5 Terrifying Statements in the Leaked Climate Report

5 Terrifying Statements in the Leaked Climate Report
Quote:Climate Desk has obtained a leaked copy of the draft Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2013 Summary for Policymakers report, which other media outlets are also reporting on. The document is dated June 7, 2013. We recognize, as we've previously reported, that this document is not final, and is in fact certain to change.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

I believe it's been recently ascertained that the main reason sea levels are rising faster than expected is because of rainfall patterns: more of the increased precipitation has been over the ocean lately. There could be years when sea levels don't rise, or might even drop slightly, when more rain falls on land, as it did in Australia a couple of years ago. The overall trend is up, by a quarter-inch or so a year.

These statements aren't new. They were in the previous IPCC, maybe in less certain terms. But there were so many figures in that report that I don't remember all of them.

Any moment now some xtian fuckhead will come along telling us to "pray" for water wings.

One can always count on them to have useful solutions to problems!

If the water levels keep rising, we might experience... A GLOBAL FLOOD??!?!?!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Naw, they won't have us pray for water wings when Jesus will be making us fly up into heaven soon. That is, if you're one of the good people.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
