Delingpole: Climate Alarmists Finally Admit ‘We Were Wrong About Global Warming’
Climate alarmists have finally admitted that they’ve got it wrong on global warming.
This is the inescapable conclusion of a landmark paper, published in Nature Geoscience, which finally admits that the computer models have overstated the impact of carbon dioxide on climate and that the planet is warming more slowly than predicted.
The paper – titled Emission budgets and pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 °C – concedes that it is now almost impossible that the doomsday predictions made in the last IPCC Assessment Report of 1.5 degrees C warming above pre-industrial levels by 2022 will come true.

Global Warming: Who Are The Deniers Now?
Climate Change: Global warming is "settled science," we hear all the time. Those who reject that idea are "deniers." But as new evidence trickles out from peer-reviewed science studies, the legs beneath the climate change hypothesis — that the earth was doing just fine until carbon-dioxide spewing human beings came along — is increasingly wobbly.
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience purports to support action by global governments to reduce carbon dioxide output in order to lower potential global warming over the next 100 years or so. But what it really does is undercut virtually every modern argument for taking radical action against warming.

Clarification on recent press coverage of our '1.5 degrees' paper in Nature Geoscience
20 Sep 2017
Myles Allen Richard Millar
A number of media reports have asserted that our recent study in Nature Geoscience indicates that global temperatures are not rising as fast as predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and hence that action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is no longer urgent.
Both assertions are false.
Our results are entirely in line with the IPCC’s 2013 prediction that temperatures in the 2020s would be 0.9-1.3 degrees above pre-industrial (See figures 2c and 3a of our article which show the IPCC prediction, our projections, and temperatures of recent years).
What we have done is to update the implications for the amount of carbon dioxide we can still emit while expecting global temperatures to remain below the Paris Climate Agreement goal of 1.5 degrees. We find that, to likely meet the Paris goal, emission reductions would need to begin immediately and reach zero in less than 40 years’ time.
While that is not geophysically impossible, to suggest that this means that measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are now unnecessary is clearly false.

Hurry up and warm up...I wanna move back to Maine...yeehaw
What I find funny about the topic of global warming or climate change if you prefer is that those who say it isn't real act as if that opinion were true then there is no need to worry and we can all just go back to business as usual. The fact of the matter is that Global warming/Climate Change is just one of a host of environmental concerns. Such that even if we removed it from the list of things endangering life on this planet, there are still far too many real threats that we aren't taking seriously enough and which have the potential to cause our extinction as quick if not sooner then Global Warming/Climate Change.

I agree, but it all depends on the rate of climate change. There have been times in the past when ice ages and warming's have come very quickly within a few generations. It will happen again eventually
Well not all of the things I'm talking about are tied to Climate Change. For example a recent concern is the rate at which the planet is losing it's insect population. In theory a thing like Global Warming should be causing the insect population to increase as pretty much all insects thrive in warmer conditions and yet they are dying off. They're not really sure why and it is an area of research that is getting urgent attention because many insects besides just bees assist in pollination. If I remember correctly what I've heard somewhere between 50%-90% of the world's food supply depends on the pollination accomplished by bees and other insects. Most of the human population depends on the food that insect pollination creates and if insects disappear we could see mankind dying off from starvation and malnutrition in less then a decade.
