We've been hosed by Greta's End of the World Prediction

she will not answer

Like Earl won't answer that he got duped by a right-wing source?

@mott-the-hoople said

Because she would have to admit she is gullible. The whole reason I asked.

Unsurprisingly gullible right wingers have been duped again:

Not duped at all.

"In 2018, Greta shared an article by gritpost.com, in which it was detailed that Harvard University professor James Anderson had warned that humanity might not exist if the use of fossil fuel does not stop within five years.

She shared the tweet by saying:

"A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.""

That statement is not saying humanity will end in five years. It refers to scientists warning of a point of no return should the earth's temperature increase by 1.5 degree Celsius.

If that happens, scientists warn climate conditions will be catastrophic for humans and also irreversible. Here's an article from NASA on the matter:

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2865/a-degree-of-concern-why-global-temperatures-matter/

In other words, unless we do something soon, man-made climate change will result in an irreversible chain of events that may lead to humanity's downfall.

I already posted a whole series of 'point of no return's, all of which have been surpassed. The problem is that once past the 'point of no return"all the greenie control freakism becomes redundant, and if there's one thing they can't abide, it's not being the center of attention. They have to keep kicking the PONR a bit further down the road to keep pushing, prodding, ordering everyone about.

Because once we're past that point it's all on, energy production, prosperity, wealth production in the race to adapt to their supposed doomsday scenario. And all their stumbling blocks, progress throttling regulation goes in the bin.

Ok then, since we ( planet earth ) have not only not "decreased" fossil fuel use, yet alone ceased to use it, but we have in fact increased its use, how long do we have left.?? Just a question, yes? you do realize that we have failed absolutely to "stop" using fossil fuels. Or was it in fact as simple as yet another failed scientific prediction.

Surely they are becoming just a tad tedious to all but the nutters and the young students that do not know any better. ( the indoctrinated class )

How long do we have,? or can no-one answer. I have a holiday to plan, flight to catch and all that.

Are you saying we are beyond a point of no return so the world will be over soon and there is nothing that can be done about it? That would mean there is nothing we can do to save the world anymore. Has that occurred to you yet?

"In other words, unless we do something soon, man-made climate change will result in an irreversible chain of events that may lead to humanity's downfall."

You clueless dolt. You said we are at the point of no return. That means you cannot do anything anymore, so why are you contradicting yourself?

The more time passes the more severe natural disasters like flooding, forest fires tornados and death from extreme heat become. Every year severe weather events are breaking records. The vast majority of scientists all over the world believe that point of no return is imminent.

Your issue seems to be that because we may not have reached that point yet, this is proof to you that what scientists have warned about for many years will never happen. Right? That unless we are currently at that catastrophic point of no return you will not believe climate scientists.

Correct?

I never said that. Quote my exact words if I did.

I'm waiting.

Correct?

More people die from cold than heat.

My point is that the 'point of no return[tm] keeps moving because every time it's reached the catastrophists become redundant, they have to keep moving it to try and maintain their relevance.

23 years back, Guam had 5 typhoons in the space of 3 years. You should have heard the hand wringing, teeth gnashing catastrophists wailing 'Oh woe, woe, woe, this is the way it's going to be now, global warming, sook, sook, point of no return, boohoo"

They just had their first typhoon in 20 years this month.

Greta said five years, not 1.5 degree Celsius.

Again: year after year records are being broken for heat waves, tornados, wildfires and flooding, with continually rising death tolls. That is clear evidence you can't deny. We are actively experiencing the very climate situations scientists have been warning about.

She didn't say humanity will end in five years, she was saying a solution needs to be reached within 5 years. Your right-wing sources are being dishonest.
