New UN IPCC report claims ‘Now or Never’ to flight climate – That’s an easy choice – NEVER! – More tipping points – Point-by-point rebuttal
"Absolutely nothing in this IPCC report is true. It is all fake and threatens the existence of civilization, especially the West because the East and the South don’t buy it. We must reject it or face the consequences. Celebrate CO2!!"IPCC climate change report headline via AFP: Scientists warn it’s now or never to limit global warming – The boss of the United Nations has erupted at world leaders as scientists warn the planet is in peril unless urgent action is taken.
UN Claim: “Humans have less than three years to halt the rise of planet-warming carbon emissions and less than a decade to slash them by nearly half, UN climate experts said. … It’s a last-gasp race to ensure the world has a “liveable future”.
“It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C,” said Jim Skea, a professor at Imperial College London and co-chair of the working group behind the report.
Climate Depot Response: “‘Now or Never’ again?! Easy choice, NEVER!” See: Earth ‘serially doomed’: The official history of climate ‘Tipping Points’ began in 1864
AFP: UN Claim: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: “Some government and business leaders are saying one thing, but doing another. Simply put: They are lying. And the results will be catastrophic.”
UN Claim: “The IPCC made clear that individuals can also make a big difference…Cutting back on long-haul flights, switching to plant-based diets, climate-proofing buildings and other ways of cutting the consumption”
Climate Depot Response: “Ignore the UN’s promotion of energy lockdowns to ‘fight’ climate change. More restrictions on plentiful energy to turn peoples’ lives into micromanaged deprivation all in the service of some cultish climate goals. See: Intl Energy Agency report urges ENERGY LOCKDOWNS: ‘Banning use of private cars on Sundays…Reducing highway speed limits…more working from home…cutting business air travel’ & SUV ‘tax’
UN Claim: Olha Boiko, an activist from the Climate Action Network, based in Ukraine, said: “The money, that we begged not to invest in dirty energy, is now flying over our heads in the form of bombs.”
Climate Depot Response: “Let’s rework Boiko’s claim into a true statement: Accurate revision: “The money, that we begged the U.S. & Europe not to invest in unreliable solar and wind that produces very little energy compared to fossil fuels, is now flying over our heads in the form of bombs because Europe and the U.S. had to rely on Russia’s fossil fuels and thus fund Putin’s war machine.”

Let's hope it's not just hot air!
New IPCC chairman is right to rebuke misleading climate alarm
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has welcomed the rebuke of exaggerated climate hype and alarm by the IPCC’s new chairman, Professor Jim Skea.
In interviews with German news media over the weekend the new head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said it was wrong and misleading for climate activists to imply that temperature increases of 1.5 degrees Celsius posed an existential threat to humanity.

I’ve always said the earth is going to be just fine. It’s seen worse. Mankind will be OK in the long run.
That’s after major catastrophes along the low lying areas in the world and the calamities caused by mass migration. But, here in Boise, ID, I’ll be just fine as well. We could use a little more rain, but 105° days throughout the summer are tolerable, too.
Remember, the 400+ ppm CO2 is the highest in several hundred thousand years. The formula is simple.

All we need happen is for a Krakatoa sized volcanic event to occur, and Gorebal Warming suddenly goes away... Sure, the "True Believers" will stammer on about how it's all 'temporary' and such, but it would show how totally stupid their predictions and claims really are.

They are giving another last chance warning again.
What is this like their seventh one now?
Don’t worry though, I assume they are already writing the next one they will release in ten years.
Lol
This is the same tired argument climate change deniers have shouted for years: "The climate isn't changing all that much, if at all, and the cost of alternative energy is too high."
Nothing new. What is new are increasing strains on climate.

Hey Smarty, get on-board ffs! The new head of the IPCC is addressing climate doomsters like you, so listen up.
Chill out’ says IPCC climate chief: global warming is ‘not an existential threat’
British Professor Jim Skea, the new chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says apocalyptic messaging on climate paralyses public debate and that a rise in global temperatures is “not an existential threat to humanity”.
The head of the UN climate team with a track-record of 40 years in climate science, said environmental doom-mongers do more harm than good.
While radical activist groups such as Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and the German-based Last Generation are causing disturbances in public spheres claiming the world will end imminently, Prof Skea said their methods and messages “paralyse” the public and fail to motivate them to protect the planet.
Current predictions, in which the global temperature may rise by 1.5C, are “not an existential threat to humanity”, he said.
Prof Skea has contributed to the IPCC’s Special Report on Climate Change and Land and its 2022 report on climate change mitigation, among many others.
“If you constantly communicate the message that we are all doomed to extinction, then that paralyses people and prevents them from taking the necessary steps to get a grip on climate change,” he said, adding that every action to mitigate climate change should be supported.
He did have a warning regarding environmental issues: “The world won’t end if it gets more than 1.5C degrees warmer.

Good you recognize the credentials of the IPCC. Next try to take in what the IPCC is saying. The message is it is imperative global warming be limited to an increase of 1.5 degrees.
p.s. This is what he said about "existential threat':
“The world won’t end if it gets more than 1.5C degrees warmer. However, it will be a more dangerous world. Countries will struggle with many problems, there will be social tensions.
And yet this is not an existential threat to humanity. Even with 1.5 degrees of warming, we will not die out.”
Hey, good. At least we all won't die. Can't ask for more than that.

Well he has to say that as well as the IPCC is very much a politically driven organisation. Witness how the relatively benign reports get turned into the Summaries for Policymakers, why do they hand over control to politicians, NGOs and national bureaucracies? That's deeply corrupt and totally wrong.
