The most authoritative scientific report on climate change says with 90% certainty that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are driving climate change. The report, from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says the rise in global temperatures could be as high as 6.4°C by 2100. The report also predicts sea level rises and increases in hurricanes. The new IPCC report is the work of 3750 climate experts, who have spent six years reviewing all the available climate research. So GW reasearch has porc enough to feed 3,750 climate "experts" kept busy for 6 years, that ain't bad at all! Better than having them unemployed, I guess. I just wonder who funds their work??

The end is near "The networks on Wednesday, without any sense of any questions about the media-fueled scientific 'consensus,' continued their hyperbolic panic over the supposed dire threat of global warming," the Media Research Center's Brent Baker writes at www.mrc.org. "ABC's 'Good Morning America' displayed this on-screen throughout a report from weather reader Sam Champion: 'Will Billions Die from Global Warming?' Champion eagerly relayed how the upcoming report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 'will estimate that between 1.1 and 3.2 billion people will suffer from water shortage problems by 2080. That's not your grandchildren, that's your children. And between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry.' "Over on NBC's 'Today,' co-host Matt Lauer warned of 'a controversy in Washington over what literally could be the end of the world as we know it. Did the Bush administration freeze out scientists trying to sound the alarm on global warming?' CNN's 'Larry King Live' on Wednesday night featured a panel under the on-screen heading: 'Could Global Warming Destroy Earth?' "
