Global Warming on Free Republic

One day soon, humanity is going to cut through the liberal lies and laugh their asses off that Democrats in the early 21st Century were successful at TAXING THE WEATHER.
Let’s ask Newt...
The “issue” might be “dead” but governments around the world are still making trillion dollar policy decisions based on it.
I like Mr. Hanson’s writing. Thanks neverdem.
Global Warming on Free Republic

“It’s not dead. This is a religion with a following, prophet...”
You’re probably right. We’ll need to see a Jonestown incident, where Gaia wizard Gore takes a thousand followers to his energy-sucking Montecito mansion and makes them eat cyanide goat cheese on rye, before this eco-fascist cult finally dies.
We can call it the Cheese-Wiz tragedy.
AGW is dead scientifically, but I'm afraid it's still gaining a full head of steam bureaucratically.
Didn’t get the memo:
Wintertime droughts are increasingly common in the Mediterranean region, and human-caused climate change is partly responsible, according to a new analysis by NOAA scientists and colleagues at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). In the last 20 years, 10 of the driest 12 winters have taken place in the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.
“The magnitude and frequency of the drying that has occurred is too great to be explained by natural variability alone,” said Martin Hoerling, Ph.D. of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., lead author of a paper published online in the Journal of Climate this month. “This is not encouraging news for a region that already experiences water stress, because it implies natural variability alone is unlikely to return the region’s climate to normal.”

Growing a better future (note that this is a PDF)
The food system is buckling under intense pressure from climate change, ecological degradation, population growth, rising energy prices, rising demand for meat and dairy products, and competition for land from biofuels, industry, and urbanization.
The warning signs are clear. Surging and unstable international food prices, growing conflicts over water, the increased exposure of vulnerable populations to drought and floods are all symptoms of a crisis that may soon become permanent: food prices are forecast to increase by something in the range of 70 to 90 per cent by 2030 before the effects of climate change, which will roughly the double price rises again (see Figure 1).
Listen to any NPR affiliate for ten minutes and someone will insert the topic of AGW into whatever discussion is going on. There will be no expression of doubt concerning the reality of AGW. It is real, it is happening now, and the sea level is rising. The only uncertainty is whether the self-annointed elite will get the power to regulate all human activity in time to avert the extinction of civilization amidst the cataclysmic storms and rising waters. Reason does not penetrate the progressive mind.

Thanks for the ping!

Has anyone ever considered that social and civil unrest can tear apart civilization faster than a changing climate can? There are times when I think the world is full of people who don’t get this concept.
I remember seeing about an inch of snow there, if I recall correctly, Oct 13, 1979 (I had just moved there).
Didn’t snow again, though, until February 1980.
