Alarmist Predictions

Happy New Year. Probably.

With only hours left in 2011, John Stoke’s apocalyptic prediction that global warming would kill 4.5 billion of us by tomorrow looks unlikely.

I just checked the news and Australia is still there (with minutes of 2011 left). I think we’re gonna make it.

You can count-down the last moments of mankind on Gaia in the left sidebar, unless Stokes is just another alarmist fool who liked to make crazy 5-year predictions to scare people and then hope everyone had forgotten by the due date. Heh.

the final countdown

Assuming there is no last minute surprise attack by pesky methane clathrates, the Daily Bayonet wishes you a safe and happy 2012.

    LOL.

    The original Greek for Apocalypse is better translated “Revelation”, or “Enlightenment”.

    In a small way, we’ve all been enlightened by the silliness we see here. That is, if we accept the enlightenment when it comes our way.

    We only have to wait 7 months for the next climate prediction fail :

    From 2007:
    ” The Arctic is screaming” says Mark Serreze, senior scientist at the government’s snow and ice data center in Boulder, Colorado

    “This week, after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”

    Ya gotta love the use of analytical non-emotive language by a senior scientist :)

    My family seem to have escaped the Apocalypse (although I can’t find the cat).

    Skeleton crews must be working at the power company and telephone monopoly, as services are normal, even as they struggle to bury their fallen comrades (about 3 dead for each survivor), and, miracles, a truck has just pulled up from the bakery with fresh bread! How do they do it, in the midst of such devastation and sorrow. My hat goes off to them.

    Ah, and there’s the cat — must have smelt the food.

    -if there’s one thing lefties can’t stand, it’s ridicule.

    Sure. True enough. But it would be more satisfying to kick em in the nuts.

  • “Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelarates into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe.”

    Unfortunately, the sentence reads by 2012, which means that there are another 365 days for the methane to burp. Enjoy the New Year and live as if 2012 will be the last year of your life.

  • Damn, now I have to wait three years for another AlGore fail.

    Happy New Year, DB. Though, we south of the border won’t really know until November. :-)

    This is the amusing part of the AGW alarmist, demented hippies pogrom er program. The real scary part is the relentless hammering and beating of the drums by the lefties and the globalists. One of the ‘intercepted’ Climategate 2 emails from the World Bank to Phil Jones emphasizes that the agenda will go forward regardless of the science. Fun times ahead.

    Happy New Year to the Skewerer in Chief, and to all the commenters.

    3.30 am on 1st January 2012 here in Australia, and it’s a warm summer’s night.
    Nope, no Apocalypse yet . . . . .

    A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you. Keep smiting the Ungodly by laughing at them -if there’s one thing lefties can’t stand, it’s ridicule.
