Now That's What You Call Global Warming!

A climate change warning so preposterous that even the BBC writer couldn't suppress a laugh.

"Global climate change represents a threat of similar proportions' to that of thermonuclear Armageddon at the height of the Cold War!"

A little background:

A gathering of 20 Nobel Prize winners, calling itself the St James's Palace Nobel Laureate Symposium, has released a memorandum stating that 'Global climate change represents a threat of similar proportions' to that of thermonuclear armageddon at the height of the Cold War.

The memorandum, agreed by laureates in fields as diverse as physics, economics, peace and literature, identified three 'key requirements' for the world to avoid global warming of more than 2°C and associated 'unmanageable climate risks'.

The writer, Richard Cable, said the goals of the group are "unremarkable" in that they mirror the efforts of other assemblies of global warming alarmists. But he added:

It's fair to say that the facts relating to the outcome of tossing multi-megaton-yield nuclear warheads around the planet are a little more cut and dried than those relating to climate change.

... it's probably fair to say that the average person in the street may view the comparison of carbon emissions with things that can vapourise a major city in seconds as unhelpfully alarmist and perhaps just a little bit silly.

Or maybe a whole lot silly.
