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.

[BertWheeler]

Amateur hour!

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

[Army Air Corps]

We’re gonna dieeeeeeee Ping.

[fieldmarshaldj]

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

[Travis McGee]

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

[AUsome Joy]

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

[icwhatudo]

Bring back DDT and rid these kids of malaria.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

“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.

[jessduntno]

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.

[FourPeas]

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

[sourcery]

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

[Allegra]

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.

[Hodar]

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.”

[dead]

The coolest thing about all these statistics is that adult, white, male Americans never die, solidifying our status as demi-gods.

The rest of you will all perish in the various disasters we cause. Tough crap!

Worship us and maybe you'll live.

[kempo]

These same people will go along with aborting millions of unborn children, but never mind that.

[pray4liberty]

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

They are dying of malaria, which is caused by mosquitoes, which the liberal movie stars in America felt sorry for and helped outlaw chem-warfare on the little buggers. So now people are dying. Really, they want the unborn, the elderly, and the poor all dead!

[Big_Harry]

1). Follow South Africa’s lead and start a DDT eradication campaign, and

2). Stop Abortion. 815,000 children a week are being killed worldwide through that epidemic!

Problem Solved.

[Soothesayer]

They couldn’t give a damn about starving children. Dead children are good for mother Gaia. Rest assured they won’t lift a finger to provide emergency aid, food, and clean water. This is just more advertising for the useless green market.

[silverleaf]

Saddam Hussein and UN Sanctions killed double or triple that number of Iraqi children every year (based on liberal facts) and look at the grief President George Bush got for stopping that.

[Soothesayer]

Dead children of any age is something for a liberal to celebrate. They only pretend to care about this to promote the green agenda.

[Ben Mugged]

If cap and trade is passed, more than that will die of poverty and the resulting regulations on the food industry.

No offense, but I've seen corn fields suffering from drought and that picture ain't indicative of any drought.......that's a harvested field and the soil looks like it got rained on yesterday........but what do I know.

[Soothesayer]

The priestesses of Gaia already chop babies into tiny pieces as a service to the Earth Goddess.

[PeteB570]

I have news for all the Libs.

Every child alive today is going to die.

[Soothesayer]

They would rather protect the birds of prey rather than the lives of millions of children.

[maine-iac7]

Totally criminal -these people are desperate as they see more people waking up to the scam. They see their power and billions of dollars in projected income in jeopardy

This photo in Kenya - like a lot of AFrica - this is caused by WAR, not global warming -

Not to mention, right now, you can go across America and get the same photos - it's fall, growing season is over and the corn stalks are exactly like this - happens every year as the 'climate changes" sarq

[maine-iac7]

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

especially in the white house

[Brugmansian]

Climate change could kill 250,000 children

Nineveh also has a lot of cattle. So shouldn't I show concern for that great city?"

[SkyDancer]

"malaria – one of the biggest killers of children under five"

[Soothesayer]

Almost. It was certain species of birds that were dying after consuming DDT contaminated insects. Thanks to the tree hugging hippies, we now get millions of dead children instead of dead birds.

Every leftist moron responsible for this deserves to die a slow and agonizing death.

[ully2]

This must mean the eco-terrorist want you children to die.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Climate change "could" kill 250,000 children

Could? COULD!? Well that's just completely unacceptable you see!

We need to open more abortuaries to guarantee those children never come to be!

[GOPJ]

I'm waiting for the warming alarmists to tell us all cute kittens and puppies will die because of global warming... And our favorite teacher and first love...

I'm sooooooo tired of these people.

[Brett66]

Isn’t this a good thing? According to the overpopulation alarmists.

[pray4liberty]

Every leftist moron responsible for this deserves to die a slow and agonizing death.

They just might. "The fruit of abortion is nuclear war." -- Mother Teresa

Funny how liberals like to talk about karma for other people, but don't for one second consider what their karma for aborting millions of innocent people will be.

[capt. norm]

That kind of scary talk had to come from a "smoke-filled" meeting:

* If they'd had better weed, it would have been 1 million kids killed in their 'story'.

[Morgana]

That or freezing their ass off in the next ice age.........which I think has just started!

[mc5cents]

Shouldn't that headline read: Climate change BILL could kill 250,000 children?

[Soothesayer]

Oh yes, they will get what is coming to them.

However, it is a shame that innocent children always suffer the greatest penalty.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

How does it go? - NY Times headline - “The world will end tomorrow. Women and children are the most effected.”

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Stop stop - you’re killing me with this global warming nonsense!

[Manic_Episode]

Climate change could kill 250,000 children.

So could my butt.

The charity warns that over 900 million children in the next generation will be affected by water shortages

I stopped reading there. A warmer earth is ALWAYS a wetter earth because of greater evaporation of the oceans. If global warming is real, there will be no droughts.
