NBC News recently touted a report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that says, "The chance to secure a livable future for everyone on Earth is slipping away." It further reported, "There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all." This was echoed by Manish Bapna, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council: "This is the stone cold truth laid out in unassailable science by the world's top climate experts. We're hurtling down the road to ruin and running out of time to change course."
That's the same U.N. that was wrong 34 years ago when Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, said that "Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.".
"Now let's shift attention to hypocritical politicians who make predictions with their mouths and actions, beginning with Barack Obama. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the sea level to rise by as much as 12" in the next 30 years.
NOAA predicts the sea level rise, "...will create a profound shift in coastal flooding over the next 30 years by causing tide and storm surge heights to increase and reach further inland. By 2050, 'moderate' flooding is expected to occur, on average, more than 10 times as often as it does today."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in 2019, "...there is an urgency needed in addressing man-made climate change, warning that it will 'destroy the planet' in a dozen years if humans do not address the issue, no matter the cost."
After the AP debunked her prediction, she tried to walk it back, tweeting, "This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and 'fact check' it. Like the 'world ending in 12 years' thing, you'd have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it's literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows."
Generation capacity to meet that demand throughout a given year will need to triple by 2045.
