'The U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the UK’s Royal Society: 'The current CO2-induced warming of Earth is therefore essentially irreversible on human timescales.' - 'Even if emissions of greenhouse gases were to suddenly stop, Earth’s surface temperature would not cool and return to the level in the pre-industrial era for thousands of years,' according to the joint publication. Global surface temperatures would stay elevated for a thousand years and sea levels would continue to rise for centuries — even after temperatures stopped rising.''

Morano: 'The organization [NAS] is virtually 100% dependent on government funding. So when they do a study like this – and they've done other studies in the past – you know the outcome of these studies before they do them. The actual funding quote from new study is: 'The sudden changes in the climate is full of uncertainties. The world can prepare by better monitoring,' Morano offers. 'And it goes on [to say that] because of budget cuts and aging satellites, we have fewer measurements than we did a few years ago.'

'When the NAS is advocating for a carbon tax, it's not too surprising that all [their] reports are going to fall in line.'

AP’s Seth Borenstein: ‘FEDERAL STUDY WARNS OF SUDDEN CLIMATE CHANGE WOES’

'The 200-page report by the National Academy of Sciences looked at warming problems that can occur in years instead of centuries. The report repeatedly warns of potential 'tipping points' where the climate passes thresholds, beyond which 'major and rapid changes occur.' - 'The report says abrupt changes like melting ice in the Arctic Ocean and mass species extinctions have already started and are worse than predicted.'

NAS study shills for more climate funding!

'The scientists said the issue of sudden changes is full of uncertainties, so the world can better prepare by monitoring places like Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets more. But because of budget cuts and aging satellites, researchers have fewer measurements of these crucial indicators than they did a few years ago and will have even fewer in upcoming years'

'Scientific societies like the AGU, are important sources of support and credibility for climate catastrophe. Scientists are the inventors of the catastrophe theories as well as the beneficiaries of the cash and attention that such theories generate' -- 'The AGU has an official position statement on global warming...currently being rewritten by a committee of 14 people'

Chris McEntee, AGU executive director 'had spoken formally during her presentation about having AGU lead an effort involving major scientific societies in 'educating' Congress...including strategic targeting of specific legislators. 'It's not something the old AGU would do,' Rutgers' Alan Robock said from the floor, but McEntee's statements received overwhelmingly favorable reaction from those in attendance'
