CANBERRA (Reuters) - Rising world temperatures could cause a significant increase in disease across Asia and Pacific Island nations, leading to conflict and leaving hundreds of millions of people displaced, a new report said on Thursday.

Global warming by the year 2100 could also lead to more droughts, floods and typhoons, and increase the incidence of malaria, dengue fever and cholera, the report into the health impact of rising temperatures found.

You ever notice how the date for the 'disasters' seemed to be pushed up?

Especially everytime the previous 'predictions' never come true!

By the year 2100 we could be in an ice age. These clowns dont know any more about it than I do./ Tell you what, if I am around in 2100 and its all that hot I will apologise for calling them clowns.

Isn't there anyway to turn the sun down? Perhaps a scaled down version of nuclear winter?

"When it gets hot people try to kill each other...It's that crisis atmosphere, you know? People dress different, feel different, they sweat more, wake up cranky and never recover. Everything's just a little askew. Pretty soon, people think the old rules are not in effect. Start to break them, figure nobody'll care 'cause it's emergency time. Time out."

I was a kid in the seventies. I remember hearing...'that by the year 2000.....the ice shelves were gonna melt, we would have no more gas, it would be 135 out on a normal summer day, there would be a nuclear war (as predicted by Nostrodamus), and that everyone would be buying AMWAY (instead of going to Safeway)'. It's all a bunch of crap. Every last word of it. Weight loss ads have more integrity! No one knows anything. They are all just fighting over political leverage, money, and ways to get political leverage and money. I stopped paying attention when I woke up January 1st, 2000.
