"The increasing numbers of environmental refugees as sea levels rise and storm surges increase will be in the tens of millions," panel co-chair Rosina Bierbaum, a University of Michigan ecologist, told reporters."

They've got to stop watching so many Al Gore movies.

They'd better act quickly if they want to take over Americas industries. The global cycle is starting to go into it's cooling off curve.

Nice try, UN Dudes. Nice "Cart", but where the hell are the horses? When you've calmed down and you're a little less hysterical, show me your assumptions, show me your data, and show me your projections. THEN, we'll talk about what to do next.... IF it all holds up.

Until then, please stand over there with the Swine Flu guys, the Y2K guys, the Ice Age guys, the Alar guys, the Bird Flu guys, the assorted Doomsday Cult members and Al ... and don't bother me.

Thank you.

Set a "ceiling" on temperatures? Heck, I want a "basement" on temperature! -63 over the weekend did not bring about visions of global freepin' warming. ;)

That is a great idea. Just think how nice it would be if we could command the ceiling temperature in July and August to be 72 degrees farenheit.

If only ... (sigh)

Hey UN do you really want to cut down on global pollution? CLOSE THE DOORS OF THE UN, meet over the internet.
This will save all those flights from all over the world, people needing two houses, limos, etc....

Or better yet do not even waste the band with - Just close the UN down -- think of all the hot air that will not be produced!!!!

The IPCC expressed its greatest confidence yet that global warming is being caused largely by the accumulation of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, mostly from man's burning of coal, oil and other fossil fuels. If nothing's done, it said, global temperatures could rise as much as 11 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Notice that the Sun has nothing to do with these rising temperatures.

"Tuesday's report said such research budgets worldwide are badly underfunded, and require a tripling or quadrupling, to $45 billion or $60 billion a year."

Hand over your wallet and we'll let you live.

Nuke plants, anyone? Of course not!

the experts panel urged governments to immediately ban all new coal-fired power plants except those designed for eventual retrofitting of sequestration technology

Hmmm....China? Eventual? This is BS.

Here's a proposal that the anit-globalist would like: put a carbon import tax on everything coming into the US, based on the additional transport carbon costs over the transport carbon used by shipping within the US. Shipping wine from France, say: Wine is favored water in a glass bottle - and think of the carbon used by getting it shipped from Bordeaux to Kansas City! Much less carbon in California wine! Carbon tax imported wines!

And Italian pasta and olive oil - good Lord the carbon burned just to have a fancy label! Eat Domestic pasta and splash domestic olive oil for the good of the planet!

And cheese - every bite of imported brie and sip of Finnish vodka, every sniff of cognac, every drop of Highland single malt scotches - think of the carbon footprints just getting those savory foreign delights!

Buy American to fight climate change!
