#3I remember Al Gore saying we got 10 years in 2006.
In fact this type of rhetoric has been going on for centuries. [1]

That's the downside of boys crying wolf... when the actual wolf comes we don't listen.

They are an apocalyptic death cult. The end is nigh submit to the elite or forever perish. How is submitting to the 1% going to save earth? They used to say by the end of the century. Year after year their predictions fail and the cult marches on.

#7No we don't. Hyperbole around climate change just makes people more likely to disregard the actual dangers.

1. Al Gore didn't say this, James Anderson did. James Anderson is a "Harvard University professor of atmospheric chemistry best known for establishing that chlorofluorocarbons were damaging the Ozone Layer."
2. You're right about the rhetoric - it has been around for centuries but so have major ecological disasters. The Dust Bowl alone forced tens of thousands of poverty-stricken families to abandon their farms, unable to pay mortgages or grow crops, and losses reached $25 million per day by 1936 (equivalent to $450,000,000 in 2018).[0] I can hardly fathom the true cost of something that impacts the entire planet.

Polar ice caps melting is hyperbole? Care to elaborate?
Re: We Have Four Years to Save Ourselves from Climate Change, Harvard Scientist Says
#10Does "no more permanent ice" means there is a period of the year where there is no ice at all at the poles? That seems hardly believable.
I was also under the impression that melting ice would push the level of the oceans by multiple meters. If 75-80% of ice has already melted, wouldn't we have seen significant elevation already?
Just some facts that I found surprising, coming from someone who doesn't know much on the topic. I'm well on board with global warming, but the facts presented here don't mesh with what I understood about it.
