Answer 9

Paraphrase the IPCC report: Billions of people face shortages of food and water and increased risk of flooding due to global warming. [1]

Key findings of the IPCC, WGII report include:

• 75-250 million people across Africa could face water shortages by 2020.

• Crop yields could increase by 20% in East and Southeast Asia, but decrease by up to 30% in Central and South Asia.

• Agriculture fed by rainfall could drop by 50% in some African countries by 2020.

• 20-30% of all plant and animal species at increased risk of extinction if temperatures rise between 1.5-2.5C.

• Glaciers and snow cover expected to decline, reducing water availability in countries supplied by melt water.

Follow up with other quotes and information, such as “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level” and

“The understanding of anthropogenic warming and cooling influences on climate has improved since the [Third Assessment Report, 2001], leading to very high confidence (greater then 90% likelihood)  that the global average net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming.”[2]

Finish up with a statement that “Eliminating fossil fuels is friggin' cheap.”[3] According to Scientific American, we can completely phase out fossil fuels over the course of twenty years for a cost of around a third of current military spending.

Answer 10

Open up with, "BOOOM! There goes the world's last polar bear!"

Seriously, though. You could say something like, "Imagine a world without....." Then list all the things that will dissapear if we don't stop Global Warming. It instantly causes people to think.

Answer 11

How about the truth.

The interments and station locations that are used globally to document environmental conditions are so out of date and very poorly located that there is no way of gathering any accurate information to prove global warming.

Answer 12

How about "A one degree Celcius rise in the temperature of the world's oceans is equivalent to the energy of 1.358 BILLION 1 MegaTon atom bombs.  Projections are for the temperature to rise as much as 5 deg C in the next 50-100 years.  That will be the equivalent energy to one atom bomb for every man, woman and child alive today!"

Answer 13

Soon many politicians, scientists, and common folk will be scrambling to salvage their careers and self respect now that many credible sources are indicating that man- made global warming is a complete farce.

Answer 14

The emperor's new clothes.

I think that Benjamin is right, in 20 years there will be shortages of food and water in ....... , wait there is now, the sad part is the only famines are man made by corrupt governments.
