We’re All Going to Starve…By 2030… or 2040ish at the Latest

Article by; / John Ransom | Mar 19, 2014



If you’re like me this will send chills down your spine.

Nature Climate Change recently published a paper that contends that temperate zones will see reduced crop yields by 2030, presumably plunging the world into a man-caused famine not seen since the last time communists were in charge.

From Blue and Green Tomorrow:

“As more data have become available, we’ve seen a shift in consensus, telling us that the impacts of climate change in temperate regions will happen sooner rather than later,” said Professor Andy Challinor, lead author of the study.


Yes, any time I see the word “consensus” in the context of the "settled science" of global something I break out into a cold sweat, I hyperventilate and my sight grows dim.

And that should happen to you too.

Because I next wonder: “How much is this going to cost me exactly?”

But then I remember, upon studied reflection, that every time the WeatherNazis come to a consensus about anything they’re as wrong Hitler was in invading Russia without winter clothing.

“Oh, don’t worry,” he said. “It’s gonna be a lot warmer than people think.”

Certainly, it’s a lot warmer for him now.

For the estimated $100 billion annually that we will be spending on “climate change” programs by 2020, I’m thinking that there might be a better way to spend that money, like terraforming Mars for human population or throwing a really big Fourth of July Parade.

These are certainly better ideas than the rationing of electricity, wearing clothes made exclusively of hemp and dating chicks with hairy armpits.

Or driving a Chevy Volt.

But the news gets worse for liberals.

The indoor hemp industry apparently produces the same amount of carbon in the atmosphere as 3 million cars.

“'Indoor Cannabis production uses 1% of the nation’s entire electricity consumption,' reports Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researcher Evan Mills in the Huffington Post. 'This comes to energy expenditures of $5 billion per year.' While 1% may not seem like a lot, the report claims that smoking one single Cannabis joint is equivalent to running a 100-watt light bulb for 17 hours. That Cannabis cigarette carries two pounds of CO2 emissions."

I don't know what a gram of dope costs these days, but that's a lot of carbon for a gram.

While the doomsday date for the final destruction of mankind due to global warming gets pushed back farther and farther, I’m wondering if any of these WeatherNazis actually understand human history.

It would be wonderful if human activity could warm the planet.

The danger to civilization isn’t a warm planet, but a cold one.

It was only with the retreat of the last Ice Age that the ascendancy of modern man took hold. Without that, we’d all be living in caves, each of us ineligible to be president of the United States because we’d all still live in Kenya.

Instead we live in the house of cards that the president of the United States built—who by the way was born in Hawaii, a place much warmer than most of the globe; and presumably what Montana will be a lot like in the global something future.

Weather does influence culture, but not in the ways the alarmists would have you believe.

A new study by Matthew Ranson—no relation (my relatives know how to spell)—made possible by a fellowship from Harvard, predicts that because of global warming crime will spike, with your daughters unsafe to roam the streets day or night.

“The results show that temperature has a strong positive effect on criminal behavior,” writes Ranson, “with little evidence of lagged impacts. Between 2010 and 2099, climate change will cause an additional 22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny, and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft in the United States.”

See and all this time I thought that dinosaurs failed to adapt and thus became extinct.

I never knew it was dino-on-dino crime caused by high global temperatures.

And so reports like these send chills down my spine.

Because believe me: It’ll cost us. One way or another, it’ll cost us.

That’s the liberal way.

Liberal Study Reveals Real Reason For Dinosaur Extinction


62% Of Americans Are Racists


Looks Like Sink Sunk!

I thought Joe Biden said that the increases in crimes rates you mention was the direct result of the Republicans refusing the pass Obama's jobs bill.

I so look forward to warming. It was the first day of spring yesterday and we still have 12 foot high snowbanks. More snow to come. Our growing season is about 3 1/2 months long. I want to grow oranges and peaches. I want to see green grass before May 15. Wishful thinking so far with global warming in effect for many years.

dljen Loc: Central PA

Michigan really got thumped this year. I live in PA and the snow here is still on the ground in places. Where it melted, the grass is a dark brown...I live to see green again. This has been a long and freezing winter for most of the nation. Wishing you an early Spring and no more snow!

Cannabis and hemp are not the same thing.

It may not be apparent to people in Michigan but the world is a whole lot bigger than just that one state. Global warming does not mean that every spot on the globe will warm uniformly and in recent years a disproportionate amount of the warming has gone to the oceans generally and the arctic specifically.

The average warming of the globe over the next century is variously estimated as 3 degrees C to perhaps 10 degrees C - less than temperatures vary seasonally. Then again the track record for these estimates is that they have generally been too conservative.

The warming may not be very noticeable simply as warming. What we will more readily notice are more intense rain, snow and winds with increasingly violent storms. And we may notice food costs going up and availability going down as a consequence of the unpredictable weather.

40 years ago the liberals were crying about global COOLING
30 years ago we had 10 years before the fish were so decimated humans would starve
20 years ago we would over populate the planet to the point we could not grow enough food and die as a species

Funny the global temperature has been constant for 17 years ( obviously caused by global warming)

Note to liberals: Planet climate is ALWAYS dynamic.
We have been WARMING since the end of the last ICE AGE, with a lil mini ice age in the interim.

Liberals thumb-suckers might look at all the evidence before launching in to their tirades.

Humm I heard the sky was falling as well.

Oh, quit complaining, just move out here to the west.. Today was 67, and not a drop of snow anywhere. Ok, maybe some rain by next Tuesday. LOL,, :D :wink:

And we don't want to hear any complaints about a lack of water or about fires sweeping the hills.
