Gee, who do you suppose they are trying to blame with this photograph of global warming? (It looks to me like Canada is to blame!)

The chicken littles warn:

Global warming is approaching the critical point of no return, after which widespread drought, crop failure and rising sea-levels would be irreversible, an international climate change task force warned Monday.

The report, "Meeting the Climate Challenge," called on the G-8 leading industrial nations to cut carbon emissions, double their research spending on green technology and work with India and China to build on the Kyoto Protocol.

Tell that to Tony Grieco of Somerville, Mass, who is digging out his car from under 5 feet of snow.

In a related note, Steven Milloy notes that the U.N.'s World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction is trying to push the agenda that there are no "Natural" disasters any more.

As the global warming alarmist community likes to point out, the U.S. is the largest single contributor to the alleged global warming, emitting 25 percent of all greenhouse gases while possessing only 4 percent of the world's population.

Toward the goal of blaming the U.S. for what used to be considered "natural disasters" in order to eventually extract financial compensation, the U.N. conference's draft action plan is riddled with references to climate change [read, "U.S.-made climate change"] as causing or contributing to "disasters."

The Bush administration rightly opposes the U.N.'s effort to de-naturalize disasters and has requested that the document's references to climate change be removed. But U.N. officials oppose such changes.

"I hope there will be a global recognition of climate change causing more natural disasters," said Jan Egeland, U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs.

Weather disasters like hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, ice storms always have, and always will plague man. As far as we know, they are entirely natural occurrences. There is absolutely no credible evidence that humans - much less Americans in particular - have had have any discernible impact on the frequency and severity of - dare I say it? - natural disasters.

By changing the movement from 'global warming' to 'climate change', they have made it impossible to refute their claims. If it gets hotter, it must be 'global warming'. If we have a blizzard, it must be extreme weather due to 'climate change'. We used to call it weather, but now if it's not 72 and sunny, the environmental wackos claim the end is near.
