Wow. I’m old enough to remember when climate alarmists gave the world ten years to live unless we stopped using air-conditioning and started recycling our own poop. And that was over twenty years ago.
I guess we can blame inflation or something.
Chelsea Clinton – ever the indomitable warrior for causes that make zero sense and that no one cares about – tweeted out this panicky article from the Washington Post about how we only have three years to turn around the effects of climate change –
These experts say we have 3 years to get climate change under control. And they’re the optimists-The Washington Post https://t.co/ZCFGpiswXa

A group of prominent scientists, policymakers, and corporate leaders released a statement Wednesday warning that if the world doesn’t set greenhouse gas emissions on a downward path by 2020, it could become impossible to contain climate change within safe limits.
The group, led by Christiana Figueres, who oversaw the United Nations negotiations that produced the Paris climate agreement, base their case on simple math. The world, they calculate, probably has a maximum of 600 billion remaining tons of carbon dioxide that can be emitted if we want a good chance of holding the rise in planetary temperatures within the Paris limit of 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius (2.7 to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
2020, huh? Nice round year. Considerate of Mother Nature to give us a figure that rolls off the tongue like that. Not as dramatic as the planet dying by the year 2000 (as I was CONSTANTLY taught in elementary school), but when one leftist control fantasy doesn’t work out, they have to keep moving the goal posts.
Oh, and 2020 is oh-so-conveniently an election year. Fancy that.
An election year. Magical coincidence https://t.co/cbdwEQlQWm

“The world will end” & “Everyone will die” is what you do as a party when you can’t explain how your policies will stop it.

So in 3 years we must become hunter-gatherers or else! Then when nothing happens, as usual, the world will end in 3 more years. Algore 2012

Lies, lies, lies… also, see 1970’s were predictions were for the next ice age. Never happened. This is all bs.

If Republicans cut their funding THE WORLD WILL END IN 2020!!

Also – wondering if these are the same sorts of “experts” that predicted Hillary would win the election –
Are those the same “experts” that predicted a land slide win for Mommy dearest? #stoptweeting

Here’s a start, Chelsea – how about you get off whatever device you typically use to tweet. I’m certain those EEEEEEVIL electronic gadgets use quite a bit of planet-killing energy.
So you’re saying in 3 years either the “experts” will be wrong as usual or we won’t have to see your Tweets anymore #Winning

I’ll take that scenario, sure.
