A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

While we’re STILL here three decades after that “prediction”, yet it hasn’t stopped the left from ramping up the absurd.

Politicians are supposedly held to account for their actions because they, for the most part, have two to four years to make good on their campaign promises. Imagine what we’d be told if they knew the couldn’t be called on their promises because most of us would literally be dead by the time they were supposed to make good.

That’s exactly what climate alarmists bank on when they make outrageous predictions, especially to captive children in classrooms, devoid of opposing views.

The visuals they present are nothing less than what could be considered child abuse.

There were blatant deceptions used by actual “science” publications until they were called on it and had to issue a retraction.

The calls to arms are sensational. Yes, the climate is changing and it has since the planet was created. What we experience today has been experienced before… LONG before industrialization but that little bit of informational context is almost always left out of the hysterical headlines and classroom presentations.

Headlines predicting imminent doom after many of us are conveniently no longer around to remind them how wrong they were again.

By the year 2100, models predict sea level will rise between about 20 and 50 cm (8 to 20 inches) above late 20th Century levels.

What the impressionable activists-in-the-making are never told are the many predictions that were made loud, proud, and with conviction that DIDN’T come to fruition. Many of these are, again, outrageous forecasts that very few of us will be around to call them on and that was only up until 2014.

They just don’t want anyone to go back and read some of the almost comical predictions that obviously didn’t come to fruition….

“Skiing among palm trees? … For this reason I would advise no one in the Berchtesgadener Land to invest in a ski-lift. The probability of earning money with the global warming is getting less and less.”

So how is it so many supposedly so smart (because they’re “scientists”) get it so wrong, so often, yet they keep pushing something they know they’ll never be held accountable for?

As usual, it all comes down to that pile of never-ending taxpayer money.

According to a recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, “Federal funding for climate change research, technology, international assistance, and adaptation has increased from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $11.6 billion in 2014, with an additional $26.1 billion for climate change programs and activities provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009.”

Five years ago, a leftist group called the Climate Policy Initiative issued a study which found that “Global investment in climate change” reached $359 billion that year. Then to give you a sense of how money-hungry these planet-saviors are, the CPI moaned that this spending “falls far short of what’s needed” a number estimated at $5 trillion.
— Heritage Foundation, 12/18/18

That taxpayer money funds federal, state and local environmental agencies, university professors and departments, hundreds of grants for environmental “nonprofits”, and tax breaks for corporations that only have to pledge and make the minimum of compliance expenditures in going “green”.

They’re even messing with our skies on an almost daily basis, without public input or consent, and with seemingly zero concern of the possible health ramifications how their climate meddling will affect all living below their taxpayer-funded experiments.

Because we have those who’ve found another niche cause, driven by raw emotion and the cowardly scaring of children and parents who eventually become active. We have mostly white liberal “scientists” who’ve found a great line of secure employment while never having to produce meaningful data to back up their dire warnings.

Your local meteorologist can’t tell you, with any degree of certainty, what the weather will be in three days yet we’re being told how to alter our behavior based on science that’s found to repeatedly be wrong and those prognosticators have the benefit they’ll never have to answer for why they’re so wrong, so often.

Because… it’s the weather.

On December 3-4, you can endure slow-talking Al Gore and his eighth annual 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves, complete with certified has-beens, never-really-weres and on-the-way-outs like Sting & Shaggy, Moby, Jeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, the Goo Goo Dolls, David Crosby, Jaden Smith, Bill Nye, Téa Leoni, Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, and a bunch of sanctimonious bureaucrats lecturing on what YOU should do to “save the planet”… things they exempt themselves of.

or…

You can spend an hour and 15 minutes watching one of all-time best, unapologetic, widely-attacked, yet most informative video productions on the topic; complete with experts; not emotional, funding-dependent academics and activists.

The Great Global Warming Swindle is still one the most controversial documentaries on the topic. Check out as much as you wish of Al Gore’s talk-a-thon and see which position on “climate change” and the dangers of C02 makes more sense to you.

Oh, and while they claim this is all about a “discussion”, Al Gore’s live YouTube stream has “disabled” chats AND comments.

This is no surprise.

See how much concern (or lack thereof) Gore shows for the plight of poor African nations he happily denies the opportunity to develop while his privileged Western neophyte devotees stream his live production on their iPhones.

In listening to the hysterics of the climate change believers, it’s not an acceptance of even the remote possibility that there may be other explanations for the change in the climate. It’s more the arrogant denial that, heaven forbid, there is even the slightest possibility that they may have been suckered and are thus, very wrong.

Facebook: March for Science
It is time for scientists, science enthusiasts, and concerned citizens to come together to make ourselves heard! This is a public page for discussion about a march on Washington by scientists and science enthusiasts.

Sorry, this is NOT about the concern of scientists about carbon footprints. This is all about the possibility that scientists who make a very good living on monitoring the climate stand to lose their livelihoods.

About the National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense….”

With an annual budget of $7.5 billion (FY 2016), we are the funding source for approximately 24 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing.

There have been many opportunities for so-called scientists to march. It appears their sole motivation in 2017 is not the health of the planet, but their wallets.

And if you look at what the activists propose, it’s clear they exempt themselves from their possible environmental impact while denying the world’s poor the right to develop their natural resources so they can enjoy a lifestyle that doesn’t include sickness and early death.

Meteorologists can’t tell us what the weather will be this weekend but we’re all supposed to change our way of life because “scientists” can tell us what the weather will be hundreds of years after they’re dead and can’t be held publicly and/or legally accountable.

As long as these “scientists” can perpetuate the climate change “consensus” lie, they can continue to make their car and mortgage payments, eat very well, and enjoy a relatively calm, federal grant-paid job that doesn’t include an end date.
