I think we need to go with the message that in fact, it’s too late....that the opportunity to reduce emissions has passed.
The Copenhagen conference is in December. Look for an increase in the number of stories on climate change and the end is near.
Anyone I have met from Uxbridge can pretty much be ignored. They all seem to be rabid elitist socialists.
Ummm, define many
"It looks like I'm a radical because the mainstream media aren't reflecting the reality of our situation," Brown says.
Yeah, like THAT'S believable.
Sad day when Brown jumps on a bandwagon like this. Hasnt convinced me of a thing here.
He was originally a farmer in NJ. Must be the gravitational pull of denseness generated by those in Uxbridge that led him to settle there.
It’s 20 degrees below normal today and that’s the forecast for the next several days.
I’m already ready for it to get a little warmer.
At least a couple.
Yes, lots of “denseness” in Uxbridge. It may have been that, or the scent of retired hippies.
Yes, an operation of military precision is needed to drop our quality of life back to 1880 levels.
But I'm betting Lester Brown is planning on keeping his car, his air conditioning, his computer, and his television. The serfs can do without.
The term 'climate change' is extremely accurate shorthand. It is in fact a tacit admission by the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) lobby that the climate has stopped warming.
After all, if the public are to be convinced to shell out for carbon credits and carbon-taxes, then the current series of colder summers and colder winters is not helping the AGW cause.
If the AGW lobby manage to rename their political bogeyman from 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' to 'Climate Change' then they will have successfully foisted a non-disprovable onto us. Any fact 'proves' Climate Change because there is no fact, no test that disproves it.
"Weather hotter this year? - bad news, that's man-made climate change! We need more carbon credits!"
"Weather colder this year? - bad news, that's man-made climate change! We need more carbon credits!"
"New Ice Age? Northern Europe uninhabitable due to glaciation? - bad news, that's man-made climate change. We need more carbon credits before it is too late!"
After all, the climate never stops changing. It's been up and down like a yo-yo for billions of years. Once we as a society glom onto non-disprovable Anthropogenic Climate Change, rather than unproven Anthropogenic Global Warming, then we really are sunk.
Nothing then could damage our magical belief in the climate, and man's heinous effect upon it.
Primitive peoples who believe that the earth is carried on the back of a turtle can at least be dissuaded by the evidence. But what evidence could ever challenge our invincible faith that all climate change was somehow down to us?
Reminds me of the old Steve Martin bit about how to be a millionaire:
"First, get a million dollars. Second..."
Where has this guy been ?
There is no Global Warming. None. Nada.
There is still a lot of outdated material and satellite photos circulating showing glaciers melting and the Arctic ice pack diminishing. Global warming wackos are still using this as evidence, outdated or not.
Well, that trend has reversed. The Arctic ice pack has actually started expanding again, but you won’t hear that from them.
"First, get a million dollars. Second..."
J. Paul Getty's advice on How to Get Rich:
Follow these three steps:
1. Wake up early every morning.
2. Work hard.
3. Find oil.
I agree with Lester. The more gasbags like him speak, the hotter it gets around here.
according to Weather.com, at this moment it is 1 degree Celsius in Uxbridge with a frost warning
Yep, and dumber than a sack of hammers.
Lester Brown is an idiot. I guess everyone has already forgot how he predicted that by the late 1990’s China’s development meant that they were going to eat the world out of grains and meat - with ensuing food riots, wars, etc...
Still waiting....
