A Huge Climate Change Movement Led By Teenage Girls Is Sweeping Europe. And It’s Coming To The US

Re: A Huge Climate Change Movement Led By Teenage Girls Is Sweeping Europe. And It’s Coming To The

Was it teen age girls who believed Justin Bieber was the greatest talent ever known to humanity? I believe it was. Perspective is important in this case.

So please cite any of the published works of those people that show evidence that the predicted amplified feedbacks exists?

Yes, the very first scientist on the list, Kubasch, does research in this field.

Consider the title of the paper, "Estimates of climate change in Southern Europe derived from dynamical climate model output"
vs empirical evidence? model output is not empirical evidence!

Here are the authors of the IPCC AR5, Chapter 1, Working Group 1. Each Chapter, each working group, has at least this many contributing authors - experts in the field. Meanwhile, with your arrogance, you act like you know better. These people know more about amplified feedbacks than you or any of your bloggers ever will.

The evidence of manmade global warming have for a long time being overwhelming. There you today even the American Intelligence Community under Donald Trump acknowledge the threat from climate change.

"Global environmental and ecological degradation, as well as climate change, are likely to fuel competition for resources, economic distress, and social discontent through 2019 and beyond. Climate hazards such as extreme weather, higher temperatures, droughts, floods, wildfires, storms, sea level rise, soil degradation, and acidifying oceans are intensifying, threatening infrastructure, health, and water and food security. Irreversible damage to ecosystems and habitats will undermine the economic benefits they provide, worsened by air, soil, water, and marine pollution."

Just like that you have this report from many federal agencies under Donald Trump.

"The impacts of climate change are already being felt in communities across the country. More frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities. Future climate change is expected to further disrupt many areas of life, exacerbating existing challenges to prosperity posed by aging and deteriorating infrastructure, stressed ecosystems, and economic inequality. Impacts within and across regions will not be distributed equally. People who are already vulnerable, including lower-income and other marginalized communities, have lower capacity to prepare for and cope with extreme weather and climate-related events and are expected to experience greater impacts. Prioritizing adaptation actions for the most vulnerable populations would contribute to a more equitable future within and across communities. Global action to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions can substantially reduce climate-related risks and increase opportunities for these populations in the longer term."

The global climate movement continues to grow.

'Now she’s become the unexpected founder of an international youth movement. Since the summer, tens of thousands of students in nearly 300 towns and cities from Australia to Uganda to the U.S. to Japan have joined her #FridaysForFuture protest. In Belgium, at the end of January, more than 30,000 students walked out of classes. A worldwide strike is planned for March 15th, with events planned in more than 50 countries. “Before I started, I didn’t expect anything,” Thunberg says. “I could have never imagined this reaction. It’s crazy.”

Her stark truth-telling and cherubic face caught fire online after she spoke at the U.N. climate talks in Poland in December, where, “Emperor’s New Clothes”-style, she called out a room of statesmen and dignitaries three and four times her age, telling them, “You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.”

Thunberg’s movement comes amid an onslaught of increasingly dire warnings about the climate. Scientists recently announced that the world’s oceans are warming 40 percent faster than was previously thought. In October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that global temperatures could rise by the dreaded benchmark of 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels in just 12 years. “We are living in a very interesting time, where something is going to happen,” Thunberg says. “Change is on the horizon, but to see that change we also have to change ourselves.”'
