From the “say your prayers, we’re gonna roast” department. On January 25th, 2006, while at the Sundance film festival, screening “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore said this as chronicled in an article by CBS News: The former vice president came to town for the premiere of “An Inconvenient Truth,” a documentary chronicling what has become […]

Every UN Climate Summit Hailed as ‘Last Chance’ To Stop ‘Global Warming’ Before It’s Too Late
The countdown to the United Nation’s Paris Climate summit is approaching and the public is once again being warned that this meeting will represent the “last chance” for nations to act on “global warming” before it’s allegedly too late.
Media reports are touting “Paris is the last chance”.
Global warming activists have already been issuing multiple “tipping point” deadlines for decades.See: Climate Depot Special Report: Earth ‘Serially Doomed’: UN Issues New 15 Year Climate Tipping Point – But UN Issued Tipping Points in 1982 & Another 10-Year Tipping Point in 1989! -Inconvenient History of ‘Tipping Points’ — Hours, Days, Months, Years, Millennium — Earth ‘Serially Doomed’
We are also being told once again that the UN climate summit in Paris later this month, will be humanities “last chance” to “solve” global warming — or else.
See: Last chance! – – The United Nations Climate Change Conference is having its 21st meeting in Paris towards the end of 2015. (Hence COP21 or conference of parties). We’ve been told this is the ‘last effective opportunity’ to keep global warming to ‘a limit safe for humanity’.
Here is a sampling of previous “last chance” deadlines that turned out to be — well — not the “last chance” after all. (Courtesy the great research by http://climatechangepredictions.org/)
Previous ‘Last Chance’ UN climate summit deadlines:
Last chance! – Bonn, 2001 – A Global Warming Treaty’s Last Chance. That teetering edifice that is the Kyoto Protocol gets some emergency repair work this week as delegates from 180 countries gather in Bonn to work out problems that threaten to scuttle the deal altogether. – Time Magazine, 16 Jul 2001
Last chance! – Montreal, 2005 – In an open letter to delegates at the Montreal environmental summit, beginning today, campaigner Mark Lynas explains why action on climate change can no longer be stalled. “I’m scared. For 15 years I’ve watched international progress on climate change get slower and slower, even while the pace of global warming seems to get ever more rapid. With time running out for the global climate, your meeting in Montreal represents a last chance for action.” – The Independent, 28 Nov 2005
Last chance! – Bali, 2007 – World leaders will converge on Bali today for the start of negotiations which experts say could be the last chance to save the Earth from catastrophic climate change. Bali could be the
Global warming ‘tipping points’ identified
They found evidence of 41 cases of regional abrupt changes in the ocean, sea ice, snow cover, permafrost and terrestrial biosphere.
Many of these events occur for global warming levels of less than two degrees, a threshold sometimes presented as a safe limit.
However, although most models predict one or more abrupt regional shifts, any specific occurrence typically appears in only a few models.
“This illustrates the high uncertainty in predicting tipping points,” said lead author Professor Sybren Drijfhout from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton.
“More precisely, our results show that the different state-of-the-art models agree that abrupt changes are likely, but that predicting when and where they will occur remains very difficult.
“Also, our results show that no safe limit exists and that many abrupt shifts already occur for global warming levels much lower than two degrees,” he added.
Examples of detected climate tipping include abrupt shifts in sea ice and ocean circulation patterns, as well as abrupt shifts in vegetation and marine productivity. Sea ice abrupt changes were particularly common in the climate simulations.…
Planet Still Standing 500 Days After French Foreign Minister Warned of ‘Climate Chaos’ Deadline

Planet Still Standing 500 Days After French Foreign Minister Warned of ‘Climate Chaos’
8:08 AM, SEP 29, 2015 • BY JERYL BIER
In May 2014, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius declared during a joint appearance with Secretary of State John Kerry that “we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.” Late last week, time ran out. Fabius’s original remarks were as follows:
Well, I’m very happy to be with John. There is no week without a phone call or a visit between John and myself, and we have on the agenda many items, many issues – Iran, because negotiations are resuming today; the question of Syria, and we shall meet next Thursday in London together; Ukraine as well; and very important issues, issue of climate change, climate chaos. And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos. And I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.
As THE WEEKY STANDARD reported in May 2014, it is unclear exactly where the foreign minister came up with 500 days, but France is hosting the “21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change” in from November 30 to December in Paris. The conference is scheduled to begin 565 days after the foreign minister originally issued his warning.…

Michael Mann on 2016: ‘This will be a make-or-break presidency as far as our ability to avert a climate change catastrophe.’
…Prince Charles gives world reprieve: Extends ‘100-Month’ climate ‘tipping point’ to 35 more years
Prince Charles declared on July 18, 2015 that the world now has “just 35 years to save the planet” from “global warming”. But this new climate ‘tipping point’ marks a huge reprieve from Prince Charles original 100 month tipping point issued in 2009.
The 2015 UK Western Morning News interview with Charles revealed that “His Royal Highness warns that we have just 35 years to save the planet from catastrophic climate change.”
Charles extends climate doomsday deadline from months to 35 more years. (H/T to ‘Not A lot Of People Know That’ blog.)
But Prince Charles declared in 2009 that we had just 96 months to save the world from “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” (Note: Four months earlier in 2009, Charles had issued a ‘100-month’ tipping point deadline.)
A July 9, 2009 UK Independent article explained that “the heir to the throne told an audience of industrialists and environmentalists at St James’s Palace last night that he had calculated that we have just 96 months left to save the world.”
The upcoming skeptical climate documentary Climate Hustle will feature Prince Charles’ exclusive monthly ‘tipping point’ countdown. For a while, Prince Charles diligently kept to his monthly climate countdown.
“Be in no doubt that unless greenhouse gas emissions reach their peak within about 100 months–just 100 months–it may well be too late to stop temperatures rising beyond dangerous levels,” Charles originally declared in 2009.
And he stuck to his tipping point timeline.
“The grim reality is that our planet has reached a point if crisis and we have only seven years before we lose the levers of control,” he declared as the months ticked away.
In 2014, Prince Charles seemed to lose hope: “We are running out of time. How many times have I found myself saying this over recent years?”
Update: Wash. Times Features Climate Depot: Prince Charles extends climate doomsday deadline by 33 years: “The best projections tell us that we have less than 100 months to alter our behaviour before we risk catastrophic climate change,” the Prince of Wales said in a speech in Rio de Janeiro, as reported by the [U.K.] Telegraph. Four months later, he predicted in an interview with the [U.K.] Independent that the Earth had 96 months left to avoid “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with …
