‘‘The Brisbane floods will bevery little compared to a 7-metre sea level rise,’’ Karoly says. Tourist attractions? The Great Barrier Reef will die. There will be no skiing industry in Australia — he says any snow will ‘‘fall and melt’’.
In a recent blog posting, David Spratt, co-author of Climate Code Red, drew the threads together on the implications of 4-degree warming. The world would be warmer than during any part of the period in which modern humans evolved, he wrote, and the rate of climate change would be faster than any previously experienced by humans.
Three degrees may be the ‘‘tipping point’’, leaving us powerless to intervene as planetary temperatures soar and, quoting NASA climate scientist James Hansen, there will be ‘‘no return within the lifetime of any generation that can be imagined, and the trip will exterminate a large fraction of species on the planet’’. Half the world would be uninhabitable. Ocean ecosystems and food chains would collapse.
‘‘And we are talking about how we might adapt to a 4-degree warmer world,’’ Spratt wrote. ‘‘Have we gone mad?’’
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I don’t know about “we” but Spratt is as mad as can be. No doubt about it.
I assume his body’s core temperature is 4 degrees above average and he’s hallucinating.
I wish they’d make up their mind.. alarmists were saying snow would be a thing of the past, then they say AGW actually causes snow, now they say it’ll be a thing of the past again? CO2 is great at changing its mind, apparently..
Well you know, as the lill winded one was trying to say about red herrings. lol, since they can’t get their lumpy farts together, they’ll throw out a lumpy fart load of red herring to try and get the dogs off their track.

Have we gone mad? We surely have…
…and CO2 and alarmists will soon be things of the past
