OH NOOOO.
You’re going GW too?
Looking forward it. ;-)
Best advice I've ever seen from the scientific community - funny though, my Great Grandmother use to say the same things about 35 years ago before this so-called 'Global Warming". I believe she use to call it "Common Sense".
Wasn't it just 30 years ago Chicken Little told us all the fossil fuels will be gone and so would most of the other resources on earth would be gone too. Also the air would be so bad that we would have to wear oxygen masks and the worlds population would be so many that everyday 500 million would die of starvation. Also isn't a glacier supposed to be rolling over the corner of Madison and 5th because we are in new ice age.
Well seems I survived all the doom and gloom of last century so a little global warming this century is a walk in the park.
Yvo de Boer - Al Gore wannabe.
No need to fear, people. This statement does not contain the catastrophic words, "Women and children will be hit the hardest".
I’m sure, Congressman, that you’re familiar with Twain’s essay into science:
“In the space of one hundred and seventy six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over a mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oölitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi was upwards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-pole. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long, and Cairo [Illinois] and New Orleans will have joined their streets together and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
And so it goes, even to this day.
IMHO, The Prophet Algore and his minions have conjectured a lot of crap out of a very trifling investment of fact.

Janis Joplin remake, I presume?
millions of poor people will suffer from hunger
This claim is made for people in this country today. This taken from another website:
One of the most disturbing and extraordinary aspects of life in this very wealthy country is the persistence of hunger. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that in 2005:
35.1 million people lived in households considered to be food insecure.
Guess what? We must be totally involved in global warming today. It doesn’t feel bad at all.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
— H. L. Mencken
Then it holds as much authority as an Iraqi resolution.
“Martin Parry, who conducted the tough closed-door negotiations, said that with 29,000 sets of data from every continent include Antarctica, the report firmly and finally established “a man-made climate signal coming through on plants, water and ice.” “
Ok. Let’s say it is true. If that is the case, then why should China, who has 5 times as many people as us continue to throw CO2 into the atmosphere while we pay taxes to get to do the same thing?
Let’s change it. Let’s build a few dozen nuke plants, clean coal plants and retool our oil refineries so they are bigger and more efficient. Companies can use their “winfall profits” to do research and development. We don’t need any givernment programs. We need technology which we already have.
Don’t hear the MSM talking about this.
As the world gets hotter by degrees, millions of poor people will suffer.....We all know that this scenario is entirely preventable, of course, by US taxpayers giving up their selfish consumption of the majority of the world's limited resources and ponying-up to fund every environmental research initiative and start-up company that is poised to address the global-climate change issues, especially those that will offer "educational" programs, condoms and "responsible" population control programs at no cost to second and third-world countries. And, by the president agreeing to sign the Kyoto treaty. Also, people must be willing to give up their gas-guzzling cars and SUV's and ride bicycles or walk (politicians and environmentalists will be exempted, of course, because they have important meetings to attend). Then we can all be one happy, environmentally correct family! "We are the world..."
LOL! I like the way you think!
“Governor Mark Sanford is right. Unfortunately, some in the Republican Party are embracing the radical environmental ideas of the liberal left. As governor, I found that thoughtful environmentalism need not be anti-growth and anti-jobs. But Kyoto-style sweeping mandates, imposed unilaterally in the United States, would kill jobs, depress growth and shift manufacturing to the dirtiest developing nations.
“Republicans should never abandon pro-growth conservative principles in an effort to embrace the ideas of Al Gore. Instead of sweeping mandates, we must use America’s power of innovation to develop alternative sources of energy and new technologies that use energy more efficiently.”

Makes sense. Who is he referring to? Which of our GOP brethren have gone over to Algore's side?
WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
What have we raised? 1 degree in the last 150 years.
All regions of the world will change, with the risk that nearly a third of the Earth's species will vanish if global temperatures rise just 3.6 degrees above the average temperature in the 1980s-90s
How many species died out the last time we had an even warmer climate, during the Medieval Warm Period (ad 800-1300).
if global temperatures rise just 3.6 degrees
Its taken 150 years to raise 1 degree. How long will it take to raise 3.6 degrees.
The Medieval Warm Period or Medieval Climate Optimum was from approx. 800ad -1300ad. Then came this thing called The Little Ice Age, from approx. 1300-1850.
Imagine after warming for about 500 years, it then cools off for about 500 years.
Notice the coincidence of the ending of the Medieval Climate Optimum and the beginning of the Little Ice Age. And then the ending of the Little Ice Age, and the beginning of our current warming.
The first few degrees increase in global temperature will actually raise global food supply, but then it will plummet, according to the report.
All regions of the world will change, with the risk that nearly a third of the Earth's species will vanish if global temperatures rise just 3.6 degrees above the average temperature in the 1980s-90s, the new climate report says.
So which is it, 3.6 warmer destroys 1/3 of all species, or a few degrees warmer will raise global food supplies?
Liberals and the law of unintended consequences strike again.
The banning of DDT is probably the one of the most glaring examples but..
it's what they do..
it's all they do..
and they won't stop...
EVER!
