A recent meeting of climate experts in Bonn, West Germany, produced the unanimous conclusion that the change in global weather patterns poses a severe threat to agriculture that could lead to major crop failures and mass starvation.

Gaia is allowed to change her mind (not including the female clause), just like Allah…

Greenpeace be with you.
Thanks God (or to be more precise Hansen)
global warming came around and saved us from mass starvation
and it will save us even more.
(though some crazy conspiracy theorists claim that neither warming nor cooling
were ever a real thing but made up by those who were so powerfull to give a nobody like Hansen the chance to speak in front of the congress.
(and his sabotage of the air conditioning reminds me of Edison killing an elephant to prove how dangerous Teslas AC was compared to DC)
Yes, the ‘electricity wars’ between Edison & Tesla (or really Edison & Westinghouse) are a fascinating part of engineering history! Thomas Edison was a staunch promoter of DC power, while Tesla and his boss George Westinghouse saw the advantages of using AC power for large-scale use. Edison arranged to electrocute a circus elephant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VD0Q5FeF_wU and also pushed for the *electric chair* …. in an attempt to scare the public. Ironically, it was Edison’s DC power project in New York City which came down in a blizzard (1888), electrocuting numerous people. Westinghouse ultimately won the contract to light up the Chicago World’s Fair with AC power, and so won the war. Edison was a big-time self-promoter… and to be fair, so was Tesla
Interesting stuff
They obviously hadn’t heard of ACDC back then
Australian humor? Hells bells…
Until recently, GE was the longest running company on the Dow.
This is known as “bad luck”.
Replaced by Walgreens no less.
I’m owed a little pension from GE someday. Last year they offered to buy it out. Perhaps I should have accepted. Knowing what I know today, I would.
Yeah, I remember seeing that temperature chart being published in many magazines and newspapers.
About three weeks ago, Tony noted that the weather forecast for the Arctic was for cooler than average over the next few weeks.
Got to thinking about the source.
Then was hit by a 4/10 “Eureka!” moment.
“The Weather Network” 14-Day Forecast;
Tuktoyaktuk
Also known as “Tuk”.
Much cooler than normal on the Daily highs and somewhat cooler on the lows.
For the next two weeks, which will be getting close to the end of the “melt” season.
Later Schneider became a big cheerleader for M@nn-Made Global Warming. Another phony-baloney media whore following the latest public fad.
You are too hard on him, gregole.
Schneider learned that he was right to worry about starvation, for himself and his family, if he didn’t change his mind. And the atmosphere at NCAR would have been icy …
I believe it was the 1977 change in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation from the negative cycle (cooling) to the positive cycle (warming) that converted the Little Ice Agers to AGW faithful
Certainly Walter Orr Roberts was aware of this, so when the PDO numbers flipped, so did the forecasts. Schneider was just along for the ride, as he had been previously with Carl Sagan and the Nuclear Winter gang.
“Double ethical bind” my ass
+1
Bingo! We have a winner!
Schneider’s Double Ethical Bind slide show:
https://archive.epa.gov/ncer/publications/web/pdf/schneider.pdf
He should have made a progressive “Double Ethical Bind” flick out of his PowerPoint, collect millions and go for a Nobel.
That’s great. Using a fictitious scene to prove an imaginary one.
I want to adopt the phrase. Is it cultural appropriation?
Well the Polar bear icon isn’t working out so they go for Santa.
So arrogant in their ignorance that despite the massive evidence accumulated down through the years they deny that Kris Kringle is so far advanced that no weather nor change in climate can disrupt his operations or keep him from his appointed rounds.
Santa must keep quite a pile of coal on hand to put in their stockings.
nah-there are no polar bears because they all
were already killed by global warming :)
That’s not science, that’s the EU party line. ‘Nuff said.
