The Ying & Yang Of Global Warming


Kofi Annan's think tank Global Humanitarian Forum
has issued a new report on global warming:

"Climate change kills about 315,000 people a year through hunger, sickness and weather disasters, and the annual death toll is expected to rise to half a million by 2030."

"To avoid the worst outcomes, the report says efforts to adapt to the effects of climate change must be scaled up 100 times in developing countries. International funds pledged for this purpose amount to only $400 million, compared with an average estimated cost of $32 billion annually, it notes."

This report starts with the premise that global warming is caused by humans and then extrapolates extravagant death tolls. It then puts an enormous price tag on mitigation.

The real hard science of global warming is quite different. It contradicts warmist dogma, thus exposing a political agenda.
