:lol:What an idiot.

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'" Ocasio-Cortez said.

The Democratic Socialist said the fight against climate change is war and that it’s “our World War II.

:pc: Older article but relevant none the less.

So then, how does IPCC arrive at its alarmist conclusions?

When in doubt, and they always are, they just make them up based upon hypothetical models that have yet to comply with observed conditions. And as for those models, it’s important to realize that no overall sea level change theory encompassing thermal expansion of oceans, melting of mountain glaciers, and changes, both positive and negative, of Greenland and Antarctic sheets even exists. 

 

A leading researcher, Bruce Douglas, termed all of this a “puzzle”, while famed Scripps Institute oceanographer Walter Munk calls it an “enigma”. Perhaps it’s like Churchill’s description of Soviet Russia, “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”.

In any case, let’s review what IPCC has projected in their Summary for Policymakers reports crafted for prime time media audiences:

  • The first assessment report (1990) showed a rising sea level range of 10-367 cm by the year 2100. That’s some range!
  • The second report (1996) narrowed the range to 3-124 cm by 2100.
  •  The third report (2001) showed the range to be 11-77 cm by 2100.
  •  The fourth report (2007) originally showed 14-43 cm in draft…then changed it to 18-59 cm in final printed version. 

The good news here, if there really is any, is that each of the successive summary report maximum estimates decreased, all being much smaller than the 600 cm sea level rise trumpeted by former NASA Goddard Institute for Space Science activist James Hansen and climate multi-millionaire Gore. 

A draft of the IPCC’s 5th report that was leaked to the press now projects a sea level rise by 2100 of 45-110 cm (16-40 inches) …about double of what they showed six years ago. What is particularly remarkable about this is that the report shows zero sea rise values before 1880, while the coral data and coastal sediments do. 

Tidal gauge data show no acceleration during strong warming between 1920-40 (a period when CO2 concentrations were lower)…with levels continuing to rise during slight cooling of 1940-75, and also during a recent 17-year warming “pause”. Yet IPCC-2013 shows increasing values (acceleration) throughout the entire period.  It appears that this record may have been falsified.

I love her!  I hope the Dems let her up on stage during the debates.  I know the DNC will pick the winners themselves anyway so, why not have some fun in the process?

They did that?

or lets tax people at 70%

Or, “It’s immoral to have billionaires.”

When she is all said and done...a book will be published of these collected gems.

She’s both a gift and nightmare for the Dems....and the R’s too!  Less nightmare on that side though.
