Poor old Martin Martyn Bradbury. No wonder his blog is so depressing. A recent post is all doom and climate gloom.

> By 2030, over 50% of the oceans will be collapsing as bio-habitats.

This quote links to *The Washington Post*, that paragon of scientific rigour:

> More than half the world’s oceans **could** suffer multiple symptoms of climate change over the next 15 years, including rising temperatures, acidification, lower oxygen levels and decreasing food supplies, new research **suggests.** By midcentury, without significant efforts to reduce warming, more than 80 percent **could** be ailing — and the fragile Arctic, already among the most rapidly warming parts of the planet, **may be** one of the regions most severely hit.The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, **uses computer models …**

Could, might, may be – models suggest! Say no more. Get some real facts, Martyn, before you worry.

> By 2030, East Coast cities in the U.S. can expect to see two to three-times as many flooding incidents.

More panic based on models and dodgy sea-level rise prediction. But still, if it is in the *Guardian*, it must be true.

> By 2030, 122million will be driven into extreme poverty as direct result of climate change.

More coulds and maybes reported in the *Guardian* from the UN FAO. Well, they’re not biased, so it must be true.

> By 2030, 100million will die as a direct consequence of climate change.

This links to a *Reuters* article that says:

> It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

> [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-inaction/100-million-to-die-by-2030-if-world-fails-to-act-on-climate-idUSBRE88O1HG20120926?ref=goodoil.news)

In the context that 55.3 million people die every year anyway, how are these particular 5 million going to be linked to ‘fossil fuel use’?

> By 2030, even if the Paris Agreement is actually implemented, we will see a planet warm to 3.4 degrees by the end of this century meaning there will effectively be no future civilisation capable of surviving on a planet that warm.

People do that evil flying thing to visit Australia and Fiji etc because it is 3.4°C warmer there than here. Their civilisations seem to be surviving OK.

> By 2030, the global annual cost of global warming will be $3trillion.

But isn’t ‘global warming’ over? Aren’t we now onto ‘climate change’? Certainly the warming is not keeping pace with CO2 rises; that is why they changed the name. Any numbers based on ‘warming’ are going to be considerably wrong.

> 2030, the number of extremely hot days — classified as maximum temperatures of more than 35C — are tipped to climb **in all capital cities.**

This links to an **Australian** study. It talks about **Australian** capital cities. Wellingtonians need not panic.

> But don’t fret folks, by 2050 NZ might be carbon neutral!

My GP assures me that in all likelihood I will be around in 2030 so I shall write another article following up on all these outlandish claims. My confident prediction, based on the [climate ‘experts’ prediction success rate](https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/10/climate-emergency-fails-summary/?ref=goodoil.news) to date, is that [Martin Martyn ](https://thebfd.co.nz/the-bfd-dictionary/?ref=goodoil.news)will be 100% [wrongly wrongson](https://thebfd.co.nz/the-bfd-dictionary/?ref=goodoil.news) once again.
