"More than any other time in history, the 1990s will be a turning point for human civilization." ~ David Suzuki, 1990
I don’t think this is what he had in mind but global mean temperatures did stop rising toward the end of the 1990s. They went from rising to flat. Unfortunately for the climate models CO2 has continued to rise unabated thus short circuiting the potential preferred causal relation between the two.
"Humanity is facing a challenge unlike any we’ve ever had to confront. We are in an unprecedented period of change." ~ David Suzuki, 2011
Damn! Right again. Temps have been decreasing since 2002. We are going to have to come to terms with our botched science and redo the global climate models.
“All life on Earth is our kin. And in an act of generosity, our relatives create the four sacred elements for us.”..."We have become a force of nature...Not long ago, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, forest fires, even earthquakes and volcanic explosions were accepted as "natural disasters or "acts of God." But now, we have joined God, powerful enough to influence these events." ~ David Suzuki
Well, I wish he were correct. It would be nice to be able to stop volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and the rest of the cast members of extreme weather. Tinkering with CO2 atmospheric concentration has been shown to be a fruitless endeavour, wishful thinking of the delusional kind.
Two out of three is not bad. Spurred on by his crystal ball of scientific accuracy Suzuki proposed a solution for deniers.
Since he was so wrong can we put David in the slammer for falsely impersonating a scientist?
David, missed the recall on his crystal ball.
