You Gotta be Kidding?! Nothing to See Here a Day Before Christmas Folks!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The fake stream BS just keeps spewing out of the 24/7 Psychological Operations sewer-pipe of Corporate media… and the masses who are connected to the steady morphine drip of the results-producing Hegelian Dialectic continue to fan the flames of further deception.

I’m gonna try my best to make it through this USA Today article without interjecting any commentary…so let’s go. This article was released today…just one day before Christmas…and, it’s an article that Greta and her control-freak handlers would be proud to endorse. The title is: Were the predictions we made about climate change 20 years ago accurate? Here’s a look at the lead video (clip)

 

Yeah…just pin it on the generalized, enigmatic “climate change” foe that we all must beg our politicians to fight if we’re gonna save the planet. And don’t mention anything about the government’s own documents which admit to wanting to control the weather as a FORCE multiplier and Owning the weather in 2025. It’s kinda easy to predict what’s GOING to happen when the elites are the ones making it happen.

When it comes to climate change, did we accurately predict in 2000 what would be happening now? 

“What the models correctly told us 20 years ago is that if we continued to add fossil fuels at an increasing rate to the atmosphere, we’d see an increasing range of consequences, including a decline in Arctic sea ice, a rise in sea levels and shifts in precipitation patterns,” Weather Underground meteorologist Robert Henson told USA TODAY.

Overall, we’re running quite close to the projections made in 2000 for carbon dioxide concentration, global temperature and sea level, Henson said.

Here’s a look at climate change indicators for 2020:

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that scientists say is most responsible for global warming.

Since the early 1990s, the carbon dioxide level in the Earth’s atmosphere has jumped from about 358 parts per million to nearly 412 ppm, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That’s a 15% rise in 27 years.

Sea-level rise

Since 1992, the global sea level has risen on average 2.9 millimeters a year. That’s a total of 78.3 millimeters, according to NOAA. 

Penn State University meteorologist Michael Mann argued that we underestimated the rate of ice sheet collapse, which has ”implications for future sea-level rise.”

Both of the world’s giant ice sheets have lost tremendous amounts of ice in the past two to three decades: The Greenland ice sheet lost 5.2 trillion tons of ice from 1993 to 2018, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Antarctic ice sheet lost 3 trillion tons of ice from 1992 to 2017, according to a study in the journal Nature.

Weather disasters

Mann told USA TODAY that we “underestimated the dramatic increase in persistent weather extremes like the unprecedented heat waves, droughts, wildfires and floods we’ve witnessed in recent years.”

Since 1993, there have been 212 weather disasters that cost the United States at least $1 billion each, when adjusted for inflation.

In total, they cost $1.45 trillion and killed more than 10,000 people. That’s an average of 7.8 such disasters per year since 1993, compared with 3.2 per year from 1980 to 1992, according to NOAA.

Global temps rising

Henson noted it’s clear that global climate models were on the right track 20 years ago: Global temperatures would continue to rise as greenhouse gases continued to accumulate in the atmosphere. 

That’s been borne out: The global average temperature rose a tad more than a degree Fahrenheit since the mid-’90s, according to NOAA.

“The global temperature projections were just about on the money,” Mann said.

These climate models weren’t designed to predict decade-by-decade variability, Henson said, so we didn’t fully anticipate the slowdown in global atmospheric warming in the first decade of this century and the much more rapid increase in the 2010s, both of which were linked to the evolving rate of heat storage in the ocean. 

The annual average extent of Arctic sea ice has shrunk from 4.7 million square miles in 1992 to 3.9 million square miles in 2019, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. That’s a 17% decrease.

Droughts and wildfires

“Another thing beyond the scope of year-2000 outlooks were some aspects of regional climate change,” Henson said. “For example, it’s now clear that droughts in California are much more likely to be ‘hot’ droughts, and this has laid the groundwork for longer, more devastating wildfire seasons.” 

The number of acres burned by wildfires in the USA has more than doubled from a five-year average of 3.3 million acres in the 1990s to 7.6 million acres in 2018, the National Interagency Fire Center said.

‘Sunny day’ flooding

 ”We’re also appreciating the threat posed by ‘sunny day’ flooding much more than we did in 2000,” Henson said. “Tidal flooding is far more frequent on many parts of the Gulf and Atlantic coast than it was 20 years ago, and NOAA has projected that some locations could see more than 80 flood days a year as soon as the 2040s.”
