Climate crowd has dark view of future; scientists describe phenomena linked to global warming

The CIA 2015 report predicted that there would be wars in the 21st century over water rights.

[thoughtomator]

There were wars in the 20th century over water rights.

Me, I find it amazing that we'll have nothing to talk about for the rest of the century other than the weather.

[Always Right]

Boulder climate researcher Michael Glantz predicts that future historians will look back on the 21st century as the Climate Century.

This can't be true. Globull warmers are telling us we are all gonna die in 100 years. How can there even be future historians?

"...Glantz, a social scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research."

How does a guy get to be a social scientist, and work for the federal government!?? Since he's presenting these findings, he's probably a GS-12 or GS-14 ... unbelievable ...

[hiredhand]

Global warming morons. They can read ALL about global warming in the Bible at -

Revelation 16:8 - The fourth one poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to burn people with fire.

Now THAT'S global warming!

... Glantz, a social scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Figures.

"There are entire villages in coastal Alaska that are having to be moved because of the erosion," Serreze said Sunday.

Name one ...

[keta]

What's unbelievable?

[Malleus Dei]

Global warming is a total crock, junk science at its worst. See the work of Sun and Baliunas at Harvard, or look up "Medieval Warm Period" (it really was provably warmer back then, yet they had no industry to speak of).

[Malleus Dei]

That's SOON and Baliunas. Middle age is so much fun...

[headsonpikes]

Chicken Little now has a government job, I see.

[cogitator]

Name one ...

Shishmaref.

"The CIA 2015 report predicted that there would be wars in the 21st century over water rights."

If not water, they would have to find something else....

Three words: Propaganda. Hegel. HAARP.

'....You now face a new world, a world of change.
The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres, and missiles marks
a beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind.
In the five or more billions of years the scientists tell us it has taken to
form the earth, in the three or more billion years of development of the
human race, there has never been a more abrupt or staggering evolution.

We deal now, not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable
distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe.
We are reaching out for a new and boundless frontier.
***We speak in strange terms of harnessing the cosmic energy, ****of making
winds and tides work for us, of creating unheard of synthetic materials to
supplement or even replace our old standard basics, ***to purify sea water
for our drink, of mining ocean floors for new fields of wealth and food,
of disease preventatives to expand life into the hundred of years,
***of controlling the weather for a more equitable distribution of heat and cold,
of rain and shine, of spaceships to the moon, of the primary target in war,
no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include
his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race
and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy, of such dreams
and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all times.

And through all this welter of change and development your mission
remains fixed, determined, inviolable.
It is to win our wars....."

"Global warming morons. They can read ALL about global warming in the Bible at - "

I would take it a step or two beyond that:


Mic 4:3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Zec 14:17 And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

(may not be the Jerusalem you are probably thinking of)

[pierrem15]

That's because they're the "reality based" community :-)

[hiredhand]

Uh...help me out here.. :-) Which Jerusalem? "New Jerusalem"?

[Centurion2000]

These guys would have curled up and died in the Jurassic Period then. It was a LOT warmer than now

[palmer]

session titled "Geoscientific Aspects of Human and Ecosystem Vulnerability."

It has scientific in the title so it must be scientific (women and minorities hit hardest).

Climate Crowd Has a Dark View of the Future

And a bear defecates al fresco. They've always had a dark view -- of course, it used to be a new ice age they were fretting about.

[expatpat]

Erosion has nothing to do with global warming -- it's just the sea doing its primordial thing, eroding here, depositing beaches there.....There is more erosion during Ice Ages than during warming periods.
