VANCOUVER — Canadians may abhor the rising price of gasoline, but Thomas Stocker suggests the planet might be better off if it soared to "three to four" times its current level.
"This is scandalous, I know," said Stocker, adding sky-high gasoline could help slow the climate change which world leaders have declared one of the greatest challenges of our time.

The IPCC's last report in 2007 stated "warming of the climate system is unequivocal" — a "fact" that Stocker said has not been challenged despite the IPCC recent troubles.Not been challenged?
What alternative universe does this pointy-headed liberal live in?

"Thomas Stocker suggests the planet might be better off if it soared to "three to four" times its current level." Let's raise it ten times it current price. Forty dollars per gallon should be able to cure cancer! By raising it twenty times we should be able to pay for the invention of a drug to stop aging and thus achieve immortality. End Death! Increase the price of gas and the taxes on gasoline!

The planet would be better off, if we simply fired all the “climate experts”.

Why is it that the climate ‘experts’ never get anything right?

The sky is falling!
How many of us remember when gas was $1.25 a gallon? Since then we have tripled the price of gas. So, we have already saved the planet.
I have an idea! Let’s have a mass extermination of human beings. That would reduce the amount of goods and services required for the existing populations and the necessary energy costs. Give these Global Warmists each a nuclear button. Yep! That’s the ticket.

He and the IPCC say there is no question the climate is changing because of the huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases wafting into the atmosphere through the burning of oil, gas and other fossil fuels.Well, since there is no question I will go to a greater source that can lead me in the right direction.

How about we triple the price of a Bachelors of Science, A Masters, and a PHD in Sciences so we have a chance to save humanity from these tools?

Sure. Why not. That should bankrupt every economy in the world.
I know I could pay 4 times what I do now for fuel. I couldnt afford to eat or make my house payment, but WTF?
These are the intelligentsia we have teaching out College aged kids.

He only has to wait. As “developing” countries increase manufacturing and consume more oil, gas prices will eventually triple.
