Climate change analysis predicts increased fatalities from heat waves

Yet more bad news. Full report at url.

The ice of Greenland and the rest of the Arctic is melting faster than expected and could help raise global sea levels by as much as 5 feet this century, dramatically higher than earlier projections, an authoritative international assessment says.

The findings "emphasize the need for greater urgency" in combating global warming, says the report of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP), the scientific arm of the eight-nation Arctic Council.

The warning of much higher seas comes as the world's nations remain bogged down in their two-decade-long talks on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

Rising sea levels are expected to cause some of global warming's worst damage - from inundated small islands to possible flooding of New York City's subways. Oceans will not rise uniformly worldwide, because of currents, winds and other factors, but such low-lying areas as Bangladesh and Florida will likely be hard-hit.

According to Europe’s Envisat, It will take more than 1,000 years for sea level to rise one metre.

Almost as big a threat as six year old blonde girls in pigtails carrying explosives to airports in their knickers.

A lesson in the idiocy of the AGW hysterical Climate 'Scientists', see the first graphic below
The black line is actual temperature, way lower than 'predicted' (i.e: completely made-up).

Source: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007, p. 675, based on Santer et al, 2003.
See also IPCC, 2007, Appendix 9C.
ACTUAL temperature data from 1998 to Nov. 2010 added later
no warming trend at all for years.

The second graph shows the DECLINE in correlation between Temp & CO2 - similar to what Keith Briffa was referring to when he made the statement "Hide the Decline" in relation to Prof Michael Mann's utterly discredited Hockey Stick Graph, showcased by the IPCC in one of their reports and by Al Gore in his ridiculous film An Inconvenient Truth

This decline makes a mockery of the AGW-Hysterics childishly ridiculous contention that CO2 Rise = Temp Risae

The silly predictions of AGW hysterics laid bare

Hide the Decline!! - The hysterics own data shows a decline in Temperature since 2001

It's rather ironic and disingenuious that the same environmentalist who want the human population on earth reduced from 6 to 1 billion are so worried that people might be killed by global warming! More people die from cold than heat mate.

there ARE too many people in the world
Its at the root of so many of our problems
Its the elephant in the room
the nettle that nobody will grasp.

The irony is most of those people are living miserable lives in abject poverty and terrible work conditions

However I'd imagine if the population is going to be reduced, it won't be through global warming. It'll be something like this:
