Flashback: Meet Peter Kalmus, the ‘dumpster diving’ NASA climate scientist who warns it’s ‘end of life on Earth as we know it’ & it’s ‘freaking out in my brain’– ProPublica profile of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab climate scientist Peter Kalmus: – “A climate scientist spent years trying to get people to pay attention to the disaster ahead. His wife is exhausted. His older son thinks there’s no future. And nobody but him will use the outdoor toilet he built to shrink his carbon footprint.” …
Peter had been pleading, begging for people to pay attention to the global emergency. “Is this my personal hell?” he tweeted this past fall. “That I have to spend my entire life desperately trying to convince everyone NOT TO DESTROY THE FUCKING EARTH?”
Jane Pauley: “Searing heat, massive wildfires, catastrophic flooding. Unequivocal evidence the United Nations says that climate change is real and that human activity is its primary cause. So how bad can it get?” Pauley asked. “According to some scientists, the possibility of worldwide societal collapse or even eventual human extinction isn’t out of the question. It’s a harsh warning to say the least.”
Jane Pauley features NASA scientist Peter Kalmus who declares “I do want people freaking out.” on climate.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab climate scientist Peter Kalmus: “Here’s why race justice and climate justice are one & the same: The oppressive extractive plutocracies that colonize and kill black bodies and colonize and kill our planet are one and the same.”
Business Insider:Two climate scientists were kicked out of a major science conference in Chicago on Thursday. NASA’s Peter Kalmus and Rose Abramoff went onstage to urge other researchers to take climate action. They told Insider the American Geophysical Union told them they’d be arrested if they returned. …
NASA’s Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, shouted during his onstage disruption: “Our science is showing that the planet is dying. It’s terrifying. Everything is at risk. As scientists, we have tremendous leverage, but we need to use it. We can wake everybody up.”
. Kalmus blames “capitalism” for the alleged climate crisis. “Can’t you all see? The real villain was capitalism all along.” Watch: Peter Kalmus weeps over climate in April 2022: “We have been trying to warn you guys for so many decades that we are heading towards a F*cking catastrophe.” – “We are going to lose everything. And we are not joking. We are not lying. We are not exaggerating.” – We have to stop financing of fossil fuels. We have to stop new fossil fuel projects. we don’t have any carbon budget left.” – “It is going to literally take us to the brink of civilizational collapse. and we have to stop it right now.”Flashback: Meet Peter Kalmus, the ‘dumpster diving’ NASA climate scientist who warns it’s ‘end of life on Earth as we know it’ & it’s ‘freaking out in my brain’Flashback: Kalmus declared ‘I do want people freaking out’
NASA’s Kalmus: “Global warming is happening with a rapidity that leaves me speechless”
2022: UK Independent: Nasa climate scientist Peter Kalmus breaks down in tears at protest after chaining himself to doors of JPMorgan Chase – Peter Kalmus and others were later arrested after blocking the entrace to a JP Morgan-Chase building in LA – His protest in LA involved scientists chaining themselves to the doors of a JPMorgan Chase building…“We’re going to lose everything,” Kalmus said in a video of the moment. “And we’re not joking, we’re not lying, we’re not exaggerating.” Dr Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, was participating in a protest organized by Scientist Rebellion as part of a global day of action by scientists around the world. His protest in LA involved scientists chaining themselves to the doors of a JPMorgan Chase building.

Make CO2, not war.
done!
Lead by example, Peter and the mob. Stop using fossil fuels. No plastic, no synthetic fabric, no food or groceries that aren’t sourced locally, no Amazon, no electronics, no phone or internet use. Enjoy the Dark Ages and let us know how it goes.
Do you think it’s rehearsed? A respectable scientist would certainly never chain himself to a building.
His eye glasses are plastic! Well, the frame is plastic. Not sure about the lens. If he makes to old age and gets cataracts- the replacement lens are some sort of plastic so he won’t be allowed to have those.
Is he a descendant of the great geneticist Hans Kalmus?
https://www.harpenden-history.org.uk/harpenden-history/people-2/scientists/hans_kalmus
Another total nutter.
