CLAPPING SEAL FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE: NEW IPCC REPORT ON GLOBAL WARMING IS ”RATIONAL”…….

 

The IPCC report is purely a political document, not scientific.

What do we call the people who get nearly every prediction wrong? What else  –  “the world’s top scientists”  (Jake Sturmer, ABC) The only rule when reporting IPCC predictions is to never ask a hard question.

It’s all about power in Paris in 2015. How much of the world’s GDP will they grab?   — As much as we let them.

What neither appears to have realised is that the report contains no new “science” whatsoever. That is because it is a political document not a scientific one. It merely synthesises the three (heavily criticised) reports released over the last 13 months by the IPCC’s three Working Groups, cherrypicks the scariest bits, turns the hysteria up to 11, then asserts on this basis that drastic measures must be taken if disaster is to be averted

An empty suit delivers a speech to an empty room, and the fake Finnish media are nowhere to be found to actually report on these issues in an honest, concrete way. Consensus driven Finnish society acts as a knee-jerk buffer to vigorous debate on key issues such as this. In the U.S., the meteorological community are overwhelmingly against the GW/CC meme, this Finnish institute is a government appendage, so it parrots the consensus driven party line.

FMI chief: Climate change could mean more winter precipitation, summer heatwaves for Finns

Climate change could mean more stuff coming down from the sky during the Finnish winter, according to director general of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Petteri Taalas. The chief weatherman described as “rational” Sunday’s recommendations by the global climate panel the IPCC to give up the use of fossil fuels by the end of this century.

While he applauded the IPCC’s recommendations, FMI director general Petteri Taalas said that the reaching that goal does not appear to be likely, given humankind’s habits so far.

“It would be rational to work towards that goal. If we continue at our present rate, we will have to live with bad weather for several hundred years,” Taalas said Monday in an interview on Yle’s Aamu-tv breakfast programme.

The FMI chief has chaired Finland’s national IPCC working group since 2007.  While he said the goals are laudable, he does not see the IPCC’s stated goal of eliminating fossil fuel dependence by the end of the century as realistic.

“So far we have moved in the completely opposite direction. We have been using up all of our fossil reserves, including shale oil and gas,” Taalas observed.

According to Taalas, the IPCC has had to amplify the scale of worst-case scenarios in each of its reports. Experts are now speculating that in the worst case the climate could warm up by as much as four degrees Celsius by the year 2100 — far beyond the IPCC’s estimate of a maximum ‘safe’ limit of two degrees. The chief meteorologist said the degree of warming could increase if shale oil is taken into use.

“The change for us here in Finland could be even greater, because we’re in the Arctic’s sphere of influence,” he noted.

He pointed out that in Finland climate change could bring more precipitation especially during winter. Finns should also brace for more heatwaves, he added.

EU goals “exceptional”

But according to Taalas, there are positive sides to the IPCC report. He noted that there are more and cheaper measures available to prevent climate change.

“But the later we act, the more expensive it will be. If we do nothing, then the financial losses we’ll face will be more than the cost of action,” he warned.

Some weeks ago the European Union states agreed to reduce greenhouse gases by 40 percent of 1990 levels by the year 2030.

The IPCC report recommends an even more ambitious goal of reducing emissions by 40 to 70 percent of current levels by the year 2050. Taalas said that the EU objective should serve as an example to others.

“The EU goal is an outstanding objective. If the rest of the world followed the EU, we’d be on the right track,” he noted.

The FMI director said the next milestone would be to get as many countries as possible to commit to similar emissions targets at next year’s UN climate change conference in Paris.

Listen to this hack drone on in a UN event earlier this year, using every single boilerplate piece of rhetoric he can muster. Would you want this jerk (and jerks like him) deciding on how much energy can you use, and on how much it will cost you? Not me. This man left his scientific credentials at the door of his political hack career.
