“THINK” Progress – “even school children understand that global warming is real” – Then they make a 1st grade geography error

Stink Progress breathlessly reports that the world is going to warm 11 degrees by the end of this century, and even school children know that.

They cite an IEA “Bombshell” that states -

So how does Think Progress follow-up their condescension about “school children” being smarter than “deniers”?

Of course, 1000 ppm is also the Pacific Ocean all over Miami Beach, so Miami beach has to go somewhere.

The Pacific Ocean? THE PACIFIC OCEAN????!!

Morans.

I normally wouldn’t link Stink Progress, but, just in case you don’t believe me.

UPDATE: The idiots corrected their embarrassing error, but I have a screen shot!

    Apparently the entire Moran family is not too bright.

    NO, NO! Wait!

    Maybe they’re saying that our wish is about to come true and, if we act in time, we can SAVE South Beach!

    What if the Pacific ocean were to rise enough to get anywhere near Miami? It means submersion of the California coastline, turning the now-Chinese-owned Panama Canal into a free-for-all isthmus, flooding all the illegal-immigrant dope tunnels in Arizona and New Mexico, getting rid of the world’s oldest gay bar (New Orleans) for good and re-creation of the inland sea which gave America its oil in the first place.

    Just wishful thinking. I’d love to see everything west of the San Andreas fault fall into the ocean and stay there. And frankly, I’d like to see SAouth Beach meet the same fate.

    My house would then be literally, as well as figuratively, UNDER WATER. I’d make that sacrifice for America.

    Some children also believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus. I’m guessing the more sophisticated at Stink Progress do too.

    The Morans are a nice Irish family down the street.

    Sean Moran likes dew rags, the Cards, and encouraging his family to improve their lot in life.

    Who’s that Morans fellow that need a brain?

    I could sell him mine. I find it quite useless.

    I’m going in Thailand and there, one doesn’t need it anyway. You only needs sound instinct as to whom to trust.

    A chief economist is quoted as saying the world will warm 11 degrees by 2100. An economist?

    The article is so poorly written I can barely follow the train of thought.

    People that believe Man is causing global warming,or climate change, have little or no understanding of the relationship between the SUN, and Earth, the SUN produces a 1000 times more energy on earth than MAN ever could, and Not one of you genius’ can show me (Mathematically) how a trace gas (CO2) that occupies 390 Parts Per Million in our Atmosphere can cause ANY appreciable change in temperature. the goal of Climate Change isn’t about Climate, it’s about Carbon Tax Credits, and TAXES to fleece morons willing to go along with such ridiculous claims that people like the inventor of the Internet, and Global Warming stand to reap Billions of dollars on a scam so ridiculous it boggles the mind people would fall for it, the Changes in Earths temperatures are virtually identical to the SUNS activities, and anyone paying attention knows the Sun operates in 11 year cycles, this being a very active cycle period, and HUGE Solar Flares, which were recently seen, and now the Earth is heating a bit, and yet when the earth overheats, it increases in Volcanic activity, and the ash and smoke block the sun, and temps drop……dont be so easily fooled by people with an agenda, …that Lines their Pockets….
