"climate change is soon likely to exceed anything the planet has seen "in the last million years"

Did they forget that the worlds oceans rose from 300-500 feet only 15,000 years ago.

Don't you have a 'global warming' ping list?

[Mulder]

Melting Ice 'Will Swamp Capitals'

And this is a bad thing?

[MarkeyD]

Or course they fail to recognize that with the Gulf Stream 'polluted' with cold water, there will no longer be any warm water to keep western Europe warm. All that ice that melts in Greenland and Antartica will be deposited in western Europe as snow. That, or western Europe will become one big ice skating rink.

Golly! We'd better give Hillary dictatorial powers immediately. For the children.

"putting the world well on the way to doomsday".

Well, I'll be!

All this time I thought is would be the "mindful" actions of SUV's that would bring about this demise.

I just don't know what to think anymore.

[mhking]

Even Hollywood is getting into the act....

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[keithtoo]

Give us a date when this will happen.

Then when it doesn't happen we will shoot you.

[Faraday]

...the world well on the way to doomsday...

Time to stock up on 20 year-old single malt Scotch. Could these people be more stupid?

[facedown]

...eventually raising sea levels world wide by up to 30 feet...

Cool!!! Then I can fish for flounder off my back porch!

[Drammach]

I laugh with derisive jocularity, while constructing my tin foil helmet.

We are still recovering from the "little ice age" of the dark ages.
We have not yet reached the global temperatures extant at the time Eric the Red discovered Newfoundland's shores.

Let me say that again, (paraphrased) for effect.
It's still colder globally, than it was 1,000 years ago.

[Prodigal Son]

We're doomed.

[GreenHornet]

I guess I'd better move my car.

[Leroy S. Mort]

London, New York, Miami, Bombay, Calcutta, Sydney, Shanghai, Lagos and Tokyo would be among those largely submerged by such a rise.

I'll miss Sydney and Tokyo.....

[festus]

Good thing I bought that "soon-to-be" beachfront land in Arizona.......

[Gritty]

Check out this speech Remarks to the Commonwealth Club Michael Crichton (Theme: Environmentalism is really Urban Atheism)

[Timesink]

It concludes that the protocol must urgently be brought into force, but only as a first step, insisting that "catastrophic" climate change "can now only be prevented if climate protection targets are set at substantially higher levels than those agreed internationally until now".

I'll start to do my part just as soon as The Independent shuts down its printing presses, which waste immense amounts of energy and tons of newsprint every single day to put out a paper that could just as easily be read online.

"Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year"

This must please Planned Parenthood.

[Kay Ludlow]

I want to know exactly how global warming is already killing 150,000 a year. How do they distinguish gobal warming deaths from other deaths?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Did they forget that the worlds oceans rose from 300-500 feet only 15,000 years ago.

History really isn't their strong suit.

[JimSEA]

Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year

I assume that this statistic comes comes from inpartial and reliable sources? Did you know that 200,000 people annually die from strokes brought on by reading articles such as this one. Bet you my sources are as good as the global warming statistics.
