The Henny Penny 'science' of climate change

 Zero Hedge:

Scientists admit they did not model clouds accurately and that they need a supercomputer 1000 times more powerful to accurately do that...

...

Despite the models being wrong, they appear to be better than I expected. 

Yet, had we listened to the dire forecasts from Al Gore, globetrotting Gretta, President Biden, and media darling AOC, where would we be?

Al Gore wanted to spend $90 trillion to fight climate change.    

AOC "New Green Deal" Stunningly Absurd: Far More Ridiculous Than Expected

Recall my February 7, 2019 post AOC "New Green Deal" Stunningly Absurd: Far More Ridiculous Than Expected

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) released her bill for a "Green New Deal". It's stunningly absurd.

AOC's Green New Deal Pricetag of $51 to $93 Trillion

On February 25, 2019 I noted I compared AOC's Green New Deal Pricetag of $51 to $93 Trillion vs. Cost of Doing Nothing

William Nordhaus, a co-recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in economics, compared AOC's Green New Deal with the cost of doing nothing and various alternatives.

 Nordhaus’s model—at least as of its 2007 calibration—estimated that such a policy goal would make humanity $14 trillion poorer compared to doing nothing at all about climate change. 

2007 is admittedly way out of date, yet the models then were on the dire side.

AOC Says World Will End in 12 Years

On January 22, 2019 I noted Ocasio-Cortez Says World Will End in 12 Years: Here's What to Do About It

...

AOC now says her comment was out of context, but play the video and you will see that her comments clearly weren't.

Perhaps it was hyperbole, but extreme fearmongering of this kind will do nothing but raise eyebrows. 

Clean Energy Now Demands

We have had an endless parade of fearmongers including Al Gore, Gretta,, AOC, Senator Elizabeth Warren, President Biden, the UN, and countless others demanding "clean energy now".

None of them have factored in the amount of copper, lithium, rare earth materials, etc., needed for their demands.

Their demands also depend on unreliable wind and battery storage techniques that do not even exist yet.

Solar energy is surprising cheap provided there is enough cheap land, there are no clouds, there is no nighttime, and the energy needs are in the desert, not New York City.

Alternatively, solar needs storage technology that does not yet exist, but even if it did, we still have issues regarding need for more lithium, rare earth metals, etc., for the storage.

...

There is much more.

The fear-mongers have been serially wrong in their predictions for over 50 years.  The poles are still nowhere near ice-free and coastal cities are still not underwater.  But the fear mongers have talked governments in wasting a lot of money in responding to their fears, and they are cost 
American consumers thousand of dollars because the fear mongers are driving up the cost of fossil fuels. See, also:

Exclusive: Sceptical environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg on 50 years of misguided climate panic

...

Almost every climate summit has been branded as the last chance. Setting artificial deadlines to get attention is one of the most common environmental tactics. We have continually been told for the past half-century that time has just about run out. This message is spectacularly wrong and leads to panic and poor policies.
