‘Climate Witnesses' Testify About Effects Of Global Warming

Buenos Aires, Argentina— A Nepalese Sherpa fears his mountain valley will be flooded by melting glacier runoff high in the Himalayas. A Fiji islander frets about rising sea levels, while villagers cope with the destruction of mangrove swamps in India.

As scientists debate whether global warming is affecting Earth, “climate witnesses” told a U.N. environmental conference Friday they are already feeling the heat of the changing weather patterns they say are drastically affecting the way of life from the Himalayas to the South Pacific.

“In the past we just accepted it was the will of God,” said Penina Moce, a woman from Udu, a fishing village in Fiji. “But now we believe there could be other reasons.”
Moce spoke as delegates from nearly 200 countries sat down in Buenos Aires for an annual gathering by government officials, scientists, and environmentalists aimed at trying to reduce “greenhouse” emissions believed by many to be causing a rise in Earth's temperatures.

The 44-year-year-old mother of five said many on her South Pacific island of 400 people are alarmed by recent signs of altering climate: shortened rainy seasons, eroding coastlines and dwindling fish stocks. Water, already in short supply, has become even harder to come by, she said.

4. Great stuff - thanks for the reference!

You must be proud of your Grandad! Too bad somebody in power doesn't listen to him!

2. This climate-witnessing is hard work.

I work hard at this hard work every day. 20 out of 30 days in June 2004 that were either cloud-covered or rainy were hard to watch. About another 20-out-of-30 similar days in November were hard to watch, too.

Arkansas is something like ten inches above normal for rainfall this year. It's hard work dealing with that, too.

Yet, while the Regime denies that climate change exists at all, they are feverishly trying to control the weather and stave off sunlight with the Chemtrails that they also deny.

Ah, it's just too much hard work trying to sort out that contradiction. Reckon I'll go watch rasslin' awhile.
