Worse than that, the poor will die. Many of them.

Millions face starvation as world warms, say scientists
World is unprepared for changes that will see parts of Africa turned into disaster areas, say food experts

Maurice Strong one of the original leaders of the "climate change" movement died this week at age 86. Maurice was a well-know scam artist whose company illegal sold oil to Saddam Hussein, and well as a host of other crimes.

What he is most famous for however was his statement that Climate Change was a good thing because it would wipe out 2/3rds of the world's population - while stating that this could be the best thing to happen to the human species.

Remember this is the type of clown who promotes the AGW agenda.

2. we have science showing lead and mercury damage kids.

Erupting volcanoes emit mercury and always have. We have no science showing that manmade mercury is damaging kids outside of natural variation.

the patented ricter clowning of the thread.... as expected when the big govt/commie side starts losing the argument.

High cranial mercury levels can lead to conservatism. Very high, to Libertarianism.

The truly poor, not the I want a new iPhone poor, have been starving for eons. Climate change is the least of their worries.
This is a scam, plain and simple. All scams have a element of the truth to them and this one is no different. The climate is in fact changing, as per usual. I'll tell you why it's a scam.
We continue to hear about the 'imminent threat", yet as the decades pass and the data changes the imminent threat seems to be extended. Case in point. Obama recently heralded some perverse victory by saying that the United States will dramatically reduce our emissions by 2025, and then stated that the Chinese have "promised" to begin emissions control by 2030. Begin by 2030? If the threat is so god damn immediate, WTF is up with the 2030?
Every single credible scientist will tell you that one nation cannot make any significant impact on the dreaded carbon emissions, yet one nation, the United States is the far and away leader in cutting emissions. There isn't a sizable industrial nation that runs a close second. I'll believe the threat is right around the corner as soon as I see someone else step up. The largest polluter, China, saying they'll get started in 2030 ain't exactly making me run for the hills.

Lacking cranial matter leads to liberalism.

Well on one side we have your inexpert uninformed opinion, and on the other the opinions of experts. Gee, which should we believe?

I don't understand. Parts of Africa have been disaster areas as far back as I can remember. On the other hand, climate has been changing as far back as I can remember, so perhaps this is the cause of African chaos. But if that is the case, why hasn't the entire world been changed into a disaster area, since climate change isn't limited to Africa.

I believe this is correct. There is no such thing, however, as man made mercury, as far as I know. One can turn mercury into gold, the goal of the alchemists, using a cyclotron. But I have never heard of man made mercury. Unlike lead, mercury is slowly eliminated through the kidneys. It does not build up the way lead does as insoluble lead phosphate. The danger with mercury is an acute dose, i.e., an intake that exceeds the body's rate of elimination. Organic mercurial compounds are very dangerous in other than trace doses, as is mercury vapor. At very low levels, however, mercury is not dangerous as it is slowly eliminated. Ingestion of mercury metal is not dangerous, but you certainly would not want to make a meal of grain treated with an organomercurial fungicide. These subtleties are completely lost on the public.

Calomel, which is Hg2Cl2, used to be given internally with no ill effect. It is insoluble and is eliminated via the bowel. Physicians, in the past, used a mercury filled balloon to pass a sound down the esophagus into the stomach. The mercury filled balloon, being very dense and heavy, would occasionally become detached from the distal end of the sound, and the contents would be spilled into the stomach. The patient would pass this spilled mercury with no ill effect.

Millions , or is it billions, of people have teeth filled with a mercury silver amalgam, and general health and longevity has down nothing but increase since mercury amalgam fillings started being used.

Good to know. Have you ever heard of manmade CO2?
