Global Warming Proven To Be A Hoax

At least, here’s all the proof I need — the U.N. says otherwise. After hosting a conference of professional scaremongers, the U.N. issued a report today:

BRUSSELS, Belgium – An international global warming conference approved a report Friday warning of dire threats to the Earth and to mankind — from increased hunger in Africa and Asia to the extinction of species — unless the world adapts to climate change and halts its progress.

Africa will be hardest hit, the report concluded. By 2020, up to 250 million people are likely to be exposed to water shortages. In some countries, food production could fall by half, it said.

I just knew that global warming was going to turn out to be racist.

And, of course, it is a plot against poor people:

“The poorest of the poor in the world — and this includes poor people in prosperous societies — are going to be the worst hit,” Pachauri said. “People who are poor are least able to adapt to climate change.”

Erm, poor people are least able to deal with anything. That’s sorta the bad thing about being poor.

But never mind, global warming is also going to wipe out endangered species:

The report said up to 30 percent of the Earth’s species face an increased risk of vanishing if global temperatures rise 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above the average in the 1980s and ’90s.

Here in the United States, global warming will overturn Roe v. Wade and bring back prayer in public schools:

Huh, I can’t find the quote. Maybe there are actually some liberal bogeymen that global warming will not affect.

According to the U.N. report, there really is no room for argument about this any more.

There was little doubt about the science, which was based on 29,000 sets of data, much of it collected in the last five years. “For the first time we are not just arm-waving with models,” Martin Perry, who conducted the grueling negotiations, told reporters.

Of course, the consequences of inaction will be catastrophic.

“This is a glimpse into an apocalyptic future,” the Greenpeace environmental group said of the final report.

Without action to curb carbon emissions, man’s livable habitat will shrink starkly, said Stephen Schneider, a Stanford scientist who was one of the authors. “Don’t be poor in a hot country, don’t live in hurricane alley, watch out about being on the coasts or in the Arctic, and it’s a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting.”

And we all know what action means: (1) higher taxes, (2) more regulations, (3) more bureaucrats (attending more conferences), (4) a greater role for the U.N. and other international bodies, and (5) a greater role for their constituent advocacy groups like Greenpeace.

Greenpeace’s Mr. Schneider tells us exactly what to expect:

“We can fix this,” by investing a small part of the world’s economic growth rate, said Schneider. “It’s trillions of dollars, but it’s a very trivial thing.”

And just guess where that trivial bit of chump change is going to come from.

The summary will be presented to the G8 summit of the world’s richest nations in June, when the European Union is expected to renew appeals to President Bush to join in international efforts to control emissions of fossil fuels.

“The urgency of this report prepared by the world’s top scientists should be matched by an equally urgent response from governments,” said Hans Verolme, director of the global climate change program of the World Wide Fund for Nature.
