World on track for nearly 11-degree temperature rise, energy expert says
The chief economist for the International Energy Agency said Monday that current global energy consumption levels put the Earth on a trajectory to warm by 6 degrees Celsius (10.8 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels by 2100, an outcome he called “a catastrophe for all of us.”
That could happen. And monkeys could fly out of my ass. Even master warmist Andy Dessler doesn’t buy the UN’s bullshit.
the most likely value for climate sensitivity is around, probably slightly below, 3°C

What do you expect from an economist?
I thought people knew better than to listen or give credence to what an economist has to say. Evidence point to advice from economists being part of what lead to the current world problems.
OTOH being an economist probably means he knows more about the science behind climate than many of the Climatologists that write for the IPCC!
Of course 20 F warmer 6 moths of the year would be fine by me, like today when we have a chance for snow due to high CO2 levels.
I have yet to see evidence from these stupid people.About a PAST example of massive warming in less than 100 years time frame.
But somehow it is now possible to see it happen within 90 years from now.Yeah riiiight!
Here is what is amazing.The dominant climate trend for the last 4,000 years has been cooling.The interglacial time is almost gone as we are already into the climatic autumn.
Most glaciers outside of Greenland and Antarctica are less then 4,000 years old.WE are nearing the time where summers become too cool in the north and spread slowly to the south.
That is what most of the worlds idiots are not aware of.They are going into the future looking in the wrong direction.
Which model predicted the flying monkeys?
Oh, wow, did I hear you say:
“The chief economist for the International Energy Agency …warm by 6 degrees Celsius … by 2100″?
This chief
climate scientisteconomist is from the same IEA which religiously promotes wind and solar power? Which are so uneconomic as risk the prosperity of whole countries?I think its definitely time to redefine the term “chief economist” to mean “head priest”.
Jan. 1, 2007: “The chief economist for Fannie May said that current market forces put the average value of a house in Las Vegas on a trajectory to be worth $5 billion by 2100, an outcome he called “runaway wealth for all of us.”
I sold a home in Las Vegas in Feb 2006 that had already lost 25% of its assessed value from the year before because the builder reduced their prices by 25% for the same model just being sold. I understand after I sold the market crashed and homes lost up to 75% of the price paid during the peak in 2005.
The economists are really good at fortune telling! I did not lose money selling the house but took a dramatic hit on my 401 and IRA accounts because I did not roll into fixed income accounts. Such is life.
Jan 1 2007 was during the downward slide for homes in Las Vegas. The Fannie May expert did not know what they were talking about. Reminds me of the so called climate experts.
Sorry, Mike… but I just made up that quote, based on the original quote, to make an analogy. So the dat was a little off. But I’m glad you got the point… and sorry you got caught in that mess but glad you missed the worst of it.
The further irony here, for all the AGW modelers and their stupid predictions, is that Wall street had the best modelers money could buy when they were making all their wrong PUBLIC predictions. Given what happened however, I’m guessing the insiders at Goldman Sachs et al were looking at much different models or, even more likely, reality.
The IEA clearly is taking money from big oil, so their pronouncements can be disregarded entirely.
If this chief economist is so sure of his claims, he could just throw himself into a volcano to stop it from happening. It worked for native peoples.
