Here Comes Another Climate Deadline That Will Pass Without Notice

We've heard so many declarations that our "Last chance" to avoid global warming has arrived that we've lost count of the number of times the world has ended.

According to Jim Skea, a European academic who co-chairs the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group III, "It's now or never, if we want to limit global warming" to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Skea's comment arrived wrapped up in Working Group III's just-released report on global warming mitigation, part of the IPCC's sixth climate assessment.

About 150 months after his previous doomsday prediction, the prince said that the upcoming climate summit in Glasgow was "Quite literally the last chance saloon" to stop the scourge of warming.

More than a half-century of global warming warnings have come and gone with the sky exactly where it was on the first Earth Day in 1970.

That's exactly what it will do, because the global warming scare isn't about the environment, or saving man from himself.

The truth about global warming, man-made climate change, or whatever it is to be called by the smart people these days, is that while man's CO2 emissions likely have some effect on the climate - it is, after all, a greenhouse gas, though weak and only a minute part of the atmosphere, a little more than 400 parts per million - its impact is not enough to be a threat of much if any consequence.
