The world will end in 2016
Or 2025.
Or 2040.
“The IPCC is famous for the same two things as
most madmen standing on street corners and shouting incomprehensibly at the top
of their hoarse voices: predicting and postponing the end of the world.
"’If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future,’ IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri had claimed in 2007.
“In 2008, he appeared to have claimed that there was only 8 years left.
“At a 2009 Senate hearing, two years later, Pachauri insisted, “we have just about 6 years left in which we will have to bring about peaking of emission.”
“That would be in 2015.
“Pachauri was replying to a question from Senator Jeff Merkley. A decade later, the world didn’t end. And Merkley is still warning that if we don’t listen to the IPCC, the world and all its coffee shops will end.
“Last year, Merkley pushed a Senate resolution in support of the IPCC’s latest world ending memo warning that the world will end ‘as soon as 2040’. That’s safer than the world ending by 2015.”
