The "Catastrophic" Climate Change Probability You'll Want To Know
As Donald Trump sends mixed messages about whether the U.S. will actually withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords, researchers at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography have come to a shocking conclusion about climate change.
In a new report - they say there is a 1 in 20 chance of it wiping out humanity - as in the human race - by the end of the century.
"The chance of 'catastrophic' climate change completely wiping out humanity by 2100 is now 1-in-20".
A 1 in 20 chance of the apocalypse is insanely high....
If we want to stop climate change before it's too late, we need to start listening to Dick Cheney.
Seriously - I'm not kidding.
Dick Cheney is a war criminal who should spend the rest of his days rotting in the Hague.
But we'll still need to take his advice if we want to stop climate change from ending human civilization as we know it.
He once said we should go to war with a country if there was just a one percent chance that that country was helping terrorists get a nuclear bomb.
Shouldn't we apply that thinking to climate change?
