The New Nostradamus of the North: UNEP is scaremongering on the eve of the megalomaniac Rio+20 conference

The megalomaniac UN Rio+20 conference is soon to open its doors in Rio de Janeiro.

"Their population predictions are extremely unlikely, and their climate predictions are always hypothetical."
