IPCC draft - India, Pakistan & Bangladesh to be devastated by Global Warming

Draft IPCC report on the effect of climate change on Asia indicates that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will suffer huge losses of coastal areas, huge crop losses, loss of water, drying of of rivers and loss of coral reefs.

Key quote: "The Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Indus will become seasonal rivers, dry between monsoon rains as Himalayan glaciers will continue their retreat, vanishing entirely by 2035, if not sooner. Water tables will continue to fall and the gross per capita water availability in India will decline by over one-third by 2050 as rivers dry up, water tables fall or grow more saline. Water scarcity will in turn affect the health of vast populations, with a rise in water-borne diseases such as cholera. Other diseases such as dengue fever and malaria are also expected to rise."

Comment: Rapid advances in solar technology means that this is totally unnecessary from a strictly Western economic perspective. However it is on track to happen because of the utter greed and irresponsibility of the Climate Criminals Racist Bush-ite America (the world's biggest greenhouse gas polluter) and Racist Bush-ite White Australia (the big country with the biggest annual per capita carbon dioxide pollution and the world's biggest coal exporter). Neither the US or Australia will sign Kyoto and neither will make substantial greenhouse gas pollutant cutbacks - they are hell-bent on Climate Genocide in the interests of a tiny minority of fossil fuel corporations (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/13576/254/ ).
