Scientists are 90 percent certain that people are the cause of global warming
WASHINGTON — The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing up, and within a couple of decades hundreds of millions of people won’t have enough water, top scientists will say next month at a meeting in Belgium.
At the same time, tens of millions of others will be flooded out of their homes each year as the Earth reels from rising temperatures and sea levels, according to portions of a draft of an international scientific report obtained by The Associated Press.
Really, lefties are you listening? If you want people to even think for a moment that tens of millions of people A YEAR are going to be affected by rising ocean levels you’ve got to do a better job selling it, like make a movie. Ooops, that’s right you did. And people are still not buying it, well keep shouting. Maybe a little louder will do, and write an official-looking report about the polar bears dying and such.
The report included these likely results of global warming:
_Hundreds of millions of Africans and tens of millions of Latin Americans who now have water will be short of it in less than 20 years. By 2050, more than 1 billion people in Asia could face water shortages. By 2080, water shortages could threaten 1.1 billion to 3.2 billion people, depending on the level of greenhouse gases that cars and industry spew into the air.
_Death rates for the world’s poor from global warming-related illnesses, such as malnutrition and diarrhea, will rise by 2030. Malaria and dengue fever, as well as illnesses from eating contaminated shellfish, are likely to grow.
_Europe’s small glaciers will disappear with many of the continent’s large glaciers shrinking dramatically by 2050. And half of Europe’s plant species could be vulnerable, endangered or extinct by 2100.
_By 2080, between 200 million and 600 million people could be hungry because of global warming’s effects.
_About 100 million people each year could be flooded by 2080 by rising seas.
_Smog in U.S. cities will worsen and “ozone-related deaths from climate (will) increase by approximately 4.5 percent for the mid-2050s, compared with 1990s levels,” turning a small health risk into a substantial one.
_Polar bears in the wild and other animals will be pushed to extinction.
Good lefties, got that Polar Bear thing covered.
My appologies! I posted it in “Czech Pres: Environmentalism is a religion” Musta been the “glo-bull warming” that made me forget! ;>0

While your at it, go to this blog and let this looney liberal “Assistant professor” (that says he is “100 times smarter than you”) know what you think of him. He uses “wiki” as his source of intelligence.

Gore’s ‘carbon offsets’ paid to firm he owns
Critics say justification for energy-rich lifestyle serves as way for former VP to profit
You just knew this was coming!
Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a “carbon neutral” lifestyle by buying “carbon offsets,” but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.
“Gore has built a ‘green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can’t afford to play on Gore’s terms,’ writes blogger Dan Riehl”
