So...what's going on today isn't a media beat-up? And it isn't just the media beating it up...the list of things that global warming will cause is just getting longer and more rediculous day by day.
There have been story after story predicting everything from the demise of pasta in Italy (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,575348,00.html), to advising owners to steer away from short nosed dog breeds (http://www.plentymag.com/blogs/extinction/2008/01/global_warming_bad_news_for_pu.php), to other ludicrous things such as a Un claim in 1990 that we only had a "ten year window" or by the year 2000 we would see "eco-refugees" and that "entire nations" would be wiped off the map...rubbish that shows that, in the words of a past scare-monger, "Unless we predict disasters, no one will listen"...forgetting that if you predict fuckwitted things that make people laugh at you and which are obviously not happening, no one will listen either...
Here's one well-known list of links to everything global warming is supposed to be affecting...
http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm
Entertaining isn't it. And I still maintain that it must be embarassing for some alarmists that news items get archived away and dragged out years later to show how wrong they were...
Here's another list of the top ten predictions over the years about climate change (not global warming, as they aren't all about "warming"). http://rightwingnews.com/john-hawkins/10-global-warming-doomsday-predictions/
Deny it all you like, but people did actually believe this sort of thing and put out warnings about it. Don't blame me because I restrict myself to posting links to pro-global warming articles...there actually are a rebellious lot of people who actually question the whole idea and ask where the predictions results are that we were promisd we would be seeing by now, as heretical as that is...
