Global warming will 'hit poorest hardest', says IPCC

World climate experts have issued their bleakest forecasts yet on the effects of climate change, predicting that it will inflict damage on every continent but hit the world's poor disproportionately hard.

In a 1,400-page report, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that almost a third of the world's species could be wiped out by global warming.

The report's accompanying summary was agreed this morning after experts and officials wrapped up a week of talks in Brussels with a marathon 24-hour negotiating session. Delegates said that the United States, China and Saudi Arabia provoked charges of political interference by objecting to the scientists' tough wording.

Some scientists even vowed never to take part in the process again. “The authors lost,” said one, who did not want to be named because the process is confidential. “A lot of authors are not going to engage in the IPCC process anymore. I have had it with them.”

The talking points are settled and the headlines across the globe are the same.

The next shoe is being readied to drop.

Central control must be utilized to "help" the poor.

The US and even the Chinese are objecting to the rhetoric, even from amongst the Global Warmins shill scientists that attend such conferences.

However, the fix is in. The stategy is now set and locked in.

Long Live the Revolution.

Send the poor to Mars. Oops, Mars is having it’s own global warming issues.

Lesson to be learned: It sucks to be poor. Don’t do it!

[Red Badger]

The “poor” are always the hardest hit, on any matter...............That’s why we call them “poor”........

[rhombus]

The so-called “cures” will hurt the poorest much worse.

“Woman and Children Hardest Hit”

I find it interesting that during the winter, which was quite cold, the global warming(tm) BS all but stopped.

Now that spring is coming, the papers are hitting us with it full-force again.

Global warming will 'hit poorest hardest'

Crap, FR has been saying that for years, along with Women and Minorities.

[READINABLUESTATE]

THE WORLD TO END TOMORROW!
Women, children and poor hardest hit.

[headstamp]

Yes, the Earth is so warm, it’s starting to melt Mars.

[Waco]

Only if they don’t buckle their seatbelt!!!

[Maceman]

Oops, Mars is having it’s own global warming issues.

Yeah, but that's just due to dust storms, don't ya know. So it's not the same reason as we have on Earth.

At least, that's the new line.

Want to have some fun with the nutjobs????

Go here: http://www.dhmo.org/

Download all of their info and start a petition drive to help ban Dihydrogen Monoxide.

The left loves to sign those petitions, then when they are all worked up about it you get to tell them that Dihydrogen Monoxide is good ol'  H₂O.

GIANT ASTEROID SMASHED INTO EARTH - WOMEN AND CHILDREN HARDEST HIT

[metmom]

Problem is, the forecast for Easter is worse than the weather was for Christmas. So where is that global warming anyway?

[KC Burke]

I was so tickled to see that virtually the exact same headline wording was being used by over ten outlets around the world. Talk about obvious shilling for taking the revolution over the heads of the political processes. Sheese.

[KC Burke]

I loved Dixie Lee Ray’s book from two decades ago...warnings on water were in there as well, LOL.

Global Warming, the egalitarian engine!

Implement the Al_Gorgeous, Grandiose, aGenda and we'll

ALL BE POOR!

Global warming will inflict damage on every continent but hit the world's poor disproportionately hard.

Liberal to English translation: Global warming will promote food production worldwide and will help the world's poor the most.

POLITICS OF CATASTROPHE IN A NUTSHELL:
(Lessons of history)

 

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. ”
-- H. L. Mencken

• “A hypothesis is always preferable to the truth, for we tailor a hypothesis to fit our opinion of the truth, whereas the truth is only its own awkward self. Ergo, never discover the truth when a hypothesis will do.”

• “For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.”

• “Therefore a wise prince ought to adopt such a course that his citizens will always in every sort and kind of circumstance have need of the state and of him, and then he will always find them faithful.”

• “Besides what has been said, people are fickle by nature; and it is a simple to convince them of something but difficult to hold them in that conviction; and, therefore, affairs should be managed in such a way that when they no longer believe, they can be made to believe by force.”
  -- Nicolo Machiavelli

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
-- H. L. Mencken

---

“The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”
-- John Philpot Curran

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
-- Edmund Burke

“The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
-- Plato

 

 

Anyone who wonders what the UN/IPCC Anthropogenic Global Warming hype is actually about need only look no further than Europe to note the real agenda behind the AGW push, and it ain't science:

France and 45 other countries call for world environmental monitor
International Herald Tribune: Europe
The Associated Press Published: February 4, 2007

• PARIS: Forty-five nations joined France in calling for a new environmental body to slow global warming and protect the planet, a body that potentially could have policing powers to punish violators.

• "It is our responsibility," Chirac said. "The future of humanity demands it."

• "Without naming the United States, the producer of about one-quarter of the world's greenhouse gases, Chirac expressed frustration that "some large, rich countries still must be convinced" and were "refusing to accept the consequences of their acts."

• "So far, it is mostly European nations that have agreed to pursue plans for the new organization and hold their first meeting in Morocco this spring."

• "We are at a tipping point," Gore said to the conference by videophone. "We must act, and act swiftly." He added: "Such action requires international cooperation."

• "It is time now to hear from the world's policy makers," Tim Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation, said Friday. "The so-called and long-overstated 'debate' about global warming is now over."

• "The United Nations also is considering a summit meeting of world leaders to tackle global warming, and de Boer said he would expect the United States to send high-ranking officials to to participate.

"Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves, have to (find a) way to scare the public . . . and this you can achieve only by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are."
-- Petr Chylek, Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, commenting on reports that Greenland's glaciers are melting. Halifax Chronicle-Herald, August 22, 2001

"Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as "synfuels," shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration."
-- James Hansen, stated in presentation to Council on Environmental Quality, June 12, 2003

"To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have."
