Climate chaos will spark financial & social crises if govts fail to act

[Horn]

Climate change will breed financial crises and plummeting living standards unless leading states force companies to be transparent about their true carbon emissions, governor of the Bank of England (BoE) Mark Carney has said.
Speaking at a conference hosted by Lloyd’s of London on Tuesday, Carney warned insurers are heavily exposed to risks posed by climate change. He argued governments and citizens must act promptly if they are to stave off the catastrophic effects of global warming.
“The challenges currently posed by climate change pale in significance compared with what might come,” Carney said.
“The far-sighted amongst you are anticipating broader global impacts on property, migration and political stability, as well as food and water security. So why isn’t more being done to address it?”


The BoE chief said a number of proposals for tackling the crisis would be submitted at the G20 meeting in Turkey in November. As part of the summit, developed and developing nations will discuss measures to introduce more stringent corporate disclosure standards, so investors can better gauge risks posed by climate change.
Carney said a growing body of evidence indicates humans’ role in climate change is significant. Looking ahead to France’s climate change summit in December, he warned climate chaos directly threatens states’ “financial resilience and longer-term prosperity.”
Carney heads the Financial Stability Board, a body founded in 2009 to monitor risks to the global financial system. Reflecting on climate chaos, he said financial losses will be higher than predicted if recent weather events become normal.
“Climate change is the tragedy of the horizon. We don’t need an army of actuaries to tell us that the catastrophic impacts of climate change will be felt beyond the traditional horizons of most actors – imposing a cost on future generations that the current generation has no direct incentive to fix,” he told crowds gathered at the Lloyd’s conference.

“The horizon for monetary policy extends out to two to three years. For financial stability it is a bit longer, but typically only to the outer boundaries of the credit cycle – about a decade. In other words, once climate change becomes a defining issue for financial stability, it may already be too late.”

The Australian prime minister's chief business adviser says that climate change is a ruse led by the United Nations to create a new world order under the agency's control. The statement coincided with a visit from the UN's top climate negotiator.

Humans of the future: Short, allergic to meat and with night vision



HAVE we been looking at the climate change issue all wrong?

Scientists are becoming increasingly interested in whether changing ourselves instead of the environment could be the unexpected solution to the world’s biggest problem.

The controversial idea of “human engineering” to lower our impact on the planet was suggested by New York University bioethics professor S Matthew Liao (http://www.smatthewliao.com/2012/02/09/human-engineering-and-climate-change/) in 2012, who said the concept was “potentially less risky than geoengineering” and “could help behavioural and market solutions succeed in mitigating climate change”.

His paper provoked horror and outrage. The Atlantic raised ethical concerns over tinkering with a person’s mind (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/how-engineering-the-human-body-could-combat-climate-change/253981/), allowing parents to make irreversible choices for their children and interfering with nature. Some made troubling comparisons with eugenics, and climate sceptics and environmentalists both attacked the concept (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2012/mar/14/human-engineering-climate-change-philosophy), which was labelled “disturbing” and “unsettling” by The Guardian.

Even Liao’s co-authors admitted they had gone out on a limb. Dr Anders Sandberg said “I was to some extent trolling” and Dr Rebecca Roache accepted that human engineering could seem “bizarre and unrealistic”.

But the idea hasn’t gone away. Gizmodo’s Meanwhile in the Future podcast (http://gizmodo.com/meanwhile-in-the-future-to-stop-climate-change-we-mus-1733583113)this week examined some of the specific ideas to see how altering our bodies might fix our planet. And this is just a starting point: the possibilities are endless.

[mick silver]

Climate change is real it been doing this from day one ... spring summer fall winter nothing new just a new year

[Horn]

The entire game is that the climate is and will change drastically in these coming years, but that it has anything to do with man's involvement is hocus pocus.

I am still convinced that someone conspired to gather these politicians and scientists together to try and sell global warming in the middle of a Dalton type solar minimum.

What was a sound philosophy based in advancement thru science in the west will become a laughing stock that its tied to. All moneys being poured into the debate will drain its very foundations away from any real advancement. Instead of just looking into cleaner energy technologies for the future, tons of cash are attracting any real science development into determining current trends and pointless global computer models.

They are simply putting into cryo-stasis Chinese global investment and CO2 shipping all the way from Shanghai. It is secure well into the future.

PATRICK MOORE: SHOULD WE CELEBRATE CARBON DIOXIDE?

