‘Humiliating’: 2004 Guardian Report Peddling Climate Doom By 2020 Frozen Out
NewsBusters ^ | 12/27/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The eco-extremists at the liberal Guardian should realize by now that the internet is forever. The outlet freaked out over 17 years ago about a frosty future thanks to a ridiculously inaccurate Pentagon prediction.

The Guardian published a report in 2004 sounding the alarm bells over a “secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs” and obtained by sister newspaper The Observer. Here was the harrowing message, according to The Guardian: “[M]ajor European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.”

I'm more concerned about the idiots at the Pentagon who published this. 17 years later, no doubt these clowns are brigadier and major generals now.

CHILDREN JUST AREN’T GOING TO KNOW WHAT SNOW IS

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/blogs/tim-blair/children-just-arent-going-to-know-what-snow-is/news-story/5a16c85680b7cc94f345240a727fb09d

From The Independent, 2000:

‘Snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

‘According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.’

These grifters have been around as long as I've been old enough to read. I still remember the Paul Ehrlich books my mother used to scare herself with back in the 1960s.

In the 1970s, hundreds of millions will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now...

He was Al Gore before there was an Al Gore.

I’m still waiting for the coming ice age as predicted in the NY Times in the early 70s.

And let me guess: Dr David Viner won’t be confronted about his BS.

I remember that there was supposed be mass starvation by the late 70s. And then the mid-80s. And then again by 1996. Then they shifted to Y2K was going to destroy everything. Now it’s Covid that is competing with climate change.

But but but, this time they are really right!!! So we must all (that means all the not elites) lower our standard of living, give up all our freedom, stop traveling, and live tiny apartments, tightly packed in dense urban cities, to save our fragile planet!

Al Gore invented Paul Ehrlich.

Before he invented the Internet.

I don't know, maybe it's my sick sense of humor, but this always use to crack me up. To me it wasn't about pollution but racists. Why else would people throw garbage at his feet? They totally ignore that and pay more attention to the pollution. Yeah to hell with the Indian, pollution is more important.

What’s also funny is that guy (he’s actually Italian) is as much Indian as is Senator Fauxcahontis.

I may be overly optimistic but there are signs that people are getting panic fatigue over the climate and the Wuhan virus. Brandon is messing things up so bad that we have more real and immediate concerns.

Espera Oscar de Corti

Born in Louisiana of Italian immigrant parents,

he was the prototype for Elizabeth Warren,

though his field was acting

and not poly-ticks.

And 99.9% of GOP Senators are actors just like this guy.

But we must keep nominating them, and voting for them, because to let a Democrat win would be so much worse! And this is how they’ve kept the scam going for 50 years.
