Nope.
Need one of those doomsday predictions that are based on your "scientific" facts.

Cmon. This isn't difficult. Quit trying to move the goal posts.

 

Which "facts" would those be, genius?
The fact that the people telling us those "facts" are lying hypocrites?

 

The ones you won't accept under any circumstance. Not my problem you ignore reality.

 

What is an ice age?
An ice age is a long interval of time (millions to tens of millions of years) when global temperatures are relatively cold and large areas of the Earth are covered by continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within an ice age are multiple shorter-term periods of warmer temperatures when glaciers retreat (called interglacials or interglacial cycles) and colder temperatures when glaciers advance (called glacials or glacial cycles).

At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth’s history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago. The last period of glaciation, which is often informally called the “Ice Age,” peaked about 20,000 years ago. At that time, the world was on average probably about 10°F (5°C) colder than today, and locally as much as 40°F (22°C) colder.

What causes an ice age and glacial-interglacial cycles?
Many factors contribute to climate variations, including changes in ocean and atmosphere circulation patterns, varying concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and even volcanic eruptions. The following discusses key factors in (1) initiating ice ages and (2) the timing of glacial-interglacial cycles.



Four fairly regular glacial-interglacial cycles occurred during the past 450,000 years. The shorter interglacial cycles (10,000 to 30,000 years) were about as warm as present and alternated with much longer (70,000 to 90,000 years) glacial cycles substantially colder than present. Notice the longer time with jagged cooling events dropping into the colder glacials followed by the faster abrupt temperature swings to the warmer interglacials. This graph combines several ice-core records from Antarctica and is modified from several sources including Evidence for Warmer Interglacials in East Antarctic Ice Cores, 2009, L.C. Sime and others. Note the shorter time scale of 450,000 years compared to the previous figure, as well as the colder temperatures, which are latitude-specific (e.g., Antartica, Alaska, Greenland) temperature changes inferred from the Antarctic ice cores (and not global averages).

One significant trigger in initiating ice ages is the changing positions of Earth’s ever-moving continents, which affect ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns. When plate-tectonic movement causes continents to be arranged such that warm water flow from the equator to the poles is blocked or reduced, ice sheets may arise and set another ice age in motion. Today’s ice age most likely began when the land bridge between North and South America (Isthmus of Panama) formed and ended the exchange of tropical water between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, significantly altering ocean currents.

Glacials and interglacials occur in fairly regular repeated cycles. The timing is governed to a large degree by predictable cyclic changes in Earth’s orbit, which affect the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of Earth’s surface. The three orbital variations are: (1) changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun (eccentricity), (2) shifts in the tilt of Earth’s axis (obliquity), and (3) the wobbling motion of Earth’s axis (precession).

How do we know about past ice ages?
Scientists have reconstructed past ice ages by piecing together information derived from studying ice cores, deep sea sediments, fossils, and landforms.

Ice and sediment cores reveal an impressive detailed history of global climate. Cores are collected by driving long hollow tubes as much as 2 miles deep into glacial ice or ocean floor sediments. Ice cores provide annual and even seasonal climate records for up to hundreds of thousands of years, complementing the millions of years of climate records in ocean sediment cores.

Within just the past couple of decades, ice cores recovered from Earth’s two existing ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, have revealed the most detailed climate records yet.

Do ice ages come and go slowly or rapidly?



Simplified chart showing when the five major ice ages occurred in the past 2.4 billion years of Earth’s history. Modified from several sources including Dynamical Paleoclimatology: Generalized Theory of Global Climate Change, 2002, by Barry Saltzman.

Records show that ice ages typically develop slowly, whereas they end more abruptly. Glacials and interglacials within an ice age display this same trend.

On a shorter time scale, global temperatures fluctuate often and rapidly. Various records reveal numerous large, widespread, abrupt climate changes over the past 100,000 years. One of the more recent intriguing findings is the remarkable speed of these changes. Within the incredibly short time span (by geologic standards) of only a few decades or even a few years, global temperatures have fluctuated by as much as 15°F (8°C) or more. For example, as Earth was emerging out of the last glacial cycle, the warming trend was interrupted 12,800 years ago when temperatures dropped dramatically in only several decades. A mere 1,300 years later, temperatures locally spiked as much as 20°F (11°C) within just several years. Sudden changes like this occurred at least 24 times during the past 100,000 years.

Just one.
Point to just one doomsday PREDICTION made in the last 50 years that has come true.
You do understand the difference between a "fact" and a prediction, right?

 

Here's a fun fact;
In 1800 it is estimated that about 95 MILLION Bison roamed in America.
Today in America there are 75 MILLION cows. This includes dairy and feed cows.

But cow farts are contributing to the global ........... whatever it is they call it now??

What, Bison didn't fart?

 

Remember the old tv show "You Asked For It"?
In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect. In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth's atmosphere to global warming.

 

Humans tend to be very arrogant and egotistical about themselves. That somehow they are above other life forms and the rules for existence that apply to them don't apply to us humans. But they are wrong about that. And humans can easily go extinct. We already almost did.




The early ancestors of humans were reduced to 1,300 individuals and came close to extinction, scientists say

Early human ancestors came close to becoming extinct between 800,000 and 900,000 years ago, scientists say.

Scientists believe that an evolutionary bottleneck might have been caused by an extreme climate event, which they estimate left just 1,280 breeding individuals of our ancestors for about 117,000 years, The Guardian reported.

