Europe to suffer as the world warms up (huh?)

I don't see how the net effect of this so-called "global warming" is negative. Warmer weather means more land can be farmed, therefore more food. Do the UN bureaucrats and other alarmists want people to starve?

[Sundog]

the Brits could raise grapes for wine like they did a thousand years ago.

[technomage]

The truth is all these supposed climate experts are not experts at all, just high priced, elitists who are guessing.

[Dallas59]

What will the rich socialists of Greece, Spain and Italy do???

"Warmer weather means more land can be farmed"

Surely that is dependent on how warm it is already? In many areas of the world, warmer weather and (especially) less water would mean drastically less land could be farmed.

The big winners in Global Warming (if it even existed) would be Russia and Canada.

Do the UN bureaucrats and other alarmists want people to starve?

Yes. Then that creates more problems for UN bureaucrats to "solve". Otherwise what would we need them for.

[AliVeritas]

Geez... and in the Financial Times to boot.

[SIDENET]

These numbers are dwarfed by predicted deaths and economic chaos in the developing world.

Women and minorities to be hardest hit.

"Do the UN bureaucrats and other alarmists want people to starve?"

They could care less about the little people. They want control.

[ozzymandus]

What a steaming pile of bullsh*t.

There is no doubt that global warming exists as Chicago used to be under a mile-thick sheet of ice 10,000 years ago. The question is whether or not mankind and our activities are responsible it.

"the Brits could raise grapes for wine like they did a thousand years ago"

A thousand years ago? There are a number of vineyards in Southern England currently, Nyetimber probably being the best known wine producer.

A thermohaline circulation breakdown model would sugget that northern Europe would freeze. Crazy!

[SevenofNine]

That funny ROFL

So in about 50 years UK be new Napa valley AGAINNNN

[just a dude]

There's a method to the madness here. This kind of idiocy is not tongue-in-cheek.

Remember for a moment that the green movement is essentially socialism in disguise.

Then bare in mind that socialist policies have instituted 5-6 week paid vacations throughout France, Germany, etc.

Now put the two together. What better way to get traditional socialists to jump on the green wagon?

[hubbubhubbub]

True. hungry people are easier to rape and pillage by U.N. relief workers.
