Breitbart: Evidence is mounting that “tipping points in the Earth system” because of climate change could be more likely than was thought, “potentially committing the world to long-term irreversible changes,” warns a fascinating new article in Nature.
“In our view,” assert the article’s 7 authors, “the consideration of tipping points helps to define that we are in a climate emergency and strengthens this year’s chorus of calls for urgent climate action — from schoolchildren to scientists, cities and countries.”
Warming “must be limited to 1.5 °C,” even if this requires higher costs to society,” they declare, because this “requires an emergency response.”
In their latest effort to scare the world into taking drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the authors propose a possibly devastating intersection of climate tipping points that could result in “abrupt and irreversible climate changes,” insisting that the very nature of this possibility is “too risky to bet against.”
The writers are careful to couch their prophecies in the conditional tense, never asserting that a given disaster will happen, but always that it could happen. Nonetheless, they believe that by painting a dire enough picture of what could happen, people will realize that the potential loss would be unsustainable and thus be moved to make great sacrifices to avoid it.
Anyone who has followed the climate change debate is familiar with the nature of such tipping points, which include ice collapse (which the authors recognize has “occurred repeatedly in the past”) and various “biosphere boundaries” (such as coral bleaching, permafrost thaw, and “ocean heatwaves”).
(As an aside, one cannot help wondering how something that has occurred “repeatedly” in the past can be called irreversible, but such is the nature of climate change rhetoric.) MORE
These schoolchildren, scientists, cities and countries *could* kiss my ass. I am not going bankrupt and freezing to death to save a planet that doesn’t need my help.
Well, Rots-A-Ruck controlling the sun dipshitz!!
They never seem to couple the environmental harm being done in this country to the massive immigration policies they also push. You don’t have to look hard to see it, these people coming from a culture that views the land around them as a garbage can.
When it comes to global warming why if they are so sure about it won’t they submit to fair and open debates? Because they get destroyed every time!
The climate whining and bullshit tipping points were reached long ago. You’ve lost the plot Nature.
So what do they intend to do about China, India and the “emerging” countries that are the real ones responsible for all that increasing carbon based fuel use they seem to fear so much?
If a thing is “irreversible,” does that not imply that it is also “long lasting?”
They say they want to control our climate; like ‘gun control,’ I suspect it’s more about control than guns or climates.
Oh goody, another tipping point. Can’t get enough of them
I don’t know whether the readers know of the “tulip craze?” It is now considered the height of stupidity for its day.
“Climate Change” is our “tulip craze.”
We will be mocked for centuries!
…and justly so.
Just sayin’.
Brought to you by a bunch of Dipsyhits who can’t even tell you what the weather is tomorrow with any real accuracy. You really want to know what these clowns are up to? Follow the money.
Prove it.
Don’t computer model it – PROVE it!
Understand the difference?
Show me incontrovertible proof of this wild-ass proposition.
Explain (by scientific “proofs”) how the Penultimate Glacial Period (200,000 to 100,000 BC) came and went.
Explain (by scientific “proofs”) how the Last Glacial Maximum (50,000 to 15,000 BC) came and went.
Explain (by scientific “proofs”) how the Medieval Warm Period (950 to 1250 AD) came and went.
What had technology to do with them?
What were the sources and amounts of carbon dioxide?
How did motor vehicles influence climate?
How did these climate anomalies “rectify” themselves without the assistance of Global taxation and oppression?
But they can’t because it’s a hoax.
A huge, international, money-grubbing hoax.
Only morons believe moronic shit.
izlamo delenda est …
They’re about as accurate as all the nuts who’ve been predicting that the Rapture is real and coming soon all of my life and it ain’t happened yet.
This is what happens when we elect Boehners, McCain’s a d McConnells. We have lost our young to fascists.
Don’t worry they have a backup plan! When this earth is left hot, water-less and inhospitable due to climate change they are going to hire that flim-flam electric car Guru to build enough rockets to fly the earths entire population to another planet that is hot, water-less and inhospitable!
Ok OK OK OOOK!!!
I give up. Have the auctioneer come to my place, liquidate everything I got, drain my accounts including retirement accounts and put that money to saving the climate! Then will you leave me alone? I’ve given everything to the cause.
Then please quantify that. I want to know, for all my assets, what I’ve contributed. That shouldn’t be too much to ask for. Did I help lower the temperature 0.0000000001 or 0.0000000002 degrees? Or less? Or did I just offset Algore by 0.00000001kg/CO2/month? Or is it more or less? I want a goddamn receipt so I can rub it in all the faces of everyone who didn’t give everything. Oh wait, I still need to know where to go for the assisted suicide.
False science is replete with terms like “could have, may be, possibly, might have, conceivably”…all mush words that give them a way out if their prophesies turn out to be false.
You find words like that in just about every article on some new “discovery” in evolution, as another example. Now we have those weasel words from climate change mongers.
Science is no longer a science, but an industry, whose workers are school kids, media whores, politicians, actors, and various other yakking heads. The product is lies and false prophesies.
I guess the staff of Nature, better… ABANDON SHIP!!! EJECT-EJECT-EJECT!!!
Set sail NOW… for the NEXT available planet!!! 😆
100% BULLSHIT
When they stop fudging the data points we can talk about the climate. (That is, if there is nothing else to talk about).
All you need to know summary of AGW:

