The Crisis Report - 16
We live in the "Anthrosphere". Like the Biosphere it is in CRISIS.
EVERYTHING happening in the World today is connected to GLOBAL WARMING and the CLIMATE CHANGE it brings.
WE ARE OUT OF TIME, IT’S ABOUT TO GET A LOT HOTTER.
At the current levels of atmospheric CO2 we are on track to reach a Climate State last seen around 4–8 million years ago known as the “Pliocene”. The world was a warmer place then.
The Fossil Fuel Elites and the Climate Science “Moderates” of the 80’s thought we would have hundreds of years of “slow warming”. That there would be plenty of time to develop technologies like FUSION that would let us “fix” the climate sometime in the FUTURE.
They were wrong.
The Crisis is upon us, “right now”.
For the last 50 years the Elites have chosen what the global “Climate Policy” would be. It’s reflective of their choices and their power that not one government on the planet is run by a “Green Party”.
NOT ONE.
That isn’t an accident.
The Fossil Fuel Elites/Industry has been manipulating opinion about Global Warming since the 70’s. The key point to understand about this manipulation is that they have always demonstrated foreknowledge.
Again and again, they have used disinformation campaigns to shape public opinion and define the social narrative just before an effect of global warming has become apparent.
They have really good climate models because theirs aren’t hobbled by false assumptions and sand thrown in the gears.
Exxon scientists in the 1970s accurately predicted climate change
Analysis of internal climate projections shows Exxon scientists knew the harm of burning fossil fuels, while firm’s executives played down the risk
Revealed: Exxon made ‘breathtakingly’ accurate climate predictions in 1970s and 80s
Oil company drove some of the leading science of the era only to publicly dismiss global heating
Exxon’s Climate Denial History: A Timeline
A review of Exxon’s knowledge and subsequent denial of climate change.
Exxon disputed climate findings for years. Its scientists knew better.
Research shows that company modeled and predicted global warming with ‘shocking skill and accuracy’ starting in the 1970s.
Harvard and Potsdam researchers analyzed Exxon’s predictive “skill scores,” or how their predictions matched what actually happened.
They found that Exxon scientists were producing climate research in the 70’s and 80’s with an average skill score of 75 percent.
In comparison, NASA scientist James Hansen, who famously presented his global warming predictions to Congress in 1988, had an average skill score of 66 percent.
The disinformation and misdirection campaigns of the Fossil Fuel Elites have been very successful. They have managed to prevent a political consensus from forming around a transition to a sustainable future.
“The science of climate change is too uncertain to mandate a plan of action that could plunge economies into turmoil,” said one Exxon ad, addressing proposals in the late 1990s for the U.S. to join an international climate accord at the time.
They have never been a neutral party in this matter and they have aggressively protected their interests. Mostly to keep us using fossil fuels for as long as possible.
They seem willing to watch 50% of the “surplus population” die by 2100. Are you willing to watch your children starve in the coming years so that the 1% can collect more billions?
