Comments on: UN: Climate Change Here And Getting Worse

Report Warns Global Warming Could Have "Abrupt And Irreversible" Results

[micma-2009]

The National Academy of Sciences looked at EVERY peer-reviewed climate change study done worldwide in the last ten years. Without exception, they all agreed on three fundamental facts:


1. GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL AND HAPPENING NOW
2. GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSED BY MAN
3. THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ARE CATASTROPHIC FOR LIFE ON THIS PLANET


The SCIENTIFIC debate ended long ago. Yet the political debate rages on fueled by money from the fossil fuels industry and an army of hacks that spread the disinformation campaign.

The time for denial is over. The time for action is now if we are to preserve a livable planet for our children.

ralan40, you don''t suppose the continents are bobbing up and down in some locations and some of these civilizations got caught in the bob down phase?

harp1963, we found it, its called nuclear power but it was obstructed by politically correct votes just like this vote about climate change, which is now morphing into global warming. Also, The Americas, Russia and Red Chinal could use our armies to stop others from burnig fossil fuel while we use what''s left so to speak. What''s wrong with that? Why should we help others contribute to Global Warming by keeping them alive? The carbon footprint of a dead nation is relatively small.

We could have spent the last 6 years and 2trillion dollars that we are spending in Iraq, developing sustainable forms of energy. Instead, we''''ve pissed it all away. Now, instead of exporting this technology to the world, we''''ll be importing it from wiser nations. This is the hallmark of Republican leadership. They are always looking backward into the future and denying what''s ahead.

Do people not realize that the earth has gone thru climate change since the last ice age? Do people not see submerged ancient cities around Italy and Greece and think rising ocean levels are nothing new? The SW U.S./Grand Canyon area was a much different place just a couple of thousands of years, ago.

Duh, everyone knows the coal and oil under the arctic regions were once jungles. The Sahara desert wasn''t always there. The Anasthazi had a thriving agrarian culture in the Grand Canyon area. Mankind''s migrations around the globe have been done in reaction to changing climates. Why is this suddenly such a big deal?

perhaps climate change is the Earth immune system working to get rid of the disease called humanity

Science is not democratic, so I am deeply suspicious. Climate change and redistribution of energy is not same as general global warming. What happens if 1500 meters ice pack melts in Greenland, is the temperature of the water nearby going to increase or decrease? What is the weight of the melting ice and in what sense is Greenland floating? If Greenland rises, what will happen someelse on this pressure driven bubble filled with fluids, below the rigid surfaces we like to call sea floor? The melted ice continues to contract until 4.9 degrees Celsius, that''s until 40.8 degrees Fahrenheit. I do believe we will see a contraction, a sort of global depression and some huge wave action due to classical gravity. The drop in volume local will induce a decrease in relative pressure which would drop average temperatures in the atmosphere as heat redistributes to accommodate pressure flows. The rising water on average was 1 thousandths of a meter per year, the temperature curves from history to not support the spike. The models fell short of predicting the ice melts, what happens if they are as far off predicting ice formation and its locations? I don''t think this puppies quite been collared yet, and a total lack of production in carbon compounds could cause a partial pressure catatastophe by politically correct brashes.

What will CondumbAsses do if they figure out that Rush Limpball has been lying to them? NOTHING, they will just continue to go through life with their heads up their greedy fatasses!

One day in the future, all the money of the oil industry won''t be able to protect the billionaires from the Sun. They can go into their under ground fortified bunkers and cook like a roast on low heat long after we are gone. That probably would be a fitting way to end it for them after all the pain and suffering they have doled out to the world.

If we don''t find some alternative clean way to create energy, eventually, the constant burning of fossil fuels will destroy mankind.
