[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

Billions will die of thirst? Crap like this is being reported more and more these days as REAL news. It's just absolutely insane. Whatever...I don't even care anymore. I'm just going to live my life and try to forget about all this other crap. The news media and all politicians can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

Dear ABC: Substantiate your claim with hard facts - not BS fuzzy crapola.
Sheesh.

Why does anyone even bother to watch those boring, left-wing "shows" like Good Morning America, The CBS Morning Show, and The Today Show in the first place? It's all mindless drivel.
It was 12 degrees below zero at dawn this morning here in
eastern Maine. I'd love to see some "global warming" around here.....Al Gore is full of crap.

It was hotter during the Medieval Warm period, and the population of Europe tripled. TRIPLED. Just received my copy from Amazon.

The Enviros want to completely slam the door on any chance of debate on this subject permanently. True, but you can only run around yelling, "The sky is falling" for so long. At some point, I need to see a chunk of sky flatten my neighbors' dog before I start carrying kevlar umbrella.
This kind of hysteria has a shelf life.

It was hotter during the Medieval Warm periodThis is not actually true, according to NOAA: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/medieval.html.
The problem today is that populations in much of the developing world are extremely high (on the very edge of sustainability or beyond), and the vulnerability of these populations to changes in climate (whether or not human-caused) or to depletion of natural resources (such as paleowater) is high. European or North American populations are pretty safe, the problem is in places like India or subsaharan Africa -- but conditions are right for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to ride, in much of the world.

I changed my tag line to one of my regular replies on global warming threads for several months.
Global warming = A lie told often enough, is eventually accepted as the truth.

Sam Champion might do well to shift his focus to the global AIDS problem, which threatens him more directly and is actually real.

Back in the early 70's we didn't die from the "coming ice age", so I believe we'll survive this hog wash, too.

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?
You forgot to mention widespread precipitation events and widespread droughts. I'm series, that's what was said, you just can't make this stuff up.
