Global Warming On Pace For 4 Degrees: World Bank Worried
iONiUM writes "From the article: 'Over the years at the U.N. climate talks, the goal has been to keep future global warming below 2C. But as those talks have faltered, emissions have kept rising, and that 2C goal is now looking increasingly out of reach. Lately, the conversation has shifted toward how to deal with 3C of warming. Or 4C. Or potentially more." Overall it seems that poorer, less developed nations will be largely impacted negatively, while some countries (like Canada and Russia) will actually experience benefits. Where does that leave the rest of the 1st world countries?"
Did you hear that on Rush Limbaugh? Because it isn't true. The last several years or so have EACH been the hottest year on record up until that point.

You pay attention to what *some* scientists say. Follow the money.

Al Gore used expert scientists to predict a half dozen dire predictions that have failed to materialize. (Name one that has come true, if you can.) He is a big polluting hypocrite who has made millions on green energy schemes funded by the government.. while living it up in his mega mansion, mega yacht, and jet setting ways. He represents everything wrong with the global warming crowd. The billions "invested" in green energy have not produced a single revolutionary product that can stand on its own in the market place as an example of money well spent. I understand why you don't like Al Gore being propped up as the poster child of AGW.
No, you are posting bullshit. Using the same measurements that were used to scare us prior to 1988, there has been no significant warming since. For years the IPCC cabal responded simply that x years is too few to be a trend. So-called 'scientist' Phil Jones insisted that 15 years just was too short to show a trend (for what it's worth that might be the first true words the man has ever spoken - my question is why did he not realise this back when he was claiming that 15 years of warming DID prove a whole lot?) Of course that dodge only worked for a few years, and since warming hasnt come back, they had to find some way to resurrect it. Simple, really, just change the measurements. No significant warming in air temp over land, but surely something has increased? There we go, certain measures of ocean temperatures *have* increased. So the air-temp readings that were the basis for the case 10 years ago are suddenly pushed aside in favour of a different source of information that conforms to the confirmation bias of the researchers involved. No surprise when you realise these are basically the same people that came up with the hockey-stick by merging several different data-sets, using one set for one year and a different one for the next to get the effect they were looking for while while making it appear to be a single consistent measurement.
I understand that most people can lie easily if they believe it is for a good cause, but scaring the human race back into the dark ages is not a good cause, and I shudder at the thought of trying to understand someone so messed up they think it is.
