The Risky Business Project led by Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, and Tom Steyer recently released its report on “The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States.” The project’s co-chairs have all been out in the media promoting the project’s report, and—like sheep—the mainstream media have generally been uncritical of the report’s claims.

Huh? The lsm critical of glow-bull discombobulation? Say it ain't so. Looks like the little pos from nyc has his fingers in a lot of pies these days. Since his soft drink fiasco in nyc seems to have failed (was there a 16oz limit on beers?) and his mares against guns campaign is a slow starter he might as well toss some warming bs on the fire. Easy for these uber rich p's os to spout all this crap since they have enough money that no rules, regs, requirements or legislation is gonna have much effect on them.

1. More people die from cold than from heat.
2. Neither heat or cold is a problem if you have cheap energy.

IMHO, Environmental policies are a bigger threat to humanity than the environment itself.

Yup. As much as I find hot steamy weather uncomfortable, it’s a heck of a lot easier to survive than -40 deg/f. Of course that’s too simple for the ecowackos. Seems like crops grow better in that sort of climate as well. And even better with a little extra CuhO2 boost.
