i did. he did

Did he say by 2025 or between 2025 and 2050?

eh ??

if it could happen in 2025 or 2026 or 2027 ......2050

it could happen by 2025


or maybe you interpret it differently. what did he mean then ?

He said between 2025 and 2050. That is different from by 2025. Happy to be corrected if I have this embarrassingly wrong.

he said 'this is happening now'

i.e. temps are going up now (1988) . he didnt mean they would stay flat then suddenly leap up in 2025 - 2050 and hit 20f higher during that window.

he meant temps would rise in lock step with co2, and at some point in the window(2025 - 2050) they would hit a high. the high would mean that some points on the planet would be 20f more than they were in 1998.

it's obviously hype and nonsense.

I've quoted this already. Read it more carefully.

If the current pace of the buildup of these gases continues, the effect is likely to be a warming of 3 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit from the year 2025 to 2050, according to these projections. This rise in temperature is not expected to be uniform around the globe but to be greater in the higher latitudes, reaching as much as 20 degrees, and lower at the Equator.

eh ????

in my interpretation he claimed temps would be 20f more in the window 2025 - 2050 (in higher lats)

in your interpretation, when would temps reach 20f in those lats



please , please dont tell me you are playing with words OG

He doesn't say by 2025, but from 2025 to 2050. That means the rise will occur between those two years. Or have I got this wrong?

ok. you are agreeing with me, but disputing the word 'by'


if I say 'by' + 1 second


would that satisfy you ?

Stop it. I've been up every night with my baby for a week and this isn't kind.

In the bit I quote he doesn't say anything about what will happen up to 2025, but he does make predictions as to what (looking forward from 1988) would happen after 2025.
