The climate alarmists claimed to speak with the authority of science. When they announce deadlines for action, they as responsible scientists must accept the consequences of refuted conjectures.
As all these deadlines is passed, preventative action on climate change must be too late if only because that that’s the only meaningful interpretation of those deadlines. The only sensible course of action is mitigation and adaptation.
Michael Bastasch at TheDailyCaller recently penned an amusing article titled the 25 Years of Predicting The Global Warming ‘Tipping Point’. It’s an enjoyable read, beginning:

Steve Goddard does a great service in collecting these news clips over the decade, foreshadowing doom as a result of global warming.
They are a wonderful antidote when the climate alarmists complain about of 20 years is not enough sample data to discern a break in trend yet the climate alarmists make highly specific predictions over even shorter samples.
If I had a dollar for every time a climate alarmist said this season’s temperature, snow or rain or lack of any or all of them is evidence of global warming.
On May 4, 2007 – UN scientists gave us eight years to avoid planetary doom. That date passed yesterday, and the planet died.

This is a particularly sad day, because it is also the 15th anniversary of UN global warming destroying the planet.
And in only five more years, a new ice age will destroy the planet.

Why don’t GOP presidential candidates address climate change? Because they want to win.

Republicans furthest to the right are also most likely to reject the scientific consensus that human activity is to blame.
Why does this matter for 2016? Because conservative voters turn out heavily in primaries.
In 2012, two-thirds of the Republican primary electorate identified itself as conservative or very conservative in exit polling. Only one-third identified itself as being moderate or liberal Republicans.
When two-thirds of voters overlaps with the group that’s most likely to reject the idea that we should address climate change, that’s a strong disincentive to hold your ground on the subject.
