A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.

Earth is on track to face devastating consequences of climate change – extreme drought, food shortages and deadly flooding – unless there’s an “unprecedented” effort made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, a new United Nations report warns.
The planet’s surface has already warmed by 1 degree Celsius – or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit – and could see a catastrophic 1.5 C — 2.7 F — increase between 2030 and 2052, scientists say.
“This is concerning because we know there are so many more problems if we exceed 1.5 degrees C global warming, including more heat waves and hot summers, greater sea level rise, and, for many parts of the world, worse droughts and rainfall extremes,” Andrew King, a climate science academic at the University of Melbourne, said in a statement to CNN.
The stunning statistics were released Monday in a report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which warned that we must take “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society” in order to save our planet.
Scientists with the Nobel Prize-winning IPCC said in order to have even a 50-50 chance of staying under the 1.5 degree cap, the world must become “carbon neutral” by 2050. Any additional carbon dioxide emissions would require removing the harmful gas from the air.
If nothing is done, Earth can expect heat wave temperatures to rise by 3 degrees Celsius, more frequent or extreme droughts, an increase in deadly hurricanes and as much as 90 percent of coral reefs dying off — including the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, according to the report.
Countries in the southern hemisphere would see the most drastic effects.

Laughable climate change warning: 12 years until we’re doomed
Now the title is fixed. Al Gore said the earth would end after ten years of warming in ~2006.... and its 2018, everyone is fine.
Declare it a Democrat voter with 1,300,000 votes.
Grand Solar Minimum....
But, but, but- the Thread Posted earlier Today said it was in TEN (10) Years !?!?!?
Now I’m konfuzed. Do we average it out now, add them both together or ignore the whole damned thing ???
HEP ME, HEP ME.
Quick, buy snow covered land in Canada. Now!! Before it’s all gone!!!
These reports and the global warming hysteria are exclusively aimed at the United States. ‘We’re at fault. We’ve got to do something about reducing our carbon emissions!’
An inconvenient truth is that the US is the ONLY industrialized nation in the world that is actually reducing its carbon emissions each year, thanks to conversion from coal to natural gas power production, and we have been the ONLY nation to do so, for more than 5 years.
It’s the Europeans, China and southeast Asia that need to cut back on their economy so they can reduce their carbon emissions. Just throw it back in the face of these environmentally sensitive idiots.
the year I start collection SS
On a good note, if it’s warmer, my arthritic knees won’t hurt so much from the cold.
Lol! Yes, every cloud has a silver lining.
Hey, it must be election time!
Where’s Al Gore?
We are suppose to be all under water by now?
Was he lying?
I’ll put it on my calendar...
Doomed??? Should we all kill ourselves today to avoid the lines???
Find anything that moves, corn, beans or even lumber, you have a market.
I thought that Enron wore out the weather futures market, I was wrong.
I’m gonna go burn a large pile of old tires to hurry things up.
With any luck a lot of the snowflakes will melt.
I heard it was 10 years yesterday.
Did they add a couple years tovgive us a nice rounded year 2030 before we are all dead?
Sounds like a plan!
what's this now, the THIRD ten years??? sounds like the old Henny Youngman joke... feh

Quick liberals, commit suicide to save the planet.
Liberals produce 70% of the greenhouse gases.
