Michael Mann says we have less than a decade to save the planet from global warming.

“We have less than a decade now to bring carbon emissions down globally by 50% if we are to remain on a path that keeps warming below that, sort of, catastrophic one-and-a-half degree Celsius, three degree Fahrenheit warming of the planet where the things that we’re starting to see now become much worse and we get extremes that we haven’t seen before”

In 2006, Al Gore said we had a decade to save the planet from global warming.

“unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return, Gore said.”

In 1989, the United Nations said we had a decade to save the planet from global warming.

“UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ?eco- refugees,? ? threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control. As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.”

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

– Matthew 7:15-20

Barack Obama recently purchased a home worth $19 million on the beach in Martha’s Vineyard, and he is installing a huge propane tank. He also owns a mansion on the beach in Hawaii.  There are several things which can be concluded from this.

1. He isn’t worried about sea level rise
2. He is relying on fossil fuels rather than wind and solar.
3. He is concerned that the energy infrastructure isn’t stable.

“The select board approved a request for a 2,500-gallon commercial propane tank for 79 Turkeyland Cove Road in Katama — owned by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. “We’ve never had a private propane tank come to us,” said select board member Arthur Smadbeck, with select board member Michael Donaroma noting a private-residence propane tank is typically a fraction of the quantity being requested. “

“HISTORIC STORMS.

No Greater Tendency to Destructive Storms at Present Than in Former Periods.

The rapid succession and destructive results of the severe storms that have visited the United States this year have provoked popular comment and created serious alarm. It is claimed by many, who could not have studied the subject attentively, that in the present generation there is an increased tendency to these violent atmospheric disturbances. To dissipate this idea is the purpose of this paper.”

“Surat, in the East Indies, had several thousand of its inhabitants killed in a terrible cyclone on the 22d of April, 1782.

Dienpole, in Monravia, was totally destroyed in a cyclone on the 30th of May of the same year.

On the 17th of June, the same season, immense damage was done all over America, particularly on the New England coast.”

In Some Places Seals Are Finding Waters Too Hot, Says Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The Arc‘tie ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarce and in some places the seals are finding the waters too hot, according to a report to the commerce department today from Consul Iffi, at Bergen Norway. .

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Artic zone, exploration expeditions reporting that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes: .

“LONDON, Feb. 18. 1925 —The latest investigations confirm the theory that the arctic climate has changed considerably in recent years. The temperature of the Gulf Stream, which in. 1925, was higher than fn the previous year, shows: an average increase of from four to five degrees centigrade since 1900 when it was first measured by the explorer Nansen.

“FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1939

Scientists have confirmed the fact that the Arctic regions around Spitzbergen are warming up at the rate of approximately one degree every two years.

Since 1910. when observations first started in those regions, the cumulative rise of winter temperature has amounted to nearly 16 degrees”

“If the Antarctic ice regions and the major Greenland icecap should re-duce at the rate of the present melting, he said, the oceanic surfaces would rise to catastrophic proportions. People living in the lowlands along the shores would be inundated. Temperatures in the Arctic had increased 10deg Fahrenheit since 1900, an “enormous” rise from the scientific standpoint.”

“Since 1910, for instance, the mean winter temperature in Spitzbergen is up 14 degrees F. “If this goes on,” Mr. Murphy points out, “the Arctic Ocean will be open the year round” before the close of the twentieth century.”
