Panel’s Warning on Climate Risk: Worst Is Yet to Come
New York Times ^ | March 30, 2014 | by Justin Willis

YOKOHAMA, Japan — Climate change is already having sweeping effects on every continent and throughout the world’s oceans, scientists reported Monday, and they warned that the problem is likely to grow substantially worse unless greenhouse emissions are brought under control.

The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations group that periodically summarizes climate science, concluded that ice caps are melting, sea ice in the Arctic is collapsing, water supplies are coming under stress, heat waves and heavy rains are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and fish and many other creatures are migrating toward the poles or in some cases going extinct.

I remember another catastrophe that some of today’s alarmists staked their reputation on at the time: The population bomb. Paul Ehrlich predicted ‘hundreds of million people dying in the streets’ in the 80’s and 90’s if growth in population was not reined in. He was egregiously, stupefying wrong. Yet today he is pushing global warming and no one in the media calls him to task for his demonstrated idiocy. Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Shown to cause cancer in lab rats. To equal the dosage the rats received, a human being would have to consume 800 cans of soda a day for a year.

Sunspot actively severe enough to knock out communications satellites and the power grid. Gets predicted by the MSM about every two years. Never happened so far.

Some people would consider the coffee crop or chocolate crop being wiped out a catastrophe. Those get predicted by the MSM every two years too, but never happened yet.

The worse will always be “yet to come”

Global warming would have been much worse if there had not been so much cool weather. That was one of their latest revelations.

“a good number of environmentalists would like to kill 90% of us off”

I consider radical environmentalists to be the group most likely to use homemade WMD on a large scale basis, specifically to kill as many people as possible. Many of them consider the human race to be a cancer on the planet. Many have advanced degrees in biological sciences. Many would die for their cause. I would not put it past them to steal and/or develop bioweapons and deploy them on a mass scale.
