Why climate silliness matters?

[billc]

Here is an article that discusses the cost, in human lives, that comes about financing the man made global warming silliness you see around the world. Real people are suffering now while billions of dollars are sent down a rat hole of politically correct moralizing...

The Canadian government is providing what might appear to be a generous $142 million to help victims of drought and famine in East Africa. Australia has also committed over $103 million. That is certainly far more money than either China or Saudi Arabia — the latter situated just across the Red Sea from the disaster area — are contributing. But it pales in comparison with what Canada and Australia are paying to fulfill their entirely voluntary Copenhagen Accord climate change commitments. Australia committed $599 million and Canada $1.2 billion between 2010 and 2012.
Both nations have already donated the first third of this commitment, an amount that is almost exactly the current shortfall in the international Horn of Africa Drought fund, a deficit that may lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people if it is not rectified.
The Copenhagen Accord specified that contributions should be split 50-50 between helping people adapt to climate change and stopping (or “mitigating&#8221 climate change. Australia is generally following this formula, but 90% of Canada’s first $400 million donation is dedicated entirely to mitigation.

All the while, aid agencies remain drastically underfunded, even in the midst of East Africa’s worst famine in decades. Developing countries are pressured by eco-activists, media, and the UN to enable impractical “climate-friendly” energy policies that even developed nations cannot afford. At the same time, millions of the world’s poor lack access to electricity, running water, and basic sanitation.
And what is the world getting in return for this sacrifice? If the science being relied upon by the governments and the UN were correct, and all the countries of the world that have emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol actually met their targets, then 0.05 degrees Celsius of warming might end up being prevented by 2050. In other words, trillions of dollars of expenditure will be wasted for an impact on climate that is not even measurable.
Clearly, the time has long since passed to take an entirely different approach to the climate hazard issue. We need to pull out the arrow, address the real wound, and leave learning more about the possible assailant to another day.
Despite the demonstrated failure of the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming, a very real climate problem does exist. It is the ongoing risk associated with natural climatic variations. This includes short-term events such as floods and cyclones, intermediate scale events such as drought, and longer-term warming and cooling trends.

1. climate warming is a fact, only the idiots say it's not.

2. The arguments between scientists are whether global warming is a natural occurance or a man made one, not whether it's happening or not.

3. What are YOU doing to give help to those who need it?

And global cooling is also a fact. They happen in cycles. Yes, the question is if man has any influence on the climate of the planet...now, if the supporters of man made global warming would just stop destroying data, and smearing those who simply question their data out of the love of true scientific inquiry, we might find out what is really going on.

I give a great deal to charity, do you need some help?

Very amusing, haha.

I don't need much help to 'fing' things out, but I think you might.

Fixed it. Thanks.
