[history]
In the poker game of global warming alarmism, ABC saw NBC's "end of the world," and raised them billions of dead humans.
Check out the screencap from this morning's Good Morning America. Not to scare you or anything - but billions might die!
Introducing ABC weatherman Sam Champion, host Robin Roberts noted "everyone knows how passionate you are about global warming."
I'll say!
Champion was reporting on an upcoming global warming conference in Paris, and displayed the graphic shown here with various dire predictions. The chart speaks of water "scarcity," and people going hungry. Where ABC got its notion that billions might die Champion never told us. Hat tip to NB reader Marc Ben-Canaan

It was hotter during the Medieval Warm period, and the population of Europe tripled. TRIPLED.

Why do they care if billions of people die? They wanted those billions to be snuffed out before they were born, anyway.

The real humor begins when all these whack jobs start telling the rest of us
what we all need to do to prevent the catastrophe.
I'll get the popcorn...

Looks like the libs are putting on a full court press with the global warming issue. Better hold on to our seats.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Man, they are pulling out all the stops on this BS. The media coordination is fascinating.
The Enviros want to completely slam the door on any chance of debate on this subject permanently.

So Champion is claiming that, at minimum, two billion people will die from "global warming."
How will these people die exactly?
From gradual flooding of coastlines? From crop failures?
Assuming that the "global warming" myth is a fact for the sake of argument - how exactly are these two billion people (one-third of the Earth's population) expected to die?

Will Billions Die From Global Warming?No, eleventy-zillion people will die from Global Warming.
Global Warming is is much worse than direct exposure to a nuclear weapon... but it is still less dangerous than exposure to second-hand smoke!

I guess they don't anticipate someone in the next 75 years figuring out how to turn that stuff that covers 2/3 of the planet into something one can drink

Jeez, I just don't know what to say. Right in the middle of a cold snap, too. I'm beginning to think that is the very reason for this onslaught of global warming propoganda in the middle of winter. It's cold and people don't care so the MSM just drills it harder to get it through their thick skulls that they should vote Democrat or billions will die a horrible death.
Pathetic.

Exactly and then the MIA (mini-ice-age) came about and millions died from starvation and disease.

How will there be a water shortage when all we hear about are melting glaciers and polar ice caps?
How will there be food shortages when plants thrive on CO2 and all we hear about are excessive CO2 emissions?
These people really need to get their stories straight.