Patrick Moore PhD, Global Warming Policy Foundation

2015 Annual GWPF Lecture


Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London 14 Londonhttp://www.thegwpf.com/content/uploads/2015/10/Patrick-Moore-574x1024.jpg
My Lords and Ladies, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you for the opportunity to set out my views on climate change. As I have stated publicly on many occasions, there is no definitive scientific proof, through real-world observation, that carbon dioxide is responsible for any of the slight warming of the global climate that has occurred during the past 300 years, since the peak of the Little Ice Age. If there were such a proof through testing and replication it would have been written down for all to see.


The contention that human emissions are now the dominant influence on climate is simply a hypothesis, rather than a universally accepted scientific theory. It is therefore correct, indeed verging on compulsory in the scientific tradition, to be skeptical of those who express certainty that “the science is settled” and “the debate is over”.


But there is certainty beyond any doubt that CO2 is the building block for all life on Earth and that without its presence in the global atmosphere at a sufficient concentration this would be a dead planet. Yet today our children and our publics are taught that CO2 is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilization to its knees. Tonight I hope to turn this dangerous human-caused propaganda on its head. Tonight I will demonstrate that human emissions of CO2 have already saved life on our planet from a very untimely end. That in the absence of our emitting some of the carbon back into the atmosphere from whence it came in the first place, most or perhaps all life on Earth would begin to die less than two million years from today.

Putin: ‘There is no global warming, a fraud to restrain the industrial development countries’
31st October 2015

........... Russia's official view appears to have changed little since 2003, when Putin told an international climate conference that warmer temperatures would mean Russians "spend less on fur coats" while "agricultural specialists say our grain production will increase, and thank God for that".

The president believes that "there is no global warming, that this is a fraud to restrain the industrial development of several countries including Russia," says Stanislav Belkovsky, a political analyst and critic of Putin. "That is why this subject is not topical for the majority of the Russian mass media and society in general."

New from the Vatican

Paris is the last chance

The next climate summit in Paris (cop21) may be the “last effective opportunity” to negotiate arrangements that keep human-induced warming “to a limit safe for humanity, while protecting the poor and the vulnerable from ongoing climate change that gravely endangers their lives”.

In agreement on this statement are religious and political leaders, scientists and representatives of the economic world who took part in the workshop, organized by the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences, on protecting the planet on Tuesday, 28 April, in the Vatican .In the joint declaration at the end of the workshop, it was expressed that the global community has a “special responsibility to agree at cop21 to a bold climate agreement” that aims to reverse the course.

Especially high-income countries – the text reads - “should help to finance the costs of climate-change mitigation in low-income countries”, in order to bring about “a rapid world transformation to a world powered by renewable and other low-carbon energy and the sustainable management of ecosystems”. To this end, “the shift of public financing from military spending to urgent investments for sustainable development” is indispensable.

Global Cooling: Decade Long Ice Age Predicted As Sun ‘Hibernates’

http://technocracy.news/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Antarctic_Iceberg_18-777x437.jpg
Scientists claim we are in for a decade-long freeze as the sun slows down solar activity by up to 60 per cent.


A team of European researchers have unveiled a scientific model showing that the Earth is likely to experience a “mini ice age” from 2030 to 2040 as a result of decreased solar activity.
Their findings will infuriate environmental campaigners who argue by 2030 we could be facing increased sea levels and flooding due to glacial melt at the poles.


However, at the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, Northumbria University professor Valentina Zharkova said fluctuations an 11-year cycle of solar activity the sun goes through would be responsible for a freeze, the like of which has not been experienced since the 1600s.


From 1645 to 1715 global temperatures dropped due to low solar activity so much that the planet experienced a 70-year ice age known as Maunder Minimum which saw the River Thames in London completely frozen.


The researchers have now developed a “double dynamo “model that can better predict when the next freeze will be.


Based on current cycles, they predict solar activity dwindling for ten years from 2030.
Professor Zharkova said two magnetic waves will cancel each other out in about 2030, leading to a drop in sun spots and solar flares of about 60 per cent.


Sunspots are dark concentrations of magnetic field flux on the surface that reduce surface temperature in that area, while solar flares are burst of radiation and solar energy that fire out across the solar system, but the Earth’s atmosphere protects us from the otherwise devastating effects.
She said: “In cycle 26, the two waves exactly mirror each other, peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the Sun.


“We predict that this will lead to the properties of a ‘Maunder minimum.
