Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.
During the European heat wave of 2003 that killed tens of thousands, the temperature in parts of France hit 104 degrees. Nearly 15,000 people died in that country alone. During the Chicago heat wave of 1995, the mercury spiked at 106 and about 600 people died.
In a few decades, people will look back at those heat waves "and we will laugh," said Andreas Sterl, lead author of a new study and a scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. "We will find (those temperatures) lovely and cool."

Seen these doomsday scenarios many times. Not going to happen. Everything will be alright and Joe Lunch Bucket will get his cool air!

So when 4.5 billion people die, the survivers will have the earth's remaining reserves for themselves. I'm building an end of the world shelter now to survive until this time.

So how does the article support your position when it says this: "However, temperatures will again be rising quickly by about 2020, they say."
and this: ". . .after that, the curves come back together and temperatures rise."
btw this article was posted some time ago and discussed. _________________ "The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences…"

India challenges global warming fears
India has issued a report challenging global warming fears. This is dramatic. The Indian Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change said that India would rather save its people from poverty than global warming, and would not cut growth in order to cut gases.
Referring to claimed changes in climate attributed to human activity, the report declares: "No firm link between the documented charges described below and warming due to an anthropogenic climate change has yet been established."
The report goes on to state: "It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people . . . India is determined that its per capita greenhouse-gas emissions will at no point exceed those of developed countries."
The Australian Herald noted that this declaration "means India won't stop its per capita emissions (now at 1,02 t) from growing until they match those of countries such as the US (now at 20 t)."

It that Toast with Butter and Jam? Remember that bit in the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" when they went to Milliways, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" to watch the universe die as they dined like kings.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "The Universe as we know it has now been in existence for over one hundred and seventy thousand million billion years and will be ending in a little over half an hour. So, welcome one and all to Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!"
As one who believes in symmetry we can't forget:
The Big Bang Burger Bar which is the opposite of Milliway's in that it is at the beginning of the universe, namely the Big Bang.
Between those two events, our very small bit of existence and final toast event will have literally no significance in the universe at all. Enjoy BAU.

The thing is if India went to an all renewable and Fission grid they could do it. The problem is they mean it in the conventional fossil fuel sense, which will just make things that much worse instead of better. _________________ Always appeal to a man's enlightened self interest, you can trust him to look out for himself honestly, It's when you appeal to his Honor or the Common Good that he stops paying attention.

According to Monckton, there is substantial support for his results, "in the peer-reviewed literature, most articles on climate sensitivity conclude, as I have done, that climate sensitivity must be harmlessly low."

The trolls are out today. This one is particularly laughable. The link links to nothing. Similar claims have been made and debunked many times. Need we really say more.
Get back to us when you have dozens of well-established, major scientific bodies from around the world supporting your position.
