The British-based aid and development charity estimated the number of people affected by climatic disasters would rise by 54 percent to 375 million people a year on average by 2015 (Gets out slide rule). Let's see, we have a 54% rise in six years. So this year 244 million will be affected, and by 2015 375 million per year will be affected. So in (click, click) 40 years, 2049, every single person on Earth will be hit by a natural disaster, and by 2051 everyone will get whacked twice a year, then four times a year, and then eight times a year, and pretty soon there will be worldwide hurricanes twice a day, everywhere. Isn't extrapolation wonderful? Such is the state of Climate Science. |