Nuttier than a fruitcake. Or is it fruitier than a nutcake? I can never remember.
Extinction Rebellion should be exiled to a nice subsistence farm, in North Dakota. With no fossil fuels.
COP29 Fargo!!!!
Not gonna happen. There are no hookers nor shrimp cocktails to be had in Fargo, doncha know.
I wonder how Peter Kalmus traveled to NYC? I hope it was via bicycle.
Kalmus is from Califoolnia
How the heck did he get to NYC without using fossil fuels. !
Did anyone ask? or is exposure of massive hypocrisy not part of journalism.
Bicycles need fossil fuel in their production.
Kalmus should use Shanks Pony – barefoot and naked, unless he has made his own cotton/wool clothing, and only self-grown food
No evidence of an emergency. Executive decisions (emergencies, which do not appear in the constitution) are limited. And changing society based on a desired policy will not receive broad support.
So who needs support? The gummint will force the desired policy on the people. Have you forgotten CV19 already?
Hey, Peter Kalmus! Stop using fossil fuels yourself first, set an example for us peasants. What a climate hypocrite you are Peter!
And just when you think the alarmists can’t get more shrill and unhinged.
For a man who proclaims himself speechless, he has a lot of angst directed at non-believers of doom. 😉
Something for the NY demonstrators to read and comprehend, before they rid the world of crude oil.
Imagine no jets, ships, defense, or space program!
Eradicating the world of crude oil usage would ground the 50,000 jets in the world and leave the 50,000 merchant ships tied up at docks and discontinue the military and space programs!
Summary: Without a backup plan to replace crude oil, the 8 billion on this planet will face the greatest threat to humanity without jets, merchant ships, and space programs.

“””“We have been trying to warn you guys for so many decades [..]We are not exaggerating.””””
Science says otherwise!
There is no doubt that nowadays global climate models are better than 10 year old climate models which were better than models 10 years before that.
Alarmists and skeptics aside, there is scientific progress!
This means and we have the simulation results to prove it, that decades old statements were made with a false certainty!
It is a scientific fact that Kalmus and other did exactly that:
exaggerating scientific certainty and they are still doing it!
The consequences are disastrous as left wing politics and activists destroy billions of dollars with wrong, unjustified measures, which cost life, wealth and harms the environment.
Again, this is not an opinion, but a well proven result from the fact that modern models are better than older models!
Pat Frank illustrated this nicely:

Right what Kalmus was selling decades ago, right the ugly, inconvenient truth about his claims.
Huh?
The uncertainty in the extrapolations becomes larger and larger with each iteration step.
“‘freaking out in my brain”
One big EMPTY echo chamber.
Poor fella. ! 🙂

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023
Deaths in climate-related disasters declined 99% from a century agoBy Bjorn Lomborg
Published April 30, 2022, 10:49 a.m. ET
How many of our trolls have proclaimed that the climate fraud had nothing to do with attacking capitalism?
To think that only a couple of dozen months ago, fascism was supposed to be a bad thing. Now Progressives literally demand it.
Why aren’t those people at work?
Work!?! That’s an insulting concept.
Of all the avowed socialists I knew when I was in school, absolutely none of them saw their future as one of the sainted “workers”.
They are at work. This is their job.
For a person who is speachless Kalmus certainly talks a heck of a lot, virtually all of it complete nonsense. So sad for an alleged person of science to fall so deep into the pit of pseudo-science.
“Bottomless grief”, “Freaking out my brain”.
Those are the new scientific terms, then?
Do future US astronauts know this “scientist” has a job in NASA’s Jet Propulsion laboratory? Something to wonder about during countdown?
What does he use for propulsion, muesli, some chia seed and an old copy of Das Kapital?
Are you Yanks happy that this nitwit is paid with your tax dollars?
I thought jolly Jim Hansen in NASA GISS was bad enough, until he quit to be a full time “Activist”. Did anyone ask Jim what he thinks of this guy?
Was Hansen his mentor?
