Copenhagen Climate Change Lunacy: What They Won’t be Discussing in Copenhagen, Africa’s Going Green Due to Carbon Emissions

Climate Doom Scientists Ignore Africa Sahara is “Turning Green”

The latest U.N. Climate Change doom news cites a study by the World Meteorological Association (WMO), United Nations Development Programme, and World Health Organisation where “weather extremes” due to global warming/climate change led to 55 million deaths worldwide. One of the areas cited in the study: Africa and its droughts, which according to the study, will worsen and lead to more deaths and human displacement.

According an article in the Hindustan Times, a study by the World Meteorological Association (WMO), United Nations Development Programme, and World Health Organisation found 55 million deaths in worldwide climate “disasters” in 2009 were due to global warming/climate change:

The study said 37 per cent of the 245 weather-related disasters in 2009 were because of the change in long-term weather patterns.

“Climate change is causing an increase in extreme weather events,” said Debarata Guha-Sapir, Director at Louvain School of Public Health, a WHO research centre.

“We have data on disasters since 1975 and the trend is of increase in climate related disasters,” he said.

In Africa, drought accounted for just 20 per cent of total disasters but represented 80 per cent of total people affected between 1970 and 2008, the study said.

The study was based on data collected since 1975, while the “result” of the results, means billions of bucks in American tax payer funds:

The disasters led to economic losses worth US $ 19 billion — more than what the rich countries have offered for climate mitigation in the next three years, said a study released on Monday.

The rich countries — United States and Europe — have committed US $ 13.5 billion per year for adaptation and climate mitigation till 2013. This is much less than the US $ 100 billion, which the developed world, especially Least Developed Countries (LDC), have asked for.

The study’s climate “disasters” killed “55 million in 2009″ was based on data collected from 1970-less than 40 years of data to be exact. The National Geographic has published a separate report where climate scientists have found “good” news related to Africa and global warming, bad news for climate change doom scientists who need drought in African in order to perpetuate “global warming” is a disaster and continue to feed off the global warming research grant troughs, and “developing nations” which stand to gain a multi-billion dollar bonanza from the U.S..

From the National Geographic:

Desertification, drought, and despair—that’s what global warming has in store for much of Africa. Or so we hear.

Emerging evidence is painting a very different scenario, one in which rising temperatures could benefit millions of Africans in the driest parts of the continent. Scientists are now seeing signals that the Sahara desert and surrounding regions are greening due to increasing rainfall. If sustained, these rains could revitalize drought-ravaged regions, reclaiming them for farming communities.

This desert-shrinking trend is supported by climate models, which predict a return to conditions that turned the Sahara into a lush savanna some 12,000 years ago.

It’s a sure bet we won’t be hearing about the global warming greening of the Africa Sahara in Copenhagen, where the India news reported several top climate scientists were quoting Ghandi while beating their drums against man-made carbon emissions. The very same carbon emissions which may responsible for the greening of the desert sands of Africa.
