The humanitarian organization DARA issued a report Wednesday saying that 100 million people may die by 2030 as a direct result of climate change. 90% of those affected would be in third world nations; the remaining 10% are thought to be sick and elderly in places closest to the equator.
With temperatures soaring due to mankind’s abuse of the world’s resources, startling and disturbing new environmental disasters are occurring each day. In July of this year 97% of the country of Greenland melted as temperatures across the globe reached new highs.
Sadly, due to this current government’s partisan crisis, not much will be done to prevent further environmental disasters. We can only hope that our nation’s elected officials get their heads out of their asses. With a staggering number projected to die – 100,000,000 – directly because of climate change, the government must do all it can to pass further measures to protect the environment before it too late.

Science has betrayed us once again after poisoning the planet with their pesticides and cancer causing chemicals as they still refuse to say any crisis “WILL” happen, only “might” and “could” and… thus leaving us all looking like fools.
NOT ONE single IPCC warning is without “maybes” despite “being at the tipping point, maybe” and threatening the voter’s children with deaths by CO2 is as good as voting for Romneycon. Climate change was Liberalism’s Iraq War of Climate WMD lies and fear mongering. Bush laughs and admires the legal exaggeration of "crisis".
*Occupywallstreet does not even mention CO2 in its list of demands because of the bank-funded carbon trading stock markets run by corporations.
*Obama has not mentioned the crisis in the last two State of the Unions addresses.
*Julian Assange is of course a climate change denier.
*Canada killed Y2Kyoto with a freely elected climate change denying prime minister and nobody cared, especially the millions of scientists warning us of unstoppable warming (a comet hit).
Meanwhile, the entire world of SCIENCE, lazy copy and paste journalism and Liberal progressivism had allowed bank-funded and corporate-run “CARBON TRADING STOCK MARKETS”(ruled by trustworthy politicians) to trump the UN's and entire world's efforts into 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 26 years of insane attempts at climate CONTROL.
