Reuters: Global Warming Impact Like 'Nuclear War'

London-based think tank predicts extreme Armageddon-like conditions from global warming.

By Jeff Poor Business & Media Institute 9/12/2007

Global warming might be a scary thing to some, but who would have thought on the level of a nuclear holocaust?

“Climate change could have global security implications on a par with nuclear war unless urgent action is taken, a report said on Wednesday,” Jeremy Lovell of Reuters wrote on September 12. Lovell didn’t include any expert skeptical about climate change or its near-nuclear impact on the globe.

The report is from the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a think tank that focuses on “better public policy in the fields of international relations and international security,” according to its Web site.

“The most recent international moves towards combating global warming represent a recognition ... that if the emission of greenhouse gases ... is allowed to continue unchecked, the effects will be catastrophic -- on the level of nuclear war,” the IISS report said according to Reuters.

Some people work to defend the nation against dirty bombs and totalitarian fanatics who saw people’s heads off.

Some people panic about the weather.

Its a division of labor. People do what they are best at doing, and somehow it all works out.

Hah! I’ll go ‘em one better. Global Warming has an impact just exactly like a 1000-ton asteroid impacting the earth! No, wait, it’s...it’s...it’s like the sun going supernova! Yeah, that’s it! If we don’t end capitalism now it’ll be like the entire galaxy dropping into an enormous intergalactic sinkhole and emerging near Satan’s left buttock!! It’s...it’s... (choking sound in background and a distant siren as the EMT’s roll up)

The intrepid explorer adrian ‘wrong way’ Flanaghan believes that nonsense too. Currently he and his sailboat are stuck in ice off of northern Russia. Following is excerpt from story which indicates ‘multi year ice, early winter’ This seems to be in contrast to the gloom and doom Gorecles.
..... AARI, the Russian Antarctic and Arctic Research Institute, organized an emergency meeting yesterday to review all the satellite images and consider other available information. They noted that in addition to the Southward movement of multi-year ice, new ice was already forming at the Western end of the inshore passage. This indicated that Winter was coming early.
