In a speech before a group of interested parties of the United Nations at its recent (08-11-09) economic summit, its Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that we have four MONTHS, or else http://www.un.org/apps/news/infocus/sgspeeches/statments_full.asp?statID=557). In his remarks Ban stated that "climate change" "is the fundamental threat to humankind" and it "will intensify droughts, floods and other natural disasters" and "[w]ater shortages will affect hundreds of millions of people. Malnutrition will engulf large parts of the developing world. Tensions will worsen. Social unrest – even violence – could follow". Yadda, yadda, yadda. I've heard this on and off for all of my adult life! But the biggest inanity was this: "We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet.".
He goes on to give his stupid, exorbitantly expensive and scientifically and technologically impossible Marxist "solutions" to avoid catastrophe. I say, screw it! Let's just live like there are only four months left. As the great philosopher of our time, Jimmy Buffett, says: "The bad news is the world is ending. The good news is there's a party"!
