we were wrong about global warming
12/10/2007
hard to believe … but the scientific community is admitting that it was wrong about the models it used to predict global warming. the consensus was based on models predicting the effects of global warming over a long period of time.
the details have been released about the studies and data that scientists, who all formed a consensus stating that global warming was seriously bad. the results show that their model was inaccurate. global warming is in fact worse, much much worse, than scientists predicted.
the graph above shows the model used by IPCC modelled changes based on co2 emissions. IPCC predicted that arctic ice melt would reach 30% by around 2060. wheras, in reality, it’s already passed 30% rising quickly.
conservative have been saying that scientific evaluations of global warming were wrong. the conservatives said that models are based on theories and that they’re not verifiable. well, the conservatives were right … however, they were right for all the wrong reasons. recent satellite data looking at ice melt has shown that the arctic ice cap is melting much, much, MUCH faster than predicted.
so, at first we thought that there would be two outcomes of the global warming debate: that scientists would be right (and global warming was serious) or scientists would be wrong (and global warming is a myth). well, now there’s a third option … scientists were wrong, and global warming is going to have serious consequences on our planet a lot sooner than we predicted.
unless we start taking action … and governments start to admit the seriousness of this problem … we’re fucked. seriously fucked.
