I think you and others could do more to
change attitudes in the U.S. on
global warming by joining

The transformation of forested lands by human actions represents one of the great
forces in
global environmental
change and one of the great drivers of biodiversity loss.
While news journalists and internet bloggers are busy headlining scary stories invoking the presumed causal link between anthropogenic CO2 emissions and floods and droughts and
global warming, robust scientific evidence of naturally -
forced climate
change has continued to rapidly accumulate.
Predicted
changes in orbital
forcing suggest that the next glacial period would begin at least 50,000 years from now, even in absence of human - made
global warming (see Milankovitch cycles).
He then uses what information is available to quantify (in Watts per square meter) what radiative terms drive that temperature
change (for the LGM this is primarily increased surface albedo from more ice / snow cover, and also
changes in greenhouse gases... the former is treated as a
forcing, not a feedback; also, the orbital variations which technically drive the process are rather small in the
global mean).
Important manifestations of such external
forcing from space to the atmosphere are the variations in different solar parameters such as the solar irradiance (including solar UV) and solar particle fluxes, which can induce
changes in the atmosphere both at local and
global scales, and can influence over a large range of altitudes.
«They're pretty evenly distributed across the atmosphere,» said Stephen Montzka, a NOAA scientist who monitors
global changes in HFCs and studies their radiative
forcing effects over time.
