The charity warns that over 900 million children in the next generation will be affected by water shortages and 160 million more children will be at risk of catching malaria – one of the biggest killers of children under five – as it spreads to new parts of the world.

In a new report Save the Children claims that climate change is the biggest global health threat to children in the 21st century as droughts and floods force families to leave their homes and children to drop out of school. Starvation and economic collapse caused by natural disasters could even lead to more child trafficking and child labour.

The charity predicts that 175 million children a year – equivalent to almost three times the population of Great Britain – will suffer the consequences of natural disasters like

Oh brother, it's the end of the world (again...).

Of course, children have been dying by the thousands in third world countries for centuries but now it's because of "climate change".

Now it's up to us to destroy our economy to help flush more money down the climate change money pit.

Amateur hour!

Abortion in the U.S. alone kills 800,000 a year!

[Army Air Corps]

We’re gonna dieeeeeeee Ping.

The biggest threat to our children are Mohammadans, not climate change.

It’s time for Lord High Priest Algore to start tossing virgins into volcanoes, to appease Goddess Gaia.

Let’s just spray the mosquitoes with DDT and get it over with.

[icwhatudo]

Bring back DDT and rid these kids of malaria.

“160 million more children will be at risk of catching malaria – one of the biggest killers of children under five – “

Eco-fascists, of the same ilk as the warmists, caused the complete banning of DDT — the most effective measure known, against malaria. The deaths of over 50 million people are on their hands.

That sucking sound is freedom...circling the Marxist drain...

[SolidWood]

Nope. The biggest threat are liberal democrats who use abortion, indoctrination and debt-enslavement against our children and children’s children.

Riiiiiiight. Save the Children. Not exactly the best source for any information.

The debate actually is over…and the idea that human emissions of carbon dioxide will cause any significant degree of global warming has been categorically refuted and falsified. The empirically-measured change in the amount of energy radiating away from the Earth as a function of changes in sea surface temperature totally falsifies the IPCC climate models--and more importantly, completely falsifies the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis—total, categorical falsification, not simply invalidation of the alleged "proof" based on computer climate models:

• On the determination of climate feedbacks from ERBE data (peer-reviewed scientific paper);
• RESPONSE TO US SECRETARY OF ENERGY ON CLIMATE STATEMENT (explanation for non-scientists)
• Basic Greenhouse Equations "Totally Wrong"
• IPCC'S FATAL ERRORS
• Climate Change: Statement of Dr. William Happer before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee
• The Skeptics Handbook

Wow. What a HUGE steaming pile.

[jessduntno]

Too true...

[jessduntno]

Too true...

[steelyourfaith]

Good grief. Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[El Cid]

Sure ... "climate change" (which has been the natural course) could kill 250,000 chidrun...

Impoverishing people by this carbon-credit scam, and denying people the lowest cost methods to acquire energy, and diverting industries to burn food - rather than to use the carbon fuels God blessed us with - WILL cause the premature death of many people...

“...over 900 million children in the next generation will be affected by water shortages... “

And thats just from electing socialist retards into office.

children will be at risk of catching malaria

"In Sri Lanka, in 1948, there were 2.8 million malaria cases and 7,300 malaria deaths. With widespread DDT use, malaria cases fell to 17 and no deaths in 1963. "

So, we could more than compensate for the needless loss of life due to global warming, by removing the restrictions on DDT. Next issue?

[ConservativeMind]

This sounds more like “global warming” and not “climate change.”
