   I’m glad everyone has bought into the climate issues. I’ve been listening to this since the early seventies. It has had many different names over the decades when it didn’t pan out. Live the high life now because we are told that by 2028 the planet will end as we know it. A little research might open peoples eyes. The only ones getting rich are the Bill Gates of the world.

   Meteorologists, Scientists Explain Why There Is ‘No Climate Emergency’More than 1,600 scientists and informed professionals signed the Global Climate Intelligence Group’s “World Climate Declaration.”

   There’s no climate emergency. And the alarmist messaging pushed by global elites is purely political. That’s what 1,808 scientists and informed professionals stated when they signed the Global Climate Intelligence Group’s “World Climate Declaration.”“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” the declaration begins. “Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

   Humanity only has a few years to act before the world may irreversibly plunge into an environmental catastrophe of global proportions, climate experts warned in a recent report. Their calls are muffled, however, by a ballast of dozens of past dramatic predictions that have failed to pan out.Environmental experts have been predicting upcoming doom for many decades. Most, though not all, of the prognostications involve climatic cataclysm that appears to be just around the corner, only to fizzle out as the deadline approaches.As the failed predictions pile up, climate experts appear to be more cautious in making their predictions too specific. The current general consensus among climate change proponents is that extreme weather events, such as droughts and storms, will become more prevalent or intense.The recently released short-form report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that unless carbon emissions are cut drastically and promptly, the planet will warm roughly an additional 1.1-2.4 degrees Celsius by 2100 (pdf). That would lead to “high” or “very high” risk of wildfire damage, permafrost degradation, biodiversity loss, dryland water scarcity, and tree mortality on the land, and loss of warm-water corals in the sea. Most of the severe risks are asserted with moderate or low confidence, meaning that underlying evidence is lacking or inconclusive.The full IPCC report hasn’t been released yet.One of the most famous climate experts, Michael Mann, criticized the IPCC for being “overly conservative” in predicting catastrophic consequences of climate change, “including ice sheet collapse, sea level rise, and the rise in extreme weather events,” Inside Climate News reported.But it’s been exactly these kinds of bold predictions that have undermined experts’ credibility in the past.Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg has collected some such failed predictions in his book, “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor
