Warning of imminent danger from man-made climate change wasn’t enough for climate alarmists. Now, a new study has warned of 10,000 years of destruction or more if action isn’t taken against fossil fuels.
Left-wing site Common Dreams and The Guardian promoted the study published in Nature Climate Change saying that policy actions “in the next couple of years will have ‘profound impacts on global climate, ecosystems and human societies’ for the next 10,000 years and beyond ...”
"Most of the policy debate surrounding the actions needed to mitigate and adapt to anthropogenic climate change has been framed by observations of the past 150 years as well as climate and sea-level projections for the twenty-first century," the report stated. "The focus on this 250-year window, however, obscures some of the most profound problems associated with climate change."
The report claims that if carbon dioxide emissions continue at the present rate, “peak committed temperatures will rise 3-7.5 times as fast as the global average.”
According to the report, maintaining a 2-degree global temperature target would still lead to sea level rise of 25 meters, worsen ocean acidification, damage coral reefs and more. The Guardian said that dramatic sea level rise would remain for thousands of years “if today’s burning of coal, oil and gas is not curbed.”
A 2-degree target was the goal of the recent UN climate conference in Paris and embraced by activists in the news media, including CNN columnist John Sutter’s and his CNN project “Two Degrees.” The Guardian also has an advocacy campaign against fossil fuels: “Keep It In the Ground.”
The authors of the latest study aimed to sound alarm about the perceived dangers of human-induced climate change and concluded, "The next few decades offer a brief window of opportunity to minimize large-scale and potentially catastrophic climate change that will extend longer than the entire history of human civilization thus far."
Former Vice President has made many similar predictions about a “point of no return.” Ten years ago, he warned that mankind only had a decade to solve the “planetary emergency” it faced or there would be more floods, dramatic sea level rise forcing mass migrations, worsening storms, droughts and other climate-driven crises.