JPL is managed by the California Institute of Technology under a major contract from NASA. People working at JPL are Cal. Tech. employees. They are government subcontractors and do not work directly for NASA. Why has Cal. Tech. failed to act on the climate fraud at JPL and deal with nuts like Kalmus? Does Steve Koonin have anything to say about this? He was Provost at Cal. Tech.
Here is a link to the contract.
https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_80NM0018F0645_8000_80NM0018D0004_8000
He’s a “NASA scientist” the way Mikey Mann is a “Nobel Prize winner”.
The employer for most of the professors, administrators, etc. at CalTech, is the state of California.
Nuff, said.
scientist
noun
I suggest that Kalmus is not studying properly (please look at the data dude. (hint models are not data) nor does he have expert knowledge in his field because the actual data does not support what he says. He is a sentimentalist. Not a scientist. He is the opposite of a scientist.
Who does the hiring at NASA, and how far do they expect to get with people like this?
When I was an engineering student, we used to laugh at the term “expert.” The usual definition of expert back then was–a former drip under pressure: ex-spurt.
It’ll probably only get worse- after all, they have to be sure to have lots of “people of color”, people represnting all the dozens of genders, all religions, half will need to be obese because half of Americans are obese, etc., etc. Hiring can’t be based on merit- because that’s a principle of that evil capitalism!
On a serious note, this is a mental illness and these people need help. Not a gotcha, not a shaming comment; this is a serious mental and emotional disorder.
One wonders how long they can keep up this inane nonsense?
Ten years from now nothing will be any different than now.
Will they just keep spouting the same nonsense and gluing themselves to roads, even as nothing happens?
Hard to say.
Not much has changed in the past ten years, but they have merely ramped up the lies and alarmist rhetoric to compensate.
Does this jackass ever look out a window?
Dr Newhart has a simple cure.
Unfortunately the people that are actually running are government(s) are just as deranged and mentally I’ll as well as the cabal of wealthy players behind the scenes.
Another thing that is beyond belief is these “ migrant” invasions being aloud to continue here in the US and Europe. Someone is financing that – they are not “ climate change migrants “ . Our governments are not even doing the most basic things that a government should do any more. Our leaders are literally caring out a plan now to destroy our nation states. Just a matter of time before all this reaches everybody’s doorstep. Then it is too late.
They are coming in literally by the boat load in Italy every way imaginable at US southern border including by non stop train load now – all teens & 20 somethings ( not kids and family’s) .
These climate protesters want us to go backwards in time, well we are- into a third world country, literally! Including the third world itself. And don’t think because we are getting old that we won’t live to see it- the collapse of your country that is it is happening rapidly now- things fall apart quicker than people think. Reminds me of Rome approaching the end.
I didn’t realise that NASA had a sheltered workshop for the mentally deficient.
‘The planet is dying!’
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
The planet is doing fine.
It won’t die until the sun becomes a red giant and eats the Earth.
At least you correctly stated that the Sun will become a red giant and not go Supernova.
Low IQ emotional jackass.
He may not be lying, but he is 100% wrong, that is for sure.
How does an actual moron get the job he has?
The fire he is so upset about was caused more by his policy prescriptions than any other single factor.
The power company on Maui has not cleared vegetation back from their lines.
Then because of “water equity”, there was no water to fight the fires once they started.
Peter is suffering from severe clinical psychotic paranoia. How the hell does he remain employed as a scientist?
You think that is bad, just look at the mental condition of what we have for the President of the United States…..
Weather Derangement Syndrome. Kalmus has two kids; I worry about their safety around their dad.
To end fossil fuels just stop using them. That should work.
Kalmus is totally deranged. I look forward to reading Nick Stokes’s post supporting him.
Nah, not even Nick is STUPID enough to support this sort of mentally deranged nit-wit !
That depends entirely on what his paymasters want him to do.
You may be right. So far, Mr. Stokes has failed to comment.
Either that, or he would be TOO COWARDLY to do so.!
Thanks for the listing of Kalmus’s activities and state of mind.
I hadn’t realised what a complete mental wreck he is.
Thanks to his insane ranting and others like him, in the Climate Alarmist movement, our children are frightened, some are medically anxious and showing signs of instability.
