Climate Panel Says To Prepare For Weird Weather

Layzej writes "Extreme weather, such as the 2010 Russian heat wave or the drought in the horn of Africa, will become more frequent and severe as the planet warms, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns in a report released today. Some areas could become 'increasingly marginal as places to live in,' the report concludes. Critics of the report note that 'Governments have in the past considerably weakened the language of IPCC summaries for policymakers,' and that the IPCC process tends to water down even the most obvious conclusions."

    Not to mention look up on Yahoo News the latest story on Solyndra (I believe the show is called marketwatch) where an author that actually looked at Obama's 'green tech initiative' found that out of TWENTY billion spent SIXTEEN billion was given to cronies like Al Gore, and that in many cases there wasn't even a review process! One company whose income last year was 13 million and which had NEVER made a profit got 1.3 BILLION with a B in money this year! The author then looked into the background of the company and found it a who's who of campaign donors.

    What do this have to do with TFA? simply this, it really doesn't matter what IPCC or anyone else says about the weather as the scammers have come in and the ONLY thing that will get done is the transfer of money from your pocket to theirs, that's it. Anything else and they don't make massive profits by cranking out some panels in China and calling it "green" at a 4000% markup or get billions to build some plant in the desert. they know fear helps them scam money so the nastier things get the more they profit. they profit on food and water shortages, they profit on locking up the IP behind a bazillion patents, they profit by having your taxes diverted into their pockets.

    The whole "green" thing, while once a noble idea about taking care of our planet, has become a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation where it frankly doesn't matter WHAT happens to the climate as those elite at the top make money on every possible angle. Oh and before anyone says i'm right wing watch Marketwatch, he names several Rs that likewise pocketed crazy amounts of money for their friends as well as had some nice insider trading going on, like Bacus from AZ that was shorting the economy after getting reports from Bernanke.
