You also have this new report about the effect climate change will have on people's health.
"Climate change is already damaging the health of children, and its impacts will harm the entire generation with serious health problems throughout their lives, according to a new report from the medical journal The Lancet.
Scientists and health experts from 35 academic institutions and United Nations agencies said that children will suffer from a rise in infectious diseases, malnutrition and air pollution if global warming continues on the current trajectory.
A child born today will experience a world that is more than 4˚C warmer by the time they turn 71 years old, a rate of warming that will threaten their health at every stage of their life, the report’s authors said."

Please consider the actual language used in your cited text!
"children will suffer from a rise in infectious diseases" Conditional future tense statements, based on the world being 4˚C warmer by 2090.
Please consider that we have warmed ~.9C in the last 120 years, without any CO2 regulation, US emissions are already back to 1990 levels, and the world continues to become more energy efficient.
What do the numbers say?
IF, ECS is 3 C (very large IF), than to be at 4C by 2090 without any latency, the CO2 level would need to be at about 705 ppm.

[h=2]Japanese Analysis Of 11,224 Climate Signatories Exposes Media/Science Sham…”Deep Blow To Credibility”[/h]By P Gosselin on 17. November 2019
The leading media worldwide cranked up the volume when it spread the news of how a statement had been published in the journal BioScience. The statement was a collaboration of “over 11,000 from 153 nations”.
The Guardian, for example reported: “The world’s people face ‘untold suffering due to the climate crisis’ unless there are major transformations to global society.”
Like most major media outlets around the world, the Guardian handled the “statement” as if it were the final confirmation needed to finally end any further discussion and hesitation on rapidly moving to a new, transformed “global society”.
Days later, after a more careful scrutiny of the list – which the media failed to carry out, it was uncovered that the list of signatories was a declaration of scientific and media sloppiness and deception. One of the signatories was even cartoon character “Mickey Mouse”. But it gets worse than that.
11,224 list analyzed by Japanese blogger
Since then Japanese climate science skeptic and blogger, Kirye, spent dozens of hours thoroughly compiling and evaluating the 11,224 signatories using an Excel spreadsheet. Her findings have added greater clarity and exposed the true extent of the once media ballyhooed statement now turned hoax.
5 of 11,224 a “climate scientist”
Of the 11,224 signatories, JUST FIVE (5) claimed to be a “climate scientist”.
Only 4 were meteorologists.
A vast number did not even state PhD or professor as their professional title/discipline. Only 2,796 (24.9%) had “professor” in their title. 1,481 (13.2%) of the signatories stated some form of PhD, including PhD “candidate”.
A total of 1,021 had “doctor in their title, i.e. only 9.1%. Many in an unrelated field.
302 of the signatories listed no professional title at all!
34 names had to be discarded altogether because they were invalid.
New climate experts: nephrologists, philiologists, pharmacists!
The vast majority were active in fields totally unrelated to climate science, such as “philiogist”, psychologist, CEO, political scientist, pharmacist, medical doctor, primatologist, physiopathology of the mitochondria, sociologist, industrial systems, nanoscientist, genetics, nephrologist, economist. biotech engineer, foreign language teacher, etc. In other words, it’s a list hyperinflated by unqualified climate activists. Others were affiliated with environmental activist groups.
“Disservice” to science …”blow to credibility”
Thie list and media handling were in fact so sloppy that it compelled German geologist and hjournalist Axel Bojanowski to write at Cicero here how the statement and list of signatories were “a disservice” to climate science and “a deep blow to the credibility of research (and the media), not only because the list of signatories has apparently been published without verification.”
“Mocks media quality control”
The former Der Spiegel science journalist added: “The fact that numerous representatives of environmental associations are among the signatories and many others without a professional title makes one doubt their scientific character” and that it “mocks” the “media’s quality control function.”

Slick sales job. Dr. Thomas Newsome falsely claiming over 11,000 “scientists” support the climate statement. Image cropped from video by University of Sydney.

Isn't it ironic how an old 60's movie might become more and more relevant to the AGW dogma?

This one showed up today:
Well OK some of that wasn't in the article but it might as well have been.
The Climate Cult thinks their message isn't getting through. They're wrong,
it's getting though just fine, but more than just a few people aren't buying it.
Renaming Climate Change: Can a new name finally make us take action?
Our team of wordsmiths developed the following new names for climate change:
Global Meltdown, Global Melting, Climate Collapse, Climate Chaos, Boiling Point,
Melting Point, Old Testament biblical wrath of God type stuff. Scorched Earth,
fire and brimstone coming from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years
of darkness! Earthquakes! Volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human
sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, The Great Collapse, Mass hysteria!
The complete destruction of the Earth as we know it.
Whatever we call it, impending climate doom is upon us if we don’t act quickly.
Global leaders have been sluggish, and by and large, individuals have failed to
see the need for immediate action. But maybe branding can help. Perhaps a new
name will shift the needle, even if just a little.

There the evidence is so overwhelming that even federal agencies under Donald Trump have to acknowledge the urgent need for action.

Funny thing is, they are no more flawed that than papers used by alarmists. Probably less flawed.

Haven't you learned yet that you over use links you don't understand?
Why can't you say things in you own words? Why to you have to speak in links?
I see that as a speech impediment.

Not by just linking material.
For it to be effective, you need to quote a segment of each link that is pertinate, and explain them in your own words.
Why you do just pisses us off, because you link TMI, and ask us to find what you fail to elaborate on.
I consider it very ignorant.

Here is a direct quote from ExxonMobile website there they acknowledge the serious risks of climate change and their support of the Paris accord.
"Today marks the entering into force of the Paris climate agreement. The agreement is an important step forward by world governments in addressing the serious risks of climate change.
ExxonMobil supports the work of the Paris signatories, acknowledges the ambitious goals of this agreement and believes the company has a constructive role to play in developing solutions."
Statements on Paris climate agreement | ExxonMobil
That the evidence of manmade global warming and it's devastating effects is so overwhelming that even fossil fuel companies are forced to acknowledge it. Just like federal agencies under Donald Trump.
"The impacts of climate change are already being felt in communities across the country. More frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities. Future climate change is expected to further disrupt many areas of life, exacerbating existing challenges to prosperity posed by aging and deteriorating infrastructure, stressed ecosystems, and economic inequality. Impacts within and across regions will not be distributed equally. People who are already vulnerable, including lower-income and other marginalized communities, have lower capacity to prepare for and cope with extreme weather and climate-related events and are expected to experience greater impacts. Prioritizing adaptation actions for the most vulnerable populations would contribute to a more equitable future within and across communities. Global action to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions can substantially reduce climate-related risks and increase opportunities for these populations in the longer term."
