“Scientists tell us we have a 10-year window — if even that — before catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable and irreversible. The threat is real, and time is not on our side.Facts, as John Adams said, are stubborn things. Here are a few you need to know: Atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels have risen 38% in the industrial era, from 280 to 385 parts per million (ppm). Scientists have warned that anything above 450 ppm — a warming of 2 degrees Celsius — will result in an unacceptable risk of catastrophic climate change.
The truth is that the threat we face is not an abstract concern for the future. It is already upon us and its effects are being felt worldwide, right now. Scientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013. Not in 2050, but four years from now.”

We Can’t Ignore the Security Threat from Climate Change | HuffPost Impact
Well, there you have it. We did it! Horse Face The Script Reader warned us and we didn’t listen; we crossed the ‘tipping point’ in 2019. Since we’ve crossed it, there’s no turning back and nothing to do – no need to buy Teslas, no need to turn the heat down, no need to throw ketchup at priceless paintings, glue ourselves to the middle of streets, dye our hair pink or enact any draconian rules to try to save the planet. So, let’s pop some corn, drizzle it with melted butter and salt and get a front row seat and watch the end of the world as it happens.
And behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink. For tomorrow we die.
–Isaiah 22:33
Isaiah 22:13. I fat-finger many times myself.
You are correct, Terry. Thanks!
I’m looking for help. I have just started my storefront tee-shirt shop. Its intent is to help popularize the ideas we find here at RealClimateScience. com and subvert the power elite by spreading the information to the population. Every person who buys a shirt will become a billboard of enlightenment. I would also like to equipment each of these persons with some information that they can use when someone says, “What the fuck do you think you are doing, you idiot!”
My first shirt is “Warm is Good” and it shows the temperature anomaly over the last 450,000 years. I think you were the one who posted a link that I followed to the graph of this. Is it possible for you to redirect me to that site, so I can gather any information that might explain the meaning of the shirt better than I can off the top of my head. I plan my second tee shirt to be
“Temp ? ƒ(CO2)” and use the chart that Tony posts of the temp vs CO2 over 500 million years. I assume that these items are not proprietary. If any are, I would like to know right away.
Don’t ask me how this will turn out. Pricing, customer service, and quality are all unknown. If anyone wants to help with the explanation write-ups, they would be welcomed.
This is also a problem, proofreading and consistency of the use of the ASCII symbol set. The ? is supposed to be the ? . I will run a test shirt before I put it up for adoption.
It just refuses to put in the “not equal” symbol.

Conrad, I believe the Vostok ice cores proxies are what you’re thinking of….

Concerning a copyright, Ole Humlum of the University of Oslo, Norway may be the owner. He may be flattered and love your idea. But I like the way you think and it is probably good to check.
Plenty of people have graphed it. Here’s a DDG page of them. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vostok+graph&t=ftsa&atb=v168-1&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
I especially like his, with that red box on the far right (our Holocene).
A slight change of search words brings up other options

Thanks! That is the one I was looking for, Vostok ice cores. Also found it in one of my books. Pretty solid source. I can look it up to formulate an explanation to go along with the shirt for those brave enough to wear it. I figure that even if no one buys a shirt, they will still be exposed to the information just by perusing the store and associated website. We’ll see how far I get.
YW!
FWIW, maybe to spur more of your own ideas – here’s a website of six pages x 8 messages I think you may find interesting: https://wideawake.clothing/en-us/collections/anti-new-world-order-nwo-t-shirts?page=6
Good luck with it! 🙂
Thanks I like their shirts. I might just give them my design and see if they want to sell it.
Mr Kerry, if you claim to be presenting facts, could we have at least one citation, so that your assertions may be examined critically. ‘scientists say’ is in the same category as ‘it is a well known fact’, or ‘some bloke down the pub said’. But, of course, if you present your sources, you run the risk of refutation.
he has never claimed a fact since he got his 3rd purple heart for catching his Johnson in his navy dress ice cream parlor outfit
Kerry has the very same prediction skills as Al Gore.
Probably because they read from the same script.
And Open Borders,artificial viruses ,fake vaccines,forced injections,blackmailable Epstein Island politicians,a weaponized intelligence and justice system, a corrupt Zombie president and a bunch of politicians who clap by command like seals every 60 seconds to help him survive a SOTU speach ain’t no security threat,
but a mild day in march is.
And how comes that catastrophies always start with round numbers? (450 ppm,2 degrees),
and where exactly is the evidence that 450 ppm and/or 2 degrees will result in unacceptable risks of a catastrophic climate change.
What exactly does happen at 450 ppm and + 2 degrees that will not happen at 449 ppm and 1.9 degrees.
And how comes that the people who start wars all around the world with lies
are the same ones who are obsessed with saving humans all around the world
from climate change and viruses?
Or are climate change and vaccines just another form of warfare based on lies and false flags (artificial viruses ) ?
“WE Cannot Ignore the Security Threat from Climate” Alarmism. Finally, a valid assessment. Alarmist policies are:
Wrecking electricity grids and causing energy poverty.
Wrecking the auto, industrial metals & other businesses in Europe & North America.
Making Europe depend more on Russia for crude oil & natural gas.
Moving jobs, manufacturing and service businesses to China.
Overwhelming the United States & some European countries with unskilled immigrants.
Making western governments, financial service businesses and social media more authoritarian.
Wrecking confidence in science.
Alarmists must intend the above. All the adverse effects could be anticipated before implementation. Alarmists refuse to change their policies after the adverse effects actually developed.
All those things you list are “Our democracy” that Biden is worried about losing to Trump.
And, think they ran Lurch for president, and he got nearly half of the vote. How stupid are Democrats, really?
The Democrat base has changed from blue-collar workers to literally brain DEAD deceased voters, phantom residents of empty addresses, fake mail in ballots, art history majors, sociology majors, xxx studies majors, government employees, inner-city welfare recipients with ZERO arithmetic & grammatical skills, The View audience, The Morning Joe audience, climate alarmists, those too timid to challenge the above …
Fascinating how fear sells.
We all know we are going to die and it can happen at any moment. Drive, fly, eat, smoke, drink, drugs,… we do unhealthy things daily knowing some day they will likely cause our demise but we don’t throw soup on artwork to raise awareness of those things. Our ancestors have survived in all climates because we are sapient.
“Most of the people who have grabbed hold of climate change and greenhouse gases, pollution, oil dependency – they have another motive, and their motive is to attain the appearance of virtue without having actually done anything virtuous.”
“We’re told cars are wasteful. Wasteful of what? Oil did a lot of good sitting in the ground for millions of years… And we’re told cars cause pollution. A hundred years ago city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. What kind of pollution do you want? Would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine?”
