    An interesting article that discusses the increased impact of extreme weather on human populations in the wrong places.

    It looks pretty so we want to build our home there. But, humans often forget that Ma Nature isn't designed to accommodate human wishes. Waves grow too hight – homes get flooded. A drought makes everything tinder dry and fires break out – destroying human habitations.

    Let's just go ahead and bypass all the stuff about “man-made climate change” in the article and get down to the part of the destruction coming because humans have made far too many bad choices.

    Read the article @ http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30215782

    Well there always those pesky blizzards to claim...surely they are unprecedented..... you mean they are not

    lets see it was global warming...then climate change...now it's extreme weather....the marketing and lobbying sites sure are flexible. The sun rises due to the devastating rise of CO2 from 3 molecules of CO2 per 10,000 to 4 in every 10,000

    works for Gruberites I suppose

    Is this another of the 100+ failed predictions? I think if they throw enough out, they may get one right then they can crow they were right all along. LOL

    I've been reading where Britain and parts of Europe are suffering some truly miserable weather.

    It would be a bad choice for an Australian used to a 92% white population.

    World's only truly successful genocide. Your people exterminating the Tasmanian Aborigines.
