Well here we are almost 20 years after the 10 year point of no return and New York City still isn't under water. 1989 is 30 years ago, so where is the coastal flooding and crop failures creating eco-refugees? Where is Noel Brown today? I don't know but some intrepid reporter should track him down and ask him where the flooding is. Time is the cure for the Global Warming Hystericals. Time and time again their cockamamie predictions come and go without ever coming true. Why anyone listens to these Chicken Littles now is beyond me. The only explanation is they simply weren't born yet when the predictions were made and passed. Al Gore Warns Polar Ice May Be Gone in Five Years OOOooffffaaa!
First, 1 to 7 degrees? How much did we miss that Mark by? Second, "the 8,000 year Ice Age? We are in an Ice Age that is 2.5 million years old. We are in an interglacial period that is 11,600 years old and the previous glacial period lasted about 100,000 years. Oh, one last thing, CO2 is a good thing. Without it there would be no life on Earth. During the dinosaurs era, CO2 was about 3,000 ppm, as opposed today's 380 ppm. They thrived for millions of years. Oh one more thing, climate change is caused by the Milankovitch Cycles.[/QUOTE]
