Clearly neither the 1.5C nor the 2C Rubicon’s of anthropogenic warming were ever safe. Nor was 350ppm of CO2 in the Atmosphere for that matter. How did we get ourselves into this nightmare?
Nobel Laurate William Nordhaus is quite possibly the single most deadly human to have ever lived.
Nordhaus, an economist at Yale was the first corporate shrill to suggest that 2C was both achievable and safe. It was neither but we were collectively sold the lie.
The Myth of 2C Being Safe and Achievable
“We know quite a bit more about climate science than we did in 1977. And real scientists knew, even way back then, that economists were not to be treated as scientists. It’s small wonder Nordhaus shared the politically motivated Nobel Prize in Economics in 2018. I wouldn’t have been surprised had he been given the Nobel Peace Prize, thus joining fellow partners-in-crime specialists-in-genocide Henry Kissinger and Barack Obama.”
From the essay “Extinction Foretold, Extinction Ignored”
“We have known for decades that the 2 C number set in stone by economist William Nordhaus and his cohorts at the corporate established and driven IPCC is dangerous. We were ”running out of time” to deal with greenhouse gases in 1965, according to the chief of the American Petroleum Institute.
Fourteen years later, it was Edward Teller informing Big Oil they needed to change.
Exxon accurately predicted where we were headed in 1982, and not only failed to heed the warnings, but kicked the warnings and the future of humanity to the curb.
Al Gore and Carl Sagan testified to Congress in 1985 that we must act now on climate change.
In 1989 the UN posted an analysis that concluded that we had a 10-year window of opportunity to avoid dangerous climate change. We have emitted twice as much carbon since that warning was issued and we’ve triggered 6 dozen feedback loops that we know of.
The UN is still saying the same thing today, 34yrs later.
In late June 1989 Noel Brown, the director of the New York office of the United Nations Environment Program, indicated we had only until 2000 to avoid catastrophic climate change.”
All of the above data from Science Update: Shifting the Baseline
The more I see about climate change from bureaucrats and politicians, the more I expect an increase in taxation. (Carbon credits, emission trading scheme, fuel levies,) etc The voice of scientists who know the truth is either ignored, or manipulated to produce the desired result. It seems narrative is more important than the truth.
