The UN has launched a climate propaganda campaign, consisting of two weeks of “weather forecasts from the future”, intended to give people a taste of what our children will endure, if we don’t do what we’re told.
According to The Guardian, a major green newspaper in Britain, highlights from the fantasy forecasts include “Miami South Beach is under water,”, and a Zambian forecaster reporting that “The mega-drought in Arizona has claimed another casualty.”
A video produced with these “forecasts” looks like a hollywood disaster movie, minus a decent special effects budget:
A full schedule of the fantasy weather forecasts is available here – http://www.wmo.int/media/climatechangeimpact.html
All I can say is – what a colossal waste of money and effort. Since it is the UN which has organised this international climate propaganda stunt, and the UN is pretty much above the law when it comes to freedom of information and other official transparency measures, we will probably never know how much money they spent, and how many jet airline flying hours were logged, while arranging this ridiculous waste of taxpayer’s money.

From my perspective, this a new low, and shows desperation. Plus, it is so badly done, it is painful to watch.
The YouTube Channel for the upcoming videos is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/wmovideomaster
The videos will be promoted on Twitter with the #weather2050 and #climate2014 hashtags. Be sure to look for them so you can respond with factual rebuttals.
More ammo for future snickering historians of science.
The REAL headline from the future: “Miami’s South Beach under water : Self absorbed residents don’t even notice.”
All kidding and slams at South Beachers aside, the models call for FEWER tropical cyclones in a warmer world. Just read the IPCC AR5 carefully. So shouldn’t one of the future headlines be “Fifth year in a row with no Atlantic hurricanes” or maybe “Remembering typhoons, a thing of the past” ? You may call me a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
It will take a few millennia before plexiglass cages become necessary personal protection equipment in Washington or Geneva, let alone in Narobi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIql1ZpHovs
I’m confused. When local temps didn’t rise and hurricanes didn’t hit Iowa, wasn’t the mantra “Weather isn’t Climate!”? Are they now saying that “weather is climate” or “climate is weather” or …. maybe they’ve just confused themselves?
I hope the IPCC/UN/WMO bring out more crap like this every week. The more frequently they do it, the more people actually question not only the shonky ‘science’, but also the UN’s agenda.
Seeing as everyone gets pissed off at having plans washed out due to bad weather forecasts made just a few days in advance now, everyone should and will (thermogeddinites being the exception) question the exceptionally futile idea of making claims about weather 36 years in the future.
if the UK continues with CAGW policies, this could be the future!
2 Sept: UK Daily Mail: Peter Campbell: Blackout alert: Offices and factories to undergo 1970s-style electricity rationing this winter to stop households being plunged into darkness
Businesses will be offered compensation to shut down for four hours a day
National Grid had planned to introduce this measure in winter of 2015
Fires and other setbacks put some of UK’s biggest generators out of service
Two nuclear power plants are offline and unlikely to be running in time for start of colder weather
National Grid has a budget of £800million to control supply and demand within the power network
The second measure, which has never before been used in Britain, would see the resurrection of power stations that have been closed but not yet dismantled. National Grid yesterday contacted the owners of recently closed plants to see if they could be running in time for winter.
The majority of these are gas stations, though it is believed some coal or oil plants could also be asked to take part…
