Global Warming On Pace For 4 Degrees: World Bank Worried 439
iONiUM writes "From the article: 'Over the years at the U.N. climate talks, the goal has been to keep future global warming below 2C. But as those talks have faltered, emissions have kept rising, and that 2C goal is now looking increasingly out of reach. Lately, the conversation has shifted toward how to deal with 3C of warming. Or 4C. Or potentially more." Overall it seems that poorer, less developed nations will be largely impacted negatively, while some countries (like Canada and Russia) will actually experience benefits. Where does that leave the rest of the 1st world countries?"

This morning at 8AM, the temperature was 54 degrees F. The temperature at 3PM is 75 degrees F. Scientists predict that by next week, the Earth's surface will turn to magma.

100% of anthropogenic global warming comes from man-made causes.
Don't concern yourself with how much of global warming is natural. We should be trying to limit man's contribution.

Exactly! What do a bunch of scientists and college people know? There's plenty of sites on teh internets that have proved that temps are actually falling, that the continents aren't spreading, the moon does have a dark side and twinkies are actually Lembas, with better marketing.
