| The joint editor of the Climate News Network is warning that in as little as two centuries global warming will lead to “mass extinction,” which may be good news for residents of “The Shire.” “Hobbit-sized humans, able to exist on less nourishing food, will have the best chance of survival in a warmer world, scientists say,” said Paul Brown, a journalist and author, in an article entitled, “Mass extinction forecast with 6C temperature rise,” published on Jan. 7. Brown bases his claim on findings by the “Bighorn Basin Coring Project,” a group of scientists

Since most of their ideas are fairy tales, one should not be surprised that they talk of Hobbits.

If that´s true, man will adapt by getting shorter and shorter each generation. 200 years is what? 10 generations? That´s plenty of time to adapt.
Imagine if this were now? Just think of all the tall people would disappear!

Forgot to add - less fabric for clothing, less leather for shoes (unless we also adapt to Hobbit feet), we wouldn´t have to eat so much.
It will all work out fine.

Hobbit sized people to match Mr. Brown´s Hobbit sized brain. It would take a minimum of thousands of years for little weed eating hobbits to evolve/devolve from current human scale. Not two hundred years.

If there is no God, what difference does it make if we go extinct? Who is there to care? I´d say we´ve had a pretty good run, nothing like the dinosaurs, but a pretty good run just the same. Sayonara.

CO2 does have insulation properties, as any physicist can tell you. The big question is How Much? The increase of 120ppm (since 1850), reduces down to 1.2 parts in 10,000.
For those who do not understand small numbers, that is very little. Inconsequential. Negligible. Very tiny. Almost nothing. Etc, etc. Hence, my skepticism.

One other thing. If global warming is going to do us in in 2 centuries, we can head that off by sterilizing all male babies starting today. In only one century, we´ll be outa here and will have accomplished two things: one, no painful extinction through global warming and two, there will be no global warming left for the rest of the species to worry about since WE are the cause of global warming. Everyone wins. Yea!

When I was a kid, they scared the bejeezuz out of us by telling us we were all going to starve to death because of the "population explosion."
Then we were going to choke to death from air pollution.
Then it was cancer from the hole in the ozone layer.
Then we were going freze to death in a nuclear winter.
Global warming is just this decade´s version of junk science designed to cow ignorant people and collect large research grants.

funny how these alarmists forget so conveniently about the 1300 - 1600 warming period where most of the glaciers of Greenland where gone. One of the reasons the vikings called it green land. Then in the 1600 guess what the cyclical nature of weather returned and it got cold again, cold enough for the canals of Amsterdam to freeze over so the populace would ice skate on them. Just as a side note more people die due to cold weather affects than in hot weather.

With all respectdue, which is none, has no one at this so called scientific network ever studied biology? Ever been forced to sit through the lectures on surface to volume ratio and climate compatibility? Never been exposed to the reason an eskimo (OK Inuit) is short and fat and a Watusi is tall and skinny?
OK here it is in a nutshell. Take both these guys to the Fourth of July parade in a typical Pennsylkvania town.
The short fat guy will die of heat exhaustion due to his bulk not radiating any heat. The 7 foot tall skinny guy will freeze to death because he radiates too much heat from all his skinny limbs.
Another wonderful and beautiful utopian dream derailed by an ugly fact.

Might as well get a head start and start producing shorter people. /s

“What worries the scientists is that this current warming period will take as little as 200 years, if the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is correct,” Then they have no reason to worry, as the IPCC has been outright lying from the start, and the bureaucrats change the conclusions of their own scientists to fit their political agendas.

The way to prevent abortionists like convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell from occurring again is to build more Planned Parenthood clinics, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Thursday about legislation that would prevent abortion after 20 weeks nationwide. “I would urge my colleagues to think about the extent to which he, Dr. Gosnell, represented the poor quality of health care services available in poorer communities,” Nadler said at the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice hearing. “We should be working to make sure that high quality

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead. The Ohio Republican and his top lieutenants in the party issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote this week, and to stake out a House GOP position. “While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which

During friendly questioning from Rep. Hank “I fear that Guam will capsize!” Johnson in Congress last week, Attorney General Eric Holder offered the following statement. In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. He made that statement before the facts about the sweep on Fox News’ James Rosen were known. Since then, it’s come to light that Holder himself approved the subpoena that, among other things, named Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator.

As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and you’ll find a tyrant underneath. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is but the latest example. He shoved a very restrictive and ill-considered gun law through the state legislature in the dead of night. Among its flaws, the law criminalized police officers who tote firearms with magazines that hold more than seven rounds. Sheriffs around the state have objected to the law. Cuomo summoned them to the state capitol under what appears to be a false pretext, and used the meeting to threaten them into silence. Cuomo invited

What a fantastic talent liberals possess, the ability to talk out of both sides of their mouths. One side utters platitudes about campaign finance reform and the nefarious influence of money in politics, while the other whispers in the ears of oligarchs and plutocrats. One side slanders Republicans as the tools of corporate interests, while the other solicits donations from some of the largest corporations in the world. The next journalist to examine influence peddling on K Street need only walk two blocks south, to H Street.

Meanwhile, Obama still refuses to meet with any border security enforcement officers about any aspect of immigration reform. “From Justino Mora, Angie Kim and Mehdi Mahraoui, to Diana Colin and Kevin Lee,” a White House blog entry reads, “all of the stories they shared were full of hope and optimism that one day their family members and their broader communities could realize the dream of becoming citizens of a country that

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
