    Climate alarmists – prophets they're not


    Climate alarmists – prophets they're not

    A senior U.N. official says entire nations have ten years to act on global warming or be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels. It sounds like something in today's headlines, but that prediction was made for the year 2000 ... in 1989.

    The Associated Press covered the prediction on June 29, 1989. Noel Brown, who was then director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Protection (UNEP), said coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of "eco-refugees," threatening political chaos. Brown went on to say that governments have a ten-year window opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

    "No prediction made by any climate alarmist has ever proven to be true," says Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com. "They've been making them for more than 30 years now. None have been right. Their models stink. I'm not quite sure why anyone would believe them."

    But people do believe them. For example, the "Green New Deal" sponsored by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Senator Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts) is based on a more recent U.N. prediction that the world has roughly 12 years to act on climate change.

    "I don't know how this is ever going to go away," says Milloy. "That's why that AP article ought to be useful – because ... 30 years ago they predicted that nations are going to be gone by the year 2000. Well, we're still here – and sea level rise is really not a problem."

    OneNewsNow is seeking comment from climate scientists.

    The moonbats have been yammering on for decades making hysterical scare tactic laden, false predictions. Total 100% bonafide manipulation. Sheesh

    For about 30 years we had the same tv meteorologist. He was highly respected in his field. He never bought into the global warming stuff.

    The way I remember it they said that we have to act within those ten years or else climate change will become irreversible. That doesn't mean that those things would happen by the year 2000 rather it means that from 2000 and on the process towards where it will eventually be like that would be impossible to reverse.

    U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked
    Peter James Spielmann
    June 29, 1989

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ 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.

    Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of 'eco- refugees,' ' threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

    He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

    As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

    Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt's arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.

    Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what's worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn't have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara? he said.

    UNEP estimates it would cost the United States at least $100 billion to protect its east coast alone.

    Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions
    to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands, while the Soviet Union could reap bumper crops if it adapts its agriculture in time, according to a study by UNEP and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.....

    When God pours out his wrath in the bowl, vial and trumpet judgements, I can picture these tree hugging types running around dancing and crying for joy saying “see! It’s finally happening! Told ya so!!”.

    Godismyjudge, that doesn't mean that nations will be wiped out by 2000. It means that by 2000 they will be able to say that nations will with certainty be wiped out in the future since we didn't do what was required to reverse the process during the years 1989-2000. That was what they were concerned about (and were still concerned about in the early 2000s), that climate catastrophy would soon be unstoppable.

    I can read Colonel.

    What makes you think I read it differently?

    Technically we don't know whether climate change ending in catastrophy is irreversible by today or not. Or if that started in or before 2000 or not. So we don't really know if their "prophecy" is true or not.
