On the Net:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: http://www.ipcc.ch/
The summary of the report: http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM6avr07.pdf
The smell of desperation.
What a bunch of dumb bastards.
Since when has the UN been expert on anything?
This is so OrsonWellian!
But look at the bright side. If millions of poor people die, think what it will do for the average standard of living! /sarc
There’s enough bravo serria in this report to forstall any drought.
i wanna bumper sticker that sez:
stop global stupidity.
That is the recurring theme of every liberal/socialist cause.
I guess they haven't been able to replace or update some of their aging "newspeak" spinmeisters.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Orwellian.
Snow flurries in North Alabama tonight. Thank the Lord for global warming or we’d be in 5 foot drifts. /s
Personally I think we should be allowed to know exactly what species are included in that one third. If it includes house flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, walruses, rhinos, rinos, manatees, liberals, termites, carpenter ants, fanatics, squirrels and the French... we should speed the process up a bit.
2000 scientists...and not one dissent ? not possible, except.....
2000 scientists all having the same premise, come to the same conclusion, based on data that allows for no other conclusion.
Brilliant !
It’s time to tell the liberals that the thing to do is outlaw global warming, declare victory and go home.
Orwellian. LOL, no I'm speaking of Orson Welles not George Orwell, as in War of the Worlds, October 1938... where people packed the roads, hid in cellars, loaded guns, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually belonged in a radio play
New York Tribune's Dorothy Thompson foresaw that the broadcast revealed the way politicians could use the power of mass communications to create theatrical illusions, to manipulate the public.
"All unwittingly, Mr. Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater of the Air have made one of the most fascinating and important demonstrations of all time," she wrote. "They have proved that a few effective voices, accompanied by sound effects, can convince masses of people of a totally unreasonable, completely fantastic proposition as to create a nation-wide panic.
If BS was a viable energy source we could process Liberal Politicians faster and cheaper than growing and processing Corn for Ethanol.
Well...they are pretty good at rape, pedophilia and kickbacks. That oil for food thing WAS expertly done.
