    Ok, this global warming shit is getting out of hand...

    "Climate change is an acute threat to global development and efforts to end poverty. Without urgent action, climate change impacts could push an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030."

    https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/c...hange/overview

    Countries and communities around the world are already experiencing increased climate change impacts – including droughts, floods, more intense and frequent natural disasters, and sea-level rise – and the poorest and most vulnerable are being hit the hardest.

    With each passing year, the risks of unabated climate change are mounting.
    According to the latest IPCC report, the climate consequences of a 2° world are far greater than that of 1.5° and we are not on track for either. A 1.5°C world could reduce the number of people both exposed to climate-related risks and susceptible to poverty by up to several hundred million by 2050 compared with 2°C.
    Without urgent action, climate impacts could push an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030.
    By 2050, it could mean that as many as 143 million people across three developing regions will become climate migrants, with individuals, families and even whole communities forced to seek more viable and less vulnerable places to live.
    The impact of extreme natural disasters is equivalent to a global $520 billion loss in annual consumption, and forces some 26 million people into poverty each year.
    Climate change is already having real and measurable impacts on human health, with impacts expected to grow. Air pollution is responsible for more than 7 million premature deaths each year. Direct costs to health could be as high as $4 billion per year by 2030.
    Climate change will not only make it more difficult to feed the projected 10 billion people by 2050 but its impact is already being felt in the form of reduced yields and more frequent extreme weather events that affect crops and livestock.

    "How many coal power plants are there in the world today?"

    "The EU has 468 – building 27 more… Total 495
    Turkey has 56 – building 93 more… Total 149
    South Africa has 79 – building 24 more… Total 103
    India has 589 – building 446 more… Total 1035
    Philippines has 19 – building 60 more… Total 79
    South Korea has 58 – building 26 more… Total 84
    Japan has 90 – building 45 more… Total 135
    China has 2,363 – building 1,171 more… Total 3,534

    That’s 5,615 projected coal powered plants in just 8 countries.

    USA has 15 – building 0 more.. Total 15"

    Good thing the democratic presidential candidates and liberals worldwide are all over the usa for being the bad guy.

    Hmm my Google Fu turns up 359 coal powered power plants in the us, 1800 natural gas, and 1080 petroleum burning power plants. Not sure where you got 15. Sounds wrong.

    I guess the previous administration won the war on coal and the current administration's promise to resuscitate the coal in industry in America, in spite of their maximum polluting efforts, is dead in the water.

    Seems weird for SkiCougar to highlight a Dem accomplishment but maybe he likes seeing America as the light of the world, a city on a hill.

    The U.K. too. In the second quarter of this year only 0.7% of its electric power generation came from coal.

    In a remarkable burst of rapid intensification, Hurricane Lorenzo vaulted to Category 5 status late Saturday, becoming the Atlantic’s second Cat 5 storm of the year, the strongest hurricane ever observed so far east in the Atlantic, and one of the northernmost Cat 5s on record. As of 11 pm EDT Saturday, Lorenzo was packing top sustained winds of 160 mph.

    With Lorenzo and Dorian, this year is now one of only seven years in Atlantic hurricane records going back to 1851 that have produced at least two Category 5 storms. None of those years produced more than two Cat 5s except for 2005, which yielded four (Emily, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma).

    The last 20 years have seen a striking clustering of Category 5 storms in the Atlantic, as noted by Sam Lillo

    and an indoctrinated child shall lead them.

    link to video feed showing the infamous Greta on script at the UN and taking questions with no script in which she asks the question to be repeated and follows that up by passing that question off to others on the panel:

    https://twitter.com/RandomAadmi/stat...759553/video/1

    she makes ostacio-cortez look informed by comparison, a pretty tall feat.

    Also, the answers are more logical and intelligible than anything out of Trump's or Nunes' mouths.

    They're one more than a 4, they're the biggest and best hurricanes, the greatest, soooooo much better than those 2 and 3"s. Under Dump, you'll have 9 and 10 hurricanes, a perfect 10 hurricane, the best ever

    Climate alarmists are the real cherry pickers. How many times do I have to refute the hurricane hysteria?

