The world is creeping closer to the warming threshold international agreements are trying to prevent, with nearly a 50-50 chance that Earth will temporarily hit that temperature mark within the next five years, teams of meteorologists across the globe predicted.With human-made climate change continuing, there’s a 48% chance that the globe will reach a yearly average of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels of the late 1800s at least once between now and 2026, a bright red signal in climate change negotiations and science, a team of 11 different forecast centers predicted for the World Meteorological Organization late Monday.

And Joe Biden got 90 million votes and Epstein killed himself and other Fables.

If it doesn’t they can just “adjust” the temperature data to make it more accurately conform to their propaganda.

Here comes the National Climate Emergency! My opinion is Biden will try to order a complete cessation of fossil fuel usage. No planes trains trucks cars - basically a lockdown. What say you MAGA?

Yawn. And it means NOTHING at all, either way, as far as humans causing it. WE are passengers on this rock, not in charge of the climate in any way, shape or form.

Her we have Seth Borenstein again, AP's resident Goron and climate alarmist. You can safely ignore anything under his byline. Pure Green propaganda always.

WArmer works better then colder. Longer growing season for crops. Less fuel for heat.
Less snow to shovel.
The earth would adapt if this was true. Do woukd mankind.

If there were a significant penalty to be paid by those who predicted this but who turned out to be completely wrong, would they still have predicted this?
I'm just thinking outside the box here, but maybe this line of thinking might fix our "expert" problem.

The warming threshold an arbitrary number.
Hey, why don't these clowns just move the earth farther from the sun?

Did they ever tell us what the average temperature should be? And when and for how long it was that temperature in the planet’s history? Better yet, how did life survive the periods when it varied from that ideal.

When water reaches half way up the Washington monument, I’ll start to believe the climate change psychos. Meanwhile, I buy the National Geographic for the photos, not the tired old globaloney story they pitch in every other paragraph.

50-50... Wow, it sure sounds like the "science is settled" on this theory, huh?

Somebody best tell the banks and insurance companies which are financing all the waterside condos and hotels. Maybe they aren't concerned about predictions of climate change.

50 years ago the big worry was global cooling. I feel safer with global warming. But wait, that can all change.

Warmer is better than colder. To drive libtards crazy, ask them "what is the ideal temperature of the earth?"
Good luck getting an answer.

Seth Borenstein - - is the AssPress in-house climate alarmist.
He has been writing even worse nonsense that this - - for over twenty years. But you've got to hand it to Seth - - he knows what gets his bread buttered - - and he stays with it.

Hey wait a minute. I want to be able to vote on what we want the temperature to be. Where I live it hasn’t hit 60 degrees for over half a year. Supposedly it will tomorrow though.

What's the difference between warming now and the global warming that happened millions of years ago. Was it the cars? Industry? Cows farting? What?

The so-called "experts" have been wrong many, many , many times before!
If Greta Thunberg and AOC are correct (by the way, has she dropped off the face of the Earth??) we only have 3-4 years left!
The AlGore Doomsday clock that Rush Limbaugh kept track of has long past struck midnight..... January 27, 2016,,, we should all be dead now!

BS. We are giving multi-million dollar grants to failed scientists so they can study this nonsense on a 50-50 chance they might be right. When 2026 arrives, the target date will have been quietly moved to 2050. We know what you people do.
