Earth's temperatures * Even if we do experience some consequences from climate
change, we will be able to cope with them * The effects of climate
change are likely to be catastrophic * The evidence for climate
change is unreliable * There are a lot of very different theories about climate
change and little agreement about which is right * Scientists have in the past changed their results to make climate change appear worse than it is * Scientists have hidden research that shows climate change is not serious * Climate change is a scam * Social / behavioural scepticism measures * Climate change is so complicated, that there is very little politicians can do about it * There is no point in me doing anything about climate change because no - one else is * The actions of a single person doesn't make any difference in tackling climate change * People are too selfish to do anything about climate change * Not much will be done about climate change, because it is not in human nature to respond to problems that won't happen for many years * It is already too late to do anything about climate change * The media is often too alarmist about climate change * Environmentalists do their best to emphasise the worst possible effects of climate change * Climate change has now become a bit of an outdated issue * Whether it is important or not, on a day - to - day basis I am bored of hearing about climate change

Earth magnetic
change exists, sunspot number is the representative of the solar magnetic
changes, it is fact that both react on the oceans, the physics is certain But not on each other, and their impact on the oceans is
too small and short - lived [hours for the solar part] to have any significant effect on anything.
There will always only be a theory, because the
Earth is
too complicated for us (at least right now) to understand the implications of
change.
For those reading here who might urge that IPCC showed that TSI variations are
too small to have caused significant climate
changes, I would remind them that Stott, et al. (2003)(pre AR4, and rejected by IPCC) and Tung, et al. (2008)(post AR4) separately showed that
Earth's climate contains a sizeable an amplifier of solar variations.
All in all we can imagine the
Earth's climate took a pounding, with temperatures rising multiple degrees *, precipitation patterns
changing over an already large [thus dry] continent, acidification and anoxia increasing in the oceans — and that this must have had large effects on the terrestrial biosphere
too.
Importantly, whether one thinks global warming poses little or no threat or that the planet is on a path toward catastrophe, the cumulative climate effect of these policies, if implemented, would be a
change in the
earth's temperature almost
too small to measure.
As much as the liberal media, liberal academics and pundits tell Americans that the
earth is
too warm and human beings are the cause for a spike in weather and temperature
changes, there is little - to - no scientific consensus to support these assertions....
This time period is
too short to signify a
change in the warming trend, as climate trends are measured over periods of decades, not years.12, 29,30,31,32 Such decade - long slowdowns or even reversals in trend have occurred before in the global instrumental record (for example, 1900 - 1910 and 1940 - 1950; see Figure 2.2), including three decade - long periods since 1970, each followed by a sharp temperature rise.33 Nonetheless, satellite and ocean observations indicate that the
Earth - atmosphere climate system has continued to gain heat energy.34
So the first step in understanding the climates of Venus,
Earth, and Mars, is the relative amounts of Greenhouse gases in their atmospheres: Venus has
too much, Mars
too little, and
Earth just the right amount (in fact, water vapor, which is one percent of our atmosphere, dominates most of our Greenhouse effect — but additional CO2 can dramatically
change the amount of Greenhouse effect).
ABC News has the story - and video clip with Diane Sawyer; here's an excerpt: «Here's a dark secret about the
earth's
changing climate that many scientists believe, but few seem eager to discuss: It's
too late to stop global warming.
If the negative effects of climate
change, the rising air temperatures, the
changing precipitation, the prevalence of extreme weather events, and the rising sea levels, become
too disruptive or costly, we have the option to deploy certain climate altering technologies to remove greenhouse gases directly from the air or reflect sunlight back out of the atmosphere before it warms the
earth.
Anjali made a good point in her intervention, ambition and action are not radical, what is radical is
changing the climate of the
earth, sitting back and letting it happen is radical
too.

Earth Science professor at University of London) says the world puts
too much faith in government estimates of carbon dioxide, methane and other heat - trapping gases blamed for climate
change.

too rapidly can cause tremendous trouble, how much more so when the entire
earth is
changing too rapidly?
If we continue with business as usual, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change's (IPCC's) projected rise in the
earth's average temperature of 1.1 - 6.4 degrees Celsius (2 - 11 degrees Fahrenheit) during this century seems all
too possible.
It gives fair approximations of the temperatures of Venus,
Earth and Mars (691 K, 288 K and 221 K versus the observed 735 K, 288 K, 214 K), and is a little oversensitive to CO2 and H2O
changes (3.4 K increase on
Earth with doubled CO2 and 10.2 K increase with doubled CO2 and H2O feedback — way
too high compared to GCM results).
SecularAnimist (# 206) ``... the legitimate scientific question as to whether it is in fact
too late to prevent global warming and climate
change that will be catastrophic to human civilization, not to mention the entire
Earth's biosphere.»
And we'll never be able to do that if we're
too busy transforming SUV drivers and climate
change skeptics into
Earth - hating caricatures.
What I am talking about is, that it seems to me that with regard to climate science, this blog spends far
too much time responding to the phony, trumped - up «debate» fueled by denialist drivel, and not enough time addressing the legitimate scientific question as to whether it is in fact
too late to prevent global warming and climate
change that will be catastrophic to human civilization, not to mention the entire
Earth's biosphere.
We are putting
too big of a burden on the
earth as can be seen by... uh, global warming, I mean global cooling, I mean... climate
change.
Brussels, March 9th - Friends of the
Earth Europe has welcomed a tentative commitment by EU leaders to fighting climate
change at the EU Spring Council today, but laments that the adopted steps are still
too timid.
