Flying-Pig Alert: More Than 125 Environmentalist Groups Blast UN For Global Warming Alarmism…

(Forbes) — If you haven’t yet heard, hell froze over last week. Oddly enough, this is likely to be bad news for a warming planet.

Last Monday, more than 125 environmental groups sent a scathing letter to Rajendra Pachauri, the Nobel prize-winning head of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the institutional nerve center within the United Nations’ global-warming juggernaut.

The letter accused the IPCC of taking climate change ‘too’ seriously. In particular, the letter argued that the IPCC had no authority to sponsor a small meeting of climate scientists taking place tomorrow in Lima, Peru. The meeting will consider so-called “geo-engineering” options for responding to worst-case scenarios of catastrophic climate change.

By attacking the IPCC for responding to the risks of climate change too aggressively, the letter marks a major pivot in the politics of climate change, which have officially crossed into the twilight zone.

Over the past month, a series of reports have surfaced in the news media speculating about the significance of a small meeting of climate scientists sponsored by the IPCC taking place next week in Lima, Peru.

The meeting, which the IPCC organized, will evaluate the feasibility of so-called “geo-engineering” strategies to avoid or mitigate the adverse impacts of worst-case scenario climate change.

The term “geo-engineering” is a portmanteau used to describe two broad technical strategies “for the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the planetary environment,” according to the 2009 report by the United Kingdom’s Royal Society.

    “geo-engineering”

    ——–

    Don’t be fooled. This is ‘Social Engineering’.

    They are blaming climate change on human behavior, after all.

    Forbes says those groups sending scathing letters to the UN for their alarmism is “bad for a warming planet”. They put their stinking bias right out front in this article.

    “Politicized Science” is not science at all, it’s based on a dishonest interpretation of data or even a falsification of data so that they can get government money to continue their “bogus science”. The motivation for this is Money, plain and simple.

    Would “scientists” lie for money? Would Politicians lie for money? If you can answer “yes” to these questions, then you can agree that this sort of thing is possible. It’s not just “possible” in this case, this is what is happening.

    I am remembering an old margarine commercial where it says “Its not nice to fool Mother Nature” !!!!!!!! I am always appalled when these “Warmers” try & convince the world of their crappy science & such. Its about time we threw Gore & his ilk out of the business they created to tax the shit out of the rest of us so they can rule the world under the guise of saving the planet. Snake Oil Smucks !!!!!!!!

    This group wants to send particles or devices into space to block the sun.
    What could possibly go wrong with that?

    Seriously, ANYBODY who tries to do any “geo-engineering” needs to have an airstrike destroy any attempt they might make.

    “like what? jump up and down and stamp your feet? what do these piddling humans think they can to do to AFFECT the climate in this way?”

    In the 1970s it was seriously considered to spray huge quantities of soot on the growing glaciers and polar ice caps to cause them to melt in order to stop the coming ice age, reverse global cooling, and prevent sea levels from falling by several meters…
