Davos Group Worried About "Failure to Adapt to Climate Change"
2013-01-11
Climate change ranked among the top global risks in the annual World Economic Forum survey of more than 1,000 experts released Tuesday.
Experts? In what? I'm an expert, and they didn't ask me.
Obviously you weren't the expert they were looking for...
The group, most associated with its yearly conference in Davos, Switzerland, said leaving environmental issues unaddressed compounded with global economic stress could handcuff policymakers.
And that's only one of the advantages ....
"A sudden and massive collapse on one front is certain to doom the other's chance of developing an effective, long-term solution," the report said of the interplay between the global environment and economy.
Shirley, that was taken out of context. A massive collapse of the envirnoment would doom the economy? Or a collapse of the economy dooms the greenies?
A booming economy also dooms the greenies...
By replacing "rising greenhouse gas emissions" with "the failure to adapt to climate change" as a top global risk, respondents conveyed a "shift in the conversation on the environment from the question of whether our climate is changing to the questions of 'by how much' and 'how quickly,' " the report noted.
Another name-change?
The report said governments should invest in infrastructure upgrades to bolster resiliency to climate change and associated natural disasters.
Give them more control AND more money, knaves!

#11  Pert $$$ grant award controversies aside,
"Green Techs" comes down to how much the US-World Mainstream can take or survive domestically on Earth while the majority or bulk of National, World resources is organized + used by the future OWG-NWO for Deep Space Exploration + Colonization.

ITS NOT GONNA MEAN DIDDLY SQUAT IFF ALL THE PERT MODELS, THEORIES ARE JUST WRONG ANDOR "OVER-POLITICIZED/CORRUPTED" ABOUT SOLAR ACTIVITY + THE SUN ENTERS SUDDEN OR EARLY "RED GIANT" PHASE" + BEGINS TO EXPAND TO UNKNOWN DIMENSIONS IN THE NEAR-TERM.

The mighty OWG Govts-Perts consensus is that there is no consensus - they do, however, "agree to disagree" forever.

#10  tipper, the ironic bit about Gore's new money is that the oil ticks thought they would get influence through the investment. If we can keep that from happening (and it will take vigilance) that's a little the west has recouped from them in exchange for billions and blood we've spent.

#9  Yes, there are our 'pets' that have also adapted to become our 'friends' who travel with us. Don't forget the, not quite Tribble, rat as well.

#7  There are many creatures who are larger, quicker, and stronger, but none roam the climatic expanse of the planet like man.

Not entirely true.

Woof!

#3  a Flat graph for 20 years falsifies exponential warming theories.

Oops, they'll have to try some other lie to enact global slavery.

#2  It's over. Global Warming (renamed climate change due to the entirely predictable lack of actual warming) has run its course. It'll take a decade to undo the damage, and there will be a new cause celeb long before that, but the tide has turned. It has always been hocus pocus and too many people know that now.

#1  Davos Group Worried About "Failure to Adapt to Climate Change"..to maintain their collective power and positions.

FIFY. Mankind has adapted to multiple climate changes for the last 50,000 years. We're still here living from the arctic to the equator, from islands to mountain tops, from rain forests to deserts. There are many creatures who are larger, quicker, and stronger, but none roam the climatic expanse of the planet like man.
