March 23rd, 2023: Fox News host Greg Gutfeld doused the woke climate change cult in a heavy layer of sarcasm on Wednesday night’s Gutfeld! as he ridiculed a New York Times hypocritical doom and gloom take on the latest UN climate report. 

Gutfeld quoted a New York Times article from Tuesday that detailed how our fragile planet will go up in flames if fossil fuel production doesn’t come to a screeching halt, according to the latest UN climate report. “Of course, this real threat to humanity it’s never gone away. Its delivery day just keeps getting changed,” he said.

The Times headlined the piece “Climate Change is Speeding Toward Catastrophe. The Next Decade is Crucial, U.N. Panel Says.” Yet, the article buried the fact that some scientists disagree with the catastrophic characterization. “It’s funny though the headline screams catastrophe, but then halfway through it, they say ‘never mind. The shocking news isn’t so shocking at all,’” he said.

“Earth is likely to cross a critical threshold for global warming within the next decade, and nations will need to make an immediate and drastic shift away from fossil fuels to prevent the planet from overheating dangerously beyond that level, according to a major new report released on Monday,” the article fear mongered.

“A new report, right, huh? It eerily sounds like the same one Algor and the rest of these lying, fear mongering bitches have been screaming at us for the last forty years,” he said. “Hey but hey, so what. You peasants need to suffer or the whole world will be doomed.”

Gutfeld noted that halfway through, the New York Times report completely contradicted the entire rest of the article.

“‘Many scientists have pointed out that surpassing the 1.5 degree threshold will not mean humanity is doomed’…why didn’t you say so to begin with?” asked Gutfeld. “Now I’m sure that this so-called threshold is arbitrary, just a thing every fear merchant can agree on.” 

He went on to point out the arbitrary nature of climate change activism.

 “These experts keep moving the goal posts because they’re worse at predicting the end of the world than the Mayans… they pick the year where everything ends and then the deadline passes. Then coincidentally Greta Thunberg deletes her tweet about it, and the climate crooks have to pick a new date,” commented Gutfeld.

Speaking of Greta Thunberg, you know climate change has reached a whole new level of crazy when Thunberg receives an honorary doctorate degree in theology for her climate activism.

“I guess that means they are finally admitting that climate change is truly a religion. And it is. Just like Jonestown,” concluded Gutfeld.

Conservatives are under attack. Contact The New York Times here and demand they report the truth on climate change and how woke ESG practices are devastating America’s economy.

14 FEBRUARY 2024.....

An article published in Popular Mechanics magazine titled, “Oops, Scientists May Have Miscalculated Our Global Warming Timeline” with the subtitle “Clues have emerged that reveal a much hotter history than we thought” makes a refreshing admission that confirms what Climate Realism has pointed out since its inception – Earth has already surpassed the arbitrary 1.5°C limit imposed at the 2015 Paris Climate Accords.

It is important to note that the 1.5°C threshold is an arbitrary number, not one established or defined by science. It was defined by political negotiations in the Paris Accord agreement of 2015. An Associated Press article, The magic 1.5: What’s behind climate talks’ key elusive goal, admits this stating, “in a way both the ‘1.5 and 2 degree C thresholds are somewhat arbitrary,’ Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson said in an email. ‘Every tenth of a degree matters!’”

The Popular Mechanics article, by writer Darren Orf published on February 9th says this:

A new study from University Western Australia Oceans Institute studied long-lived Caribbean sclerosponges and created an ocean temperature timeline dating back to the 1700s.

. . .

By analyzing strontium to calcium ratios in these sponges, the team could effectively calculate water temperatures dating back to 1700.

The study concludes that the world started warming roughly 80 years before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has maintained throughout its history, reports, and treaty negotiations, and that the Earth had likely already experienced more than 1.7 degrees Celsius by 2020.

While some scientists are questioning the validity of that data and conclusions of the article, since it goes against the dominant narrative, it does in mesh with the instrumental temperature record from Europe which ClimateRealism has written about extensively.

Climate at a Glance: Tipping Point – 1.5 Degrees Celsius Warming, succinctly sums up the issue, pointing out: climate alarmists (and the IPCC) say we need to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial times to avoid disastrous consequences, but data show we have already exceeded such temperatures, with no confirmed ill effects.

As seen in Figure 1 below we’ve actually exceeded 2.0° C rise in temperature according to the European temperature data.

The European temperature data show temperatures began rising about the year 1820. Note that this was 130 years before the large modern rise in carbon dioxide emissions began, that are claimed to to be driving dangerous warming.

