Think Tank Led By Former U.N. Secretary General Also Says World Loses $125B Annually From Global Warming

To post such LIES as "We have been in a cooling phase since 1998," only proves how scienfically-challenged these DENIALISTS are, since NASA has shown the 10 warmest years to be in the 12 years SINCE 1998.

Data @ NASA GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis: 2008 Annual ...Jan 13, 2009 ... The ten warmest years all occur within the 12-year period 1997-2008. ... between 0.5 and 1°C warmer than the long-term mean during 2001-2007. ...

the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2
the rise in CO2 is the result of fossil fuel burning.
if CO2 continues to rise over the next century the warming will continue

Yep....but it's certainly not just the continued rise in CO2 helping warm our Earth, but the added methane from the continued rise in cattle farming to feed more and more people in the 21st century, coupled with any natural cycle of warming, that is ACCELERATING the warming much faster than even predicted just a few years ago!

It's actually very lucky that the rest of the world doesn't eat as much meat -- especially beef -- as the average American does, or we'd even see more of an accelerated global warming!

Nah.....it was the busheviks and the GOP-led congresscritters that have already sunk the U.S. and global economy, and given us the bush/cheney recession/depression since 2007. Please get a CLUE!

[evilbusheviks]

Sure.....unfortunately, that "natural cycle" has accelerated by 40% in the past 18 years as compared to the 90 years before. When are you DENIALISTS finally going to look at the scientific facts?

[evilbusheviks]

"Scientists attribute at least some of the past century's 1-degree rise in global temperatures to the atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, byproducts of power plants, automobiles and other fossil fuel-burning sources."

Here's an interesting paragraph.
"at least some"---Doesn't sound very convincing.
" past century's 1-degree rise"-----1 degree since 1909, Doesn't seem to be that fast of a rise.

Guess you missed this paragraph from above in your efforts to remain in total DENIAL, and take a bit out of context to suit your needs:

"Global temperatures have risen 0.22 degrees since 1990, according to one U.S. government estimate. The U.N.'s chief panel on climate change estimates that the risk of increased severe weather will rise if the global average temperature increases between 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit and 3.6 degrees above 1990 levels."

So......by simple math we are able to calculate that the rise in temperature between 1900 and 1990 was 0.78 degrees, or about an average of 0.0086 degrees per year. Then, as the warming has accelerated since 1990, we see an increase of 0.22 degrees in the last 18 years, or an average of 0.012 degrees per year.

This is an average INCREASE over the past 18 years of 40% warmer as compared to the previous first 90 years of the 20th century!

This, added to the fact that the warmest years in recent history have been in the latter part of that 18 years, anyone with a 5th grade intelligence can see the accelerated warming which only is getting worse -- hardly indicative of only a natural cycle. THINK for once, and turn off the FUXX NoNooz propagandists!

Actually, there's been many more stories about global warming over the past year, but they never make it to the FUUXX NoNooz propaganda network. The DENIALISTS will continue to fight the scientific data.

[evilbusheviks]

Yep.....if the entire world ate as much MEAT as the U.S., we would need two and a half worlds to clear vegetation and raise domestic animals for food. Much has to do with the ever-rising population, clearing of the Amazon rain forest which produces 20% of the world's oxygen, and raising cattle which has a huge carbon footprint and produces tons of methane worse than carbon dioxide!

Aaaah....republiCON racism at its finest!

The issue IS, a huge hurricane in the year 300 hitting what is miami beach and a tsunami wave washing over the land would only have destroyed grass, trees and moved sand around, but NOW with millions of people living there, wih billions of dollars worth of houses, contents, boats, cars, businesses etc, such a storm would cause billions in damage, disrupt electrical grids, phones, computer networks, cell phone towers, transportation, business losses would be billions. Then the devastation of having to haul all that now junked building material, furniture, drywall, carpeting, appliances etc to overfilled landfills and in a rush supply all NEW replacements- lumber cut from more trees to rebuild tens of thousands of homes.

So we buld up areas like Miami Beach - KNOWING what happened to the area before - and then cry and whine when nature does what it has always done. All we can do is see it coming and get the heck out of the way.

Yep, and who made this place? the right wingers claim "god" did, ooook, so then this god also made the climate be below freezing and us humans having no FUR to keep warm, so that means we gotta BURN stuff to stay alive. Then this idiot said "be fruitful and MULTIPLY" indeed we multiplied to overrun the planet.
Not OUR fault we have to BURN stuff to keep from freezing to death!
