Absurd Global Warming Claims Highlight Lack of Credibility
By James M. Taylor
Global warming alarmists are in a frenzy this week, crying “the sky is falling!” after a group called DARA predicted global warming will kill more than 100 million people during the next 18 years and destroy the global economy.
This is not an accomplished scientist or respected scientific organization making the ridiculous predictions. DARA is an obscure, heretofore irrelevant non-government organization dedicated to guilting people in wealthy nations into forking over money to the rest of the world to atone for a host of Western Democracy sins, and especially our climate change sins.
But DARA, as irrelevant as it was, figured something out. Make ridiculous global warming claims and big-league environmental activist groups will beat a path to your door. Not that DARA made any effort to mask its alarmist, redistributionist predispositions. At the very beginning of the DARA paper making the alarmist global warming predictions, the group added a full page containing nothing but the words, “Dedicated To The Innocent Victims of Climate Change.”
Now THAT’S an objective scientific study for you!
It all comes down to credibility. Alarmists claim global warming will kill more than 100 million people during the next 18 years. Based on such an absurd prediction, they want us to trust them to reshape our society and govern the world economy.
No thank you – the rest of us live in the real world.

I’m more worried that governments will destroy the world economy and kill 100 million people in the next 18 years. As we know, democide is one of the leading causes of death on this planet.

The problem is how many on the left will just eat this stuff up without giving it one ounce of thought? If our country falls because of things like this and the possibility of Obama being re-elected to a second term, I blame every single one on the left. Blood will be on their hands. I also will no longer have anything to do with them whether family or friends. I can not just sit back and watch this happen.
Looking at some of the nonsence being foisted on the general public makes one wonder what the “experts” are trying to sell us. The world has been cooling for some years and is unlikely to change its course. Anyone who takes the trouble to read must realize that the earth is changing as it has often it the past. The cooling trend continues and will continue for centuries. Our planet is moving into what some would identify it as a new and lasting ice age.
Marbe the coming ice age will kill off several million people. But you have people like Ted Turner says the world elite have to lower the World’s population to %00 million. There has been a high level of HAARP activity in San Diego county along the I-8 near the California, Mexico and Arizona border. There has been the smell of volcanic gases near the Salton Sea.. They tried make everyone believe it was a fish die off. A lan in Alabama said that dead fish smell like stink no rotten eggs like volcanic gas. The there the fire around Campo, CA right in the middle of HAARP activity. I believe the drought in the midwest was caused by HAARP and Chemtrail activity.
Your kidding, right? What about all the drought and fires previous to man?
Don´t even mention their bullsh’t here on your site.
DARA has something in common with the more established global warming climate change groups. They both pull numbers out of their asses.
Okay lets do the numbers
Daily deaths world wide 156000
Yearly deaths world wide 56,940,000(not including leap year)
World wide deaths over the next 18 years regardles of AGW 1,024,920,000+-(One trillion twenty four million nine hundred and twenty thousand)(I know you can read numbers, I just wanted to type it out).
Give or take.
Bascially and extra 5,555,555.5 extra souls a year. We already lose almost 57,000,000 a year.
Roughly 15,000 more daily by their numbers.15,000 on a planet of six or seven billion really isn’t even a drop in the bucket.
Meh I can live with it.
How many more will die trying to keep perishables refrigerated, homes warm and water clean by using ‘renewable’ energy sources?
Sounds like the village iodiots are getting desperate. Maybe they’ll be the first to freeze to death when the weather and temps start going south.
Ok global warming will kill 100 million people in the next 18 years. How many will global cooling kill?
another Pathetic scare story,
just like the non existent 50 mil climate refugees we were supposed to have from sinking islands coastal inundation a few years back
funny how they shut up when time passes their drama day with NO event occurring.
as for apology? don’t wait, it will Never occur.
Piers Corbyn is putting out a:

Well, Piers Corbyn was certainly right about the floods in Spain, 28th Sept.:

what a bunch of agenda driven trash again !
The headline should read “Next ice age will kill over 100 million the next 18 years”
This global warming garbage comes from the same kind of people that introduced same sex marriage, government debt, womens lib, fiat money, gun control and a host of other sexual, political and economic perversions. I say to hell with them all, they are good for nothing and have no credibility.
That is an odd claim, since mortallity rates are double in Jan. compared to July.
It took the communist nations nearly all of the 20th Century to kill 100 million of their own people, but did we rise up in alarm and try to stop them? Global warming will probably be better for humanity and an ice age will kill more than 100 million. Be prepared.
Yet the Warmists and the Agenda21 is advocating 5 Billion population reduction by 2050.
I think 100 million is the better deal.
They would have us give up our homes, land, money and Liberty or the sky will fall. What I see happening will kill many and it’s not global warming, but a “major Solar Grand Minima”.
Since the left(GW alarmists)are so concerned with the redistribution of wealth,and so good at predicting everything, why don’t they start predicting and passing out winning lottery numbers so we can all get rich and afford all the taxes which are about to be shoved down our throats.
