'We will be toasted, roasted and grilled': IMF chief sounds climate change warning
The Guardian ^ | October 25, 2017 | Agence France-Presse

Posted on 10/25/2017 7:11:00 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The world will be in deep trouble if it fails to tackle climate change and inequality, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde has warned.

“If we don’t address these issues... we will be moving to a dark future” in 50 years, she told a major economic conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Tuesday.

Lagarde said that “we will be toasted, roasted and grilled” if the world fails to take “critical decisions” on climate change.

Lagarde also called for tackling inequality between men and women and countries that are “haves” and those that are “have nots”.

If the world wants a future that “looks like utopia and not dystopia”, it needs to address such concerns, Lagarde said.

So, really, it’s not about “climate change”. It’s about taking money from men and giving it to women, and taking money from earners and giving it to non-producers.

PS, Chrissie - the climate is always changing, without any help from us.

Sounds like someone needs to donate all of their wealth to gov’t.

For the children.

As an example for the others.

Ben Chacko in the Morning Star

INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund boss Christine Lagarde raised the ghost of Karl Marx yesterday at a London conference of the super-rich on “inclusive capitalism.”

The managing director cited the founder of scientific socialism’s insight that capitalism “carried the seeds of its own destruction” while addressing an audience of corporate tycoons at the Mansion House and Guildhall.

But no mention of being fried. So I think we’ll be okay.

I believe that I am correct when I point out that not a single model produced by this ‘settled science’ has been accurate in its predictions. Indeed, one opponent of the desired (UN, IMF, IAEA, Sierra Club, FoE, Al Gore etc. ) taxpayer-obligated monies has made the point that his disagreement with human-caused WARMING is the multiplicity of drastically different models. Yet almost all of the old ones have been withdrawn and the new ones are too new to properly test.

Delingpole: Now 400 Scientific Papers in 2017 Say ‘Global Warming’ Is a Myth

breitbart.com ^ | 10/24/2017 | James Delingpole
Posted on 10/24/2017, 7:09:40 AM by rktman

When I reported earlier this year on the 58 scientific papers published in 2017 that say global warming is a myth the greenies’ heads exploded.

Since then, that figure has risen to 400 scientific papers.

Can you imagine the misery and consternation and horror this is going to cause in the corrupt, rancid, rent-seeking world of the Climate Industrial Complex?

I can. It will look something like this.

Just to be clear, so the greenies can’t bleat about being misrepresented, here is what these various papers say:
