STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Climate change could push more than 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2030 by disrupting agriculture and fueling the spread of malaria and other diseases, the World Bank said in a report Sunday.

Released just weeks ahead of a U.N. climate summit in Paris, the report highlighted how the impact of global warming is borne unevenly, with the world's poor woefully unprepared to deal with climate shocks such as rising seas or severe droughts.

"Fueling the spread of malaria ..."?

The ban on DDT and other environmental wacko actions fueled the spread of malaria!

IDIOTS FROM SWEDEN.

IF the earth warms up agriculture in Sweden will boom. They will be able to grow crops like never before as the growing season expands.

An additional benefit will be a reduction in winter heating costs and energy usage.

Fools, dupes, and dopes.

Climate change could

Is "climate change" the cause of the predicted harm or is falling for the hoax the cause.

We all know there were no poor people in the world before the evil Westerners started driving SUV’s and using heat and air conditioning.

Global politics - the global socialists’ class warfare and race and religion demonization will be interesting to watch develop when they have the power to cut off those they hate.

It should be very obvious by now, to the whole world that, the only 'science' that's kept global warming alive, is scaremongering. Global warming has failed at every step of the research process, so, the only thing left to them is scare tactics. The predictions, aka: scare tactics, have failed miserably, with not a single prediction coming true. But, we're talking about left-wing 'science', so, they'll keep trying their lies until people start to believe them.

I think Climate Change is actually code for Socialism.


Yes. Indeed. Absolutely. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that, is there?

Only 100M? That’s way better than the 4 or 5 billion we presently have. What’s their downside?

Of course I didn’t read the article; that would break tradition.

How can you separate those who will be pushed into extreme poverty by climate from those pushed into extreme poverty by all the socialistic responses to climate change?

Do they already know how to tell the difference?

Of course not!

That’s because there is no difference. Whatever happens the socialism will exasperate it on the down side and restrain it on the up, helping the bad to be as bad as it can be and the good to be as mediocre as it can be made to be.

The “A” part of “AGW” is bunk ... climate change, either warmer or cooler, is always gonna happen, but the “S” part of Socialistic Globalized Nitwittery is inherent no matter if the nitwits are Mensheviks or Bolsheviks.

Not one climate related fact is presenting in this article, it is nothing but speculation based on zero facts.

If the globe were actually warming, which it is not, more credible sources claim that there would be a greater abundance of produce capable of being grown to feed the world's poor.
The World Bank, like the UN and every other supra-national organization is thoroughly corrupt and criminal.
The US should pull out of and de-fund these organizations.
Sadly, the US federal government is now also thoroughly corrupt and criminal, and the American people need to do what is required to right it.