    From IPCC SR15:

    "Numerous studies leading up to and after AR5 have reported a decreasing trend in the global number of tropical cyclones and/or the globally accumulated cyclonic energy (Emanuel, 2005; Elsner et al., 2008; Knutson et al., 2010; Holland and Bruyère, 2014; Klotzbach and Landsea, 2015; Walsh et al., 2016). A theoretical physical basis for such a decrease to occur under global warming was recently provided by Kang and Elsner (2015). However, using a relatively short (20 year) and relatively homogeneous remotely sensed record, Klotzbach (2006) reported no significant trends in global cyclonic activity, consistent with more recent findings of Holland and Bruyère (2014). Such contradictions, in combination with the fact that the almost four-decade-long period of remotely sensed observations remains relatively short to distinguish anthropogenically induced trends from decadal and multi-decadal variability, implies that there is only low confidence regarding changes in global tropical cyclone numbers under global warming over the last four decades."

    Studies in the detection of trends in the occurrence of very intense tropical cyclones (category 4 and 5 hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson scale) over recent decades have yielded contradicting results. Most studies have reported increases in these systems (Emanuel, 2005; Webster et al., 2005; Klotzbach, 2006; Elsner et al., 2008; Knutson et al., 2010; Holland and Bruyère, 2014; Walsh et al., 2016), in particular for the North Atlantic, North Indian and South Indian Ocean basins (e.g., Singh et al., 2000; Singh, 2010; Kossin et al., 2013; Holland and Bruyère, 2014; Walsh et al., 2016). In the North Indian Ocean over the Arabian Sea, an increase in the frequency of extremely severe cyclonic storms has been reported and attributed to anthropogenic warming (Murakami et al., 2017). However, to the east over the Bay of Bengal, tropical cyclones and severe tropical cyclones have exhibited decreasing trends over the period 1961–2010, although the ratio between severe tropical cyclones and all tropical cyclones is increasing (Mohapatra et al., 2017). Moreover, studies that have used more homogeneous records, but were consequently limited to rather short periods of 20 to 25 years, have reported no statistically significant trends or decreases in the global number of these systems (Kamahori et al., 2006; Klotzbach and Landsea, 2015). Likewise, CMIP5 model simulations of the historical period have not produced anthropogenically induced trends in very intense tropical cyclones (Bender et al., 2010; Knutson et al., 2010, 2013; Camargo, 2013; Christensen et al., 2013), consistent with the findings of Klotzbach and Landsea (2015)
    . There is consequently low confidence in the conclusion that the number of very intense cyclones is increasing globally."

I know its a big ask to read something this lengthy that doesn't fit your viewpoint, but here area bunch of quotes:
    No takers? If none of you can find problems with this paper, then its pretty clear that everyone advocating for 100% non carbon renewable energy policies are the real threat to society, not CO2.

    "Scotland will probably reach 100% renewable energy goal ‘soon’"

    With nearly three-quarters of its energy coming from wind, solar, and hydroelectric energy, Scotland is well on its way to a carbon-free energy grid.

    Scottish Renewables, “the voice of Scotland’s renewable energy industry” predicts in a recent report that the country will soon be meeting its 100% target for energy from clean sources.

    Wind, solar and hydropower are now Scotland’s main sources of electricity, providing around three-quarters of all the energy the country generates. The report also suggests that renewable energy as a whole is providing significant benefits to almost every aspect of the nation’s economy. The use of renewable energy fosters innovation and supports growth, the local economy, and protects the environment.

    The report lists the onshore wind and solar projects of recent years as central to the reductions seen in energy costs in Scotland. Right now, onshore solar and wind are the cheapest sources of electricity available in the country. Together, they’re covering more than half of Scotland’s electricity requirements. All in all, the renewable energy sector directly employs a total of 17,700 people across Scotland, with thousands more involved in hundreds of community energy projects.

    All this progress, the report points out, was made possible by favorable policy. The Scottish Government declared a climate emergency earlier this year and committed to zero emissions by 2045.

    How long before RJ frustrates someone so bad that they commit themselves or go and shoot up a shopping mall? This thread may have to be killed in the interest of mental health and public safety.
