“Most of the predictions [in Population Bomb] have proved correct.”
The world’s most renowned population analyst has called for a massive reduction in the number of humans and for natural resources to be redistributed from the rich to the poor.

This is surprising, because we have all been dead since the 1970s.

BOZEMAN, Mont.—Locked in frozen vaults on Antarctica and Greenland, a lost world of ancient creatures awaits another chance at life. Like a time-capsule from the distant past, the polar ice sheets offer a glimpse of tiny organisms that may have been trapped there longer than modern humans have walked the planet, biding their time until conditions change and set them free again.
With that ice melting at an alarming rate, those conditions could soon be at hand. Masses of bacteria and other microbes – some of which the world hasn’t seen since the Middle Pleistocene, a previous period of major climate change about 750,000 years ago – will make their way back into the environment.
Melting Glaciers Liberate Ancient Microbes: Scientific American
The only ice that is melting at an alarming rate is the brain freeze between their ears. Here is a story from 1900.
all samples of water, whether taken from the surface of the sea or at a great depth, or from a glacier, or obtained by melting snow or ice, were found to contain bacteria, although in very small numbers. At the surface of the sea Levin found one germ for each 11 cc. (three drachms) of water-a quantity of germ-life which is absolutely insignificant.

A spokeswoman for Times Atlas defended the 15% figure and the new map. “We are the best there is. We are confident of the data we have used and of the cartography. We use data supplied by the US Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. They use radar techniques to measure the permanent ice. We have compared the extent of the ice surface in 1999 with that of 2011. Our data shows that it has reduced by 15%. That’s categorical,” she said.
Michelle Obama: “Fantasy” Is To Walk Out WH “And Just Keep Walking”
“It is hard to sneak around and do what you want,” Michelle Obama said today. “I have done it a couple of times. But you know one fantasy I have, and the Secret Service they keep looking at me because they think I might actually do it, is to walk right out the front door and just keep walking.”

21 Apr 1939 – WORLD CLIMATE CHANGING Scientists Puzzled
Hansen has been a busy boy, scrambling to erase Arctic history from 1910 to 1945 – because the facts obliterate his life’s work and reputation.
People have accused me of cherry-picking Arctic ice extent. The idea being that ice may be pervasive now, but the trend is way down.
That is like saying that you have been rapidly drawing down your bank account and are almost bankrupt, but your balance just happens to be above average right now.
Makes sense if you have the IQ of a turnip.

In the US, we rely on stupidity and a recognition that Obama is doing more damage to the US than any terrorist could possibly do. Why would a terrorist want to hurt his re-election chances?
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.
The incident has been garnering increasing media and online attention since the child’s mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration is defending its agents, despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.
The child’s grandmother, Lori Croft, told The Associated Press that Brademeyer and her daughter, Isabella, initially passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident. The girl then ran over to briefly hug Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm, and that’s when TSA agents insisted the girl undergo a physical pat-down.
Isabella had just learned about “stranger danger” at school, her grandmother said, adding that the girl was afraid and unsure about what was going on.
“She started to cry, saying ‘No I don’t want to,’ and when we tried talking to her she ran,” Croft said. “They yelled, ‘We are going to shut down the airport if you don’t grab her.'”

It’s Holy Week in the Arctic Circle
A spiritual dimension to global warming can transform it into one of faith and discipleship. This is demonstrated by the Rev. Dr. Jim Ball, author of “Global Warming and the Risen Lord: Christian Discipleship and Climate Change.” How appropriate a title and theme at Easter!
Another spiritual guide is: “A Climate for Change: Global Facts for Faith-based Decisions,” written by the Rev. Dr. Andrew Farley, an evangelical Christian pastor and Dr. Katherine Hayhoe, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in Science and a committed Christian. They have put global warming on the world map for all with eyes to see.
