Beam me to Planet Gore !

The scare: In March 2009, Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber, director of a grandsounding pressure-group called the “Potsdam Institute for Climate ImpactResearch”, said that “global warming” of 7 Fahrenheit degrees would wipe out all but1 billion of Earth’s 7 billion human population.
Mr. Schellnhuber said, “In a very cynical way, it’s a triumph for science, because at last we have stabilized something – namely the estimate of the carrying capacity of the planet – fewer than 1 billion people.” The planet, of course, is somehow currently carrying seven times that number.
The previous month, Dr. James Hansen of NASA had predicted that “global warming” would raise sea level by 75 meters – equivalent to 246 feet.
The truth: In every respect, Mr. Schellnhuber’s outlandish prediction is as absurd as that of Dr. Hansen. It lacks any credible scientific foundation. We may dispose of Dr. Hansen’s prediction in the single, withering sentence of Mr. Justice Burton in the High Court of England and Wales in October 2007, condemning Al Gore’s suggestion that sea level would imminently rise by less than one-twelfth of Dr. Hansen’s flagrant prediction –

Oh crap! Who will fill the 400 million US jobs the stimulus bill is going to create?

The conclusion is a hoot.
Somebody has to bury them.
23 years ago, AIDS was going to wipe out most of humanity unless urgent action was taken (according to leftist nitwits).

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Perfect. What better way to reduce anthropogenic CO2 output?
Party like its 1999.
Do we get to pick which billion survive?
Can you imagine being the billion left? Taxes would be a b^&ch.
That's a lot of blame per person!
Could it be handled?
Bring it on. I'm at 5500 feet. I look forward to driving two hours south on 395 to go sailing on Mojave Bay.
