The Climate Refugee Hoax
IBD Editorials ^ | April 13, 2011 | Staff

Junk Science: Five years ago, the U.N. predicted that by 2010 some 50 million people would be fleeing climate change, rising seas, mega-hurricanes and so on. Instead, no islands have sunk and their populations are booming.

It's been said that when you make a prediction and provide a date, never give a number, and if you give a number, never provide a date. That way you can always claim to be right, even when you are wrong, and that it just hasn't happened yet.

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) made that mistake in 2005 when it produced a map showing areas to be impacted by the effects of climate change. These areas would produce 50 million "climate refugees" driven out by rising sea levels, increased frequency and ferocity of hurricanes, disruptions in food production, etc.

As related by blogger Gavin Atkins, who unearthed the forgotten prophecy of doom, some of these areas have conducted censuses and if they are facing any problems at all, it's caused by their rapid and sustained population growth. If anybody is leaving any of the danger zones, it's because they are getting too crowded.

For example, the latest census report shows that the population of the Solomon Islands near Australia has passed a half-million, up 100,009 in the last decade. The Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean, has seen its population rise from 81,755 in 2002 to 88,311.

Yes. Never give both a date and a number in the same forecast.

Heard about this on Prager the other day. These people never have to apologize because very few will remember and call them on it.

I was talking to my husband about this just a few minutes ago and another thing I heard on the radio this afternoon—some lady from the “I Like Boobies” campaign and how she wants middle school aged girls and boys to go around with shirts and bracelets that say “I Like Boobies” to raise breast cancer awareness. She was one of these people that sounded like a semi-educated valley girl.

All of these people with their causes pull figures and info out of their rectum. I call it “scare fads”. The kind Oprah and her groupies like to get worked up about.

Maybe Al Gore is hiding them in the basement of one of his mansions.

The endless fraud perpetrated by the climate hucksters knows no bounds.
And the endless coverup by the lying Lamestream Media knows no bounds either. This will go completely unreported by MSNBCABCCBSCNN.

These calculations do not take into consideration that on June 3, 2008 “was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

...she wants middle school aged girls and boys to go around with shirts and bracelets that say “I Like Boobies” to raise breast cancer awareness.

Then she wouldn't mind wearing a t-shirt that said, "I Like D**k" to raise testicular cancer awareness...?
