Draft Of Upcoming U.N. Climate Change Report Presents Stark View Of The Future As Climate Change Rages On. What is wrong with you? Do you not like science, or do you not "believe" in it, is the U.N. not legitimate to you, or what? I really, really don't get what there is to debate at this point, other than how to fix this huge problem.
My favorite are the people that dispute religion with science and then refute climate change and the science that proves it.
Personal feelings..The UN is a joke. Global warming/Climate change is a self created, growing industry the perpetuates myths and models of doom for its own benefit. The earths climate hsa cycled multiple times and believe it or not, this also occurred even before humans used tools.
Yes, i did read the article. To be frank, I see nothing new in the piece. These guys cry "Wolf" so often, even if there was a legitimate cause for immediate concern, I would have a hard time paying attention to the warning. Please tell me, you seem to believe there is game changing information in this...share with me what I have missed..
Wow! "it's increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible" That is astonishing! I guess this means man has indeed interrupted the Interglacial cycle that has been going on for all of discernible history. I sure would like to see the salient data that toggled the change. The last time I looked our CO2 levels were about the same as every other cycle, perhaps a little less than some. This is amazing news.
The thing about "the global temperature change is natural" is that we should be well into a cooling period by now, but we aren't. Look at how large those peaks are, and look at how long our current peak is at. And yes, the planet will survive more global warming, but human society probably won't.
See the original post, or basically, heavily encourage green energies and punish unnecessary pollution.
But the CO2 levels are lower than the prior cycles? And then there is the small thing of if we stopped all CO2 pollution here in the US tomorrow, it wouldn't change much for the World. We are not even close to the bad guy if there is one.
Push the green technology on the rest of the world too. I get your point that it seems dauntless, but that doesn't mean do nothing.
The IPCC is a political body, not a scientific one. There are a number of scientists who participated in the IPCC drafts and who say the alarmism is not warranted. Why do you believe one group of scientists over another? Your article mentions one, John Christy. He's the guy who actually collects the temperature data that the others massage until there's something to "fear." Christy is the Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science and Director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Why would you trust the predictions (red) of the IPCC?
More electric vehicles when possible, and less coal burning plants to list the first that come to mind. More efficient stuff too. PS this is probably my last response for the day, so I'm not dodging if you ask follow ups.
The originator of my company's formula had a peer he would write to for years. There was a folder that had communication back and forth. It was dated around 1960-65 Long story short, his peer was head of hydrogen power. He was close and had a letter explaining he feared something bad was going to happen to him. Two months after that letter was mailed to our guy, his peer disappeared
I was hoping you would say, push our Nuclear technology. We have that down very well with the US Navy proving it out for 60 years now. Obama is already shutting down the coal plants as if that really will help, but the fact is we will just sell the coal to China with a net zero change.
