As we get into the coldest month of the year, we are seeing a slight increase in flu outbreaks, but, so far, world wide the flu season has been a bust. So, is a warming world really that bad? At the beginning of the Little Ice Age, the Black Death ran rampant, killing 75 million from Europe to Asia. And like today’s warm period, the LIA was natural. Things will happen, some good, some bad. People have still been getting colds this fall/winter, but most have been mild. This mild winter could (there’s that word again, very scientific) cause more Lyme Disease this year. For the Warmists, though, hot cold wet dry is a cause for apoplexy and force 10 moonbattery. They are true Flat Earthers, thinking that nothing should ever change, that the climate and weather should always be the same and entirely predictable.
I've said this before,that global warming is a good thing,its periods of global cooling that are the real killers.BTW,climate change has to be the biggest oxymoron their is.Doesn't the climate do just that,change?Isn't that why we have seasons,Winter,Spring,Summer and Fall.In fact,isn't some of the most inhospitable places on Earth is were the climate never changes,Antarticia and deserts?Maybe,just maybe,climate change is NORMAL!

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist:
It is five minutes to midnight. Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed. For that reason, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is moving the clock hand one minute closer to midnight, back to its time in 2007.
What,pray tell,are the "global threats" that have us ticking to our destruction?A nuclear Iran? An Al-Quada having the bomb?Or maybe,just maybe,a weakened United States,led by our fearless,often vacationing leader,Barack Obama?Nope? This:
In fact, the global community may be near a point of no return in efforts to prevent catastrophe from changes in Earth's atmosphere. The International Energy Agency projects that, unless societies begin building alternatives to carbon-emitting energy technologies over the next five years, the world is doomed to a warmer climate, harsher weather, droughts, famine, water scarcity, rising sea levels, loss of island nations, and increasing ocean acidification. Since fossil-fuel burning power plants and infrastructure built in 2012-2020 will produce energy — and emissions — for 40 to 50 years, the actions taken in the next few years will set us on a path that will be impossible to redirect. Even if policy leaders decide in the future to reduce reliance on carbon-emitting technologies, it will be too late.
They forgot to mention that the seas will become a boiling cauldron of blood and locust,giant man eating locust will emerge to devour mankind from off the face of the earth.How can we avert such a catastrophe?:
The challenges to rid the world of nuclear weapons, harness nuclear power, and meet the nearly inexorable climate disruptions from global warming are complex and interconnected. In the face of such complex problems, it is difficult to see where the capacity lies to address these challenges. The political processes in place seem wholly inadequate to meet the challenges to human existence that we confront.
As such, the Science and Security Board is heartened by the Arab Spring, the Occupy movements, political protests in Russia, and by the actions of ordinary citizens in Japan as they call for fair treatment and attention to their needs....................
Yes,we must all repent of our evil capitalist ways and immediately embrace the nirvana that progressive socialism has to offer.Only then and only then,when we all are equally poor and miserable,will we all truly find peace and serinity.
