A draft version of the [IPCC] report says that, within a few decades, hundreds of millions of people will face water shortages, while tens of millions will be flooded out of their homes. Tropical diseases like malaria will spread, pests like fire ants will thrive and by 2050, polar bears will mostly be found in zoos. By 2080, hundreds of millions of people could face starvation, according to the IPCC draft report.

And when this doesn't happen, even a fraction of this wild claim? (Why am I even asking this; being a liberal means never having to explain yourself).

Among the questions the panelists tried to answer is why it has taken so long for the story to reach critical mass.

Maybe the public are rubes living in places like Albany where the mean temperature has been dropping.

I remember when Clinton has all these weather folks in DC for a big sell the Global Warming stick. This is on-going for many years.

Can anyone calculate the carbon emissions generated by transporting these panelists to a Colorado ski resort and then pampering these do-nothings in an exclusive lodge. There must have been a lot of anguish in the room about the impending global warming cataclysm between the servings of frois de grois and rack of lamb.

Remember Teapot Dome? That scandal ran for forty years, maybe more. This is much bigger. This scandal will have repercussions for half a century only because our attention span as news consumers is much shorter these days.

The arctic has been completely ice-free in the past, which caused the polar bears to go extinct. Luckily their numbers recovered when the ice came back. </sarc>

Report Indicates Global Warming May Be Worse than We Think

Two new reports indicate that the global warming problem may be more widespread than heretofore thought. One report from National Geographic News asserts that temperatures on both Earth and Mars have been rising. Data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey mission in 2005 disclosed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps” near Mars’ south pole are shrinking.

The other report indicates that cosmic rays from exploded stars are decreasing. This is causing fewer clouds to form and allowing more sunlight to hit the planet, raising temperatures.

Former vice-president and internationally acclaimed climate expert, Al Gore, cited the reports as further evidence in support of drastic action aimed at cooling the planet. “It was bad enough when just the Earth was affected, but now it looks like the entire solar system may be in danger,” Gore proclaimed. “There is no time to lose. We must act before it is too late.”

Gore suggested that a “global climate czar” be appointed from among a list of persons nominated for both an Academy Award and Nobel Prize for work on climate change. “We need someone with the authority to brush aside the barriers to immediate action,” Gore said. “We can’t afford to allow a nostalgic reverence for archaic notions of property rights and individual freedom to be used to block the steps necessary to save the Earth. Everything and everyone must be strictly controlled if we want there to be a planet here for our grandchildren.”

What in the US consumption/destruction of the environment has changed so much in the last six years?

[A] Either something dramatically changed, [B] all the world's scientist were stupid before that time... [C] or this his a bunch of political horse pookie that's tied to GWB's election as President.

Those are the only logical choices.

If [A], what changed and by how much?

If [B], how come the same scientists were stupid then and brilliant now?

If [C], why no MSM humble pie or Algore lynching?

So let me get this straight. They had a panel discussion of idiot reporters chatting about their idiocy. Sounds like a circle jerk.

I'd say the "Global Warming" scam has peaked, except for the true believers in a glorious socialist future, and the usual useful idiots.
