"Runaway Global Warming promises to literally burn-up agricultural areas into dust worldwide by 2012, causing global famine, anarchy, diseases, and war on a global scale as military powers including the U.S., Russia, and China, fight for control of the Earth's remaining resources. Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelarates into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe."
Meanwhile it is 2013 and no one has died from global warming yet.
Why anyone takes the global warming morons seriously is beyond belief, these people are too stupid to take their laughable predictions off their website. lols.
Did you know, within 80 years most of the worlds current population will be dead and the world will be repopulated? Technically billions die every century. But you're correct, there aren't any documented deaths from Global Warming but does that mean we should allow mass emitting of CO2 and everything will be fine? The earth is like a garage in a sense, you can turn a car on in the garage with the door closed and eventually the people who are in the garage will slowly but surely die.
I remember him being on the Johnny Carson show stating that we'd basically run out of everything by the year 2000........ oops
I read his book, The Population Explosion in the '90s, when I was a young liberal that knew everything, and I preached the message of impending doom due to the population outgrowing the earth's carrying capacity.
Around 2000 or so, I realized that I didn't know everything, and that the things people said weren't to be taken at face value just because what they were saying was in agreement with what I already believed (confirmation bias).
Now I'm older and more experienced, and I read the, ahem, stuff that the young liberals of today are writing online, and most of the time, I just shake my head. I understand where they're coming from, and that no amount of arguing with them will change their position - they know everything. If you disagree, you're either stupid, ignorant, greedy, brainwashed, etc.
They'll come around. It's been happening for generation after generation after generation, and theirs won't be any different. Many of the most ardent left-wing know-it-alls that post here will reflect on their youth in a couple of decades, and they'll wonder how they could have been so stupid.
Free food pushes up prices because the food is free and they don't care about the price. all about supply and demand.. and what the people will pay for an item.
The food supply is far more threatned by the federal government distorting the agriculture business with subsidies and incentivizing crops such as corn ethanol.
While subsidies should go your claim lacks any and all merit not to mention a basis in reality.

It's a wee bit more complicated than that.
There's one universal constant when it comes to climate modeling. Every single model, since the inception of the practice, has been wrong.
There are too many variables to account for when doing that kind of work. When they need a value for one of those variables, they guess, or in the best case, estimate (guess).

No, it's not like a garage with a car in it. It' like a garage with a small dog in it. CO2 is harmless. Car exhaust is not.

You are correct. But that doesn't stop a lot of scientists from guessing. Maybe it's because they don't have to earn a living by producing anything.

Seems like your real problem stemmed from reading an already outdated, 20 year old popular science book when you were younger and interpreting it as current scientific fact.
I've only become more liberal as I've gotten older. Don't really want to end up a greedy bitter old white conservative male. Especially since that would also end up involving a sex change.
Good. We drove to Oakland to see a game - stopped in the city to visit friends and have an early dinner on the way. Traffic was horrible.
