They hear about glaciers melting around the world, sea levels rising, and coral reefs are dying and call it Fake News. Idiots.
Like the breakneck COVID vaccine, they want some miraculous technology engineered by scientists devout Believers that will simultaneously allow them to call it a hoax that sprung from untrustworthy foreigners (beyond vanilla prideful denial) and devour said Believers should they deviate from the fox newsmax script.
Did UN Official Say Nations Would Vanish If Global Warming Not Reversed by 2000? | Snopes.com On June 29, 1989, the Associated Press (AP) ran a story based on an interview with the director of the New York office of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) that began with this doomsday lede: "A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." This statement is frequently presented as an example of climate scientists being both alarmist and incorrect, and serves as the basis for clickbait posts from several climate denial media outlets. The Backstory The senior U.N. official speaking to the Associated Press was Noel Brown, who served as a regional director of the United Nations Environment Program and who was not a climate scientist. While admittedly alarmist, this senior U.N official’s statements appear to have been muddied further by the Associated Press’s somewhat imprecise reporting on the topic. The Associated Press article created confusion in two ways. First, it suggested (at least to some media outlets) that the statement meant that nations would be under water in the year 2000. In fact, his statement said nations would be under water at some time in the more distant future, "If the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." The scenarios in the papers cited by the AP described projections that went into the year 2100. ... Importantly, however, none of these scientific papers asserted that this would happen by the year 2000 — as some have taken the Associated Press lede to suggest — nor do they say anything about a 10-year window of time before that fate is sealed. Sea-level projections made in the late 1980s actually hold up fairly well to sea-level projections made more recently. Via email, Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist for the independent, nongovernmental Berkeley Earth research group, told us sea-level projections made in the first IPCC report are not that far off from those made in the fifth IPCC report: The scientific consensus at the time was summed up in the IPCC first assessment report, which projected sea level rise by 2100 of 0.66 meters under a high emissions scenario, with an uncertainty range spanning 0.31 meters to 1.1 meters. This is quite similar to the 0.74 meter estimate (ranging from 0.52 to 0.98 meters) in the IPCC Fifth Assessment report published in 2013. [...] Predictions of massive sea level rise by 2000 [were] clearly not the view of most scientists at the time, as [they were] well outside any estimates from the 1990 IPCC first assessment report.
Or they wonder why their home insurance rates are rapidly rising, their electricity rates are rising, and it’s been flooding a lot more.
Coming from a guy who makes EV cars. He's quite the contradictory wanting to sell them in a state like Texas where politicians are all about gas and the oil industry. Then again, those politicians are a contradictory in themselves, when it makes them money too.
It’s been said a million times before. But also subsidized by the government with tax dollars. Which brings the real humor from the meme.
@AroundTheWorld Germans are some of the dumbest people in the world. They allow their nuclear plants to shut down without any protests but have no issue rioting and attacking the largest EV company in the world in the name of "climate change" Utterly unhinged
I agree, as far as these idiots and the dumbass government with its energy policies are concerned. Dumbest in the world indeed. As you might have guessed, I am neither on the side of these leftist radicals nor on that of the German dumbass government.
