More insanity from USA climate hoax envoy Todd Stern

The evidence of global warming is extraordinarily strong, the threat of dangerous climate impacts is high, and the risk of catastrophe is real. These are conclusions shared by the best and brightest of the global scientific community, including our own National Academy of Sciences. Whether we look at the rise in global temperature; the drumbeat of warmest-ever years and decades; the clear shift in precipitation patterns; the dramatic shrinking of both mountain glaciers and Arctic sea ice; the accelerating rise in sea level; the acidification of our oceans; or the rapid increase in forest fires, the tale told by the evidence is the same and it is compelling.

These things matter. They warn of droughts and floods and extreme storms. They warn of water shortages and food shortages. They warn of a world that 11 retired generals and admirals wrote about in 2007, in which climate change becomes a “force multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world.” Think of the killing heat wave, drought and fires in Russia last summer. Think of the monumental floods in Pakistan. Think of New Orleans. These are the kinds of devastation global warming is predicted to bring.
