Ipcc Report

[Untitled]

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued its sixth report.

Summed up here…
https://news.sky.com/story/climate-change-global-warming-limit-of-1-5c-to-be-hit-in-next-20-years-landmark-un-report-warns-12376737

Full report here…
https://www.ipcc.ch/

Without large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across the world, the 1.5c target will be breached.. extreme weather, more flooding, more wildfires and eventually rising sea levels…

What can be done to stop catastrophic climate change? We need to be at net zero by 2050 - quite a big ask unfortunately…

if you don't believe in man-made climate change at this point then you essentially don't believe in science i'm afraid... it's down there with anti-vaxxers and young earth creationists...

The "new ice age" of the 1970s was predicted by a handful of scientists and ruled out quite quickly by peer review - the "controversy" around it was drummed up largely by the media...

Climate change isn't like that. The scientific consensus is near unanimous and the evidence is strong enough to be undeniable.

If temperatures like those in Sicily are to become the norm in Europe will people still go there on holiday?

I'll keep saying this: Global Warming is natural. It isn't man-made. The Earth is still emerging from the last ice age and is warming up. The Sun is the only thing that determines the climate on the Earth. When the warming reaches it's peak, the Earth will then recede into another ice age. It's cyclic and has happened ever since the earth was formed.

The major concern should be directed at plastic pollution. A recent study by NASA showed that all samples taken from the ocean, all around the world, contained micro-beads, an ingredient of shower gel. That's just one aspect of plastic pollution. But I suppose it depends where there is most money to be made, climate change alarmism, or plastic prevention?

The scientists all are faking results to get money?

[Spicerack]

Energy bills are going up by over £100 average this winter, unintended, you'll be glad to hear.

[bobbinwales]

Untitled is right imo as some posts here show.

[10ClarionSt]

Exaggerating, bob, exaggerating. Scaring the vulnerable, like you. Al Gore has made millions out of scaring people like you.

[Spicerack]

If Climategate didn't tell you that, bobbin, you'll never learn.

[Spicerack]

A billion, the fat fraud.

Easy to spout how concerned you are on here and call others deniers but what are the spouters actually doing to help the situation?

I'm going to hazard guess at naff-all.

"I'll keep saying this: Global Warming is natural"

you are wrong

The ipcc report in the op is also very detailed.

Untitled,
I read this comment concerning what the Report didn't say (as it couldn't say), which has a ring of truth to it:

~ “What the IPCC report didn’t say was that the only way humanity can address climate change is allow the collapse our global economy…” That’s a stark assessment, Jody, but I agree with it and I imagine most of the scientists who draft the IPCC report do too or at least recognize it’s likely to be the case. They can’t write that in the report though because it has to be signed off line by line by all UN member states, very few of whom trust their rivals to give up the financial and military advantages of a fossil-fuel-powered extraction economy at exactly the same time as they themselves do. ~

It's the Sun that determines the climate on this planet. Nothing else. Another major factor is volcanoes which pump large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere every day. How do you stop a volcano?

I'm afraid you are simply not correct 10clarionst.

[bobbinwales]

10cs should let the scientists know there wrong so wrong. Why ask experts when 10cs and others here know more than them on covid and climate.

[dave50]

I can't help thinking that the Climate change issue has been hyjacked by the anti capitalist fanatics, after it is an ideal vehicle for their cause, the collapse of the global economy.

[Untitled]

i can't help but feel that people deny the science of climate change for political reasons rather than because they actually think it is wrong.

[dave50]

There is nothing we can realistically do about it, the only thing we can do is adapt to the rising temperatures and any rise in sea levels.