The alarmists are destroying civilisation. To what end? We don’t know.
Kalmus makes it very clear he considers capitalism to be the purveyor of all troubles facing the Earth?
That makes it very clear what the Alarmists are really all about, and it is not about climate.
Why doesn’t Kalmus come clean and simply admit he’s a Communist?
You expect honesty from a communist?
“communism”, “ socialism”…are the made up names of political social welfare philosophies. “Capitalism” is a description of how people actually agree on the relative benefit of goods and services that they trade with each other to obtain benefits for themselves.
Quite different concepts, actually…and not necessarily mutually exclusive…
If he’s ‘bottomless’, where’s all the cr*p coming from?
Sir! Sir! please sir, I know the answer to this one….his mouth.
His mouth, obviously !! 🙂
Even Nick, Alan, Simion, FN and the other klimate kooks can’t justify or support this nonsense.
It’ll be fun for the rest of us if they try!
Nitpick must have reached his monthly quota already.
Delusional hypocrite.
Delusional hypocrite wearing plastic glasses made from fossil fuel. I’ll bet he uses plastic credit cards too.
From the article: “AT LEAST 75K people in the streets of NYC for the March to #EndFossilFuels!! Calling on @potus to stop the expansion and production of fossil fuels and declare a #ClimateEmergency”
Well, those 75 thousand people should make a pledge that they will not use fossil fuels anymore. They should practice what they preach.
That leaves more fossil fuels for the rest of us.
All climate change alarmists should immediately stop using fossil fuels. Make a stand!
Demonstrating takes little effort to attend or organize. Recently in Manitoba, a criminal confessed to putting 2 bodies in a dumpster. Hundreds, maybe a couple of thousand showed up to protest the city’s refusal to search the landfill for remains (it’s months after the fact and the word of a criminal isn’t known for reliability)….so far the list of those who would volunteer to go and search the dump for an expected 3 month period is very short….it’s just so easy to use social media to start an “event” that prior to the internet, nobody would have been able to afford the postage stamps for invitations….
A story: Sixteen climate protestors from Extinction Rebellion and Climate Organizing Hub were arrested for illegal activities in and outside the Museum of Modern Art in New York last Friday. They were protesting the fact that Marie-Josée Kravis, wife of Henry Kravis, is board chair of MoMA. Kravis is a figure in private equity firm KKR, an investor in fossil fuel pipeline projects.
“end fossil fuels”
Let’s prove it can be done. Set up a city, even a fairly small one, running 100% on “renewables”, no electricity importing, just your own “renewable” generation and backups. I’m not even asking for them to give up all the other benefits of oil – just power generation.
Until I see that, this is all just fantasy.
All of these demonstrators are absolute hypocrites. The signs they are holding were made in print shops using fossil fuels. The road to the demonstration site on transportation that uses actual fuel. The clothing and shoes they are wearing were made, and delivered by vehicles using fossil fuel. If these people wanted to be true to their ideals, they would be nude and on foot all the time.
The left wants martial law, so that they can force those unbelievers to comply.
The left is so convinced of their infallibility that they believe that everyone will love the world they are going to create. All they have to do is to get rid of everyone who doesn’t fit into their new world.
While mocking Peter Kalmus might be appropriate — although I have some objection to picking on the emotionally handicapped — this post might have been improved by a great deal of editing.
Readers ==> The NY City no longer gives crowd estimates (they were burned during the anti-Viet war period, accused of inflating or deflating numbers for political reasons). Now we get the mass media publishing the crowd size estimates from the activists….meaning hugely inflated numbers.
Does anyone have a handle on the actual crowd szie? The only reliable figure I can find is the number arrested on Wall Street.
It appears that Leftism is a sign of mental disease because they constantly promote delusions of something that doesn’t exist.
The reality is easy to understand because the data overwhelmingly shows there is NO climate crisis at all.

Isn’t Gavin trying to find out what Fed employees are using Fed time to answer data requests from non-Fed scientist?
Will Peter Kalmus’s name show up?
Sounds like he needs to up his meds.
