that number shrank to 805 million.

Prince Charles said in July 2009 that in 70 months - there would be “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.”

2009 was a bad year for global warming predictions. That year Prime Minister Brown also warned there was only “50 days to save the world from global warming,” the BBC reported. According to Brown there was “no plan B"

In 2012, the United Nations Foundation President Tim Wirth told Climatewire that Obama’s second term was “the last window of opportunity” to impose policies to restrict fossil fuel use. Wirth said it’s “the last chance we have to get anything approaching 2 degrees Centigrade,” adding that if “we don’t do it now, we are committing the world to a drastically different place.”

Even before that, then-National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center head James Hansen warned in 2009 that Obama only “has four years to save Earth.”
