Poorest of poor will be worst hit by warming

Climate experts issued their starkest warning yet about the impact of global warming, ranging from hunger in Africa to a fast thaw in the Himalayas, in a report on Friday that increased pressure on governments to act.

Please tick all which apply:

• There is no real evidence of warming, just model predictions.
• Global Warming is nothing but an environmentalist hoax.
• One warmest year on record is not global warming.
• In the 1970's they said a new ice age was coming.
• Global temperatures over just one hundred years doesn't mean anything.
• Glaciers have always grown and receded. A few glaciers receding today is not proof of Global Warming
  
• Climate scientist are trying to hide the dominant role of water vapor in Global Warming.
• There is no proof that CO2 is what is causing the temperature to go up.
• The current warming is just a part of natural variations, humans have nothing to do with it.
• It was even warmer during the Holocene Climatic Optimum
• The Medieval Warm Period was just as warm as it is today.
• All in all, a warmer climate sounds like a good thing.
• Reducing fossil fuel usage is mass suicide.
• Even if we fully implemented the Kyoto protocol it would have virtually no effect on the temperature.
  
• Why do India and China get a free pass? That's not fair, no wonder the US did not join.
• But there is Global Warming on Mars, without any SUV's or human influence at all.
• It was very cold in Wagga Wagga today, this proves there is no Global Warming.
• There is no consensus yet on the cause or even the reality of Global Warming.
• Ice sheets in the Antarctic are growing which proves Global Warming isn't real.
• Volcanoes emit way more CO2 than people, so emissions controls would be useless.
• Global Warming is an illusion caused by the Urban Heat Island Effect.
• We can't even predict the weather next week, forget about 100 years from now!
• The models are unproven and therefore unreliable.
• Satellites are more reliable and they show cooling.
• The Null Hypothesis says the warming is natural.
• The climate is always changing, no reason to think it is our fault.
• CO2 is measured on Mauna Loa, which is an active volcano. That is why the levels are so high.
• The Hockey Stick is broken, global warming theory falls apart.
• No one knows how confident the models really are.
• Global Warming stopped eight years ago!
• Global warming is caused by the sun, of course.
• "Probably", "likely", "evidence suggests". Even the scientist aren't sure AGW is real!
• Sea ice in the Antarctic is growing.
• This alleged consensus is just because scientists are afraid to speak out.
• Some locations are actually cooling, which shouldn't happen if there is global warming.
• The small observed warming shows that the climate models are overestimating CO2's importance.
• Sea level measurements in the Arctic Ocean show that it is falling, not rising!
• Today's warming is just a natural rebound from the Little Ice Age.
