| The timeline is mistaken or else willfully distorted—for example: ○ “Recent findings reinforce the fact that without substantial and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and regional adaptation efforts, there will be substantial and far-reaching changes over the course of the 21st century with negative consequences for a large majority of sectors, particularly towards the end of the century.” ○ [On future changes in global climate]: “Without significant reductions, annual average global temperatures could increase by 9°F (5°C) or more by the end of this century compared to preindustrial temperatures.” ○ [On rising global sea levels]: “Relative to the year 2000, sea level is very likely to rise 1 to 4 feet (0.3 to 1.3 m) by the end of the century.” |
| b.) That without significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the frequency of extreme weather, powerful storms and large-scale floods across Europe and North America – will likely increase three-fold (3x!) (by University of Exeter (UK) researchers). [ 5 ] c.) And a new report by U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) participated by more than 300 federal and non-federal experts and reviewed by 13 federal agencies—called: Fourth National Climate Assessment, Volume II: Impacts, Risks, and Adaptation in the United States. [ 6 ], [ 7 ] (i) It was released on ‘Black Friday’ when masses were focused on shopping for bargains; not paying attention to the most imminently dangerous problem facing mankind. (ii) Although most of its conclusions (on consequences caused by Climate Change) are acceptable, reasonable and real — |
