Global Warming Study Predicts Eastern U.S. Summers Will Be 10 Degrees Hotter By 2080

Oddly enough, some ecologists have made the problem worse by resisting some workable solutions and pursing unrealistic ones.

Irrigating desert areas with waste water and planting trees would remove much carbon, provide shade and *** water run-off.This plan is opposed by ecologists wishing to preserve the desert ecosystem. Don't worry about it. Some deserts will get fried anyway if we don't cool down a bit. We will always have a desert. And if we If we don't solve the problem soon, Antarctica may become a desert ecosystem.


Accelerated water run-off is a big part of the problem. We return water too quickly to the sea without letting it perk through the earth.
The roots and life processes of plants slow waters' return to the sea. The shade helps cool the land.

Planting trees now and irrigating them is a more sure solution than expecting nations to de-industrialize.

Someone231,

I agree with you.

And, thanks to the housing bubble that was created by Greenspan and Co to replace the dot.com bubble, there are going to be a lot of homeless people (via foreclosures) baking in the sun.

I can only sum up that these so called Security Moms were nothing more than Security Idiots. Unless your name is Halliburton, the GOP is not REALLY interested.

Who ever voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 are idiots! Thanks people who did "waves" we are sooo much closer to being in a bankrupt, no government healthcare country, due to your vote. Thanks!

So in your poor fascist mind all this is about POLITICS? ROFLMAO I have often wondered about you fascist and how you live with such small and insignificant minds. If history is any indication we will be FAR better off under a Democratic Administration than under a Southern Fascist Rule. Regardless though this isn't POLITIC'S it's SCIENCE and you Fascist do not have a very good record on that issue. No, you record on issues of the enviroment, when looking at history is nothing but ZERO... Na Da, Failure. So I guess I'll go with the experts Sieg Heil Y'all.

Did anyone notice that April was one of the colder ones on record? No questioning of human-caused global warming then.
But wait til this summer when the first heat wave hits, like heat waves hit every summer.
Then all you'll hear in the news is how it's our fault.

Hey no problem. YOU Crackers will toast and toast to a nice golden brown if these folks are right. Since you refuse to look any further into the matter than what the weather was like last month... since you scope of the issue before us is to ignore the VAST and OVERWHELMING views of people who have studied their entire lives, I guess you deserve to roast to that golden brown. Sieg Heil Y'all. ROFLMAO

Ahm with ya buddy! We may not be smart, but we know what we know, raht?

There is in fact a consensus in the scientific community that global warming is occurring, that it is caused by greenhouse gases, and that human beings are contributing to those gases. I defy anyone to present peer reviewed studies that have different conclusions. Please do not confuse climate and weather. One cold month doesn't disprove global warming any more than one hot month proves it. Also, please keep in mind that the Bush administration, until recently, actively suppressed information on climate change from Government agencies because it didn't fit their policy agenda. The president has now conceded that the vast majority of scientists are correct and that we are causing global warming. His solution? A small increase in production of ethanol. Read Michal Pollan's book "The Omnivore's Dilemma" for a very fun to read explanation of why Ethanol is a dumb idea. The real solution (and the reason a lot of folks seem to refuse to believe the truth) is that the way to stop global warming is to use less fuel. This is the great challenge of our generation. I believe we can rise to it, but in order to do so the level of debate has got to raise. In order to have a real debate about Global Warming policy, we need to agree on the facts. Then we can argue until we%u2019re blue and red in the face over what actions to take.

And so it continues. A "prediction" of the weather 70 years in the future that is taken as fact like it's already happened.

Did anyone notice that April was one of the colder ones on record? No questioning of human-caused global warming then.
But wait til this summer when the first heat wave hits, like heat waves hit every summer.
Then all you'll hear in the news is how it's our fault.

[hawksprings2]

For some reason my posts don't seem to be getting on the board. Must be global warming...

[hawksprings]

What will be 10 degrees warmer this summer will be the news reporting of every single heat wave that hits and claiming that proves human-caused global warming. But when there's a cold weather event, like this past April being one of the coldest on record, we're told you can't disprove human-caused global warming by an isolated incident.

It's the new consensus of double-speak and ridiculing doubters.

[metro586-2009]

How difficult is it to predict that it will be warmer and dryer in the future when the past 17 years have been wetter and colder that average.
This is so NON-NEWS that it's laughable. The summer of 2085 MIGHT be 10 degree warmer than the summer of 2005, when the summer of 2006 was already 5 degree cooler than average?
Come on, your just looking to fill empty space in the newspaper from lack of advertisers, how pathetic.
