That ZeroHedge's article on climate change is the perfect shit sandwich of unrelated facts for someone with confirmation bias. It conveniently ignores the atmospheric carbon dioxide which has reached unprecedented levels. Levels that are clearly man made. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

I honestly expected better from you.

11 years or we miss the stated target. A target the IPCC has assessed as important for preserving a manageable and comfortable way of life as we know it. Not 11 years and game over scrolls up the screen.

Al Gore didn't say we would be underwater by now either.

It's 11-12 years to try and slow things down enough. That's not exactly the same but it could end up effectively the same.

Except one side is based on broad scientific consensus and the other is based on your precious GEOTUS and corporate cronies who would rather see the human race dead than any threat to profits.

> Literally, global warming activists, including presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, are saying we have 11 years or less left of Earth,

They literally are not, conservatives & CC deniers like you just keep parroting this misrepresentation for the purposes of easy dismissal. The 11-12 years is a time period for REDUCING EMISSIONS to keep warming UNDER A CERTAIN LEVEL. but of course you know this and are simply lying about it.
