U.N. predicted entire nations would be wiped off Earth by the year 2000

But of course now we have "more accurate tests". Then in another 25 years we'll have "more accurate tests". Then in another 25 years... and 25 years after that... hey maybe after picking winners and losers with emission standards between nations for 100 years we'll have helped create a new #1 world super power. Oops we were bit off with our original calculations. Sorry our bad.

Every predicted environmental catastrophe of the last 60 years has failed to materialize. From global cooling to Paul Ehrlich's "population bomb" to the starvation of billions due to world hunger to the depletion of the world's oil supply, the forecasts of the alarmists since 1960 is roughly 0/10.

So what's dooming us now? Why, global warming is, naturally.

So let's all just believe the catastrophists and forget about the other 10 insanely wrong enviornmental predictions of the last half century, shall we? Much appreciated.

You'd be worth responding to positively had you finished school and got that diploma, alas your lack of basic education only warrants this reply and no further ones

I see. So your rebuttal, in other words is, "Shut up!"

You have nothing to say about the accuracy of what I've written. All you have to say about my argument is, well, THIS:

Typical SJW non-response when their cult is debunked!

There is a huge list of failed Greenie predictions, just google it.

Species are going extinct by the bushel. The weather is getting worse. The worst part is having to listen to Americans with acne pretending they know anything.

Millions of refugees leaving Africa by boat for Europe. Millions of Syrians flooding into Europe. What do you call that? They ain't moving a better view.

reply

You think those Syrian refugees are leaving because of CLIMATE?

Does that mean citizens of other desert nations in the area are leaving for Europe, too (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, etc) or is climate change just mainly affecting Syria?

reply

Most of the African refugees are climate refugees.
You prove the Syrian refugees are not.

reply

Don't you ever wonder why the climate refugees from Syria are traveling alllll the way to Europe? Don't you ever wonder why they aren't going someplace closer to home -- like Egypt, for example, or Jordan?

Nobody's leaving THOSE countries, right? Which means the climate in those places must still be pretty good, right?

Right?
