Top climate scientist declares 2C global warming goal "dead"
1d •

New York, New York - Holding long-term global warming to two degrees Celsius – the fallback target of the Paris climate accord – is now "impossible," according to a stark new analysis published by leading scientists.
 
Led by renowned climatologist James Hansen, the paper appears in the journal Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development and concludes that Earth's climate is more sensitive to rising greenhouse gas emissions than previously thought.

Compounding the crisis, Hansen and colleagues argued, is a recent decline in sunlight-blocking aerosol pollution from the shipping industry, which had been mitigating some of the warming.

Well, just d@mn!

It's 10 below zero outside, 37 below with the wind chill, and these pikers still haven't delivered the tropical conditions we've been assured are our fate.

Promises, promises...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
