CLIMATE CHANGE IS "NOT PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS"

 

Find out why from the short video in the link below from one of the most highly qualified climate scientists there is:

Climate change isn’t ‘particularly dangerous’: Richard Lindzen | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com)

Isn't it extraordinary that such a highly qualified man is ignored by governments and by the mainstream media? He is one of many top experts who say the same thing. Yet the world listens to a school girl who has missed lessons to protest that more needs to be done to stop emitting CO2.  This has nothing to do with science, it is simply politics.  We are living in extraordinary times.

    1. Human-induced global warming of 1.1 degrees C has spurred changes to the Earth’s climate that are unprecedented in recent human history.
    2. Climate impacts on people and ecosystems are more widespread and severe than expected, and future risks will escalate rapidly with every fraction of a degree of warming.
    3. Adaptation measures can effectively build resilience, but more finance is needed to scale solutions.
    4. Some climate impacts are already so severe they cannot be adapted to, leading to losses and damages.
    5. Global GHG emissions peak before 2025 in 1.5 degrees C-aligned pathways.
    6. The world must rapidly shift away from burning fossil fuels — the number one cause of the climate crisis.
    7. We also need urgent, systemwide transformations to secure a net-zero, climate-resilient future.
    8. Carbon removal is now essential to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C.
    9. Climate finance for both mitigation and adaptation must increase dramatically this decade.
    10. Climate change — as well as our collective efforts to adapt to and mitigate it — will exacerbate inequity should we fail to ensure a just transition.

  2. Copy and pasting lists of IPCC summary reports are not a substitute for intelligent discussion.

  3. That is intelligent discussion. Com[pletely intelligent discussion. My point is, climate change is dangerous. It only gets more so with the more we burn FF.

  4. It seems more like a religious chant than a discussion. There is no actual evidence provided, only repeated assertions with computer derived predictions. The real world has not changed. We still have extreme weather just as we have always had.

  5. Science has shown us the real world has changed and why. You are squarely in the bullseye of denial. IPPC AR6 lists the changes, how much, and what the solutions are. Every avenue of science points to humans have brought about lots of negative changes to the climate and living space on earth.

  6. Science is incomplete and uncertain. It's politicians and those with a vested interest who are certain. Some scientists have a vested interest, as their jobs depend on pleasing their political masters.

    1. Mnay fields of science come to a consensus about the evidence of their field. Climate change is one of them. There is enough definitive evidence in now to know humans have warmed to climate and that it is dangerous to continue burning fossil fuels.


      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus_on_climate_change

      There is a strong scientific consensus that the Earth is warming and that this warming is mainly caused by human activities. This consensus is supported by various studies of scientists' opinions and by position statements of scientific organizations, many of which explicitly agree with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) synthesis reports.
