Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Climate Change Helped Spark Syrian War, Study Says

Interesting study showing severe drought in Syria helped fuel the civil unrest there. Farmers move to cities, putting an already stressed infrastructure under more pressure.

 

Saturday Night Live was pretty good tonight. But it wasn't nearly as funny as that article.

 

Kim Jong Un, friend of the environment. Maybe he's trying to make his push for a Nobel Peace Prize.

N. Korea 'declares war' on deforestation at Paris climate talks

Now if those 196 representatives and all their scallywag hangers-on at the "talks" will just walk back to their homes, or hop in a canoe and start paddling across the oceans, I will think they actually mean what they are saying.

 

Carbon reductions for thee, not for me ...

 

Liberals are hysterical.

They vote for something meaningless, that isn't binding, and won't do anything, but, hey, it could be an inflection point in human history!

The new deal will not, on its own, solve global warming. At best, scientists who have analyzed it say, it will cut global greenhouse gas emissions by about half what is necessary to stave off an increase in atmospheric temperatures of 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. That is the point at which scientific studies have concluded the world will be locked into a future of devastating consequences, including rising sea levels, severe droughts and flooding, widespread food and water shortages, and more destructive storms.

But the agreement could be an inflection point in human history: the moment at which, because of a huge shift in global economic policy, the inexorable rise in planet-warming carbon emissions that started during the Industrial Revolution began to level out and eventually decline.

 

OBAMA'S COMING FOR YOUR CARS!!!!!

 

International law!

 

3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's meaningless. Pat yourselves on the back, but it's meaningless.

 

So embarrassing.

I guess the "no chearing in the press box" rule doesn't apply to environmental journalists.

 

So let's keep the status quo and see where we end up. Seems like that's becoming the conservative mantra these days.
