"Big Billy Bad Boy"??! Jeez. I think one of the most irritating features of the social media political group explosion is their shared tendency to make up shocking little names for their enemy political figures, most of which would make an adolescent 6th former cringe...

I learned how to quote people accurately well before I reached adolescence, but never mind.

...Again, you are taking one part of what is happenning here and trying to establish a very different meaning. He did not at any point use the words that your meme is quoting or suggesting, with the aim to convince your people on a footy message board (absurd isn;t it?) that he has completely changed his stance. He said ?Climate change will have serious consequences?particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable?yet it will not lead to the complete destruction of human civilization."...

Good for him. Weird that quite a few of his fellow (unelected) "leaders" have criticised him for his comments though, eh?

I think most people who look at what science is telling us would agree to this. Even with the recent spike in temperature, the effects of climate change will be slow - despite frogs best efforts, pretty much every scientist* agrees that we are seeing negative impact on the world around us at the moment, which as the global climate slides towards 61.5 (1.5% above pre industrial levels) expected mid 2030s this will be more noticable with increased reductions in habitats, melting ice, raised sea levels and some hotter places currently inhabited will become less to not habitable and then on a slow sliding scale, this will progressively worsen until more substantial (and many say irreversible due to greenhouse accumulation) once we get past 62 degrees globally...

Did you mean to say, "...pretty much every scientist whose career, salary and future job prospects depend on propagating this myth agrees..."?

Of ocurse that in itself is not an overall global threat to humanity, but it will without the shadow of any doubt change the world we live in as we have no record of living in a global temperature that is 2% hotter than the one we have always existed in. Hence "Big Billy Bad Boy" (sighs)'s words that this climate change will have serious consequences. It it likely to force a mass movement of people from the hottest areas into cooler ones. And not sure some people on here can cope with incoming people already!

I've seen all the previous climate doom and gloom predictions dating back to the 1970's.

For the sake of your stance, it's a real shame that none of them came true. For that reason I'm inclined to think the latest batch can be safely thrown into the 'loada ballox' filing cabinet, but if you want to push that message, knock yer sen out lad. You won't convince me.
