This shows Hanson's and others predictions going back about 45 years have been right on.

These scientists are really good at math and physics-lol!

PS the Republicans have stopped every effort the dems make to mitigate climate change.

Reagan took off the solar panels and Trump pulled us out of the Paris accords and wants a return to coal--egads-lol!

Scientists know how measure and quantify variables and then predict the climate going forward.

I don't think the garden variety right wing pundit on GW is doing that-lol!>

The achilles heel of green energy has always been and will continue to be storage. Advancements have been made but nothing close to what is required. People will be far less enthusiastic about their electric cars in 10 years when the batteries need to be replaced at 1/3 of the price of a new car. There are other alternatives such as hydrogen yes, however at this time oil and gas drive the 90% of the worlds energy and allow 7 billion people to live on the planet. To add to that green energy currently is not close to paying its way as it primarily exists on subsidies from government money collected on gas taxes etc. If governments deem green energy mandatory that suppresses the need for the industry to innovate which is a bad thing. As with all new industries some help is needed however oil and gas will be around for another 200 years.
