>She was quoting James Anderson, a "renowned climate scientist".

And, again, you are still misrepresenting what was said.

>Like it or not, people like her have clout and status. Don't try and backpedal, cause you'd probably like this tweet if you saw it.

I didn't. I pointed out that it didn't state what you claimed it did.

Perhaps you should spend more time reading and less time...I dunno, whatever it is you do instead.

>And ya some places are got a degree or two warmer in a relatively short amount of time in Earth's history. Some didn't. You can come drink lemonade with me in my old folks home in 50 years time and admit I was right.

The amount of warming currently going on is unprecedented in the entire history modern humans have been on this planet.

The only comparable periods (and still slower and less dramatic) of climate change are linked to population collapse and large numbers of civilizational declines throughout our history.

>You can come drink lemonade with me in my old folks home in 50 years time and admit I was right.

LOL. You think you will be able to afford an old folks home. Cute.

> Although the advisory opinion will be non-binding, it will carry significant weight and authority and could inform climate negotiations as well as future climate lawsuits around the world.

Ah yes, the non-binding opinions that carry "significant weight". Wonder why governments don't make filing our taxes "non-binding" if that's all ya needed for compliance.
