Exhibit Shows Grim Vision of Climate Chaos

(AP)  Artists in London are painting a grim vision of a globe ravaged by climate change.

Among the 63 works on display at the Royal Academy are a print of a lonesome-looking tree clinging to a tiny island amid a yawning ocean and a huge cage-like globe clad in glowering red neon.

The co-curator of the exhibition at the Royal Academy, Kathleen Soriano, says the exhibit is "neither a 'call to arms' or political in anyway."

She says the exhibit is an effort to imagine the world of tomorrow "not in a fatalistic way but with hope and a sense of care for our present and future."

GSK Contemporary's "Earth: Art of a changing world" runs until Jan 31.

Finally the climate change / global warming scam has been exposed for the lie that it is. The UN has been looking for a way to demand payment from the productive nations of the world. The climate change scheme may be the perfect tool to extract huge payments. Watch and hang onto your wallets as the theatre of "mad" science reaches its climax. All the stories of future doom & gloom, will be followed by the "real" agenda of money and power. The United Nations will demand huge payments, strict regulation, and severe penalties for all the "non-believers". The demands for more money and continuous huge payments into the UN bottomless money pot will be never ending. The scam & scheme has been exposed and now the rats are on the run to cover up the damage.

I think the "denial" being referred to is the feasibility of 1,000,000,000 people choosing to die from lack of water and not invade other countries for access to it.

This is perhaps the major cause of future political instability that we can identify. It probably dwarfs fundamentalist terrorism, although the two will probably combine to create an unholy mess for our children, let alone our grandchildren.

Enzymes that accelerate carbon C-C bonding.

Use enzymes to accelerate that build C-C bonds to diminish CO2 in air (Atmosphere) and water (oceans and lakes).
These enzymes should be delivered in the most turbulent conditions possible (strong storms, hurricanes, tornadoes).
===================================================================
Let me guess ... The answer to the "How do we put 4 elephants into
a Volkswagen" question ...
2 in front ... 2 in back.
BRILLIANT!
What enzymes are you talking about?
How are they produced?
In what quantities can they be produced?
Capturing carbon is definitely important ....

LOWERING THE PRODUCTION OF IT IS >>>MORE<<< IMPORTANT.

Global warming deniers are retards, pure and simple.

[ubrew12]

My arguments with GW deniers show a pattern that goes something like this:

me: 'Solar output hasn't changed in 30 years'
them: 'Al Gore flies around in a private jet'
me: 'CO2 levels are going up 10 times faster than at any time in the ice-core record'
them: 'Phil Jones has an Anger Management problem'
me: 'Greenland has dumped 1500 gigatons of ice into the ocean since 2000'
them: 'Michael Mann wears polka-dotted underwear'

The reason for these conversations is that they are trained by Faux News to treat the messenger as the message. They find it impossible to get out of this way of thinking. And so, here we are, reading through someone else's private emails...

(just kidding, deniers! Luv ya!)

1501 gigatons of snow have fallen on Greenland since 2000. By the way ... why is it called Greenland?

[ubrew12]

The GRACE polar orbiting satellite has measured Greenlands net mass (snow fall included). Since 2000, that mass has changed by -1500 gigatons. Last year, it changed -300 gigatons, and each year, it loses 10% more mass than it lost the year before, i.e. in about 5 years, it'll be losing 600 gigatons of mass a year.

I expect its called Greenland because in 1000AD about 3000 Vikings made their home on its southern coast. They never ventured into its interior, where a 3 mile thick ice shelf (which is now melting) remained unchanged since the last ice age.

The only good thing about the climate change scam was that it caused the public to demand alternatives to polluting forms of power. Now that the AGW hoax is unraveling, I fear that people may feel it is OK to go back to the "old days" of using all the coal, oil, and gas they can get. Fossil fuels will not last forever. Fossil fuels pollute (CO2 is and always was the least of their problems). The demand for oil to produce gasoline will keep us beholden to hostile countries who sell us the oil even as we try to convince them not to build nuclear weapons or cater to global jihadists.
Yes, Gore is a crook. Yes, the IPCC is a gang of criminals who served their money-grubbing masters in the UN well. But for all the evil wrought by the AGW scam, it had the redeeming quality of being the one thing that seemed to get peoples' attention enough to start changing the way we generate power. I just hope that one trend will survive the death of the climate change fiasco.

Here's another free ad campaign (with pictures) for the Copenhagen Summit. Every effort will be made to "Deny the Lie" of global warming. The Copenhagen Summit will play with percentages about emission control, then the real agenda of money & power will surface. The scheme will attempt to restrict, control, and tax industries, primarily in the US. All the parties present will be happy to lay most of the bill for this scam in the lap of the American working men & women. Watch and hang onto your wallet as the climate change cult gathers to collect as much money as possible for the bottomless UN money pot.

Well said. Angry, asinine, arrogant and stupid people are abundant. Your post covered most of their pathetic ignorance.

If anyone in their right mind believes that the oil an coal industries are going to trade in their Trillions(?) of Dollars(?) worth of sub-surface inventories, recovery rigs, mining equipment, refining and processing facilities, marketing outlets, jobs, etc., for some windmills on a hill, they must be as crazy as the oil and coal industries specious ad campaigns indicate they think we are.
Let?s get OFF the emphasis on ?Climate Change? and FOCUS on what we Know for sure. What we can See and Smell -and will soon be able to taste out of our spigots! And what the ?Special Interest? Polluters want to distract us away from. I.e., POLLUTION!
We will never correct climate change by mandating a severe reduction in greenhouse gases thru a comparable reduction in the use of coal or oil, because the oil and coal industries won?t have it. In fact, it is not likely that we can correct ?Climate Change? at all. Continued allusions to other forms of energy, e.g., wind, bio-fuels, solar, to replace the Multi-Trillion$ oil and coal industries, are nothing more than distractions to keep the ?stupids? in a: ?Hey, everything is really alright?, frame of mind!
Pollutants are already firmly in place and growing by the hour. Each new dumping by Special Interests is adding exponentially to our growing environmental decline. Pesticides, coal ash, chemical and radioactive wastes, by-products and end-products of all the above -and God knows what else, continue to move into out streams, rivers and oceans. This in addition to their being forced downward into our water tables, well waters and aquifers by heavy rains and floods.
It is only a question of time until the old saw: "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.", becomes a reality! Along with: ?Air, air everywhere, but all too thick to breath!?
As a scientist, I know that all of the above is already in place and too late to stop. Slow them up, maybe? Stop them, Not a chance! However, we still may have a chance to slow it. As a Realist, I also know that to accomplish this, our national debt would reach beyond calculation. Unemployment numbers would precipitate social chaos.
The prevailing feeling seems to be that it is better to die on the job than to die while looking for a job that doesn?t exist. Or, more succinctly, ?Better no planet than a Planet of the unemployed." The alternatives are, of course: Keep dumping to keep ?Special Interests? happy, keep our debt down, keep people working, keep polluting and wait for the inevitable, devastating results.
I don't think we will be kept in suspense too long!
