It's the final call, say scientists, the most extensive warning yet on the risks of rising global temperatures.
Their dramatic report on keeping that rise under 1.5 degrees C says the world is now completely off track, heading instead towards 3C.
Keeping to the preferred target of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels will mean "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society".
It will be hugely expensive - but the window of opportunity remains open.
After three years of research and a week of haggling between scientists and government officials at a meeting in South Korea, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a special report on the impact of global warming of 1.5C.

If only people bought Teslas instead, that'd save the planet and stop global warming (even though the cars run from the power grid which also pollutes, same with the li-ion batteries).

School children suggesting giant mirrors and global refrigerators are better at solving global warming than the bureaucrats currently in charge of it.

Yeah.. I see the superpowers doing not nearly enough to solve this issue because the survival of the human race is nothing compared to wasting shekels on weapons of mass destruction. They're all selfish exceptional individuals.
And regular people don't seem to care either. You don't care about global warming, or you think it's all a hoax? Fuck you, you're a selfish exceptional individual. Who cares if we have to spend trillions of dollars, if it's all to save the human race?

Says the person wasting electricities by "poop"-posting on a message board. Wasting energy shows how much you care.

The simple reality is the modern world overconsumes. Cruise ships need to be docked and dismantled. Theme parks need to be shut down. The internet needs to be dramatically pared down. Airplanes need to return to being a method of travel for the extremely wealthy. Air conditioning needs to be outlawed for all but the sick and elderly. Package delivery needs to be reduced. Food costs need to increase to account for environmental damage, which will force people to eat less and reduce energy needs to cart their bulbous derrières around.

Everything in your lifestyle is bad. The stupid Hollywood movies you watch where they run generators nonstop for days at a time and idle vehicles so they are always at right temperature for stars. The media jetting people around for 1 hour interviews and guest appearances. Football matches generate tons of CO2 while also creating mounds of rubbish. The food you eat takes a lot energy to produce. The food you waste takes just as much, but also more energy to deal with. All the garbage you buy and then recycle as though it makes it okay. The thousands you spend on Lego and dolls each year. That phone you buy and then replace after 15 months.

Not ok - having white babies in the 1st world
Ok - having 10 brown babies in a shithole 3rd world, pissing and shitting in streams making aquifers Biohazards

Don't be such a racist schmuck, goyim. Those immigrants to our G-d-forsaken polluting countries will become the next engineers and doctors!

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

Yeah, is the point of this to combat global warming, or to redistribute wealth for social justice? Because one of the members of the IPCC kinda let the mask slip there a while back.

If you needed any more evidence that the entire theory of manmade global warming was a scheme to redistribute wealth you got it Sunday when a leading member of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change told a German news outlet, "[W]e redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy."

Such was originally published by Germany's NZZ Online Sunday, and reprintedin English by the Global Warming Policy Foundation moments ago:

(NZZ AM SONNTAG): The new thing about your proposal for a Global Deal is the stress on the importance of development policy for climate policy. Until now, many think of aid when they hear development policies.

(OTTMAR EDENHOFER, UN IPCC OFFICIAL): That will change immediately if global emission rights are distributed. If this happens, on a per capita basis, then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there. This will have enormous implications for development policy. And it will raise the question if these countries can deal responsibly with so much money at all.

(NZZ): That does not sound anymore like the climate policy that we know.

(EDENHOFER): Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization. The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War. Why? Because we have 11,000 gigatons of carbon in the coal reserves in the soil under our feet - and we must emit only 400 gigatons in the atmosphere if we want to keep the 2-degree target. 11 000 to 400 - there is no getting around the fact that most of the fossil reserves must remain in the soil.

(NZZ): De facto, this means an expropriation of the countries with natural resources. This leads to a very different development from that which has been triggered by development policy.

(EDENHOFER): First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole.

For the record, Edenhofer was co-chair of the IPCC's Working Group III, and was a lead author of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report released in 2007 which controversially concluded, "Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."

As such, this man is a huge player in advancing this theory, and he has now made it quite clear - as folks on the realist side of this debate have been saying for years - that this is actually an international economic scheme designed to redistribute wealth.

Readers are encouraged to review the entire interview at GWPF or Google's slightly different translation.

Think how many more birds there will be when it's hot enough that they no longer need to sit on their eggs to warm & hatch them. It will be a chickenpocalypse!

If we wiped China, India and Africa off the map then the earth would fix itself in a few decades.

The particular conference the article is about also cals for "unprecedented transitions in all aspects of society" which one reporter interpreted as "The world's top scientists just gave rigorous backing to systematically dismantle capitalism as a key requirement to maintaining civilization and a habitable planet."

Sustaining Capital is more important than saving the human race. Without the technocracy, where would you be? Let us all bow at the altar of the God of this world, my friends. Praise be to your eternal glory, O Moloch, eater of children!

If we wiped China, India and Africa off the map then the earth would fix itself in a few decades.

Nice try at deflecting faggot. The numbers say those 3 places are disproportionately responsible for pollution. Europe and the US could disappear overnight and those 3 places would still destroy the planet at the same rate it's already being destroyed.

If the scenario you proposed happened, the 3 would collapse under their weight and the system's weight in no time. Try again, demon.

My neutral stand is that I'm gonna buy an air conditioner and tell every single screeching ninny and nonny to go fuck themselves.

Do you want to save humanity or not? You said global warming poses a threat of extinction to humanity, but also wont accept the only answer to tackle the problem because "das rayciss"
Explain yourself.

This sounds suspiciously like an excerpt from an Amish religion recruiting campaign on a liberal college campus.

We need to stop global warming or else the ayylmaos frozen in Antarctica will thaw out and kill us all.

You're better off with a Kearney air pump.

The point of all this is that simply killing off human beings is not a solution to the problem. Their numbers will be replenished soon enough elsewhere and the base problem won't be solved. One can only find a permanent solution in changing mankind's behavior when it comes to use of the resources allotted to him and how he uses technology. If this requires a complete "fall-out" of the industrial system, so be it.

TL;DR read the subtitle.

North America and Europe have industrialized nations which leave a relatively small footprint. Africa isn't industrialized at all, and they still produce an absolutely disproportionate amount of pollution. You're blaming industrialization when the cold hard truth is that certain people are the ones destroying the planet, and not the boogieman of industrialization. No matter how much civilization improves, the rats in those places will continue to have their populations explode and will continue to destroy the world around them, like they always have.

Totally not a racist. So your solution is to exterminate certain "inferior" populations? Just come out and say it.

@Big Bad Fish sort of has a point. It's the lack of giving a fuck ingrained in the culture in those areas that's attributing to the problem more than it is the sheer number of humans in the same space. Not only that, but it makes any further attempts by western first-world nations to cut down on our emissions a moot point when they're going to do nothing save laugh at us for hamstringing ourselves for nothing while throwing plastic into the ocean and smogging up their industrial areas so badly you'd think you were in Silent Hill.

Nice attempt to play to the white guilt crowd. Screaming racism means you have no argument.
People like you have proposed solutions which are nothing but accelerationism. By forcing more regulation on the non-offenders and protecting the perpetrators you're making the rest of the world more reliant on planet-destroying practices and empowering those who are doing causing the problems. When someone is destroying something that is yours, you punish them. If people get in your way, they should be destroyed too.
You're just as guilty as the Chinese in the planets destruction by shielding them from just criticism. You don't care about earth, you're just trying to signal how much you care to others to feel good about yourself.
