Author of New IPCC Report Says She Still Has Hope

1. You and most downplay what can be done by individuals which means individuals will do nothing since they can not make any difference. Why??? What if the individual would switch to EV for their next car if they own a car? What about solar on every roof if possible? I just bought my second EV for my wife and I and we are installing Solar/Battery. Why would you not tell every individual the best they could do would be the same? Or is this not really a crisis?

2. Melania should direct Donald to direct Jared to ask Ivanka to head up the advanced 4th gen nuclear program. Shes a fashion expert and knows alot about baseload power.

3. One statistic I saw recently, only 7 out of 193 countries that signed the paris agreement are on the path fulfilling said agreement.
   We are so fucked…

4. She is lying. She said at 2 degrees the coral reefs would die off. The great coral reef in Australia is 85% dead. So we at 2 degrees. Plus they moving the 1750 baseline to make it look like got hope.

5. https://www.yr.no/place/North_Pole/Other/North_Pole/
   -12 degrees at the North Pole. However, keep telling us
   the arctic ice cap is melting. Only the gullible, intellectually challenged will
   believe it.

6. 8:55 can driving your car less make a difference.
   Over One Billion cars in the world, and some astute and caring Americans are gonna drive less. It won't be a piss in the ocean.
   We are way past the tipping point. Some will deny that, but that is largely because the real effects are not yet felt, but they are happening.
   Permafrost thaw is a good one. You can pour billions of watts of energy into it , and it will NOT show any temperature rise. this is where a lot of climate change skeptics goo off the rails. they claim no change in temperature, and they are right…but the energy being absorbed in the ice is ALL there, driving the phase change from ice to water. During this process, energy goes in but not temperature rise. See " latent heat of fusion of water". it's not difficult to understand.
   Then when the ice is thawed, the temperature rises quickly and spreads the heat to adjacent ice.This process CAN NOT be reversed with even the most heroic efforts. The subsequent release of GHGs becomes enormous, causing further thawing.
   If we stopped ALL emissions today, the permafrost thaw would continue. and since food production produces 25% of GHG, cessation of emissions would mean famine that cannot be imagined or referenced historically.

7. Your own home made hopium can be addictive as well. Just look away from the cold hard facts and presto,..you can still justify making three more babies that will enjoy the same planet you had to grow up on trusting the fish caught in the river.

8. The other inconvenient truth ignored by both the MSM and pretty much all independent news sources including The Real News Network

   Excerpt: "The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification).

   "A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use," said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. "It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car," he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions 

   The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% - an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined - and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife." 

   Avoiding meat and dairy is 'single biggest way' to reduce your impact on Earth https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth

9. Hope that it is real? Kind of sick isn't it?

10. As the earth warms the perma frost regions start releasing even more methane, another greenhouse gas. There is a vast amount of frozen methane in the oceans. As that is released it compounds the problem. It's happening right now. The Earth has a delicate balance. We humans have messed with that. Now, we started the ball rolling. It is feeding on itself. We have already reached the tipping point. If we humans disappeared immediately, the ball would keep rolling. We have started something we are unable to stop. That time has passed. Now, we are just going through the motions pretending we can do something about it. There is no going back now.

11. Ok. We will stop producing steel and plastics. Stop eating meat. Can't use coal. Can't use oil. Can't use plastic. Does anyone really think that is even remotely possible? Because, this will take many years even if you can get countries to do it. Good luck with that.

12. Why are we still talking about what will happen by 2100 when all the literature and scientist (including most of the 2100 timeline scientist) are now say these things will come about by 2050 and some of those 2030.
    A 2 degree increase is already going to happen based on the carbon we have already put into the atmosphere.
    That said all the IPCC authors state that we are doomed unless everyone in the world suddenly stops using petroleum based products knowing full well that this is not only not going to happen but corporations will endeavour to use all of them before ity becomes irrelevant.
    Only interest left for the population is to watch the elites try and run for the non existent life rafts.

13. She says she was part of the making of the report then she should feel guilty for not telling that there models were designed to be linier and not non linier and that many feed backs were not included in the models. One being methane and the slowing of the ocean currents. Things are a lot worse than IPCC has said. Just this year the ice moved away from the northern shores of Greenland and that was not to happen for many decades making IPCC report outdated already. They making it looks like we have the financial means of making all these changes fast enough and all this extra manufacturing will only add massive amount s of CO2.

14. RECORD SNOW, ICE and RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES……right now across the Earth and especially the Northern Hemisphere………
    I don't know how any of this is possible right in the wake of the IPCC gathering and their renewed consensus of Man-Made CO2 Global Meltdown by 2030……
    If the IPCC models don't predict this kind of weather in their Man-Made CO2 Global Meltdown Climate Change Models then we may not be able to view their predictions as credible going forwad.
    None of the IPCC models of Man-Made CO2 Global Meltdown have reasonably predicted future climate outcome since their inception……

15. Capitalism demonises those who do not consume. It's actually too late anyway. Almost no one dare speak the truth, certainly not the IPCC.

16. Change is not gonna happen. Kiss your ass goodbye or at least your kids. Live, Love, Laugh. That's all that's left. That's all we had but it's coming to an end.

17. She wrote part of the report and is suggesting that gas is still viable because renewables are intermittent? Battery storage + renewables is already totally viable to replace any fossil fuel. They need to get someone better for the next report. Total insanity.

18. The human species is currently organized as various countries (like cancerous organs who are ready to kill other cancerous organs) so probably more practical to be pessimistic, and the death of the human species from the very many cancerous countries is probably going to be very painful which is true of most cancer deaths.

19. An ice free arctic summer 2019 or 2020 means an immediate temperature spike with higher crop losses, already down 20%-30% in 2018 and game over for humanity. A 40% crop loss doesn't bode well for 7.6 billion people. IPCC stands for Idiots Predicting Climate Change.

20. Probably alternative energy sources will not be able to keep up with overconsumption and overpopulation. Few people have followed the example of scientist Kevin Anderson to give up cars and planes. The minimum requirement for each person is actually only about 2,000 calories per day per person (from digesting and burning food) if fire was never discovered, whereas, currently, each american is maybe burning about 200,000 calories per day.

21. Fossil fuels will probably be used forever bec fossil fuels (plus chemicals and plastic derived from fossil fuels) are much more useful than the alternatives.

22. How do we reduce the number of people? That's the root cause of all of this. 7 billion more people than the planet can sustain.

23. All far too late. WASF.

24. We are at .14 degrees away from global cooling. iPCC is in trouble and panicking just like when hey were caught with the fake hockystick. Its the sun cycles and has nothing to do with CO2.
