"These projections imply that, even for the lowest emission scenarios, the average income of South Africans will have overtaken that of Americans by a very wide margin by the end of the century. In fact America's per capita income will then have been surpassed not only by South Africa's, but also by that of other emerging economic powerhouses, including Algeria, Argentina, Libya, Turkey and North Korea."

Yep, North Korea will be richer than the US in 2100 in every scenario the IPCC proposes. That is how they get their huge carbon dioxide emissions and huge warmings.

sounds like the global warming crowd has been smoking something really really hallucinagenic

Put another way, the IPCC lowest carbon dioxide emission scenario should really be considered as an upper limit scenario according the economists. Or the 1.5 C predicted warming in 2100 is an upper limit on what will happen, not a lower limit, if the IPCC climate models are error free (a very big IF).

I believe the first two IPCC reports were seriously distorted with political butchery too. Bookmarked.

I thought today would be a good day to bump this, what with 2 feet of snow across the Mid-Atlantic states.
