Alarmist Mitchell Anderson | Our Friend CO2
While CO2 does not stink or make your eyes burn – it is definitely dangerous in the amounts now emitted around the world:

* Climate change from burning fossil fuels has been identified by experts as a greater threat to humanity than global terrorism.
* Leading researchers testified before Congress just last month that large parts of the United States may be rendered an uninhabitable wasteland – perhaps within the next ninety years.
* Dr. Nina Fedoroff, the chief scientist for the US State Department testified last week that carbon-driven climate change could leave one billion in famine in only forty years.

But the UN released a document outlining an unprecedented amount of detail in terms of the anticipated impact of the next climate deal. The 16-page document, entitled Information Note by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change provides a good insight into what it is that the negotiators -and sooner or later, we all- are believed to be up against.

But despite all that, the document is a shocking read in places. The Note falls nothing short of predicting the biggest overhaul of the global economy ever. Re-establishing a global economy order will involve millions of job losses worldwide as industry relocates to areas with less stringent environmental rules.
