It is all a lie perpetuated by liberal socialist democrats to bring people under government control. There is no such thing as climate change there is zero scientific evidence and this is based on the fact that we as a society believe our short time on earth must be the end all be all of intelligence and facts. we are so insignificant and the mere thought that we could change the climate is absurd.

“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.”

DOES NOT SAY the NATIONS will be wiped out, it say if ACTION is not taken.

Read it again people and don;t get sucked in by climate change denier lies.

Anyone with an ounce of critical thought knows that Global Warming is a scam to take away our rights. The Earth is now 5% greener than it was 20 years ago. CO2 is plant food and crops are growing in abundance.
Only the deeply brainwashed still believe in the catastrophic global warming propaganda.
They’re the same ones who typically still believe that the Covid vaccines work to.
Too many gullible people in the world today that’s for sure.

It was a comment by an official who was not a climate scientist (see https://www.pace.edu/sites/default/files/files/commencement/hdr-2003-dr-noel-j-brown.pdf). He was a lawyer and a diplomat. Climate models have historically done well at predicting the future Global global mean surface temperature (GMST) changes. See https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2019GL085378. The bottom line quote:

“We find that climate models published over the past five decades were skillful in predicting subsequent GMST changes, with most models examined showing warming consistent with observations, particularly when mismatches between model-projected and observationally estimated forcings were taken into account.”

And Dee Dee’s comment is apt. The guy did not say countries would be devastated by 2000. He said that it would happen at some point in the future if we did not get things under control by 2000. As I said, the guy was not a climate scientist. But, even if he had been, the fact that 2000 passed and countries were not devastated does not show his “prediction” to be wrong.

That was never a consensus view among climate scientists anyway.

Response to Dee dee,
Yet greenhouse gasses exponentially rose and still none of the “predictions” came to pass. We did NOT reverse anything- perhaps you need the comprehension lesson. This entire “global warming”/”climate change” rhetoric is total BS and in hindsight anyone who doesn’t realize it is stupid, brainwashed or a bit of both. PERIOD.

My god, how stunned can you people be.

Read the first paragraph. Read it closely.

It DOES NOT say nations would be wiped off the face of the earth BY 2000.

It said they will be if global warming was not REVERSED by 2000.

You’re a newspaper and you can’t even read the article properly. smh

EVERY generation since cavemen first stumbled into a cave had wingnuts who thought theirs was the last generation on the face of the planet.
Now we combine leftist agenda, mass media, and fake news and viola: much more wingnuts giving legitimacy to the same old crap.
Calm down and unbunch those panties this world is going on and on for many many many generations yet to come.
Relax fools and live your lives without fake fear.

The 1989 article remains correct. The year 2000 was the point where we needed to lower Co2 emissions before a positive feedback loop would kick in causing some of the effects mentioned in the article by later in our current century. The only difference between then and now is that the effects are predicted to be earlier and earlier because we have not sufficiently lowered emissions because corporations like Exxon and Monsanto realized lowering emissions would be bad for business and funded a campaign to create confusion and make this a partisan issue. Co2 absorbs heat. That’s what it does. It takes 100 years to leave our atmosphere. The amount of Co2 in the atmosphere is easy to measure. This is 1+1=2; not rocket science.

The truth

Every few years it seems this same report is recycled….We are going to face extinction in 10-12 years if we dont send all our money to the environmentalists, stop using fossil fuels and eating farting cows. Just so everyone knows…once all the carbon restrictions are passed, no one except the government elites will be allowed to fly, own a vehicle, eat meat, consume excess energy, or do anything else they deem “not good for you”. None of the so called climate change proponents will stop using fossil fuels, but they demand you do….and it will be ok for them to have a huge carbon footprint, because they are trying to effect change!

And after all that if they’re successful… it will have no effect on earthquakes, volcanos, meteorites, hurricanes, tornados, typhoons, tsunamis, or any catastrophic weather event that begins in the atmosphere or deep in the earths core.

If anyone thinks we as humans can change the course of nature…I’d like to hear how they propose to do it. All this climate change agenda will do is make everyone poor, reduce our quality of life, take away our liberty,our freedoms, the Bill of Rights….and give a few thousand elites the power to control our lives completely.