Going hand in hand with the arbitrary 1.5°C temperature limit, climate alarmists warn we must take drastic steps within the next 10 years to keep warming to below or near 1.5°C above pre-industrial conditions. They claim that warming beyond that 1.5°C threshold will unleash a crisis of substantially worse extreme weather events and other climate harms. Yet the evidence suggests that we have already exceeded the much hyped 1.5℃ threshold, and data shows no disasters are arising.

Extreme weather is not becoming more common or severe, and fewer people every year are dying due to temperature and weather-related causes. Those predicting disaster from 1.5℃ have been wrong for decades. Climate Realism reported on the lack of “tipping point” occurrences in the article, Media Can’t Agree on the Number of Climate Tipping Points, Much less When, for example.

The bottom line is that climate science is very likely wrong on both the temperature record as well as the catastrophic predictions that are made from extrapolations into the future by climate models and other predictive methods. Kudos to Popular Mechanics for highlighting research which undermines this climate catastrophe narrative.

===========================

THE POINT HERE IS THAT WE ARE WATCHING/MEASURING A CATASTROPHE IN SLOW MOTION.

CHANGES SUCH AS THE MELTING OF GLACIERS AND POLAR ICE-SHEETS ARE GOOD BUT SLOW INDICATORS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND WE SHOULD NOTE THE PRESENT GLOBAL WARMING (AKA CLIMATE CHANGE) IN TERMS OF EARTH EONS/PERIODS IS SUPER FAST, YET IN TERMS OF A HUMAN LIFE, IT'S GOING AT A SLUGGISH PACE. 

SAY, THE "CLIMATE CHANGE" THAT WIPED THE DINOSAURS OUT OF THIS PLANET, TOOK NEAR ONE MILLION YEARS TO KILL THEM OFF ENTIRELY. SO WE CAN HOPE. WE'RE SMARTER THAN DINOSAURS. WE CAN ADAPT TO CHANGE... EVEN IF WE DO IT NOW WITHOUT NOTICING IT...

RECORD FLOODS, RECORD DROUGHTS, RECORD STORMS, RECORD DESTRUCTION BY TORNADOES, RECORD MELT IN THE HIMALAYAS, RECORD OCEANS TEMPERATURES — ALL HAVE NOT IMPACTED YET ON OUR HUMAN COMFORTS — EXCEPT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO CLEAN UP THE MUD AFTER SOME RIVER OVERFLOW... OR FIGHT ANOTHER BUSHFIRE BIGGER THAN THE LAST ONE, DESPITE THE BACK-BURNING...

YES, WE HAVE NOT FELT THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING YET, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN NEW DELHI WITH TEMPS ABOVE 50 DECREES CELSIUS... UNLESS YOU ARE A REEF VIEWING TOURIST OPERATOR AND THE CORALS HAVE BLEACHED...

AND IF YOU ARE A FARMER IN AUSTRALIA, YOU KNOW THAT DROUGHTS AND FLOODS ARE PART OF THE NORMAL... YOU'RE A WUSS IF YOU COMPLAIN THAT IT'S "GETTING WORSE" (BECAUSE IT IS)...

AND TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHAT WE DO NOW IN REGARD TO STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS WILL ONLY HAVE AN IMPACT IN 50 OR SO YEARS...

WE ALREADY HAVE RELEASED ENOUGH EXTRA WARMING GASES IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO GET TEMPERATURES OF SIX DEGREES ABOVE PRESENT AVERAGE... THE OTHER POINT THAT WE HAVE MADE ON THIS SITE IN THIS REGARD IS THAT INCREASES OF AVERAGE ISN'T HAPPENING UNIFORMLY...  TEMPERATURE INCREASE AROUND THE EQUATOR ARE LOWER THAN AT THE POLES (OF WHICH OF COURSE, THE NORTH POLE IS MELTING THE FASTEST, LEADING TO NORTHERN SEA ROUTES).

SO BY 2150, ONE CAN EXPECT TEMPERATURES HIGHER BY 3 DEGREES CELSIUS AT THE EQUATOR, 6 EXTRA DEGREES CELSIUS IN NORTHERN TEMPERATE REGIONS, 9 EXTRA DEGREES CELSIUS AT THE NORTH POLE, 4 to 5 EXTRA DEGREES CELSIUS AROUND THE SOUTHERN TEMPERATE REGIONS AND 12 EXTRA DEGREES CELSIUS IN THE ANTARCTIC.... BUT WE WILL BE ABLE TO COPE... SEAS WOULD HAVE ONLY RISEN BY 4.79 METRES IN 2150... NOBODY PRESENTLY ALIVE WILL NOTICE...
