The Climate Decade that Was: Failed Predictions, Tour De Paris, and the Gretas

WUWT:

by Vijay Jayaraj

As we step into a new decade, here’s a look at the climate drama that just ended.

The 2010s were dominated by the failure of doomsday prophecies, the adoption of a fantasy climate agreement, unexpected weather trends, and the beginning of the climate emergency cult movement that reminded many of the overpopulation hype of the 1970s and 1980s.
Al Gore Prophecies

Al Gore’s legacy of lies continued to spill into the second decade of this century. Contrary to his predictions in the famous climate documentary An Inconvenient Truth, polar bear populations increased, the Arctic and Antarctic remained relatively unaffected, and no major coastal economy was threatened by rising sea levels.

Gore would have had nightmares when the Canadian authorities in 2019 pondered culling polar bears because of their excess numbers caused trouble for residents in Nunavut.

No Snow Australia

Australia may be embroiled in historic wildfires—mostly caused by arson—right now. But climate scientists were caught red handed when their predictions of a snow-free Australia failed by massive proportions in the past decade. read more

  1. “The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from US Consulate at Bergen Norway.

    Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate condition and hitherto unheard-of temperature in the Arctic zone.

    Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
    Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many point well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

    Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

    Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.”

    This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported and published in The Washington Post.
    The warmists’ predictions have not gotten any better.

  2. I predict this decade it will be more of the same nonsense. The difference is the doomsayers will get away with more of it by censoring ever more common sense. Utopia wasn’t built in a day and stupidity will not stop until the end goal is accomplished. Another decade will cement a consensus of 99.8925% of all scientists that man, and white conservative man alone, creates all known, and unknown future, climate catastrophes. Tesla will be given additional government money and eventually be absorbed by a government that forces you to buy one and “buy back” your ICE vehicle for pennies. You won’t be able to actually drive it, it will drive itself with a government approved travel and charging schedule. It will be introduced with some ridiculous name such as, “Freedom to travel act,” passed on new years eve 11:59PM.

  3. Standing on a soapbox to proclaim gloom, despair and agony gives some people a special sense of purpose in life. No matter how many times they are wrong, they’ll always comeback with a new prediction of impending doom — and it’s all your fault, you unbelieving denier, you! I cannot even imagine how desperately unhappy those people must be. What a sorry way to live a life.

    Doom! DOOM, I say! We’re all gonna DIIIIEEE!!!

    (Well, we are… just not from global warming)

  4. Liberals and atheists are perpetually depressed, so they have to attack windmills with lances to try to make themselves feel better.

    If you have a target to attack, like white males, and go ahead and attack it, you get applauded by other depressed and miserable leftists and atheists. It makes them feel good for a few moments. If the cause is proven to be nonsense, they’ll find another one. Thus, overpopulation, starvation, and new ice ages are replaced by global warming.

  5. @ Dr. Hickenlooper

    Yes, but 0 is a number, an integer. Before the universe, there was zero. Zero is a starting point, followed by 1, then 2, etc.

    Phooey on what the mathematicians say. I say 2020 is the start of the new decade.

  6. If ’01 is new decade, then ’00 is inbetwixt decades.

    Year 1 to 9 was the first decade.. That would make a decade 9 years long.
    Like centuries, as to why this is the 21st century.
    But how were centuries and decades defined when it was BC and why skip 0? At birth you aren’t 1 except in China.
    I see the rational, but the anomaly is the first decade because 0 was skipped. If we skipped it today then it’s already 2021, ie, a new decade. There’s not much point to carry the anomaly forward 202 decades when we realize the first decade was shortened, ripped off on year 0.

  7. Oh no – some of the commentors above seem to be saying that climate change will make the number 0 disappear. That means that we are all doomed either 9 or 11 years from now.

  8. Summer before last I was at Big Thompson Glacier, where a libtard USFS ranger was espousing on the horrors of global warming.
    Not 30 feet behind her is a sign telling about how the glacier has gone from over 1400′ thick to nearly disappearing in the last 2 million years, numerous times.
    So how did that happen with no people or industry warming things up?
