Prophecies by Nostradamus and Climate Central - NYTimes.com
“Global Weirdness: Severe Storms, Deadly Heat Waves, Relentless Drought, Rising Seas, and the Weather of the Future,” a slim and elegant book written by the scientists and journalists with a nonpartisan organization called Climate Central, is an antidote of sorts to “The Prophecies.”
That is, it’s a book, written in the kind of plain English of which Strunk and White would approve, that lays out what we know about climate change while hewing to the facts and taking great care to avoid bias and hysteria.
It looks forward to likely outcomes for Earth and its people. How high is the water likely to rise? (Two to six feet by 2100.) Will malaria and dengue fever begin to plague us in the Northeast? (Very possibly.) Are scientists really proposing that we halt the warming by shooting flotillas of mirrors into low orbit around the earth? (Yep.)
“Global Weirdness” is not written in demonic quatrains, but it is 500 times scarier than Nostradamus.

Nostradamus' vague, ambiguous, questionably interpretted ramblings are scary? To whom? Only to the truly neurotic.
Why the eff do we pay attention to these non-partisian NGOs?
I bet many of them are funded by the left, Soros, and Rockefeller
"nonpartisan organization" is a meme they keep using to promote Climate Central. They were shilling this book on The Weather Channel a while back and they kept hammering that point.

Why don't you just ask the Rockefellers?
