New Glowarm Warning Issued

Today I was listening to CBS News on the radio while hauling a load of trash to the dump (somehow that seems appropriate). They reported that some expert (didn't catch the name) had issued a new warning of dire consequences to come from global warming. He estimates that the world will face severe food shortages within about a hundred years. Whoa! I think I'll run to the market tomorrow and stock up.

He also said that people who are "most vulnerable and least able to adapt" to the adverse effects of global warming will suffer the most. Where do they find these experts? The weak will suffer more than the strong? The poor will suffer more than the wealthy? They should hold a conference to discuss and expand on this guy's thinking.  I'll suggest another twist on his logic:  A person standing in the path of a speeding bullet is more likely to be hurt by the bullet than a person not standing in its path.

I've noticed that there are about three articles per week on global warming in the news feeds that I track on the internet. They seem to follow a particular format. Each article contains at least two elements: a new warning of its consequences and a declaration that the debate of its causes is over. I'm sure there is an organization somewhere that is tasked to pump the articles out.

Glowarm dissenters can take comfort in the fact that the people staffing that organization don't appear to be all that bright.
