Damn!
Guess I might as well stop taking those supplements.
It's not fair to ask the right questions, sir.
LOL!
HA!
200-600 million could go hungry
It's that way now!......Who are they trying to scam?........
The left has the answer already:
Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
A movement offering humanitarian alternative to human disasters.

The key question is, "Will women and minorities be adversely affected?"
I watched a bit of a History Channel show on the Black Plague the other day.
The show talked about how when people were dying (presumably of Yersinia Pestis infection) people interpreted this as a curse from God and that they must have done something to deserve this punishment.
And it has always been thus. Something happens and populations blame God or "the gods" or whatever the current religious construct is.
The Global Warming scare is this medieval thinking dressed up with the buzzwords of modern "Science".
It's basically we have offended "Gaia" (or whomever) and now Gaia (or fill in the blanks) is punishing us and we must make penances and offer up sacrifices to "Gaia" to prevent this evil he/she/it is visiting upon us.
In other words this is medieval or prehistoric behavior dressed up to look like modern "Science".
Well, here we go again. Just to be on the safe side, I am taking precautions against global warming. My plans involve adjusting the thermostat on the AC to a lower level if it gets hot. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
"Why do they care if billions of people die?"
They don't, but if they can scare enough people badly enough, people will give up even more of their freedom to the elites in the hope of being saved. I think, however, that the increasing shrillness and hysteria surrounding the global warming debate will eventually backfire on the libs. Thankfully for our side, overplaying their hand to the point of looking ridiculous is what socialists do best.
Well, if you look carefully, there is no attempt at establishing a baseline figures. Throughout my lifetime, tens (hundreds?) of millions have died due to cultural inertness, corruption, political indifference (they are "free" and independent contries), due to disease, war, famine and cultural "helplessness".
Either this climate if forced (by outsiders) to change, eschewing "political correctness", or limit these hysterical reports to how many more will die due to low cultural expectations, and the invariable high rate of meeting those low expectations...
Sam Champion is "passionate" about global warming.
There's a shock, a homosexual weather man reading off a teleprompter takes the liberal extremist non-scientific view of global warming.
Now, THAT was funny!!!
Sam Champion is a buffoon. He still can't give me an accurate forecast ten days from now. Until he can, he needs to STFU. He's a socialist.
So what's the problem then? I guess the biggest threat is that this global warming horseshit will get so deep we can't get from one place to another.
A simplistic need to assign blame, perhaps?
YIKES!
You people scoff at the Gospel of Global Warming. It killed all the Martians didn't it????
It's basically we have offended "Gaia" (or whomever) and now Gaia (or fill in the blanks) is punishing us and we must make penances and offer up sacrifices to "Gaia" to prevent this evil he/she/it is visiting upon us.

Ain't that the truth. Global warming is nothing more than raw pagan supersition, the kind our ancestors used to live by.
SUVs cause pollution. Pollution angers the gods. Logically, the scientiests deduce, the gods will be seeking retribution. We have only one chance to win back the favor of the gods. Sacrifice.
Perhaps, if we sarcifice enough horsepower to atone for our fossil fuel consuming lifestyle sins, the gods can be appeased.
Umbaga!!!
They make it sound like losing a billion muslimes is a bad thing.
