Could not resist this bit of history from the
climate groupies. We only had until the year 2000 before
disaster would strike. Seems these dates change like the dates
for the doomsayers predicting the end of the earth. As each date
passes, another ominous warning and another 'disaster' date is
set.
"U.N. Predicts Disaster
if Global Warming Not Checked, PETER JAMES SPIELMANN June 30,
1989
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A
senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be
wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the
global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal
flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of eco-
refugees, threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director
of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments
have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse
effect before it goes beyond human control. As the warming melts
polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet,
enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations,
Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday."
