Hyberbole from the New York Post

A harrowing new climate change report warns we may be on the way to extinction, claiming there is a “high likelihood” human civilization will come to an end by 2050 unless action is taken on greenhouse gas emissions.
The dire paper, which predicts a biblical-like scenario of devastating floods, drought, famine and a breakdown in international order, has been endorsed by the former chief of Australia’s military.
The analysis, published May 30 by Australian think tank the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, calls for a new approach to climate change and paints a bleak picture of the world in 30 years if nothing is done to combat greenhouse emissions.
Assuming we stay on our current trajectory, emissions will lock in a 3 degree Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit) global warming, setting off a disastrous chain off events which the report’s authors claim will lead to “a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end.”
According to the report’s central “2050 scenario,” one billion people will be forced to relocate from unlivable conditions while food production will become inadequate to feed the global population.
North America will suffer from devastating weather extremes including wildfires, heatwaves and drought — while other places in the world such as the Middle East and West Africa will become unlivable.
Meanwhile, 55% of the global population would be subjected to more than 20 days a year of lethal heat conditions, “beyond the threshold of human survivability.”
And even more hyperbole from Vice if you can hold your nose to go there.

Oh, yes. We are decidedly doomed.
150 posts and not a single one attempting to refute the science, I guess because of ideology. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/148cb0_b2c0c79dc4344b279bcf2365336ff23b.pdf, just gnashing and fist shaking.
I bet none of the 150 even read it.
Actually many stated they read at least part of it, came away thinking they wasted their time reading such junk. They are not going to waste time trying to debunk such drivel, as it would beneath them giving it undeserved attention.
Do you root through the garbage can for the bits of food in it?
How can you refute stuff that is a SCENARIO based construct to year 2050?
You must love Pseudoscience so much to fall for it.
Loydo’s opinions are ideologically-based.
It wasn´t science paper. It was political paper, based on models. Can you understand the difference? Perhaps your ideology is in denial to understand? Or your stupidity is blocking your ability to understand.
You are science denier, so your opinion is not relevant to reality.

I suspect there is a 97.5% consensus among climate scientists… LOL
Whenever these ‘experts’ make these statements TV companies Worldwide should issue a warning, perhaps with a logo of flying pigs!!
Broadcasting companies should issue a warning when these ‘experts give their opinions on the climate, I think a Flying Pig logo would be appropriate !!
This idea is nonsense. At no time in paleographic timelines reconstructed from exposed paleosoil content, does “warmer” equate with flora and fauna devastation on a global basis. Warmth increases life, cold decreases life. Case closed.
Idiots.
By 2050? So you’re saying to go with global socialist government to get the job done quicker?
I know it’s not science but the Bible tells me we will be around for another thousand years at least. Accordingly any reports about us exiting the planet by 2050 should be treated as baloney.
It could have ended 75 years ago but fortunately people stood up to conmen and murders .
The scary global warming fraud pales in comparison to real heroes who gave everything to
defeat evil .
I wonder what those heroes would think of the pussies trying to con the world now .
