The hilarious history of climate tipping points Thomas Lifson The UN is trying to scare us into believing we have only 15 years left. It looks ridiculous doing so, considering all the similar declarations that have come and gone. A brief history of climate tipping point declarations discloses that the only scary hot air comes from warmist blowhards. Marc Morano at Climate Depot debunks the fake hysteria being generated to jjstify a massive tax and power grab: According to the Boston Globe, the United Nations has issued a new climate tipping point by which the world must act to avoid dangerous global warming. The Boston Globe noted on April 16, 2014: The world now has a rough deadline for action on climate change. Nations need to take aggressive action in the next 15 years to cut carbon emissions, in order to forestall the worst effects of global warming, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Once again, the world is being warned of an ecological or climate tipping point by the UN. In 1982, the UN issued a two decade tipping point. UN official Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP), warned on May 11, 1982, the world faces an ecological disaster as final as nuclear war within a couple of decades unless governments act now. According to Tolba in 1982, lack of action would bring by the turn of the century, an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust. There are plenty more such examples: As early as 1989, the UN was already trying to sell their tipping point rhetoric to the public. See: U.N. Warning of 10-Year Climate Tipping Point Began in 1989 (snip) Its all so confusing. In 2007, UN IPCC chief Pachauri declared 2012 as the climate deadline to act or it would be too late. See: Celebrate! UN IPCC Chairman Pachauri: Its Too Late to Fight Climate Change! (snip) Not to be outdone by the UN, Former Irish President Mary Robinson weighed in this week, issuing a more generous 20 year tipping point. (snip) Not to be left out, NASA got in the climate tipping point act in 2009. See: NASAs James Hansen Declared Obama Only First Term to Save The Planet! - On Jan. 17, 2009 Hansen declared Obama only has four years to save Earth (snip) But in 2012, the UN gave Obama and planet Earth another four year reprieve. See: Tipping points extended again: UN Foundation Pres. Warmist Tim Wirth: 2012 is Obamas last window of opportunity to get it right on climate change Former Vice President Al Gore also created a 10 year climate tipping point in 2006 (snip) Then, Michael Mann weighed in with his 2036 Mayan calendar type deadline. See: 2036 is the new 2012?! UN Scientist Michael Mann starts his own Mayan Calendar deadline: Global Warming Will Cross a Dangerous Threshold in 2036′ The list goes on and on. Dont these people realize that they are now well into the boy who cried wolf territory? This is the sort of thing Saturday Night Live ought to be parodying.
