The
new climate denier position is to admit that climate change is
happening but we can trade our way out of it, this is patently
garbage. Shell itself admits in private discussions with the IEA that
4C is baked in in the short term and 6C long term. This is
unsurvivable for most species on this planet including humans.
Prepare for a future of admitting the problem but covering up the
severity from all of our msm news sources.

Six
energy giants want a worldwide price on carbon emissions—but what’s
in it for them?
After
years of opposing efforts to fight climate change, Europe’s biggest
oil and gas corporations have made a stunning about-face.
In
a letter addressed to the chief of the United Nations climate agency,
Christiana Figueres, the chief executives of Shell, BP, and four
other energy giants asked the world’s political leaders to put a
price on carbon.
“We
need governments across the world to provide us with clear, stable,
long-term, ambitious policy frameworks,” the letter reads. “We
believe that a price on carbon should be a key element of these
frameworks.”
India's
earth sciences minister has blamed climate change for a heatwave that
has killed 2,500 people and for deficient monsoon rains, after the
government said on Tuesday the country was headed for its first
drought in six years.
"Let
us not fool ourselves that there is no connection between the unusual
number of deaths from the ongoing heat wave and the certainty of
another failed monsoon," Harsh Vardhan said. "It's not just
an unusually hot summer, it is climate change," he said.
The
glaciers of the Everest region of the Himalayan massif – home to
the highest peak of all – could lose between 70% and 99% of their
volume as a result of global warming.
Asia’s
mountain ranges contain the greatest thickness of ice beyond the
polar regions. But new research predicts that, by 2100, the world’s
highest waters – on which billions of people depend for their water
supply – could be at their lowest ebb because of the ice loss.
Many
of the continent’s great rivers begin up in the snows, fed by
melting ice in high-peak regions such as the Hindu Kush, the Pamir
and the Himalayas.
The
spectre of a fourth dry summer is looming in outback towns such as
Longreach. Drastic times mean drastic action for the region’s
hard-hit farmers
Spring
weather in downtown LA and other areas of Southern California
flip-flopped this year as temperatures cooled from March to May
Farmers
in Africa and East Asia are expected to suffer crop losses as extreme
weather linked to the El Nino phenomenon alters rainfall patterns,
scientists told a conference on climate change in Bonn on Wednesday.
The
rainy season has been delayed in several African nations, and it is
difficult to predict exactly how large the crop losses will be, said
Sonja Vermeulen, a University of Copenhagen scientist.
The
waters of the Gulf of Alaska are some of the most pristine in the
world. That will change next month.
Unless
a solution is found soon, two of the world’s favorite, most popular
beans, could become in short supply, due to climate change.
A
recent census of Amur (Siberian) tigers inhabiting Russia’s Far
East, home to 95 per cent of the global population of Amur tigers,
reveals that the big cats have increased in numbers, largely due to a
conservation program launched with the support of the Russian
government and through the personal efforts of President Vladimir
Putin.
Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner, who helped to wipe out smallpox, predicts humans will probably be extinct within 100 years, because of overpopulation, environmental destruction and climate change.
Fenner,
who is emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National
University (ANU) in Canberra, said homo sapiens will not be able to
survive the population explosion and “unbridled consumption,” and
will become extinct, perhaps within a century, along with many other
species. United Nations official figures from last year estimate the
human population is 6.8 billion, and is predicted to pass seven
billion next year.
