How Climate Alarmists Profit From The Scare

Meanwhile the charlatans who are perpetuating this fraud are benefitting very nicely!
Johan Rockström, a prominent Swedish scientist and director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, has been awarded the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, commonly known as the environmental Nobel Prize. This recognition, initially reported by the Wall Street Journal, includes a $250,000 award and celebrates profound contributions to environmental science, policy and awareness.Graphic representation of the Planetary Boundaries concept.

Administered by the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the Tyler Prize honors Rockström for his seminal research on the “Planetary Boundaries” framework. This framework serves as a scientific compass, guiding humanity to maintain the planet within a safe operational zone.
Rockström, whose research is featured in the Netflix documentary “Breaking Boundaries: The Science of our Planet“ with David Attenborough, is acclaimed for pinpointing nine systems essential for Earth’s environmental equilibrium, encompassing freshwater availability, atmospheric ozone integrity and biological diversity. He has meticulously mapped a “tipping point” threshold for each system, underscoring the critical need to respect these limits to prevent irreversible ecological degradation.
“His scientific achievements, coupled with his ability to influence policy and engage with the public, have made an invaluable contribution to our planet’s welfare,” said Tyler Prize Chair Julia Marton-Lefèvre.
The accolade will be formally presented to Rockström on May 17 during a ceremony in Potsdam, Germany. Previous winners include conservationist Jane Goodall and climate scientist Michael Mann.
Instituted in 1973 and stewarded by USC Dornsife, home to USC’s renowned Environmental Studies program and the Wrigley Institute for Environment and Sustainability, the Tyler Prize reflects the university’s deep commitment to environmental research and education, consistent with USC President Carol Folt’s Assignment: Earth initiative.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
This is clearly a new usage of the term “democracy” with which I am unfamiliar.
The two directors of the UK “Chaper” (they sure ain’t no angels) of Democracy without Borders are Josephine Borghi an associate of Neil Pantsdown Ferguson and John Vlasto a former Merchant Banker both literal and rhyming slang.
Josephine has Covid form and Johnny boy looks like he’s auditioning for a job as a bouncer.
Dictators almost certainly – Democrats, no chance.
WHY ARE YOU A WORLD FEDERALIST?
A world federation would enable the global unity necessary to address global challenges, while preserving and celebrating the maximum of human diversity – unity without uniformity, diversity without fragmentation.
Vlasto’s quote.
Just the usual utterly meaningless garbage. As ever, what he means is people won’t vote for what I want so we need a dictatorship.
unity without uniformity, diversity without fragmentation
Looks like Vlasto hasn’t factored in the muslim crowd.
Yet another lot that haven’t factored in human nature…
Isn’t it the standard “Demoncracy is freedom of thought, so long as only you agree with me”?
guiding humanity to maintain the planet within a safe operational zone
We are pissants. The planet will maintain itself just fine. As it has for 4.5 billion years. Their objective is to constrain humanity. It has FA to do with the planet.
Word salad to get you to surrender your freedom.
“guiding humanity”. They really think they are super-special. Messiah complexes to rival Tony Blair and Obama.
Climate scientists have been wrong with their predictions for close on 100 years. 1923 Montana Glacier could disappear by 1948 Says Professor Waterman.
1952 Montana’s Glacier Park may need new name The giant glaciers are melting away and could be gone in 50 years
2009 No more Glaciers in Montana by 2020? 2021 All of the glaciers in Glacier National Park are expected to be gone by 2030 1939 Scientists warn earth entering new cycle of warmer weather. 1947 Scientist warns Arctic warming at an ‘unprecedented’ rate. 1970 New Ice Age coming by 2020 1974: ‘New Ice Age Coming Fast’ Letter to the President from Scientists 1976: Scientific Consensus Planet Cooling 1981: Scientists (including Steven Schneider) warn global warming would see Buckingham Palace 7 feet underwater
1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years 1989: Rising temperatures and seas by 2030 2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is by 2010.
etc.
Sorry about the typography.
It is still a big headscratcher trying to find one – yes just ONE – prediction that they have got right.
How ungrateful you are. Instead of thanking these geniuses for making sure that the sky does not fall on our stupid heads, you are jealous of their well-deserved rewards. 🙂
Abso-blooming-lutely! Where would we be without these bien-pensants? Warmer and better-off, to begin with?…..
“Johan Rockström, a prominent Swedish scientist …“
He is nothing but an agronomist, a worm farmer at best and wanted to get rich and famous, so he did an “Al Gore” years ago …
Like the Oscars or the BAFTAs, people congratulating themselves on agreeing with each other about how super-brilliant they are.
Excellent description of this type of human group. I suppose birds of a feather flock together throughout recent history . I keep thinking of Kaiser Wilhelm’s German philosophers. ( I could be wrong ) A mutual admiration society anyway.
Interesting to see Mann also got the 1/4 million dollars, for profound contributions to environmental science, policy and awareness.
“climate scientist Michael Mann“
What a joke.
And the Met Office reckon we’ve had a wet winter!
Scientists discovered proof of when it rained for 2 million years on Earth

Rockstrom is also one of the authors of ‘Earth for All’ published in 2022 by the Club of Rome. On page 136 you find the following
“As the costs of solar, wind and batteries fall we reach a point of clean energy superabundance of near zero marginal cost. Rather than concern about intermittent supply, the implication is that the clean energy interruption based on solar, wind and batteries heralds the potential to break through to a new energy system the likes of which we have never seen before. It will enable humanity not only to meet our current energy needs sustainably but to electrify a vast array of other things that are economically impossible within the current system”
Totally delusional!
