It’s not a script for the next science-fiction thriller, but renowned British scientist James Lovelock is giving human civilization less than 32 years before all hell breaks loose because of the effects of global warming.

Lovelock said the impact of climate change is irreversible regardless of what mankind does.

“By 2040, the world population of more than six billion will have been culled by floods, drought and famine,” Sarah Sands of The Daily Mail (U.K.) wrote in an article published on March 22. “The people of Southern Europe, as well as South-East Asia, will be fighting their way into countries such as Canada, Australia and Britain. We will, he says, have to set up encampments in this country, like those established for the hundreds of thousands of refugees displaced by the conflict in East Africa. Lovelock believes the subsequent ethnic tensions could lead to civil war.”

Those millions will probably be on diets due to the enhanced growing seasons. Happened to Paul Ehrlich too.

It curious how these people always want to pick a date. Someone should have asked if it was 1 October 2040 or 4 June 2040....and see if the idiot even grasped the question.

Since global warming has taken “a rest” for the past 10 years, maybe we should expect to see cacti in Paris by 2050?

Has anybody told AlGore, yet? He’ll fix it. Maybe he’s not worried about it anymore ... haven’t hear from him in awhile.

China will be devastated, but as a result of their water policies and pollution, not GW.

You’re right. I just saw that on the History Channel. December 21, 2012, is the day the world ends.

People adapt to changing conditions. As do most other living creatures.

Polar bears may even turn out to be quite a trophy for the big game hunters, as they come ashore in northern Canada and compete with wolves and grizzlies for the swelling herds of caribou.

And bananas growing in Labrador doesn’t sound so bad.

“Britain contributes such a tiny amount of emissions compared with countries such as China that our self-regulatory measures are pathetic.”

Water vapor is 95% of all greenhouse gases. Everything man contributes is meaningless.
