World headed for irreversible climate change in five years, IEA warns

[KichigaiNeko]

Well, Kichi, I am glad to know the depths of your cynicism.

You've certainly convinced me to sit on my hands and be content in knowing that nothing can change. Quite productive.

I don't see how you can come to that conclusion Moros but thanks for the sarcasm

Well, with Kichi calling climate change a fraud and people in power treating it as a polarization game, I feel that "throwing in the towel" is effectively what we're doing on an individual and collective level.

I've developed parts of global warming simulations and spent better part of a few years interning for such an organization. But, according to the Right, I've wasted my time on a 'fraud'. Guess anything I've to say must be a fraud too.

I fail to see why you are attacking me for something you think I have said. I am saying that the 'Carbon Tax and Carbon Credits/ Trading Scheme' is a fraud...get ya fkn facts straight.

Yes there is climate change...but I have been hearing that alarmist cry for the past 50 years and there is no new information now as opposed to then. I am also highly sceptical of governments as rhythm has pointed out who have been sitting on low fossil fuel alternatives but somehow "conveniently" allow BAU with the oil and coal industries.

And get ya fkn facts straight..the general populace here in Oz are striving to make a difference...have you heard that our Federal and State governments are reducing the rebates for alternative energy use and our Federal government has signed on for another 20 fkn years of Coal powered electricity ??? Geez I wonder why?

If you have spent a decade working on the climate models that will support the argument for "global warming" what you did not include in your model was the greed and avarice of politics

And yes the Climate will change no matter what humans do. As I said in post #4

I agree the we (as a planet) SHOULD clean up our mess! But I do not see how shifting the blame around and "Buying our way out of it" is going to be any help. And what of the Pacific Garbage Dump?? Hmmm??

It angers me that the general population gets slugged again and again and the media hype detracts from the science and issues that really need addressing...I wonder if we can make russian dolls out of our pollies??