…the Earth has been everywhere from molten hot to so cold it has had glaciers down to Kentucky.
…so tell me, climate alarmists who evidently don’t believe God is in control, just what temperature is the “right” temperature, and how did you determine it?
….even without God, which is ridiculous, your “system” is never any one thing, and has varied greatly with or without Man.
And there’s not a damn thing you can DO about it.
So quit stealing from only the Western nations and get a REAL job, maybe in China which has full Government control right down to your Facebook page and a LOT more polluting humans in its charge, so it MUST be an environmentalists wet dream. How’s that working out?

…I see. Just like every OTHER nation with complete Govenment control.
…and THIS you want for US…
Never believe the climate cultists.
What about the risk that by taking drastic action you trigger another tipping point not yet considered that has even more dire consequences? Such as electing a socialist a President?
Call me when Guam tips over.
Ugh, gee, my subscription ran out last month.
Observe the maps of the areas they say will be inundated.
Then observe the maps of the land that will be made farmable if that bullshit theory is right. One will see much more land made habitable than is lost to oceans, proving a warmer planet can provide for more humans.
Another thing, the USA leads the world in emissions reduction. Everybody else is way, way worse. So if the world is a rowboat, the USA is the only guy rowing.
So why do you enviroweenies keep screwing with the only guy rowing the boat? Go pester India. They won’t kill you like the Chi-coms.
And..
Tipping point? Point of no return? Could we ruin the Earth?
How about every single Life After People episode declaring with the finality of Moses that only Hoover Dam and a few huge concrete edifices will survive ten thousand years without us. About as long as we have started pretending to have better sense than the rest of the animals.
So yeah, I ain’t buying.
Judging by historical records of Ice Ages we are due to have a lot of land open up. Right down to the continental shelf.
^^^ Hand me a nuther large tube of Black Caucus Maxine. I gotta keep sealing up the leaks to Guam from tipping over!!
Not one single climate alarmist ACTS like there’s a crisis. Until THEY all give up their polluting lifestyles – I’m talking to you, Al Gore and Michael Mann – I don’t believe a word they say about climate, and I refer you to the Rules of Sewage:

Donot forget to check around a closed screen door.

I’ll pony up as soon as the government wins the war on drugs, or poverty, or education, or cancer, or Alzheimer’s, etc., etc., etc!!!
Oh wait…not one success in the last 100 years but you still claim you can control the weather?
Methinks they’re full of shiff.
Since at least 1970 we have had climate doom predictions about a decade out. That is about 50 years of bald-faced lies.
Hey climate change morons, go kill yourselves to end your carbon footprint, otherwise you are clearly liars who do not believe your own BS.
It doesn’t matter what we do, the earth, as a planet, will survive. Nukes, bio, poisons, the earth will continue to wobble in its orbit around the sun.
Now us people, that’s another matter. We DO have the capabilities of killing ourselves off to extinction.
So who or what are these GloBull EnviroNazis trying to BS protect? The planet earth? Or themselves?
What a bunch’a NIMBYs.
