These weird people are once again attempting to enact a Simpsons episode against us.
At the COP27 conference in Egypt, delegates have at their disposal decades of research into warming trajectories published by the U.N. climate science agency to inform their decisions.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produces reports roughly every five years that represent global scientific consensus on climate change, its causes and its impact. Last year’s report tackled the main drivers of global warming and the core elements of climate science.
That was followed by two major reports this year – one in February addressing how the world will need to adapt to climate impacts, from rising seas to dwindling wildlife, and another in April on ways to mitigate climate-warming emissions.
Here are some of the takeaways from those reports:
HUMANS UNEQUIVOCALLY TO BLAME
Last year’s report on the physical basis for climate change unequivocally blamed humans for rising temperatures.
It also said climate change was dangerously close to spinning out of control.
Previously rare weather extremes are becoming more common, and some regions are more vulnerable than others.
For the first time, the report’s authors called for urgent action to curb methane. Until now, the IPCC had focused on carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.
With time running out to prevent runaway climate change, the authors said it was worth looking into the benefits and drawbacks of geoengineering, or large-scale interventions, such as injecting particles into the atmosphere to block out solar radiation.
The report said the world’s nations, including the wealthiest, needed to start preparing for climate impacts and adapting to a warmer world.
…
Millions of people face poverty and food insecurity in the coming years, as climate change hits crops and water supplies and threatens to disrupt trade and labour markets.
* The daunting forecast for the world’s poor reignited calls for a “Loss and Damage” fund through which rich nations would compensate for costs incurred by poor countries from climate-related disasters.
…
‘NOW OR NEVER’, INDIVIDUAL ACTION MATTERS
It’s “now or never,” one report co-chair said in releasing findings that show that only drastic emissions cuts in the next few decades would prevent warming from spiralling out of control.
They are continuing to roll out children to whine about this stupid hoax.
They don’t present evidence of their theories. They just give you fake graphs and then send insolent girlchildren to denounce you as evil.
My speech to leaders at #COP27 yesterday was pretty clear. Here it is in each of the six official @UN languages:
Stop lying
كف عن الكذب
停止说谎
Arrêtez de mentir
прекрати врать

A billionaire emits a million times more greenhouse gases than the average person, according to Oxfam.
We know which ones we need to hold accountable for the climate crisis. https://t.co/9Yge9NCuF6

On Finance Day at #COP27 I asked Japanese bank @mufgbk_official why they continue to fund fossil fuel projects like the East African Crude Oil Pipeline instead of providing climate finance & investing in a just transition to renewable energy. #StopEACOP pic.twitter.com/j55HAMcJeR
