Produce your own Climate Doom Scenarios – online tools for laymen and scientists alike
Why leave all the fun of creating climate doomsday scenarios to the "professionals"!? Now, you can relax in your living room and create future theoretical doom to the planet using the same tools the shaman climate scientists use!
By Dennis Ambler
You too can become a climate scientist – just download these handy tools and generate your own doom-laden scenario, see how your town will be inundated in 12 years time, or create an attribution study, send it off to PNAS for guaranteed acceptance and perhaps launch a lawsuit against an oil company for climate justice compensation, funding unlikely to be a problem:

Source for these projections is a NASA/GISS paper from 2014: Kopp et al, one of the et al’s being Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton, formerly of Environmental Defense and still advising them. https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/
There is a notable high level of scientific accuracy, because…
The experts of course, are themselves and their colleagues, who think, (because they are experts), that this is all “90% likely.”

Crop projections?
Projected changes in yields (%) relative to 2000 (multi-model ensemble median) for each crop grown in the country at different warming levels.

This online tool is a resource for climate scientists which allows relating climate impact studies to warming targets like 1.5°C and 2°C.
This is a random example:
“year of exceedance (period of exceedance)
| 1.5 °C | 2.0 °C | 3.0 °C | 4.0 °C | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rcp85 | 2022 (2007-2037) | 2040 (2025-2055) | 2068 (2053-2083) | 2092 (2077-2107) |
The above-projected values are averages over the models:
bcc-csm1-1-m.
The above given periods in brackets refer to the running mean window of 31 years. The warming is calculated from the preindustrial period 1850-1900. We use the observed warming (hadcrut4) until the base period 1980-2000 and then add the projected warming from your model choice.“
“Science”, but not as we know it…
