NOAA reports on Global Warming

Sorry, A_QB but you cannot remove the US from the "biggest part of the problem." We are the number 1 polluter.

China has fucked up royally, but we can’t affect change there right now. We can only change what is here. Thus, action should be taken. Saying that we won’t do anything until China and India do something is, well, childish.

 

So, we're ruling out any chance whatsoever that the climate change occurs on its own? So the little ice ages that drove the Vikings from Greenland and later affected Europe were caused by..cow farts?

 

Another perspective on the report:

Interesting, although he seems to be focusing on droughts, hurricanes and dry (or cold) spells, which doesn't address other damages, some which may take longer to manifest, like the increase in polar and iceberg melting, etc.

The lack of hurricanes or droughts doesn't mean all is well, despite the fact that some people will claim the contrary.

 

Does the report also say that the current cooling is caused by warming?

 

Here we go. . .

 

Yep. It was only a matter of time.

Here's what I can't understand about the global warming naysayers....

What do you get out of spending so much energy denying something that's scientifically valid? Seriously.

 

Thanks for stoppying by Robert Pielke, Jr.

 

He makes a good point.

 

We should just have a Global Warming Running Thread.

What is this, thread 1,550 on the topic?

 

Perhaps it is the demagoging that goes with it, as if global warming is caused by evil greedy capitalists and the emissions from their Hummers........
