Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday that the United Nations called a “code red for humanity.” “It’s just guaranteed that it’s going to get worse,” said report co-author Linda Mearns, a senior climate scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.”(Snip)The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and “unequivocal,” makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than it did last time

We have been having a lot of rain in Texas, which has kept temperatures 10-15 degrees cooler all summer. I have had enough of the UN squat!. You can take the UN out of the U.S., and keep our money.

These lies have been totally debunked for several years now. The earth is not warming. That's why they changed the scare nomenclature from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change." These clowns must not have gotten the memo.

So, are they asking Asia to fix their issues? China is building hundreds of coal burning power stations and India's air pollution in the cities is horrible. When they fix that then I will worry about cooking on my electric, nuclear powered stove.

I suppose that he scientists on the UN panel are unanimous in their thinking on global warming. Am I safe to say that there are no opposing theories or positions from anyone on this panel? They need a new crisis to justify their jobs.

I guess we need to declare a climate emergency and shut down all carbon-based fuels vehicles until the CO2 levels in the atmosphere curve is flattened. Of course, mandatory shutdowns of churches and gas stations.
The only vehicles allowed to be driven are electric. Carbon dioxide scrubbing masks are in production in China, and cows will be required to wear flatulence filters.

Who are we to believe God or the scientist? I'm going with God, the unbelievers have a lot more to be concerned about than the weather. In life we have many choices, for eternity we have but two! Heaven or Hell.

Democrats aren't very bright. They have WAY-AY-AY overused the Chicken Little ploy. And their methods of exacerbating a minor crisis into a major one, is so flawed, even the uneducated can spot it, if they stop to think.
Global Warming: The Globe warms and cools over multi-millenial cycles. We are currently on an upswing in temperature. Yes, there is Global Warming. No, it's NOT man-made.
COVID-19: When you need a quarantine, you isolate the sick person and their care-givers. When the sick recover, they, with their immunity, care for their theoretically now sick former care-giver, till they are well. But what did they do?
At first they resisted Trump (because, hey! Orange Man bad) when Covid was detected and he wanted to restrict travelers from China. He was a racist! Then they wanted to mask and isolate EVERYONE, because that way, they could create a panic and say (Orange Man bad, remember) Trump was incompetent. But there weren't enough masks, especially of the type that would prevent COVID from getting into your lungs. Thank the Obama Administration for that one, but (Orange Man bad...)
Also, masks need to be replaced, regularly. Long term wearing of masks can create other health problems. But of course... 'Orange Man Bad...'
In a sense, HIV was a trial run for this: they refused to take any action to protect against the spread of the virus, because it was "Bigoted" and "Homophobic" Meanwhile who was dying from HIV? drug-users and homosexuals.
This is the Democrat Party.

How come all of these reports are always about the future and they can't even get this weekends forecast correctly? They use words like, ". . . about a decade will probably . . ." About? Probably?
Where's the hard science that has been peer reviewed and duplicated? Doesn't exist because it's just a "report".

This third-world multideck clown car has been lying to the whole world about everything for decades. If they quit fudging the data and blowing toxic smoke up our anal apertures they risk losing all the money they get from totalitarian globalist.
Honest climate science is being strangled in it's crib.

Yes, that fraction of one percent that we peoples contribute to “global warming” is going to do us in, just like Algore said so long ago. The IPCC is nearly as reliable as Dr. Fauchi. Approaching zero.

All the various climates on earth are controlled by the sun. The sun ( our star ) has a few billions years before it starts to expand. At that point life on earth will cease to exist. The arrogant left loves a "crisis " that they can make money off of. Fear and panic , panic and fear, the mantra of the left.

So far it’s been one of the coolest summers in Dallas that I remember for 40 years. Far far far cooler that the hottest ones of 1980 and around 2000, when we were setting records for 120 days of temperatures above 100 and 0 rainfall. Don’t quote me on the exact numbers, but that was the order of magnitude. This year only a few days of 100 if any and none of the 108 degree type scorchers.
But the weirld is ending and what to do except send more money and trust the con/pols to save the world in 100 years.
That’s the job i want— pay me a lot now, results after I’m long dead.

Bull poop....If these climate communists weren't so dangerous it would be amusing to look back over the last twenty years of their steadily increasing doomsday predictions. They get worse and worse as the years go by because we fly-over people have been ignoring them. They must get together in a group to try to come up with ever more dire warnings to try to scare the rubes. Another few years and they will have the Great Lakes boiling off completely.

If the elite Global Warming activists were worried about man-made Global Warming, they would have turned down Obama's birthday invitation to save the planet. Even their head cheerleader John Kerry flew in on a private jet. The Cloonies flew in from Italy. The list goes on and on and on. PS:I did not misspell Clooney.

I assume this is the "Summary for Policymakers" report which is released months before the actual report with data. It is always a political paper to produce fear and a political result. When the actual report comes out, few will read it and they will find the SPM is hyped B S but will be too politically correct to report the fraud.
Not a thing the useless UN has ever produced has been worth while.

....but all it will take to fix it is an infusion of about $100 trillion US dollars, while Russia/China/India are allowed to pollute as much as they want for the next 30 years!
This is such a ridiculous scam. I really do wish the U.S. would exit the United Nations and evict them from our soil. If the nations are so united, why not make the global HQ float from one country to another every few years or so? Next stop -> Beijing!

Malarkey. The WaPo was also spouting this narrative today re the fire that is consuming a Greek island. We have a huge fire in Northern California. It is dry in some areas (others got a lot of rain), it is summer, it is hot. It is weather. Has been happening for eons. Relax and get out your crayons...

Hey, hey, hey!! Seth Borenstein lives!
I was wondering what happened to the AP's favorite in-house Gullible Warming scaremonger. He was famous for his endless string of "Hottest Year Ever!" propaganda. But here he is again - - not quite up to his old form - - but still in there pitching Gullible Warmist scare stories.
But OP has it nailed. They're hauling out Seth from cold storage again - - because the Wuhan Flu scare stories aren't working anymore. Welcome back, Seth - - things were a whole lot less scary without you!

Like Dallas, St. Louis is experiencing an unusually mild summer. We have had more days under 90F than I can remember. It’s not being reported, though. All we hear about on the news are the high temperatures in the West. Not surprising since deception is their principal product.

There is no end to "the sky is falling". The bar will be continually moved so that government will always be able to use climate change it to control people. This is the liberal end game that they have been waiting to unleash, western world domination and fealty to communist China and anti-Semitism.

These morons actually think that they can control the weather and the temperature like you control the temperature in your house with a thermostat. Yet being the buffoons they are, they will never admit that not one of their predictions over the last 50 years has ever come to fruition. According to one of the biggest hypocrites of them all, Al Gore, Manhattan should already be under water. He predicted that over 30 years ago. The polar bears are still here, the coral reefs are still hear and the fear mongers are still here ad Obama still has waterfront property. Only a fool and an illiterate can believe these idiots.

PhD in geography. Certainly all geography graduates have advanced physics, mathematics (including advanced calculus - especially partial differential equations), heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. And some experience building, running and tweaking complex computer models utilizing knowledge and complex calculations in all these areas. Don't they?
