You have GOT to be kidding me!

Maybe in a few billion years, as the sun expands.

How they could write such stupidity with a straight face is beyond me.

The Earth has survived with over ten times as much carbon dioxide as it currently has, and it did just fie.

From the so-called article at MSN:

"Research shows that several Earth system components may be closer to destabilising than once believed,” the researchers urged. "While the exact risk is uncertain, it is clear that current climate commitments are insufficient.”

Even with the scenario of a nine degree rise in temperature the planet would hardly be uninhabitable; it would require adjustment, no question, but that would mean the average planetary temperature would rise from 59 to 69 degrees; this would make the tropics too warm but the temperate zone would be tropical and the poles quite nice. Considering the vast amount of land near the poles in Siberia and the whole continent of Antarctica the human race would be o.k. and so would most of the life on the planet.

That is worst-case scenario, and it's purest fiction, like that stupid movie "The Day After Tomorrow" it makes for a good disaster film but has no basis in reality.

It is astonishing that people actually buy this. The fact is the planet has warmed about one degree since the early days of the 20th century, and actually before that as we have been moving out of the Little Ice Age of the 18th and early to mid 19th centiuries with the ebd of two solar minima - the Maunder and the Dalton, which made that period especially cold.

But this is, of course, about political and social control and not about the actual science. As Michael Crichton called it, it is about a state of fear designed to herd the public in the direction the elites in our society wish them to go. Fear has become the lprimary mechanism for social control, where in the old days it was honor, and then guilt. Honor died when we kicked out the old order in the post-enlightenment era, since the Church and the hereditary order were the primary keepers of honor. It was replaced by guilt and guilt is still a major mechanism for societall control (just look at any Woke person) but the newest of them all is fear and as Crichton pointed out the way it works is new doomsday scenarios are devised in the Universities, and disseminated by a completely ignorant and willing media, then the politicians take it up. The public, ever pushed to the end of their seats by the newest doomsday warning, complies in order to "save the planet" for themselves and their progeny.

But it's as fake as the hair glued onto the Wolf Man, or Dracula's canine choppers.

This illustrates that perfectly. It is not about science at all but about scaring the public. If this were about science they would explain that this 'worst case scenario" is very, very, very unlikely indeed, even if "climate change" aka global warming is real and is a problem.

And to make this prediction after the whole country experienced a particularly cold and snowy winter illustrates their measure of desperation; they have to get the global warming scare back on track. They know this last winter did them no favors in terms of p.r. and so they are going to double down on this sort of stupidity to trick the weak minded.

If they truly believed this, truly believed the world is in peril from carbon dioxide emissions, they would alter their own lifestyles. They wouldn't buy beachfront property. They wouldn't fly in private jets. They would sell their mansions and buy these tiny houses which are all the rave now. No more swimming pools, private yachts, etc. But they aren't selling they are buying. What does that tell us class?
