Just in time for me to retire!
Those beaches should be fairly empty by then.

And how many million will be born every year, dumbassmitter?

...and the U.N. un-nazied the world - forever.

Good because I recently got moved to morning shifts. My nice easy commute at 10:30 am completely blows at 7:30 am.

Well tomorrow's will be 6:20 or so, but it being a Saturday should move quicker. But I have to be at work a few minutes early to set up a little prank.

Of course, the US doesn't care about poor brown people but the economic implications may get some attention.

I'm holding a lot of future beachfront property, so I'm cool.

TFA: "If emissions carry on their current pathway then we may in the longer term be headed for three or four degrees (of increased temperature), which is practically impossible for everybody to adapt to."

I'll just let that speak for itself.

I live on a hill.

This is why no one listens to the UN

Anything else I should add? Because I thought millions were going to die because of these things... (HAHAHA)

Our descendants will be laughing at us 200 years from now. Global warming will be the event that defines our time. We'll be seen as backwards and clueless because of the assumptions that we have made on the limited climatic knowledge that we possess.

It's about time for everyone to move to Canada. Good thing I have dual citizenship because a lot of you are going to be treated like Mexicans.

Mojo says by 2030 tomorrow, most of the posts here will be coloured green.

One million deaths a year; where?

Whew, read that, and now I'm feeling great! I am so damn glad I spent xxx to buy xxx!!! Now, everything is in perfect harmony.

Cue Dr. Mojo


/or not. I imagine even an invested man knows a losing proposition when he sees it.

By then ultraheroin will have killed 2/3rds of the population anyway

vegastar: It's about time for everyone to move to Canada. Good thing I have dual citizenship because a lot of you are going to be treated like Mexicans.

I still think it's funny that here in the US we don't allow dual citizenship but the rest of the world doesn't give a damn. You can be a US citizen and a citizen in another country and they don't care about that little clause of forsaking all ties to other countries or whatever the oath is.

Not that I have dual citizenship, but good on all y'all that do.

Umm, wouldn't more than that die of the common cold (out of 7 or 8 billion)? How would they measure that 1 million deaths?

We've only been measuring climate accurately for the last 3 or 4 thousand years. All this "the sky is falling" wailing could just as likely be a regular earth climate pattern.

They don't know jack about "global warming" as the experts corrupted what data they had to begin with.

My thoughts are, we know we are doing some very unhealthy things to our environment. Wouldn't it make sense to just start improving on our practices, and spend the huge amount of money they want to throw at the unknown towards more pressing needs like disease, hunger, preventing war and strife around the planet? Or even just creating new jobs for all?

I hope most of us are smart enough to tell the "Chicken Little's" of the world to keep their damn hands out of our pockets for non-priority activities.

I did one better, Alaska. By 2050 the Interior up here is going to be wheat country.

Wow, someone made a lot of alts for this thread...

sure hope i don't get swine flu!

That's completely impossible, and the scientists who said it are idiots. Everybody knows that if we try to do anything about temperature increases we'll bankrupt the first world in less than a month, and the economists who said it are geniuses, so it must be true.

we need at leats 100 million deaths a year to make any kind of impact

It's more likely that some unrelated disease or event will kill millions of people and some Al-Gore-esque character will claim it was due to global warming.

Who the hell wants to live in Canada? Seriously, it's like a really huge North Dakota, with some mountains. Screw that.
Canada sucks. The Canadians have attitude. Screw them.
Screw Canada.
And screw you.

Awesome, maybe there will still be $10 a month in Social Security.

Well I know one person I'm not sharing my massive water supply with...

I'm kidding, take what you need.

I know a girl

Oh no, the people who were going to die of starvation, dirty water, AIDS, malaria, and civil war are going to die of global warming instead.

Oh for the love of yawn.

CasperImproved: Umm, wouldn't more than that die of the common cold (out of 7 or 8 billion)? How would they measure that 1 million deaths?

Unless you're under the impression that 727 > 1,000,000, then likely not.

let's agree not to post pictures of what mounting obesity may look like.

EL_FABREZ: Oh no, the people who were going to die of starvation, dirty water, AIDS, malaria, and civil war are going to die of global warming instead.

Since all people are going to die anyway, no matter what, your argument taken to its logical extreme is that we should do nothing to prevent any deaths ever, since with certainty all people will OH NO! eventually die of something anyway.

That's some fine thinking there.

It's a good thing I've met enough cool Americans to know you only fit the stereotype, not the norm.

RockChalkH1N1: Anything else I should add? Because I thought millions were going to die because of these things...

Acid rain and the Ozone hole are two that I can think of.

I remember being told as a child that we had already done irreparable harm to the ozone layer and would be suffering for it as adults. Now it turns out that it seems that the hole was always there, we just didn't know about it until recently.

Great post. I remember this too. Scared me to death for a couple of days. I can only imagine what Gore and his ilk are doing to the mental health of children these days.

Truely the death toll shall raise the ladder
No mortal may hide, except for the shatter!

We fixed the ozone problem by altering human activity... that's why it didn't cause the predicted doom and gloom...

Crosshair: I remember being told as a child that we had already done irreparable harm to the ozone layer and would be suffering for it as adults. Now it turns out that it seems that the hole was always there, we just didn't know about it until recently.

Another, more accurate and reality-based way to look at it is that we were told that if we didn't do something soon, the hole could potentially grow beyond our limits of control. We responded by actually doing something, and it came under control.

It seems you're confusing seasonal ozone depletion with ozone depletion from CFCs.

Ahem. Don't you think we should claim more than a million deaths? A million deaths isn't exactly a lot of death.

Hey, now, that's Celsius. Which is like, almost 10 degrees in real money.

If you consider that that's the worldwide average tem----You know what? Fark it. I know how pointless it is to post rational thought in a global warming thread.

Refute this with your charts.

ArkAngel: We are currently coming out of the tail end of the Ice Age.

Climate change - yes
Global warming - yes
Caused by man - doubt it

It's the rate of change and the lack of ability for life to adapt quickly enough that is part of it... and the decreased ice pack that provide water to huge portions of the globe...

/deniers are still out there, really??

I'm just going to leave this here as an example of the kind of climate science the IPCC relies on.

http://climateaudit.org/2010/12/02/odonnell-et-al-2010-refutes-steig-et-al-2009 /

Steve McIntyre helped cowrite a peer reviewed refutation of a recent climate study that used faulty statistical analysis.

Climatology is really statistics
