    Hoax? Gov Report Says Global Temps To Spike 7 Degrees

    Trump administration sees a 7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100

    Juliet Eilperin, Brady Dennis, and Chris Mooney, September 28, 2018 (Washington Post)

    “…A rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit, or about four degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe…[But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s draft Environmental Impact Report says that] fate is already sealed…[It] was written to justify President Trump’s decision to freeze federal fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks built after 2020…[The impact statement says] that policy would add just a very small drop to a very big, hot bucket…

    The document projects that global temperature will rise by nearly 3.5 degrees Celsius above the average temperature between 1986 and 2005 regardless of whether Obama-era tailpipe standards take effect or are frozen for six years, as the Trump administration has proposed. The global average temperature rose more than 0.5 degrees Celsius between 1880, the start of industrialization, and 1986, so the analysis assumes a roughly four degree Celsius or seven degree Fahrenheit increase from preindustrial levels…If enacted, the administration’s proposals would give new life to aging coal plants; allow oil and gas operations to release more methane into the atmosphere; and prevent new curbs on greenhouse gases used in refrigerators and air-conditioning units. The vehicle rule alone would put 8 billion additional tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere this century, more than a year’s worth of total U.S. emissions, according to the government’s own analysis…” click here for more