"The numbers that emerge from our study correspond to those of species that are currently at risk of extinction," Giorgio Manzi, an anthropologist at Sapienza University of Rome and a senior author of the study, told the paper.

The results were found by conducting a genomics analysis of more than 3,000 living people, per the study published in the journal Science,

Professor Chris Stringer, who was not involved in the research but is the head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London, told The Guardian: "It's an extraordinary length of time. It's remarkable that we did get through at all. For a population of that size, you just need one bad climate event, an epidemic, a volcanic eruption and you're gone."

The population decline appears to come around a time of long periods of glaciation, meaning sea surface temperatures decreased and a drought might have occurred in Africa and Eurasia, per The Guardian.

Researchers said that this epoch was also relatively empty on the Earth's fossil record in Africa, which is the collection of fossils found in rock and sediment layers that map out the history of life on the planet.

It is possible that the bottleneck was a local phenomenon, as there is not enough evidence to show that there was a global "blank" in the fossil record of early humans, Stringer said.

This bottleneck might have led to the emergence of a new species, Homo heidelbergensis, believed to be a common ancestor of modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans.

"It was lucky [that we survived], but … we know from evolutionary biology that the emergence of a new species can happen in small, isolated populations," Manzi said, per the paper.

This population decline occurred about the same time human ancestors split from Neanderthals and Denisovans.

Scientists are now planning to study whether Neanderthal and Denisovan genes also show this population drop, which could reveal more about when and why these species separated, The Guardian noted.

So, we're down to taking "facts" (CO2 is a greenhouse gas) and morphing into HUMAN CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE and morphing that into this;

And still, you haven't taken any of those doomsday predictions, from Gore or Kerry or any of the "experts" and shown that they have come true.

 

Ah poor Al Gore. Was the true peoples choice in 2000. So we got Bush and that Iraq war, 9/11 and the great recession.

 

We are increasingly at risk of possibly going extinct , or at least becoming
an endangered species.

A very simple example ,
is our collective stupidity in dealing with the covid virus ,
and we are far from out if it's grasp ,
and
may never be.
If , for example ,
it mutated to a form like the MERS virus ,
it could kill one third of the world population
quite quickly,
and having spread to that extent ,
quite likely to mutate into an even deadlier form.

If that type of scenarios were to develop ,
then even without mutating to a worse form , it could continue killing about a third of the population on a continuing cycle .

A third of the population this year leaves 66%
A third of the population next year leaves 44%
but of course MERS didn't take anywhere near a year to kill one third of its victims,
so you can extrapolate the numbers any way you like.
A third of the population the year after leaves 29.4%
really really in trouble by then , with lack of maintenance , skills and knowledge , and consequently things like not enough medical people , or ability to discover and produce solutions etc
A third dying in the 4th year , leaves less than 20% of us
then only 14%
and next , less than 10%

 

The fear factor.
People so afraid of dying they quit living.
What if?????

President Biden is right. Treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans treasure their ignorance and are anti science and anti education because they depend on low information voters they can motivate with fear hate and anger. But when it comes to human caused global warming/climate change its more than just the overwhelming scientific consensus and the tons of data gathered over decades of studies. It is the predictions that are happening right before their very eyes and in many cases directly impacting them. The scientists accurately predicted we would begin to see more and more extreme weather events all over the globs. And here in the US we go from one disaster to the other. Like hurricane Hilary hitting the west coast, the most deadly wildfire in history at Maui and hurricane Idalia hitting Florida. And smaller events like 7-,000 people stuck in the mud at Burning Man when they got hit with two months worth of rain in a matter of hours.

The predicted ramifications of global warning/climate change are tangible and observable. And people have to be willfully ignorant to try and deny it.



Biden: ‘Nobody intelligent’ can deny the impact of climate crisis

President Biden on Saturday said that no intelligent person can deny the impacts of climate change after the president toured storm damage in Florida from Hurricane Idalia.

“Nobody can deny the impact of climate crises—at least nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore. Just look around, around the nation and the world for that matter,” Biden said while in Live Oak, Fla. “Historic floods, intense droughts, extreme heat, deadly wildfires that have caused serious damage that we’ve never seen before.”

He traveled to the Sunshine State to survey damage, meet with survivors and thank personnel leading the response and recovery efforts, alongside first lady Jill Biden. He was also joined by Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Live Oak major Frank Davis and other local officials.

“These crises are affecting more and more Americans. And every American rightly expects [Federal Emergency Management Agency] to show up when they’re needed and to help in a disaster,” Biden said. “So I’m calling on the United States Congress, Democrats and Republicans, to ensure the funding is there to deal with the immediate crises, as well as our long term commitments to the safety and security of the America people.”


Biden on Friday announced he is seeking an additional $4 billion to replenish the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund, bringing the total the administration is asking Congress to approve to $16 billion.

The additional funding is in response to the Maui wildfires, for which Biden signed a major disaster declaration to support recovery efforts, and to Hurricane Idalia — quickly downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved inland from Florida toward Georgia and the Carolinas — which also required a major disaster declaration.

While in Florida, Biden and Scott thanked one another for their work on the hurricane response, a change after Biden has often bashed Scott’s policy proposals for government programs like Social Security and Medicare. Meanwhile, Florida Gov. DeSantis’ office on Friday said the governor didn’t have plans to meet with Biden, saying having the two meet up could put strain on the state’s disaster response.

The White House has expressed that they didn’t know what happened with the meeting and that the governor’s office gave no previous indication that he would not meet with Biden.
