Oxfam predicts millions more victims of climate change
LONDON, April 21 (AFP) Apr 21, 2009DC Republican Examiner: Only 34% Now Believe Global Warming Caused By Human Activity
Hundreds of millions of people will become victims of climate change-related disasters over the next six years, Oxfam said Tuesday, urging governments to change the way they respond to such events.
The British-based aid and development charity estimated the number of people affected by climatic disasters would rise by 54 percent to 375 million people a year on average by 2015, based on data on similar disasters since 1980.

The report, "The Right to Survive", says governments
can take action to mitigate the effect of climatic disasters, citing
investment by Bangladesh in cyclone protection measures which has
reduced the death toll from storms.
We are down to the lunatic fringe. Most normal adults hold the shockingly controversial opinion that Global Warming is caused by normal planetary temperature cycles.Minister's global warming alarm drowned by dodgy data | The Australian

That is a shift of a whopping 14% in one year.
Unfortunately, the President and Congress are card-carrying members of the Global Warming Hoax Club and we and our economy are about to be decimated with a Cap and Trade tax designed to reduce a planetary condition we didn't cause and one that we can't fix.
Peter Garrett, on ABC1's Lateline on April 6, has sea levels rising way over his head, aided and abetted by Tony Jones
JONES: Here is something that is new: the report of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The most scary thing it says is the upper level of those rises in global sea level could be as much as 6m - 6m - by the end of the century.
Garrett: Look, I haven't seen that report yet, Tony, but I don't think there's any doubt those kinds of projections and scenarios are consistent with what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change brought forward over the last couple of years. And as more scientists do more work on potential climate change impacts, we're likely to be presented with these kinds of scenarios.
