Thank a Warmist for third world starvation

Thomas Lifson

A supposedly confidential World Bank report is said to blame biofuels demand for forcing world food prices up 75%. Aditya Chakrabortty of the UK Guardian, hardly a right wing publication, writes:

Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report obtained by the Guardian.

[...]

The figure emphatically contradicts the US government’s claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises. It will add to pressure on governments in Washington and across Europe, which have turned to plant-derived fuels to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil.

Global warming remains an entirely theoretical prediction, based on climate models that do not approach the complexity of the actual world climate system. But human starvation is a very real phenomenon in the here-and-now, with reports of Haitians eating dirt “cookies” as a way of fending off hunger pangs. The world’s poorest cannot compete with mandates for ethanol content in gasoline in many states.

Nice work, Al Gore. And a shout-out to the Nobel Prize committee, for giving the peace prize to a man who has helped starve the world’s poorest people. Now we know how much respect your prize deserves.

Gore’s chickens...are coming home...to roost!

The global warmists are a threat to all of mankind and should be arrested, incarcerated and executed.

Do unto others as they want to do to you.

Or something like that......

Is turnabout fair play or not?

And they go down fighting.

Liberals always manage to find a way to kill millions of people, even when they’re “helping”.

It’s about “change”, folks.

Further and convincing evidence that if you screw the marketplace, the marketplace screws you!

“Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely, and who rely on you in return.”

Simple thing to prove.  The global warming nuts have had their little models operating for about 20 years now. 

Just how do current conditions match up with their predictions of 20 years ago. 

If they were right then we should be worried about global warming.

If they were wrong they’re a bunch of dangerous kooks that should be locked up for our safety.

Guess, were they right or were they wrong.  If you picked right, guess again.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.
