Unless the sun is on the verge of emitting more solar radiation or the earth's orbit around the sun changes geometry it is only physically possible to raise the average temperature of earth's atmosphere 7 degrees C by increasing the CO2 concentration to 150,000 ppm. We are currently at 415 ppm.

In the geologic history it is estimated that highest CO2 concentration likely hit 6,000–10,000 ppm about 500–600 million years ago.

So judging by that graph it was much warmer for millions of years before humans were even a thing. Looks to me like the earth is coming out of an ice age and getting back to normal.

We should believe this because of all the previous climate predictions that have been fulfilled.

Wait, reverse that because exactly zero of their predictions have been correct.

What is YOUR point? Is sea level static? Don’t cite some BS report. And my point is simply that coastal cities may flood in the future because sea level is not static. And it likely has little to nothing to do with man made anything. Don’t give me your oil field canal BS.

The entire profession of climate science has been corrupted by grifters.

I wish climate scientist would learn the nuances of boiling water before making long term climate predictions.

Not to worry. My Oak tree is showing signs that 2205 will be the beginning of a major cooling trend.

Thank god we have politicians at the helm to solve/fix a problem that’s existed on this planet for billions of years.

One thing we can all count on, is that politicians will fly on their private jets, stay in in penthouse suites, and ride in limos to attend conferences where they try to figure out how to get YOU to reduce YOUR carbon footprint.

Again, in August 2022, Biden signed into law a $390 billion dollar climate bill. So why do these catastrophic reports keep coming out? Is it time already for another $390 billion??

Imagine believing you can predict the future decades from now with a computer model.

When will these people be right in their assessment?

They’ve been warning us since I was a child long long ago and here we are- doing fine

Just for the heck of it I downloaded the earthly average solar irradiance by year data from the university of Colorado and it is quite revealing how general temperature trends follow. For example when solar flux was low we were in what was considered the Little Ice Age (17th and 18th centuries). At it's highest peak during the 1930's we were in Midwest Dust Bowl conditions.

It's almost like solar flux correlates perfectly with earthly temperatures rather than CO2. If I were a serious prognosticator of global temperatures, solar flux is a MUCH better predicator of earthly temperature than CO2 concentrations.

I say it every time I see an article like this; when elite start selling off their expensive ocean front property, then maybe I will believe this.

That is also assuming Space Aliens or a Rogue Meteorite doesn't blow us up first.

Like George Carlin said years ago, The planet is fine, the people are fricked. We are just another failed mutation. The planet has been through recurring ice ages, plate tech tonics, magnetic reversals, volcanoes, etc... the planet is a self correcting system

Even if this wasn't al crock of shite this will supposedly happen 100 years after my grandchildren are dead? We will be in Star Trek territory, we can just warp to another planet. LOL
