As the earth dies screaming

Even snow doesn't go to Chicago anymore, due to the American Carnage.

I have to travel to Chicago for work in April. I am sure the storm of the century will occur during that time. Just my luck.

Damn, this must be the most depressing thread on the forum all season.

 

[stampedehero]

We need to start holding countries like China and India responsible for their part in this.

When your sky looks like this...

...then you are part of the fucking problem. It's time for the international community to get serious about holding these assholes accountable for this shit.

I hear a lot of well-meaning people bitching and moaning about coal and oil in this country, and whining about "eco-friendly solutions". But they are ignoring the biggest culprits of why our world is polluted in the first place. And it has nothing to do with Republicans, Coal, or Oil.

You can't make a dumb shit smart. They do whatever they want no matter what.

The earth is not dying. Or screaming. Humans will be gone long before the earth "dies screaming". What an absurdly over the top, sensationalist title. Hilarious. The earth doesnt revolve around the human experience, get over yourself. Enjoy the ride while the earth tolerates you.

Did you know, the last time the seas were this high, the Woolly Mammoth was incharge? There were no progressives to blame him though.

EXCLUSIVE: Study Finds Temperature Adjustments Account For ‘Nearly All Of The Warming’ In Climate Data

The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.

Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t question the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.

Basically, “cyclical pattern in the earlier reported data has very nearly been ‘adjusted’ out” of temperature readings taken from weather stations, buoys, ships and other sources.

In fact, almost all the surface temperature warming adjustments cool past temperatures and warm more current records, increasing the warming trend, according to the study’s authors.

“Nearly all of the warming they are now showing are in the adjustments,” Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo, a study co-author, told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. “Each dataset pushed down the 1940s warming and pushed up the current warming.”

“You would think that when you make adjustments you’d sometimes get warming and sometimes get cooling. That’s almost never happened,” said D’Aleo, who co-authored the study with statistician James Wallace and Cato Institute climate scientist Craig Idso.

Their study found measurements “nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history,” which was “nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern.”

“The conclusive findings of this research are that the three [global average surface temperature] data sets are not a valid representation of reality,” the study found. “In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

Based on these results, the study’s authors claim the science underpinning the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gases “is invalidated.”

You seem to be influenced by resumes.

You seem to be influenced by resumes.

When science becomes extremely politicized, it's worthwhile to ask "why does this piece of research exist?" The lip service to defense industry alumns, economists, and blatant anti-environmentalists casts a pretty long shadow.
