Climate, extreme weather top concerns at global weather congress
Swiss Info ^ | 5/25/14 | John Heilprin

Weather experts from around the world began convening in Geneva on Monday for a congress where Swiss Interior Minister Alain Berset emphasized the need to reduce the impact of natural disasters and climate change.

Organizers of the congress, held by the World Meteorological Organization once every four years, say it will focus on how to strengthen weather and climate services to meet the needs of a growing global population and to cope with climate variability and change, extreme weather and related shocks on all socio-economic sectors.

"To ensure sustainable development, the global community needs reliable information on the state of the climate and the changes underway at this level,” Berset said on behalf of Switzerland, host to the organization’s headquarters. “This is where WMO plays a key role, now and in the future.”

“As the global thermostat continues to rise, meteorological services are more essential than ever,” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. He urged attendees to prepare compelling videos about the dangers of an overheated planet ahead of the Paris conference “so that all understand the stakes involved.”

I'm wondering how they all got there. Walked perhaps?

We are having “global warming.” Just as a prayerful blessing is like putting hot coals upon an evil man’s head, the increased presence of the Holy Spirit is warming things up in this world. Is this man made? In many ways yes.

It’s going to get hot enough around here for the “weeds to be burned.”

How can any Bible believer not believe in global warming?

Gee - the headline makes it almost seem like a GLOBAL WEATHER CONGRESS usually concerns itself with the rules of cricket. (I have heard there are rules - but haven’t figured any of them out! LOL).

:: As the global thermostat continues to rise ::

They just can’t help themselves, can they?

My tagline needs to be made into bumper-stickers and T-shirts.

I refer to it as Brokebutt Mountain. And they’re more concerned about clinmate change as the Muslim infiltrator president fools them into importing 50K Syrian terrosists who ARE going to begin the headlopping process over here and will detonate a nuke at some point within the next 2 years...

I sure believe it, if chapter 5 of Zechariah refers to what I think it does, mankind will make the world hot very fast, and poisonous afterwards, but God has a fix for it...

Where in the Bible can I find anything about global warming? I must have missed that.

U.S. Getting nuked by terrorists opens up for a hit by nations like Russia following, does anyone else think that Europe is vulnerable to attack on the level of 9/11, or worse?

The cities on Earth burn to ashes, even the stones, according to Zechariah, but the details of fire flying in a lead basket carried by flying scrolls sounds a lot more like nuclear weapons via ICBMs, so nuclear war seems to be prophesied, although nuclear war around the world is not the warming that politicians are telling us about.

F’ing idiots on parade. “We must fight the War on Weather!”

I really can't express my contempt for these “Weather Alarmists.”

It's not like we don't have real battles to fight. But leave it to a bunch of Socialist/Commie?progressives to fundamentally “F” up everything in their reach that is functioning fine, while ignoring the substance of real problems.

“Where in the Bible can I find anything about global warming? I must have missed that.

Matthew 13:40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

Matthew 3:11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Matthew 3:12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

John 15:6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Hebrews 6:8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Matthew 3:10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

1 Corinthians 3:13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

2 Peter 3:7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

Weather and climate services? Coping with climate variability and change, extreme weather and related shocks on all socio-economic sectors? Looks like the UN is offering their consultation services for a fee. Notice the word warming never comes out of these peoples lips anymore

These are thermometers by airports, asphalt highways and in the inner cities. These are placed often for convenience and the recommendations to avoid heat sources are discounted; ones not close to heat sources are often discounted as well. The cities are getting hotter as more asphalt is laid and plants are removed.

Temperatures from satellites is discounted because it shows the earth cooling slightly in the last decade.

Why do they use faulty sources then? Answer: Climate Hysteria pays through research funding for more Climate Hysteria.

Note also how prior predictions failed (more hurricanes to hit the US, islands disappear, rain forests disappear, no ice at the poles, no snow in England). These are simply discounted.

Therefore IMHO: Climate Science is NOT SCIENCE ANYMORE.
