The worry has been that with
further global warming such meltwater would increase and have a catastrophic effect on the ice sheet, lubricating its base and making it slide quickly into the ocean.
Not exact matches
For heavy carbon - emitting companies,
global warming policies are typically a threat to their operations, while greener rivals often view
such policies as a way to
further insulate themselves from the competition.
Interestingly, some scientists argue that without the cooling effect of major volcanic eruptions
such as El Chichn and Mount Pinatubo,
global warming effects caused by human activities would have been
far more substantial.
It's not clear how
far north
such thawing might extend if
global average temperatures continue to
warm until they match those from long ago.
But even with
such policies in place — not only in the U.S. but across the globe — climate change is a foregone conclusion;
global average temperatures have already risen by at least 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.6 degree C) and
further warming of at least 0.7 degree F (0.4 degree C) is virtually certain, according to the IPCC.
Efforts
such as these to slow deforestation have delivered some of humanity's few gains in its otherwise lackadaisical battle so
far against
global warming.
Today that projection has changed to 2012, thereby proving emphatically that this
Global Warming process is happening Exponentially, which has been
further advance by our current Administration's policies
such as the «Clear Skies Initiative», which as most of us know is nothing but a «wolf in sheep's clothing».
Global warming, on the other hand, is
far less of an immediate threat, many of its effects can not be reversed no matter what we do, the cost of attempting
such a reversal could destroy the economies of emerging nations and make their development impossible — and it is a slow moving threat, that governments can plan to deal with over time.
We need to not be alarmist about the potential of this alarm, but realize that it is something to be alarmed about if we let this «little»
global warming thing go too
far... on top of the other reasonably alarming things that are already going on,
such as hitting thermal limits for crops, etc..
Likewise headlines
such as ««U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming,» «Washington Post», July 9, 1971 (the scientist in question being a colleague of Dr. Hansen) or Holdren in 1971 predicting an ice age (http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=873), (although, to be fair, in the same book he simultaneously predicted
global warming), or books from 1977 quoting the CIA: «The studies conclude that the world is entering a difficult period during which major climate change (
further cooling) is likely to occur.»
Clearly, however,
far more than a super majority of climate scientists consider
global warming to be potentially a very serious threat; and among those who disagree, few (1.16 %) would consider
such an outcome to be unrealistic.
Heartland's position on climate change is controversial only in the mainstream media (which has decided to treat
global warming the way liberal environmental groups tell them to, as a matter of settled science) and in the view of
far - left organizations
such as «Forecast the Facts.»
If you wonder why the anthropogenic climate change theory («
global warming») is losing credibility among the general population, you need not look any
further than articles and statements
such as your recent paper.
Since CET is about.01 % the area of the Earth, with a
far higher level of technology during 1600 - 1800 than over 95 % of the rest of Earth's surface, it should not be surprising that
such a tiny region so dense with technology would see
global warming in the 17th century.
A
global median of 54 % say that rich countries
such as the U.S., Japan and Germany should do more than developing countries to address
global warming, because they have produced most of the world's greenhouse gas emissions so
far.
Further, it remains a wonder that a registered charity whose task is to educate the public on
global warming could ever put its name on
such a report.
«The climate alarmists maintain that man's emissions of CO2 caused
such a rapid increase world - wide, and
further increases in CO2 will create additional catastrophic
global warming.
Since Texas has had
such bad droughts in the past, the sell of
global warming has been difficult so
far.
Those of us who criticize AGW supporters for running past the evidence on CO2 should not make the same mistake on cosmic rays, and movies
such as The
Global Warming Swindle have gone too
far in portraying this alternate theory as fact.
Further, the extreme heat and crop death that occurs
such as in Subs - Saharan Africa due to the growth of fossil - fuel emissions and resulting
global warming is enhancing heat - stress mortality and famine - related mortality.
While comprehensive climate and energy legislation has thus
far failed to pass the United States Congress, there are a series of vital programs and strategies underway in the United States to reduce
global warming emissions,
such as:
«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will
warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5)
global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The
global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of
such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializ

Global Warming floods and droughts crops, increases insect and fungal growth, increases the spread of said non-indigenous vermin, alters the range of crops to where geology and infrastructure (
such as irrigation and farms) is not favourable (north of the Southern Manitoba bread - basket is boreal forest too acidic for crops and north even
further is only accessible by winter roads)...... these problems are potentially solvable, but certainly as soon as Chinese Himalayan meltwater dries up, or as soon as a Monsoon season fails because of
Global Warming, the next decade of cost savings by following the Republican / Conservative geoengineering «plan»...
such preventable events in the midst of an economic golden age will be looked on by future generations as evil.
... Other proponents of the «chemtrails» theory say it is an attempt to control
global warming, while some cite
far more sinister goals,
such as population control and military weapons testing.»
Natural gas is a fossil fuel whose emissions contribute to
global warming, making it a
far less attractive climate solution than lower - and zero - carbon alternatives
such as energy efficiency and renewable energy.
according to paper 1, the paper by Ramanathan entitled «Trace - Gas Greenhouse Effect and
Global Warming», the author states on page 3 (which is really labeled page 189 since it was in a larger journal i guess) under the section Anthropogenic Enhancement of the Greenhouse Effect — «an increase in greenhouse gas
such as CO2 will lead to a
further reduction in OLR.»
The negative effects of
global warming have been well - documented by activist politicians and scientists
such as Al Gore and David Suzuki, but the positive effects have so
far received less attention.
Although US President Trump has torn up the nation's promise to contain
global warming, and invoked coal as a key part of his energy strategy, other studies have pointed out that coal is a bad bargain: the US would gain
far more in human health, lives saved and return on investment if it put the money into renewables
such as solar power.
Further, recent studies reveal that «rich nations are
warming at a slower rate than poor nations ``,
such a scenario is not possible without
global covert climate intervention programs.
Randomly mentioning the stratosphere cooling is a
far, far, FAR cry from even approaching the viscinity of a claim you believe the earth has trapped: for years — so much heat from the sun that the stratosphere stopped being warmed due to the thermal disconnect at the tropopause — that IS what Magic Gas's claim boils down to — that the lower atmosphere is somehow «hiding» such massive amounts of energy the fact you think it's credible on it's face is aNOTHer indicator which end of the global warming argument pool, you're at, D

Though
such additional
warming will have both positive and negative consequences for human beings and other life on the planet,
global warming scientists believe that the negative consequences
far outweigh the positive consequences.
An important question is whether the lack of continued
global warming in recent years will be temporary, or is this
further evidence that the climate system is more complex than concluded in
such assessments as provided by the IPCC.
The scientific consensus is that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human agricultural and industrial activity are the principal cause of this
global warming [1]--[3] and that
such emissions must be severely curtailed to prevent
further anthropogenic disruption of the climate system [4].
