Now they say that global warming makes rivers too deep.
David Cameron right to link floods and global warming, say climate scientists | Environment | theguardian.com
In order to be a Guardian reader, it is essential that your brain is completely fried.
And a mere two-and-a-half years since they were hyper-ventilating about permanent drought…..

Yep… and these shit heads are never held to account for their PANIC creating predictions. .. yet… With Ebola these same folks tell us to NOT PANIC… there’s nothing to worry about.. just wash your hands..
AGW has been the perfect weapon for lefty liberals . A way to vent their self loathing of the west and its miraculous achievements and a way to worship, but in their minds scientifically as many are Dawkin groupies but see the rational and revolutionary positives of Islam who of course gave the West all the science it now takes for granted, right.
They also make me die they way they implicitly trust AGW science as unimpeachable evidence and truth yet mistrust every other branch of science -unless of course its proving that capitalism is doing something evil.
I see Monbiot there. Here is what else he said.
To be David Cameron your brain must be completely fried.
It’s almost a requirement for any politician to speak about and believe in Climate Change.,…
Sad…
“almost” ??
It is, in fact, mandatory for a politician to preface any related comment with the ritual “I believe that climate change is real and that humans are contributing to it” mantra.
Actually, in a recent debate in Florida between Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist, Scott was asked that specific question and he answered that since he is not a scientist, he doesn’t feel qualified to comment on that question, but that from the standpoint of energy policy, the most important thing in his view is that electricity remain affordable for the average Floridian.

For leftist politicians
George Moonbeam, your mind must be completely fried.
On this side of the Atlantic, Gov. Jerry Brown (CA) has the license for “Moonbeam”
“Moonbat” is more appropriate for George east of the mid-Atlantic ridge
Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA). Must put in the essentials.
Right, but there really are no functional Republicans left in CA
After Reagan, the R-CA brand devolved to eunichs
As a native, I have to say “Great state, but lost to Socialists”
Also native. I know of what you speak (BTW Geology, 1970 UCSB).
It might get interesting here in CA next year when the moonbeam policies begin to hit people’s pocketbooks at the pump:

Laughed. No one will ever see this.
If global warming makes more ice in the Antarctic and melts all the ice in the Antarctic at the same time, it is easy to make all rivers dry up and overflow at the same time. Magical! That’s what this is.
🙂
“a river runs through it” — whatever the situation, the “climate change” propaganda will say something is wrong with the water — the river will run right through the global warming hysteria at all times
The UK is firmly in the grip of their climastrophists and the Green Blob, witness the UK forestry Commission’s advice on planting drought resistant trees –
from their pdf : http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/FCRN201.pdf
Australian Greens worry that they will look incompetent amongst European communists and US communists. Meanwhile ex-communists in Russia and China, reckon Australian Greens are completely NUTS.

This says it all about the Guardian. They know it and they have no ethics to hold them back.
“The trouble is that the stupid people–who constitute the grand overwhelming majority of this and all other nations–do believe and are moulded and convinced by what they get out of a newspaper..”
– Mark Twain 1873
I’ll see your Mark Twain and raise you a Leo Tolstoy:
“I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.”

And I raise 3 Ronald Reagans: “If you’re explaining, you’re losing.”
“How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.
Great quotes
Around 50% of people in the world are of below average intelligence. 🙂
“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
– Thomas Edison
Today those numbers are approximately 1, 2, and 97.
RTF
I don’t know about that, RTF. Consider all those today (especially those with bogus degrees) who “think they think.”
And who can’t.
Well, maybe. Still, I encounter a huge amount of people who clearly fall into category three. Exhibit A: Twitter.
Same happened in Australia with Flannery sitting in his waterfront home warning us about permanent drought and sea level rise.
By the way, stupidity only goes so far. The author mentioned above was the same guy who went out to a government funded wetlands restoration area (known as Southlake Moor), took photos of himself paddling in a canoe, and then blamed farmers for the flooding.

It seems that most of you here haven’t actually read the article at all, and are simply accepting SG’s assertion that Monbiot ‘got it wrong’.
To say he got it wrong is more than a little disingenuous, it actually leads me to believe that you haven’t read the article at all.
Firstly, at no point in the article does Monbiot state rivers would run dry by now. In fact, the only date that’s thrown in is “by the second half of the 21st Century” – a point that we have not yet reached.
Secondly, it’s not Monbiot who’s making the assertions, he’s quoting from a journal published by the Met Office, and a consultant for New Scientist. Monbiot’s article is based on the assertions of these two sources. Difficult to say actually, that GM got it wrong at all, it’s just reportage and opinion.
Taking the above into account, it does seem to suggest that you are simply ideologically opposed to most of GM’s politics, and paid scant attention to the actual content. Sadly, I think that’s the level that we have come to expect from most right-wingers.
The blog article is a sham, and SG is a dickhead for trying to pull this off.
