Actually, once the heat islands are accounted for, the temperature increase is roughly halved. Even Obama’s climate adviser admits there’s less than claimed.

Actually, once the heat islands are accounted for, the temperature increase is roughly halved. Even Obama’s climate adviser admits there’s less than claimed. Or Lomborg. Or go back and read Paul Ehrlich, the Club of Rome, or further back Malthus. These folks aren’t Cassandra. They are snake oil salesmen. Simply observe those who are profiting most from promoting the hysteria: Gore, Kerry, Gates, Klaus Schwab, et al. Or notice that those screaming the loudest live in luxury, travel on private planes, etc., e.g. DiCaprio. Everyone who buys into this simply increases the mass of useful idiots to the detriment of all. Now several years into retirement, I have the advantage of having watched this play out for more than 50 years. Hopefully, those of you who are much younger will avoid drinking the kool aid and selling yourselves into slavery.
- satiric 4y agoI think part of the problem might be that the biggest numbers get the most publicity. So if one person says it's +1 degree and one person says it's +2 degrees over the same time period, the more dire prediction will win. So it's hard to get a realistic estimate because you mostly just hear "it could be as bad as ###" and "it could only be ###, that's not too bad".
