Study: Baked-in warming will blow past climate goals
“Think about the
climate system
like the Titanic.
It’s hard to turn
the ship when
you see the
icebergs.”

“Those kinds of people need to be
known, publicly,” Heard said. “They
are cowards. They are bullies. They
have no right to anonymity.”
The Roseburg News-Review reported
Saturday that the group had revealed
the identity of two Douglas County
women, both senior citizens, who it said
had filed complaints with state regula-
tors about businesses that failed to com-
ply with public health guidance.
According to the newspaper’s ac-
count, when a reporter started asking
questions, the women’s names were
removed from the Citizens Against
Tyranny’s website. Prior to removal,
the website labeled the women as
“filthy traitors,” the newspaper wrote,
and the words were spattered with
red, as if to indicate blood.
The newspaper protected the wom-
en’s names out of concern for potential
harassment. One of the named women
told the paper she was shocked. “I’m
not a filthy traitor, I’m a good Ameri-
can,” she said. She reportedly had called
the state regarding workers not wearing
masks at a Safeway in Reedsport.

The amount of baked-in global warming,
from carbon pollution already in the air, is
enough to blow past international agreed upon
goals to limit climate change, a new study finds.
But it’s not game over because, while that
amount of warming may be inevitable, it can be
delayed for centuries if the world quickly stops
emitting extra greenhouse gases from the burning
of coal, oil and natural gas, the study’s authors say.
For decades, scientists have talked about so-
called “committed warming” or the increase in
future temperature based on past carbon dioxide
emissions that stay in the atmosphere for well
over a century. It’s like the distance a speeding
car travels after the brakes are applied.
But the study in the journal Nature Climate
Change, released last week, calculates that a bit
differently and now figures the carbon pollution
already put in the air will push global tempera-
tures to about 2.3 degrees Celsius (4.1 Fahren-
heit) of warming since pre-industrial times.
Previous estimates, including those accepted
by international science panels, were about a de-
gree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) less than
that amount of committed warming.
did not respond to a request for com-
ment.
The group’s goals
In his speech at the church, Heard
said people publicly identified by
Citizens Against Tyranny had to be
“heavily vetted” and said group mem-
bers were not the “pitchfork and
torches crowd.”
But he said the group’s declara-
tion, which he said was modeled on
the Declaration of Independence “in
scope and purpose,” is clear that any-
one — be they a public employee or
a private citizen — who attempts to
deprive businesses of their rights to
operate freely in violation of corona-
virus restrictions “will be held fully
accountable and will be made publicly
known for their hostile actions.”
Heard said he didn’t endorse vio-
lence or aggressive action toward those
who filed complaints, but he also re-
ferred to them as rats and “extremists”
who should “no longer be immune to
the consequences of their actions.”
He noted that people who are
scared of COVID-19 can stay home
and have groceries delivered or
brought out to them if needed.
“You never have to be exposed to us
lepers,” he added.
International climate agreements set goals of
limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahr-
enheit) since pre-industrial times, with the more
ambitious goal of limiting it to 1.5 degrees Cel-
sius (2.7 Fahrenheit) added in Paris in 2015. The
world has already warmed about 1.1 degrees
Celsius (2 Fahrenheit).
“You’ve got some ... global warming inertia
that’s going to cause the climate system to keep
warming, and that’s essentially what we’re calcu-
lating,” said study co-author Andrew Dessler, a
climate scientist at Texas A&M University. “Think
about the climate system like the Titanic. It’s hard
to turn the ship when you see the icebergs.”
Dessler and colleagues at the Lawrence Liv-
ermore National Lab and Nanjing University in
China calculated committed warming to take
into account that the world has warmed at differ-
ent rates in different places and that places that
haven’t warmed as fast are destined to catch up.
Places such as the Southern Ocean, surround-
ing Antarctica are a bit cooler, and that difference
creates low-lying clouds that reflect more sun
away from earth, keeping these places cooler. But
this situation can’t keep going indefinitely because
physics dictates that cooler locations will warm
up more and when they do, the clouds will dwin-
“We have a duty to represent all
the citizens in our elected area,
and we have a duty to uphold the
Constitution.”
