If globull warming don't kill ya, the mega world wars will ping!!!

[rhombus]

The Royal United Services Institute said a tenfold increase in research spending, comparable to the amount spent on the Apollo space programme, will be needed if the world is to avoid the worst effects of changing temperatures.

How much did the Brits spend on the Apollo space program? ;-)

UH, the world’s already at Jihad, climate change or not.

Great point.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

They let the cat out of the bag in the second paragraph:

It's always the same, the bottom line... Follow the money.

“The Royal United Services Institute said a tenfold increase in research spending...”

I imagine they’ll be first in line for a fat government grant.

[Always Right]

The Royal United Services Institute said a tenfold increase in research spending

Send more money....as if the hundreds of billions we spend on propaganda models is not enough already.

This shows you the rotten core at the center of climate change.

Mr Mabey, a former senior member of the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit who is now chief executive of the environmental group E3G And what does E3G do? From their webpage:

Our work is organised into four linked programme areas: Climate and Energy Security, Europe in the World, New Foreign Policy, and Systems for Change.

In other words, they make money by conning governments into wasting money on climate change initiatives.

[Vanders9]

But the Royal United Services wouldn’t get any of that money. Climate or energy research isn’t what they do.

I’m suspicious of the “tenfold increase in research spending” for other reasons. Where did they pluck that figure from? Research, by its very nature, is dealing with the unknown. If it is unknown, how can you quantify how much you have to do? Granted, the more money you plough into R&D the more likely you are to get a result, but there are no certainties.

[gathersnomoss]

Global Warming is AlGore’s UN Job's Program. Another Great Society liberal fleecing the ignorant and downtrodden, for their own good.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Busybodies.

Even if climate change was more benign than the worst-case scenario, the research would not be wasted as technological advances in nuclear power, biofuels, carbon capture and storage and renewables were urgently needed anyway, he added.

What if the new ice age guys are right? Then taking greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere will accelerate it and lead to mass starvation, riots and war.

[BGHater]

The Author goes out on a climb concerning Climate Change.

However, War has gone hand and hand with the natural resources.

We see China making a attempt in Africa to fuel its need for Natural resources for economic growth and their conquest of Tibet to keep a buffer from the West.

The future will bring some problems and we can easily see it in our backyard. Simply look at Atlanta. They are running out of water and imposing restrictions because they have not developed a plan to get water. Also, the South West and other parts of America depend of the Water from Canada. If that did dry up, you bet we could have some problems.

[penelopesire]

Bingo!!

[Just mythoughts]

So somebody is wanting a pay hike, imagine that, and all these hot and bothered people need to do is invest in algore.

[varyouga]

The human caused warming crowd puts so much power in our hands. In reality we are just here for a brief period of temperate climate in the Earth's long history. We are nothing compared to the forces at work.

The Earth's climate has changed drastically before we even set foot on this planet. It has ranged between an ice-ball and a super-hot green house waterworld without any human intervention.

Eventually it will go back to a climate unsuitable for humans and there is nothing we can do about it. Some humans will survive with technology but most will die off slowly as the planet loses the ability to sustain them. Wars will happen as resources decline. Disasters will get worse as the climate becomes less temperate.

Sadly, there is nothing we can do about it. The sun will eventually die. The milky way will eventually collide with another galaxy. Liberals just can't accept that humans are not all-powerful and there is something above us.

Yeah, we'll need at least that much to build huts. Or is it igloos?

What a bunch of idiots. It's like wanting to live at the base of a mountain that's on the horizon, but instead of simply moving to the base of the mountain, you design elaborate plans to have the mountain brought to you.

LOL. That makes two of us, my FRiend.
