Now that the issue of man-made global warming has been exposed as so much bunk, you would think that the environmentalist radicals on the left would abandon their scare tactics, withdraw the pending “cap-and-trade” legislation, and apologize to the American people for having wasted so much time and money.
Don’t hold your breath. What they are doing is coming out with even more scare tactics!
From Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! comes an absolutely preposterous report of a study claiming that climate change will result in more civil wars in Africa!
The study, published by Stanford University’s Woods Institute for the Environment, claims that rising temperatures will lead to more civil wars in the next 20 years. David Lobell, an assistant professor at the Woods Institute, tells Goodman’s audience that the study purports to “provide the first quantitative evidence linking climate change and the risk of civil conflict”:
David Lobell, assistant professor at the Woods Institute at Stanford: “What we found was, surprisingly, is that there is not only a clear effect but a very strong effect in the incidents of civil war and the state of the climate system. Looking forward from that we can say for a degree increase, which is something we expect over the next few decades, you could expect a roughly 50 percent increase in the occurrence of civil war in Africa. Sort of a rough calculation is that about 400,000 people, additional, would die because of the climate change increase in civil war conflict.
The idea here is that since a large percentage of Africans are poor and depend largely on agriculture for their livelihoods, changes in temperatures caused by the West’s carbon emissions will have a devastating effect on their crops.

The crooks want to get a return on their investment.
Isn't Carbon good for crops?
If the ‘Fricans got rid of Islam, there’d be a lot less violins.
It’s not a matter of the myth refusing to die — it is being exhumed daily and given mouth-to-mouth resusitation.
And they have a great deal invested! Far to much for them to give up simply because their little game has been exposed for the fraud it is!
That 1 degree C won't happen till after 2100, if the interglacial holds.
Man and animals will do what they have done in the past. - Adapt or perish.
resusitation = resuscitation
Nice graph.
Alternate title could be Mann-Made Gobal Warming, the Myth and the Man revealed.
Hardly. It isn't about climate at all. It is about socialism and Power.

IMPORTANT QUESTION!:
Let’s say we come away from this summit with the beginnings of new legislation and taxes to prevent anthropenic global warming.”
Let’s say we put into place the apparatus to “combat” and/or “reverse” the global warming trends. Even more perplexing- let’s say the point is to end not “global warming” but to end “climate change.”
HOW DOES ONE GAUGE THE “SUCCESS” OF THESE PROGRAMS!?!
A lot of dead horses will be beaten before it ends.
Amy Goodman, I’m beggin’ ya...I know you have money...please, for the love of God and as a public service, spend some of it on cosmetics!!!
Yeah we lied.
Now put us in charge of your lifes. :D
P2,
Thanks for makin’ me laugh today! Hilarious comment!
Doc
Let’s say cap and trade passes.
How will we know if it is working?
Maybe (big maybe) we can get some indication of CO2 emissions. That is not what I am talking about.
What I want to know is, how do we measure whether or not it is having the desired effect on global climate?
We can not agree on global climate trends now. And we want to enact policies to alter global climate trends? How do we measure progress?
