His most recent book is "Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization", the fourth and perhaps most urgent version of the Plan B series...

Note to Mr. Brown: switch to "Plan 9 from Outer Space". In your case, it would be an upgrade...

Hey, I liked that movie, cheesy as it is!

"Battlefield: Earth" would be more appropriate, since it also is written by a self-styled religious zealot.

Quick, everybody! Paint the roofs of everything white! And turn on your air-conditioners and open all the windows!

That's the ticket!

80 percent CO2 reduction in 11 years? Ummm...

If that happens, then what will the plants and trees survive on?

He is referring to Man’s CO2 input into the environment. He’s still a dumb ass.

Linking health, wealth, and well being with the use of energy
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2361170/posts

But what about the net effect of economic development on developing countries?

Indeed, human well-being has also advanced for developing countries. Consider, for example, that:

* The proportion of the developing world’s population living in absolute poverty (i.e., living on less than $1.25 per day in 2005 dollars), was halved from 52 percent to 26 percent between 1981 and 2005. Ironically, higher food prices, partly because of the diversion of crops to biofuels in response to climate change policies, helped push 130-155 million people into absolute poverty in 2008. This is equivalent to 2.5–3.0% of the developing world’s population.
* The proportion of the developing world’s population suffering from chronic hunger had declined from around 30-35 percent in 1969-1971 to 16 percent in 2003-2005. It has since increased to 18% —thanks, once again, in part to climate change policies designed to displace fossil fuels with biofuels (see here, p. 10-11). The UN Food and Agricultural Organization estimates that such policies helped increase the number of people in the developing world suffering from chronic hunger by 75 million in 2007 compared to the 2003-2005 period.
* Life expectancy in developing countries increased from 25-30 years in 1900 to 41 years in the early 1950s to 69 years today.
* Child labor in low income countries declined from 30 to 18 percent between 1960 and 2003.

I understand that, I was being somewhat sarcastic. However, I heard just the other day that due to higher levels of CO2, we have more plant life now than we have had in a long, long time. CO2 is the food for plants. I don't currently have anything to back up what I heard, but I can see it being logical.

That may have not been the link I was looking for. I remember seeing something that said that food production was 12% higher than it would be without the human input of CO2.

He was originally a farmer in NJ.

Note how the cows labeled Farmer Brown's head.

No mention of nuclear. He’s a faker, even of his own moronic beliefs. Pretty sad, when you can’t even sincerely believe WRONG ideas.
