Heh! Now we start to watch all of the CLIMATE APOCALYPSE!!!! predictions starting to come due – and #FAIL. This one is rather inconvenient – it will, pretty much, shorten the Christmas buying season, much to the dismay of retailers everywhere:
Only three days left to save The Earth
Prof Penny Sackett, Herald Sun December 04, 2009
We’ve got 5 years to save world says Australia’s chief scientist Professor Penny Sackett. THE planet has just five years to avoid disastrous global warming, says the Federal Government’s chief scientist. Prof Penny Sackett yesterday urged all Australians to reduce their carbon footprint. The professor said even if all the world stopped producing carbon dioxide immediately, temperature increases of 1.3C were unavoidable.
Well, we didn’t and temps didn’t get an Al Gore fever, either. In fact, she seems to be a bit off on that:
Asked to explain data that showed the earth had been cooling in recent years, the trained astrophysicist acknowledged air temperatures had leveled during the La Nina weather pattern, now nearing an end.”
Disastrous Global Warming will be locked in by Thursday I would say. Start packing the bunker.
Penny Sackett was the director of the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (a part of ANU) for five years. From 2008 – 2011 she was appointed Chief Scientist of Australia. She was there in June 2009 with Will Steffen and Minister Penny Wong, when Steve Fielding brought skeptics Evans, Carter, Franks and Kininmonth to Parliament.
‘Course, if you pay by credit, you may never get the bills! Once again, I heard we were all gonna die due to Climate Cooling (yes, back in the 1970s), then it morphed to Global Warming. You hear too many of these “serious” dire predictions and all you end of hearing is “Wolf!” even as they mandate how you should live the little of your life they say you have.
