Four More Years-Global warmists make "scientific" predictions by consulting the political calendar
Ubiquitous
The planet will be in "huge trouble" unless Barack Obama
makes strides in tackling climate change, says a leading
scientist.
Prof James McCarthy spoke on the eve of the annual meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS), which he heads.
The US president has just four years to save the planet, said
Prof McCarthy.
Just four years to save the planet! And McCarthy's is not the only such
"scientific" prediction. Just before President Obama's inauguration, London's
Guardian weighed in with this report:
Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That
is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading
climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent
action by the new president could halt the devastating
climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that
action will have to be taken within Obama's first administration,
he added.
Soaring carbon emissions are already causing ice-cap melting and
threaten to trigger global flooding, widespread species loss and
major disruptions of weather patterns in the near future. "We
cannot afford to put off change any longer," said Hansen. "We
have to get on a new path within this new administration. We
have only four years left for Obama to set an example to the
rest of the world. America must take the lead."
Let's see, four years: That would that we are all doomed if nothing changes by
January or February 2013. And we have at least two prominent scientists saying
the same thing, and as we've all learned "scientific consensus" is always
right.
Or is it? We have some questions: From what data did McCarthy and Hansen
derive this deadline? How long have scientists "known" that the beginning of
2013 was the point of no return? Can anyone find an example of a scientist in,
say, 2007 saying we have six years to act, or in 2002 saying we have 11 years?
Is it a mere coincidence that the deadline is almost exactly the same as the
end of the term of a new president who gives indications that he may be both
gullible enough to swallow global warmism and egomaniacal enough to believe he
can save the world?
It looks to us as if these predictions are no more than political punditry
pretending to be science.
