This is a steaming pile of nonsense. Warmer temps = more evaporation from oceans = more rain. CO2 is plant food.

Satellite pictures already show less desertification, the Sahara is greening, etc.

It’s global cooling that causes desertification.

Much of the globe will be experiencing much higher average temperatures.

Define "much higher." How much? A degree? Two? Maybe even four or five? And for how long? A day or two? And that's supposed to represent some kind of long-term climate trend?

If the cure for this phenomenon was as unscientific as the observations themselves, we'd be out on a hillside shaking magic chicken bones into the wind.

Earth becoming a desert...

could become (bait and switch)

Our research predicts (crooked grant loving “scientists” using cooked and crooked models)

regions could avoid (crooked grant loving “scientists” using cooked and crooked models)

Most climate scientists blame greenhouse gases (it only takes one real scientist with evidence to destroy a theory, this wreaks of non-existent consensus science, in effect a church)

could reduce the likelihood (crooked grant loving “scientists” using cooked and crooked models)

unlikely the Trump administration will pay much heed (Trump bad)

Much of the globe will be experiencing much higher average temperatures (completely lacking in evidentury detail)

The regions represent more than 20 percent of the world’s population (so, we should be talking about land mass, plus if they don’t like the desert they can move)

Contributors to the green fund are slated to provide a total of at least $120 billion each year by 2020 ($120 billion down the toilet!, thanks President Trump for getting us out of this hoax/scam)

Perfect. Now these “scientists” can genetically engineer sand worms to populate the new deserts. Earth will corner the market on the spice melange and rule the galaxy. Hey, it’s just as likely to happen as their predictions.

So basically by increasing the atmospheric carbon dioxide (plant food) content all the way up to 1/4 the level that plants actually evolved at will cause plants to die.

What I don’t get... the world is clearly not going to end.

It will still be here, regardless of the climate.

Worst case scenario, people end, and to be quite frank, I don’t care. I’m really fine with that.

I also don’t believe that anyone on the Left cares one bit about saving anyone. They want a lot less people and have wanted that for a long time.

All this save the earth crapola is a complete scam.

For some reason I am reminded of this old joke this morning:

A son who is in college sends his father a letter that reads: “Dear Dad, No Mon, No Fun, Your Son.”

To which the Dad replies: “Dear Son, Too Bad, So Sad, Your Dad.”

Ice melts, there is more free water, the earth will be greener.

Deserts will shift and shrink. Not grow.

Yep, this photo is found for sale in the Getty Images web-site. Its under Oranges and Dry. So, other colors have been taken down so the orange of the dried dirt is contrasted with the blue of the sky for stylistic reasons. And this photo is Ukraine, not a desert.

OK, now watch for record rain and snow falls and flooding problems.

Happens every time these idiots open their mouths and make these kinds of statements.

“When the dinosaurs walked the earth the CO2 levels in the atmosphere were about 26% compared to 21% now”

Ummm you are off by a few zeros. Current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 400 parts per million, or 4 molecules CO2 per 10,000 molecules of air. Or 0.04%, rounded to significant digits approximately 0.0%.

Lurkinanloomin: "CO2 is .04% of the atmosphere.
It is a trace gas and has no bearing on temperature."

And CO2 is key to the entire Global Warming meme.
But two key points to remember:

  1. Compared to average levels in the Earth's geological past, CO2 levels are still quite low.

  2. Rising CO2 levels are historically the result, not the cause, of rising temperatures.
