UN Scrubs Another Bogus Global Warming Prediction From Its Website…
Back in 2001 the UN was screeching about “global warming” ravaging Africa. Apparently their predictions didn’t come true so guess where the story went: Down the memory hole. And in the UN’s typical incompetent fashion they forgot to scrub it from Google cache. Here’s a screen shot.
Nairobi, 22 February 2001 — Rising levels of disease, famine and poverty are forecast for Africa by scientists studying the impacts of global warming.
A report, published today (MON) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says heavy, monsoon-like, rains and higher temperatures will favour the breeding of disease-carrying mosquitoes, allowing them to thrive at higher altitudes.
“Higher temperatures, heavier rainfall and changes in climate variability would encourage insect carriers of some infectious diseases to multiply and move further afield,” says the report by the IPCC’s Working
Group II.
The report cites how malaria cases in the highland area of Rwanda have increased by 337 per cent in recent years with 80 per cent of the climb linked with changes in temperature and rainfall which improved breeding conditions for malaria-carrying mosquitoes. A similar link has been reported in Zimbabwe.

Why is this organization still based on our shores? Throw this rot pile out of this country and resign from it.
Nothing to see, move along.
The UN is unsustainable and we must shut it down. Next month they will be in Brazil wasting billions of dollars for stuff that they could discuss via a computer network. There are many countries leaving the UN because its simply old ideas that are not applicable for today. It serves mostly to make more enemies for America. Our tax dollars are needed right here at home for our debts that are caused by organizations like the UN, Foreign Aid and NATO and other unsustainable obsolete groups.
There is only one reason why africa sux.
Remember,Im a racist
DDT!!!!!
global warming is B.S., end of story.
What Eynav said.
Were disease-carrying mosquitoes formerly effectively controlled by a certain chemical that was banned about 3 decades ago?
Could that be related to the 300+ percent increase?
Am I allowed to ask these questions?
“Rising levels of disease, famine and poverty are forecast for Africa by scientists studying the impacts of STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES OF INCOMPETENT GLOBAL BEAUROCRACIES
there fixed it.
{dont’ know how to do that cross out thingie}
(the thing that scares me the most is are they INTENTIONALLY CAUSING THESE THINGS?)
Funny how most of the regular people here know why there was a 337% rise in the incidence of malaria and yet, the UN wants to blame it on global warming. Putzes!
I love me some interwebs – where stupid predictions never die.
The bitch that got DDT outlawed is responsible for every death from malaria. Not global warbling.
