A metaphor if you will:
the earth is like a giant ape let’s say, and human beings are like flies. A couple flies will not bug the ape too much, but enough of the on him, yes he is surely going to try and swat them away. We are bleeding the earth dry like a parasite, in a million years a new species will be sending a probe to earth from somewhere else, searching for clues to see if there was ever life on this planet.

It’s not surprising that the UN would make a statement like “the world is killing its people”. Ban Ki-Moon believes in gaia, the earth spirit.
This is born out by Junksicences own past documents. http://www.junkscience.com/feb07.html (search for “Gaia in the U.N.’s Meditation Room” ). lots of other crazy articles there too.

Leaders of this world have lost it.

Has anyone recited the old Soviet Sceptic saying that there’s no truth in Pravda (Pravda, after all, is the Russian word for truth) ? It was paired with there’s no news in Isvestia – so you now know the Russian word for news, too.

Hah! I told you Global Warming was a joke.

These numbers don’t even begin to compare with the number of people I’ve killed playing Medal of Honor. And it definitely can’t touch my kill total from Golden Eye. And these have all come in under 10 years.

I mean as far as comparisons between totally fictitious goes, this article should be about ME. In the world of fiction and fantasy, I am a much much bigger threat to your existence than Global Warming.

In the real world, the envirowackos should go after the person that wasted paper writing this story…

I’d rather take my chances with nature. In the 20th century, governments murdered upwards of 200 million of their OWN citizens.

Excuse to break up the ice here at the contentful discussion over scientific fuss-over arguments you’re having, but me thinks Earth Begins to Kill People for Changing It’s Climate is rather narrowly scoped. See, the humans isn’t the only dwellers of this planet, speaking of animalia kingdom. And earth obviously doesn’t kill people or any other species without no particular reasons.

Remember this fello homo, 6 billions years of age isn’t a short life span. And yes, planet earth has to defend herself from the cruelty of humans’ civilizations inasmuch as from the universe’s ecosystem.

You're right about the other articles on that page. eg. This story hints that the US created an earthquake in Iraq that led to the Asian Tsunami with its subtitle US forces supposedly used a secret weapon in Iraq, which resulted in a powerful earthquake, but we learn in the final paragraph that the earthquake was natural. On that link we are asked to go to the Pravda.ru forum. The place where truth hurts. I wonder if they understand that translation.

In 1851, NYT would probably have been owned by Abolitionists, who, if they weren’t Republicans then, would be in a few years.

Raymond was a Whig, actually (the Republican Party wasn’t around then), but, yes, from the radical antislavery end of that party, and, yes, he was in on the founding of the GOP (1854).

Ophiuchus,

The story isn’t as important as the fact that the UN is taking an obviously contrived “scientific” report and using it for political and financial reasons. This is an example of what you referred to on 07/05 as “this ridiculous tale” of the “common fallacy that scientists are willfully distorting the science of AGW.”

You can argue that it is the UN who is distorting the science who created this report. Anything that purports to connect climate change to natural disasters is at least playing scientist.

Andrew: My comment about the NY Times was an allusion to their Democratic party bias and AGW bias. Pravda was to the Communist party what the NY Times is to the Democratic party. Science at both Pravda and the NY Times is reported with political bias.

To Christopher: Skeptics always have more fun! True Believers know that Laughter has been forbidden by the Prophet, because of course we are all about to be Punished for our Sins and we must Repent! Repent! Repent! from our wicked ways or we will all Perish in Flame!

I mean how could anyone be joyful when Perishment in Flames is waiting just around the corner, and they know it’s their duty to evangelize the wicked, unbelieving world? Laughter is just one more sympton of what wicked, wicked, godless, gaialess people these skeptics are.

Of course, the faithful are doing comedy routines all the time, they just don’t know it. “Why are you talking about some Pravda article?” = “Pay No Attention to that Man behind the Curtain! I am the Great and Powerful OZ!!!”

And then there’s the mental picture of Hansen as Sgt. Schultz when his early data was used to support global cooling: “I know Nut-ink! I know Nut-ink!!!”

I tell you, there’s a gold mine of material out there!
