End of World Tomorrow! ...Europe hardest hit...

This from here:

The report was issued at the agency's headquarters in Copenhagen, coinciding with the first full day of debate at key UN talks on curbing the greenhouse gases that stoke global warming. In the 20th century, the average global temperature rose 0.7 C (1.25 F) as a result of burning coal, gas and coal -- the carbon fuels that are mainly to blame for the rise.

But the rise in Europe was 0.95 C (1.71 F), 35 percent higher, because of the continent's vulnerable location and smaller land mass, the EAA said. "Without effective action over several decades, global warming will see ice sheets melting in the north and the spread of deserts from the south. The continent's population could effectively be concentrated in the centre," EAA Executive Director Jacqueline McGlade said.

The European Union is striving to limit the overall global rise in temperature to 2 C (3.6 F) by implementing the UN's Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse-gas pollution and encouraging the use of cleaner resources. But McGlade warned: "Even if we constrain global warming to the EU target of a two-degree (Celsius) increase, we will be living in atmospheric conditions that human beings have never experienced. Deeper cuts in emissions are needed."

Cats sleeping with dogs, democrats making it with republicans---OOOOOhhh the humanity!!!!

Curiously missing from their argument, however, are the temperature records from, say, five, ten, twenty, millenia ago, try even from a century and a half ago!

And what the hell got us out of our last ice age? Was it dinosaur flatulence? Were there wooly mammoths tooling around in stone-age SUVs?

Were Fred and Barney responsible for the global warming that took us out of the last ice age?? Or were their irresponsible driving habits responsible for the ice age itself?!?

Nahh... must have been something Bush did.
