U.N. Refudiates Global Warming

[pscot]

You have to give them credit for originality

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations (U.N.) is regarded by the believers in anthropogenic global warming (warmists) as a definitive authority on climate change. That the reports issued by the IPCC are filled with errors, are internally inconsistent, and have consistently and laughably backtracked from their own conclusions (as widely reported in AT) seems not to have cooled warmists' ardor. Nor, it seems, have warmists lost any love for the totalitarian, national sovereignty-sapping U.N.


Now comes another report, from the very same U.N. so beloved and relied upon by the warmists, that tells a different story.

The Population Division recently released the 2012 Revision, its most recent update to the World Population Prospects, as its twenty-third round of global demographic estimates and projections. (By contrast, the IPCC is still working on its fifth round.) The 2012 Revision includes yearly population projections for 233 countries beginning in the year 2010 and continuing each year for 90 years until 2100. Eight different scenarios are presented, representing different levels of fertility, migration, and mortality. Might some indication of the effects of so-called global warming lie inside?


The answer is yes. A close look at the fortunes of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) in the 2012 Revision unmasks the folly of global warming. AOSIS is an intergovernmental organization of low-lying coastal and small island countries, established in 1990 to address global warming and climate change. One would expect that these low-lying island nations would be the most strongly affected by the global warming and sea level rises predicted by the warmist IPCC and that their populations would experience dramatic reductions during the 21st century.


Unfortunately for the warmists, the 2012 Revision demonstrates the opposite. The countries of AOSIS grow +25.2 percent in population through 2100, giving a lie to the warmist claims that they are threatened by global warming and are rapidly sinking beneath the waves. Even the infamous Indian Ocean islands that include the Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, and Comoros, whose very existence was said to be threatened by global warming according to 2007 Nobel Peace Prize co-winners Al Gore and Rolph Poyet, are predicted in the 2012 Revision to increase in population by a robust +75.1 percent throughout the 21st century (by contrast, the global population growth rate during the same time period is +56.9 percent, while ex-Africa it is only +13.3 percent). Thus, it is closer to the truth to state that AOSIS thrives during the period of so-called global warming, the exact opposite of what is predicted by the liberal warmist catechism. Thus, the U.N.'s own population studies soundly repudiate its own so-called global warming studies.

1. You realize "refudiate" isn't a real word.

It's a Palinism.

[NoOneMan]

3. Before seeing your post, my first thought was the writing was Palinesque

4. Ah.

[dballance]

6. Lol. I scanned the other titles on the site. Def. RW bias.

Totally a cherry-picking RW site. And, yes, Palineque word salad sentences.

[longship]

2. Warmists? First time I've heard that one.

I think we ought to embrace that term.

We ought to start calling them warmist deniers.

How's that sound?

5. I don't see how we can

now that the UN has copped out. I mean, like, they're on to us.
