"The world faces threat to food supply, conflicts over water rights and growing inequality": TRUE "The only option to is cut emissions" : FALSE --- Or perhaps either world´s population climbing from 4 to 7 billions compared to GHE exponential growth is just showing our ´Success´ as a civilization? Floods, droughts, extreme weather events... shall naturally affect far more people in far more places that were underpopulated a few decades ago... Perhaps much more should be done to prevent further building in inadequate land? (O no, they say: just cut breathing!) --- My conclusion: REAL mankind-global problems and threaths are many and not simple ones. Our global economy is gsomehow an unleashed hungry dog causing lots of harm and pain to billions, and crossed dependencies make local crisis potencially very dangerous... but they pretend we should only care about CO2? ---

The 'Climate Change Report' has not been issued only the so called 'Summary for Policy Makers' which is what 'The Team' want the politicians to respond to. Then after the summary has been issued the 'scientists' are instructed to modify the report from the Working Groups to match 'The Team's' summary. This is being done at lower levels by academia where we see research by press release - then the actual paper coming out much later (if at all) presumably ensuring that it matches the press release.

The professor who refused to sign last week’s high-profile UN climate report because it was too ‘alarmist’, has told The Mail on Sunday he has become the victim of a smear campaign. Richard Tol claims he is fighting a sustained attack on his reputation by [Bob Ward, director of the Grantham Institute], a leading institution that researches the impact of global warming. Prof Tol said: "This has all the characteristics of a smear campaign. It’s all about taking away my credibility as an expert."

Lets worry about imagined AGW and not work on real stuff. "Astronauts to reveal sobering data on asteroid impacts" "This Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, three former NASA astronauts will present new evidence that our planet has experienced many more large-scale asteroid impacts over the past decade than previously thought… three to ten times more, in fact. A new visualization of data from a nuclear weapons warning network, to be unveiled by B612 Foundation CEO Ed Lu during the evening event at Seattle's Museum of Flight, shows that "the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a 'city-killer' sized asteroid is blind luck."" link

The AGW stuff has become a true diversion from the real stuff. But that is what governments do.

Code: What I find amusing in sea level rise, is that is what sea levels DO during an interglacial period. When sea levels start to fall for any length of time, then we ARE in deep do dah........reallllllllly deep do dah. Ya really think if they rise 3mm/yr or 4mm/yr it is going to make a lot of difference? No, folks know sea levels rise, and they still build houses etc on the shoreline. And they still expect the rest of us fools to pay for their losses when a large wave washes the house away. That is the problem...........not the level of sea level rise.

By the time a wave washes a house away, the insurance premiums will have far exceeded the losses on average. Insurance companies are smart, they sometimes lose but mostly they win. Folks without insurance may or may not be able to take advantage of low interest government loans to put their lives back together. The truth is there is no safe place to build a home, so people make their choices based on that. Everywhere we look there are different kinds of risks. Basically most stuff amortizes out to practically nothing after a few generations. Heck Sig North Dakota might glaciate. I mean whats the economic difference between a 3 foot thick layer of ice and a mile thick layer of ice that doesn't melt in the summer?

GWPF reports: MILESTONE REACHED; There has been no global warming for 50.4% of the satellite temperature record.
