Global Warming -- We're All Doomed -- Again, The Washington Post Blames President Trump -- Reality Is Quite Different -- February 20, 2018
For the record: it is 12 degrees below zero in the Grand Canyon today. It was fortunate that President Obama, through an executive order, ordered the Grand Canyon to be CO2-free by 2016:
******************************
The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling -- We're All Doomed
From The Washington Post [personal comments in brackets]:
Barely two years ago, after weeks of intense bargaining in Paris, leaders from 195 countries announced a global agreement that once had seemed impossible. [Signing a piece of paper with no intention of enforcing the guidelines is "hardly" impossible.]
For the first time, the nations of the world would band together [like one big tribe] to reduce humanity’s reliance on fossil fuels in an effort to hold off the most devastating effects of climate change. [The most devastating: the loss of Tuvalu, which has since then grown much bigger.]
“History will remember this day,” the secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, said amid a backdrop of diplomats cheering and hugging. [#MeToo]
Two years later, the euphoria of Paris is colliding with the reality of the present.
Global emissions of carbon dioxide are rising again after several years of remaining flat.
The United States, under President Trump, is planning to withdraw from the Paris accord and is expected to see emissions increase by 1.8 percent this year, after a three-year string of declines. Other countries, too, are showing signs they might fail to live up to the pledges they made in Paris.
In short, the world is off target.The story fails to mention that NOAA has been found to be fudging the current data. No link. Easily found.
But, The Washington Post clearly tells us we are already doomed, if anyone is really paying attention to these graphs (and I don't think they are):
But this is key. This is the only paragraph in the story that calls out names:
Brazil has struggled to rein in deforestation, which fuels greenhouse gas emissions. In Turkey, Indonesia and other countries with growing economies, new coal plants are being planned to meet the demand for electricity. In the United States, the federal government has scaled back its support for clean energy and ramped up support for fossil fuels.
- Does anyone see the 100-kg elephant in the room? India
- Does anyone see the 50-kg panda in the room? China
- Does anyone see the country returning to coal? Germany
- others? Mexico, South Korea, Japan (closing down nuclear reactors, returning to fossil fuel); and the list goes on and on and on
By the way, the linked Washington Post story appears to be a faxed press release supplied by the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research and edited for publication. I doubt any reporter was sent to the Tyndall Center to get the story.
