Climate Activists Dispute Study Claiming Warming Is ‘Past Point of No Return’

USA Today and other media outlets are publicizing an alarmist climate study claiming Earth has passed a “point of no return” for unending global warming. The study is so flawed that even climate activists are criticizing it. Americans deserve better climate reporting.

A pair of researchers from the Norwegian Business School published the study, claiming, “In this paper we report that in the ESCIMO climate model the world is already past a point-of-no-return for global warming. In ESCIMO we observe self-sustained melting of the permafrost for hundreds of years, even if global society stops all emissions of man-made GHGs immediately.” [emphasis in the original]

This new study projects a climate future so bad, even prominent climate alarmists like Katharine Hayhoe are criticizing it:

Oh  hell no...  it can never be "past the point of no return".   However would the idiot left be able to control the lives of humans via fear-mongering if that were the case.
