When we see these warmies stop flying and driving fossil-fuel conveyances, cease to own all petroleum product items and move into communal yurts, we’ll know they’re serious.

Didn’t they say the same thing 10 years ago?


...and 10 years before that

...and 10 years before that

This Global Cooling lie began in the 1970s. When it turned out the earth was not cooling they changed it to Global Warming. When that did not work they changed it to Global Climate Change.

They've been saying this since 30 years ago.

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

Good news AGW has been permanently placed in a rolling 10 year stasis.

Eco-warriors should be holding victory celebrations world wide.

If within the next ten years we enter an ice age, these same “scientists” will say “See, we told you so.”

1970: WE HAVE 10 YEARS BEFORE GLOBAL COOLING KILLS US ALL
1980: WE HAVE 10 YEARS BEFORE MASS POLLUTION KILLS US ALL
1990: WE HAVE 10 YEARS BEFORE OZONE DEPLETION KILLS US ALL
2000: WE HAVE 10 YEARS BEFORE GLOBAL WARMING KILLS US ALL
2010: WE HAVE 10 YEARS BEFORE GLOBAL WARMING KILLS US ALL

The world has barely 10 years to get climate change under control, U.N. scientists say...Seems we've heard this story before.

**Credit naturalnew.com for the facts that follow...

Once upon a time in the late 1980s, the Left devised a behavioral modification scheme aimed at one thing: Future control of as much of the population as possible. As a means, they settled on human-caused “global warming” — the determination that modern existence was causing the planet to heat up so much all life would soon be exterminated. The crackpot theory was first introduced by NASA ‘scientist’ Dr. James Hansen in testimony before the U.S. Senate in 1988: “Global warming has begun.”

At the time, Hansen — said to be a “leading expert on climate change” — told a Senate committee that he was “99 percent certain” that the warming trend of the day wasn’t due to natural Earth variations but instead was being “caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other artificial gases in the atmosphere,” the Times reported.

The Times intoned with this dire warning: “If Dr. Hansen and other scientists are correct, then humans, by burning of fossil fuels and other activities, have altered the global climate in a manner that will affect life on earth for centuries to come.”

Since then, of course, there has been no shortage of wild predictions of mass gloom, doom, and death, thanks to selfish humans (Americans mostly) who care more about their SUV than heating up the planet to the point of extinction.

And while the Left continues to tout Hansen's theory as legitimate, none of their predictions have come true. In fact, Hansen’s own charts and computer models from 1988 and earlier have been shown to be ridiculously flawed.

Here are some of the most bizarre, insane, and just plain wrong predictions of disaster:

— One of our day’s biggest climate hoaxers, former Vice President Al Gore, predicted in 2006 as he was hyping in his BS (but nevertheless Oscar-winning) documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” that unless we took “drastic measures” to reduce “greenhouse gases,” then the world would reach a “point of no return” within a decade. That prediction is now 12 years old. Mind you, Gore has never been a climate scientist or even a scientist at all; he’s just a political huckster like any other Democrat who claims to have intimate knowledge about the Earth.

In March 2000, a writer for the UK’s Independent wrote that “snowfalls are now just a thing of the past,” as Britain was undergoing “striking environmental change” (thanks to selfish humans). But then a strange thing happened; England kept seeing snowfall. In fact, in March of this year rural UK received so much snow, one longtime resident of rural England remarked: “I’ve never seen anything like this.”

— In 2007, Australia’s The Age pondered, “Can climate change get worse? It has,” onto its way to predict “more catastrophic damages from climate change than in the worst-case scenario forecast by international experts.” That, ostensibly, included losing most of the Australian continent to flooding as melting ice dramatically increased the sea level.

The negro, sand-negro collective of evil will certainly doom civilization before any climate change.

This is the weakness of the global warming scam... If they make it longer than 10 years, no one will have any urgency, but they will then be exposed as frauds after 10 years. Didn’t Ted Danson say that we would lose our oceans in 10 years... like 25 years ago?
