Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2. Alarmism also offers an excuse for governments to raise taxes, taxpayer-funded subsidies for businesses that understand how to work the political system, and a lure for big donations to charitable foundations promising to save the planet
The tax will reward innovators and their customers who choose to switch over.Those who do not, well they are free to consume to their hearts content -- as long as they pay for the privilege of dumping their waste into everyone's air. (MORE: November Was Cold, But the Climate Keeps Warming) What does that have to do with climate change? Sea ice is vanishing from the Arctic thanks to climate change, which leaves behind dark open ocean water, which absorbs more of the heat from the sun than reflective ice
Understanding the Global Warming Debate - Forbes
Surviving thru the ice age and preserving the human race is something our ancestors have proved is possible, but if it had happened just two hundred years ago, we would have lost all the marvels of human civilization and survived with only with the bare necessities. For the point of longer growing seasons in the northern latitude, remember for increased crop output in the north there will be decreased crop output in the south
Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature - IOPscience
This could facilitate an approach approximating the methods of Doran and Zimmerman (2009), which measured the level of scientific consensus for varying degrees of expertise in climate science. This explanation is also consistent with a description of consensus as a 'spiral trajectory' in which 'initially intense contestation generates rapid settlement and induces a spiral of new questions' (Shwed and Bearman 2010); the fundamental science of AGW is no longer controversial among the publishing science community and the remaining debate in the field has moved to other topics
In other words, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, among other effects, that occur over several decades or longer. The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced some big changes - oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising

Partially water-filled Styrofoam cooler with a temperature sensor in the bottom.Last night I tried a little experiment with my Extech SD200 digital temperature recorder and two Styrofoam coolers (doubled up) partially filled to the same depth with salty swimming pool water, with the temperature sensors placed in the bottom, as seen in the first photo. C (click for full size version): The global, hemispheric, and tropical LT anomalies from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 6 months are: YR MO GLOBE NH SH TROPICS 2015 1 +0.26 +0.38 +0.14 +0.12 2015 2 +0.16 +0.26 +0.05 -0.07 2015 3 +0.14 +0.23 +0.05 +0.02 2015 4 +0.06 +0.15 -0.02 +0.07 2015 5 +0.27 +0.33 +0.21 +0.27 2015 6 +0.31 +0.36 +0.26 +0.46 Notice the strong warming in the tropics over the last 2 months, consistent with the strengthening El Nino in the Pacific

Global Warming Effect: Widespread extinction of species According to research published in Nature, by 2050, rising temperatures could lead to the extinction of more than a million species
Taken together, just these six firms, of the 200 listed in the Carbon Tracker report, would use up more than a quarter of the remaining two-degree budget. But, in fact, computer models calculate that even if we stopped increasing CO2 now, the temperature would likely still rise another 0.8 degrees, as previously released carbon continues to overheat the atmosphere

Arguments from Global Warming Skeptics and what the science really says
77 "CO2 has a short residence time" Excess CO2 from human emissions has a long residence time of over 100 years 78 "CO2 measurements are suspect" CO2 levels are measured by hundreds of stations across the globe, all reporting the same trend. 41 "CO2 is not a pollutant" Through its impacts on the climate, CO2 presents a danger to public health and welfare, and thus qualifies as an air pollutant 42 "CO2 is plant food" The effects of enhanced CO2 on terrestrial plants are variable and complex and dependent on numerous factors 43 "Other planets are warming" Mars and Jupiter are not warming, and anyway the sun has recently been cooling slightly

14, 2015 Obama administration report lists examples of increasing impact of climate change on human health, and predicts that global warming will contribute to rise in host of medical conditions ranging from allergies to asthma and even heat-related deaths; many scientists, however, while agreeing that warmer weather is affecting health, contend that direct correlation with climate change is not certain, and that it is only one part of extremely complex set of interacting forces. 20, 2015 Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation Dept unveil new rules that set strict fuel efficiency standards for large trucking rigs used in transportation of goods; rules, along with others that will address smaller trucks, are latest that aim to reduce planet-warming carbon pollution
Dan Miller says: October 15, 2012 at 4:22 am While I agree with most of the dire comments here, when it comes to action on climate change, I believe we will go from impossible to inevitable, without ever stopping at probable. Such hydrological changes fit the definition of abrupt change because they occur faster than the time scales needed for human and natural systems to adapt, leading to substantial disruptions in those systems
How Meat Contributes to Global Warming - Scientific American
It turns out that producing half a pound of hamburger for someone's lunch a patty of meat the size of two decks of cards releases as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as driving a 3,000-pound car nearly 10 miles. Yet according to a 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), our diets and, specifically, the meat in them cause more greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and the like to spew into the atmosphere than either transportation or industry
How Much Will Tar Sands Oil Add to Global Warming? - Scientific American
Pet coke is possibly the dirtiest fossil fuel available, emitting at least 30 percent more CO2 per ton than an equivalent amount of the lowest quality mined coals. Global concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have reached 394 parts per million, up from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution and the highest levels seen in at least 800,000 years
In effect, they are able to undermine democracy and capitalism at the same time.As the global financial crisis has affected many countries, tackling tax avoidance would help target those more likely to have contributed to the problem while avoid many unnecessary austerity measures that hit the poorest so hard. It also attempts to provide insights into what governments, companies, international institutions, and other organizations are attempting to do about this issue, as well as the challenges they face

The Discoverer, which was built 49 years ago (as log carrier, then converted to drilling) and looking rusted on the bridge superstructure and along the hull, is tied up at a Dutch Harbor town dock this week. Investigators probe why a support vessel, the Fennica, required in case of an oil blowout, suffered severe underwater hull damage requiring repair in Portland, Oregon
No one in the climate science community is debating whether or not changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations alter the greenhouse effect, or if the current warming trend is outside of the range of natural variability, or if sea levels have risen over the last century. It is not the case, nor is it expected, that all regions on the planet, let alone all weather stations, will show the same changes in temperature or rainfall patterns
