When did they change to forecast to 3 degrees in the next 43 years? I thought it was 1 degree over the next 100 years. Did the space jet stream move?

There is another post today revealing that the Sun is currently engaged in a 1,000 year sunspot cycle high.

The UN, and their attendant lackeys in the scientific community, have determined beyond all doubt that that 3.6 degree jump will indeed occur, because they've determined that the Gods are most angry at us (witness that hot Sun!), specifically at people in wealthy, democratic nations, and most specifically white Christian males.

In order to mollify these angry Gods, whom we, the poor peon masses (who pay sucker taxes to our fearless leaders) have absolutely no knowledge of, and must consequently bear the brunt of said mollification, tribute must be exacted by their (self-appointed) representatives, so they (and fate perchance, the rest of us) might survive, not merely well, but very well. (That's them, not us!)

Yes, wealth must redistributed, and since Africa, defenseless as it is, and Asia (read:China) being vulnerable, are areas with proven track records of indigenous popular support of governmentally derived solutions to intractable problems created by said indigenous popular support, it is only right and proper that these besieged areas be the initial recipients of said approved transfers.

However, with the soon-to-be established caliphates in Europe on the horizon, special consideration will be given to them, also.

As for areas inhabited primarily by the cretin white Christian males, programs will be rapidly introduced to assure that they will replace Darfur's refugees and Bangladesh's teeming millions at the bottom of the economic, spiritual and political totem pole.

It is, after all, only just. And only an organization as diverse and historically peace-loving as the UN can make such a determination of such things.

So there! Get with the program!

The whole Global Warming thing is to spread socialism... either Eurosocialism, or to weaken us to the point where Soviet style Communism can take us over without a shot fired. It also is the reason that they (The socialists) say that 9/11 was either caused by the US, allowed to happen by the US, or was deserved by the US. It allows them to discredit the entire WOT.

And forcing countries, which can ill afford it, to make massive changes that won’t make a hill of beans worth of difference in the warming, will only make it worse for their citizens, who they MIGHT have been able to help, if they’d had the available funds.

LOL!

Poetic. This sounds like something from the UN. I get it now. Thanks.

PS - Periods (.) are your friend. It’s like a comma but with the little tail. It separates complete thoughts and punctuates succinct points. :o)

Yes, I'm quite familiar with periods, and most are friendly!

But this is a UN-type regurgitation, and this is how those pontificating pop-offs write (and talk!).

I mean, when listening to the mellifluous beauty of a high-ranking appointed official speaking, why use pedestrian and mundane periods, when the masterful comma will at once give us more bang for the buck and entertain us (the general effluvium of society, meaning us) to boot?!?

Look! It’s the population bomb all over again! We are going to see mass starvation just like we saw in the 1980s, uh... oops.

Unlikely.

What’s more likely, is that they will run short of food because someone is burning their food - “green” energy.

Go ahead, burn that corn ethanol. By doing so, some poor Mexican family will not be able to afford corn tortillas.

Quote: “One of these days the next Ice Age will begin, and when it does, shorter growing seasons will cause crop yields to diminish, leading to the eventual starvation of millions of people.

Shouldn’t we be looking for ways to warm the planet when the next Ice Age comes?”

I think the Liberals are salivating looking forward to this day. All of the oil on the planet will have been used up and Al Gore’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great Grandson will be screaming about how if only we hadn’t all driven gas-guzzling SUVs, there would be plenty of oil left to add green-house gased to the atmosphere to warm and save the world. ;)

of course this is all Bush’s fault. had we a democrat in the white house, everything would be honky dory.

I heard on NPR's market place today driving home a person claiming that the Bush had "failed" to take radical enough measures against global warming and that the science is settled enough that we need drastic measures NOW.

Wasn't it the darling of the left (Bill Clinton) who failed to get KYOTO ratified in the Senate and never did anything about GW beyond lip service?

I don't normally listen to NPR, I can't stand the smug liberalness of their reporters.

KYOTO is so onerous to the US that even Bill Clinton refused to sign it - even after much lobbying by our good friend, Igor.
