Breaking News

Ethiopia will cut carbon emissions by two-thirds by 2030. Really? This is news. From AFP:

Ethiopia has set targets to slash carbon emissions by two-thirds within the next 15 years, the most ambitious goal so far presented to an upcoming UN climate change conference in Paris. 

LOL. Ethiopia could cut its carbon emissions by two-thirds if it quit sending a) negotiators to Paris; and, b) marathon runners to Boston.

Population of Ethiopia: 100 million.

Ethiopia's major source of CO2 emissions, burning a) camel dung; b) trees. By 2030 the country will be completely deforested and that will account for at least a third of the reduction. Another third will be achieved by creative accounting.

What ABC Said In 2008 That We Would See In 2015

The Science Is Settled

From the linked ABC article above, in 2015, due to global warming:

As one expert warns that in 2015 the sea level will rise quickly, a visual shows New York City being engulfed by water. The video montage includes another unidentified person predicting that "flames cover hundreds of miles." 

Ultimately, ABC delayed the air-date for Earth 2100 and the one-hour show didn't debut until June 2, 2009. The program showcased the terrible impact of global warming from 2015 through 2100. 

In the special, a "storm of the century" wiped out Miami. Other highlights included a destroyed New York City and an abandoned Las Vegas. By 2084, Earth's population will apparently be just 2.7 billion.

In 2015: One carton of milk is $12.99. In 2015: Gas is over $9 a gallon.

The only thing they missed was the minimum wage being raised to $15 / hour.
