- UN Recycling 60 Year Old Propaganda: 2014 UN Claim: Melting ‘ice sheets could swamp coastal regions’- 1952 Claim: ‘Polar icecaps were melting at an astonishing…rate threatening to swamp seaports’
Via Real Science website:
UN IPCC 2014 Claim: "'Irreversible' could mean, for instance, a runaway melt of Greenland’s vast ice sheets that could swamp coastal regions" (See: UPDATE 1-Climate change fight affordable, cut emissions to zero by 2100-UN | Reuters)
Scientists said almost exactly the same thing in 1952, in almost exactly the same words.
1952: POLAR ICE THAW INCREASING GLACIERS SAID TO BE MELTING
CLEVELAND, Feb. 16 (A.A.P.) Dr. William S. Carlson, an Arctic expert, said to-night that the Polar icecaps were melting at an astonishing and unexplained rate and were threatening to swamp seaports by raising the ocean levels.

MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen: Increases in CO₂ ‘have been accompanied by the greatest increase in human welfare in history’
Lindzen: "Despite the fact that increases of CO₂ thus far have been accompanied by the greatest increase in human welfare in history, and despite the fact that there have been large increases in the Earth’s vegetated area largely due to increases in CO₂’s role in photosynthesis, governments seem to have concluded that another 0.5 C will spell doom."
"China's emissions that presumably have led to the observed increase in CO₂ have continued to increase. Increasing emissions from China, India, and the rest of the developing world swamp the small reductions in the Anglosphere and the European Union. Indeed, if emissions from the Anglosphere and the EU were to cease (which is of course an impossibility), it would make little difference. According to the Global Energy Monitor, China is planning the addition of 200 GW of coal-fired generating capacity by 2025. If we assume this is a four-year period and that a large-scale power plant is 1 GW, that would be about one plant per week over the next four years...they also recognize that climate hysteria in the West leads to policies that clearly benefit China. Indeed, China is actually promoting activities like the Sino-American Youth Dialogue on climate change to promote climate alarm among young American activists."

We’re Saved! Bill Gates latest big climate investment is . . . milk – ‘This milk fights climate change’
On its website, the company lists the number of pounds of CO2 that were offset to give the milk that tagline—12 pounds, in the case of a carton of organic 2% milk. The company works with dairies to reduce emissions as much as possible, and then offsets the rest, making each product carbon neutral. “Because consumers are buying this milk, we’re investing directly in dairy farms on climate reduction technologies and projects,” says Marcus Lovell Smith, CEO of Neutral, which claims to be the first carbon-neutral food brand in the U.S., though others are also now offsetting their footprints. ... Neutral announced today that it raised a seed round of funding led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the climate-focused VC fund founded by Bill Gates.
