Since the World Isn't Warming Anymore, Surprise, Climate Idiots Decide Catastrophic Global Warming Effects Will Beset Us With Only Small Changes in Temperature

As Indiana Jones said, "I don't know, I'm just making this up as I go along."

The Earth won't have to warm up as much as had been thought to cause serious consequences of global warming, including more extreme weather and increasing threats to plants and animals, says an international team of climate experts.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that the risk of increased severe weather would rise with a global average temperature increase of between 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit and 3.6 degrees above 1990 levels. The National Climatic Data Center currently reports that global temperatures have risen 0.22 degree since 1990.

Now, researchers report that "increases in drought, heat waves and floods are projected in many regions and would have adverse impacts, including increased water stress, wildfire frequency and flood risks starting at less than (1.8 degrees) of additional warming above 1990 levels."

Indeed, "it is now more likely than not that human activity has contributed to observed increases in heat waves, intense precipitation events, and the intensity of tropical cyclones," concluded the researchers led by Joel B. Smith of Stratus Consulting Inc., in Boulder, Colo.

I do not care for this theory. It insists upon itself.

Isn't it odd that with the panic among alarmists due to the earth not really warming at all over ten years, we now find out, whoops, gee willickers, it hardly has to warm at all to plunge us into disaster and ruin?

Who could have seen that coming. Who indeed.

Thanks to Arthur.
