#1 "We have a small window of time in which we can plant the seeds of change, and that is the next five years," James Leape, from the WWF, said.

Translation: We don't expect a leftist US government with Hillary as prez to last more than four years, so we have this tight time frame to wreck the US economy.

#2 In the old days, false prophets were stoned to death. Consider it quality control.

#3 Let's see, it's May 16th. I believe all the seeds have already been planted. Maybe we should concentrate on watering the seeds.

#4 Little do these self-important posers recognize that "the planet" has at various points in its history been a noxious molten rock and an ocean covered sea planet; its land mass has been dominated at various times by jungles, deserts and massive ice sheets and been through several extinction events which wiped out the overwhelming majority of species millions of years before anything vaguely man-like emerged. "The planet" will be fine whatever we do. It's bigger, older and much less sentimental than we are. Concern for human health and welfare is reasonable, even admirable, and we shouldnt destroy natural systems if we can avoid it, but that's because its bad for us, not "the planet". If we extincted ourselves and every plant and large animal in existence (which we probably can't, but anyway), new life would evolve from the cockroaches or bacteria or whatever the heck was left. The planet would be fine. We would have died off massively in some really awful ways, but Earth would soldier on without us.

I advocate perspective.

#6 I strongly believe that if someone like the Hildebeast does get into the White House our whole system of elections will radically change virtually overnight. There are already moves being made in the CA State Assembly to throw all this states' electoral college votes towards whoever wins the popular vote effectively canceling the electoral college system.

I wouldn't put it past the Hildebeast to assue near-dictatorial powers citing some kind of Constitutional crisis before the next election throws it out of office. They suggested doing this in the 2000 election debacle.

With that said, this group the WWF must be so new that DiscoverTheNetworks,org doesn't even have an entry on them yet.

#7 Should we start preparing like they did in "When Worlds Collide"?

#8 The World Wide Fund for Nature has been around for years. I assume it has been hijacked by enviro crazies as most of these organizations seem to have been.

BTW, the 'We have 5 years left' is code for we must have a Kyoto II when Kyoto I runs out in 2012.

#9 The WWF is dead wrong.

Serious scientists know today that the global warming is provoked by the increase of the sun radiation, and that, after the year 2040, the sun radiation will decrease, leading to a decrease of the Earth temperature.

The proof is that the temperature on Mars is rising too, and at the same speed as it is on Earth.

Just look there:

#13 Iff recent, post-2000 low-orbit asteroid flybys are any measure, Global MSM > EARTH WILL BE SAVED BY PCORRECTLY PRETENDING ITS NOT IN DANGER, where the OWG cannot confirm = or deny ... it can = can NOT ... control = not control ... the asteroid = nuthin there.

MOTHER SHIPTON's "Dragon's Tail..." > to me looks more like a DRAGON/HORSE's HEAD, not a tail. ala FATIMA's THIRD SECRET + "WINGED HORSE/PEGASUS". You see what happens, Moriarty, when you feed hosses too much ambrosia!
