Firstly, Maude, it is not Sid "Viscious" it is Sid "Viscuous" - look it up.Read More Secondly, all you tinfoil-hat wearing science deniers need to wake the heck up: "STOCKHOLM -- The World Bank says it will increasingly view its efforts to help developing countries fight poverty through a "climate lens." In a report released Wednesday, the international lending institution warned that heat waves, rising seas, more severe storms and other impacts of climate change will trap millions of people in poverty." As a result, the Washington-based bank said it is stepping up support for efforts to curb climate change and to help the world adapt to it. "Urgent action is needed to not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to help countries prepare for a world of dramatic climate change and weather extremes," World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement." "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