— State Rep. Gary Leif, R-Roseburg,
who says he does not support the group
Citizens Against Tyranny
According to the declaration, peo-
ple who file complaints against busi-
nesses should be banned from local
businesses.
“Banned persons will be refused
service at all participating businesses
until a public apology is issued and full
monetary restitution offered, equal
to any and all damages to or costs in-
curred by the person(s) or business(es)
harmed by the above listed hostile ac-
tions!” the declaration reads.
Little official local support
Heard noted in his Friday speech
that he doesn’t have the support of the
Douglas County Commission.
He also doesn’t have the support of
John Hanlin, the county sheriff. Han-
lin told the News-Review he doesn’t
support outing public citizens. “I don’t
feel that sharing the names of indi-
dle and more heating will occur, Dessler said.
Previous studies were based on the cooler
spots staying that way, but Dessler and col-
leagues say that’s not likely.
Outside experts said the work is based on
compelling reasoning, but want more research
to show that it’s true. Breakthrough Institute
climate scientist Zeke Hausfather said the new
work fits better with climate models than obser-
vational data.
Just because the world is bound to get more
warming than international goals, that doesn’t
mean all is lost in the fight against global warm-
ing, said Dessler, who cautioned against what he
called “climate doomers.”
If the world gets to net zero carbon emissions
soon, 2 degrees of global warming could be de-
layed enough so that it won’t happen for centu-
ries, giving society time to adapt or even come
up with technological fixes, he said.
“If we don’t, we’re going to blow through (cli-
mate goals) in a few decades,” Dessler said. “It’s
really the rate of warming that makes climate
change so terrible. If we got a few degrees over
100,000 years, that would not be that big a deal.
We can deal with that. But a few degrees over
100 years is really bad.”
viduals who think or may believe that
they are reporting … violations of
law or violations of the governor’s or-
ders, I don’t believe it’s appropriate to
shame them or publish their names
for doing what they believe may be
the right thing,” Hanlin told the paper.
He added that it’s not appropriate to
publish names of people who “report
drunk drivers or who report a domes-
tic disturbance.”
Hanlin also told the paper he didn’t
like the fact the Citizens Against Tyr-
anny was demanding elected officials
sign on, calling it “coercion.”
Rep. Gary Leif, R-Roseburg, posted
his disapproval to Facebook, saying he
was “very distressed” by Heard’s “pos-
sible connection” to the group.
Heard said Friday during the video
that he helped the group’s volunteer
board write the declaration.
The Citizens Against Tyran-
ny’s webpage includes a tab labeled
“Press,” which includes only stories or
videos about Heard and his decision
to remove his mask during a special
session of the Legislature at the Capi-
tol in Salem.
One of the links is to his wife’s In-
stagram page, which shows her van-
tage point for the December speech.
Leif, the fellow Roseburg lawmaker,
said he supported Hanlin’s stance. “We
have a duty to represent all the citizens
in our elected area, and we have a duty
to uphold the Constitution.”
Leif said he has experienced
“threats from members of these ex-
treme groups.”
‘Start reading that Constitution’
The Friday event appeared to show
Heard and the Citizens Against Tyr-
anny have considerable support in
Douglas County.
Heard started his comments by say-
ing he typically shoots from the hip and
says thing he later regrets but pledged
to be “structured” and “controlled.”
The speech was tinged with calls for
religious action but also a broader call,
from Heard and Baertschiger, for col-
lective grassroots political action.
“Start reading that Constitution,”
Heard said. “Start reading that Bi-
ble. And turn off Fox News, CNN,
MSNBC, just turn them off,” he said
at one point.
At another point, he noted that the
group may be too big for its space at the
Garden Valley Church in Roseburg.
“We may go ask the county com-
missioners if we can use the fair-
grounds,” he said, a comment that
drew laughter and cheers.
