YEEEEE-HAAAAA!
We’re all gonna die, according to a global headline consensus:
• The Australian: It’s almost certain: humans caused planet to heat up
• Canada’s Lompoc Record: Global Warming Man-Made, Will Continue
• Fox News: U.N. Report: Global Warming Man-Made, Basically Unstoppable
• The Sydney Morning Herald: World wakes to climate calamity
• The Boston Globe: Man-made climate change will continue
• The Guardian: World’s sea levels rising at accelerating rate
• Bloomberg: Bush Administration Says Human Climate Role No Longer Debatable
• The San Francisco Chronicle: Warming ‘Likely’ Man-Made, Unstoppable
• The UK Daily Telegraph: Man ‘responsible for global warming’
• icEaling: Climate change debate ‘now over’
• Reuters: Mankind to blame for global warming say scientists
• The Melbourne Age: The science is clear: people cause climate change
Oddly, despite the UN’s overwhelming evidence of human-caused warmening, not a single media company has announced an immediate closure. Don’t they believe the UN? Two more headlines:
• Wisconsin’s Journal Times: Global warming is man made
And the next item from the same paper:
• Extreme cold weather this weekend
UPDATE. To the list of things caused by global warming, add ... hedgehog baldness!

UPDATE II. Tim “Buick refrigerator” Flannery pushes the numbers:
The respected scientist said the UN’s prediction of a three degree Celsius temperature rise was conservative and in fact could be double that figure resulting in “truly catastrophic” conditions for all life on earth.
