Globul warming is going to get much worse

[eek.]

Government munney still supporting our new age scientologists....

Prof Field said rising temperatures could thaw Arctic permafrost

The severity of global warming over the next century will be much worse than previously believed, a leading climate scientist has warned.
Professor Chris Field, an author of a 2007 landmark report on climate change, said future temperatures "will be beyond anything" predicted.
Prof Field said the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report had underestimated the rate of change.
He said warming is likely to cause more environmental damage than forecast. <!-- E SF -->
Speaking at the American Science conference in Chicago, Prof Field said fresh data showed greenhouse gas emissions between 2000 and 2007 increased far more rapidly than expected.
"We are basically looking now at a future climate that is beyond anything that we've considered seriously in climate policy," he said.
Prof Field said the 2007 report, which predicted temperature rises between 1.1C and 6.4C over the next century, seriously underestimated the scale of the problem.
He said the increases in carbon dioxide have been caused, principally, by the burning of coal for electric power in India and China.
Wildfires
Prof Field said the impact on temperatures is as yet unknown, but warming is likely to accelerate at a much faster pace and cause more environmental damage than had been predicted.
He says that a warming planet will dry out forests in tropical areas making them much more likely to suffer from wildfires. The rising temperatures could also speed up the melting of the permafrost, vastly increasing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, Prof Field warns. "Without effective action, climate change is going to be larger and more difficult to deal with than we thought," he said.

Prof Field said the impact on temperatures is as yet unknown

Now this is him telling us how it REALLY is.

global warming ?Im freezing my a$$ off here in NJ I wish for some 80degree days. Besides we will all be dead in 100 years...Crank up the heat

 

[Coldweather]

It's cold weather where I live still.

:toast:

 

[BCTTWR]

I'm freezing here in Las Vegas. I have the heat running all day. According to the National Journal of Science we are on the brink of an ice age. I believe it.

Oh the insanity. If it wasnt so serious, you would just have to laughhno:

George Will reminds us of the global disaster that faced us back in the 1970s:

In the 1970s, “a major cooling of the planet” was “widely considered inevitable” because it was “well established” that the Northern Hemisphere’s climate “has been getting cooler since about 1950″ (New York Times, May 21, 1975). Although some disputed that the “cooling trend” could result in “a return to another ice age” (the Times, Sept. 14, 1975), others anticipated “a full-blown 10,000-year ice age” involving “extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation” (Science News, March 1, 1975, and Science magazine, Dec. 10, 1976, respectively). The “continued rapid cooling of the Earth” (Global Ecology, 1971) meant that “a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery” (International Wildlife, July 1975). “The world’s climatologists are agreed” that we must “prepare for the next ice age” (Science Digest, February 1973). Because of “ominous signs” that “the Earth’s climate seems to be cooling down,” meteorologists were “almost unanimous” that “the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century,” perhaps triggering catastrophic famines (Newsweek cover story, “The Cooling World,” April 28, 1975). Armadillos were fleeing south from Nebraska, heat-seeking snails were retreating from Central European forests, the North Atlantic was “cooling down about as fast as an ocean can cool,” glaciers had “begun to advance” and “growing seasons in England and Scandinavia are getting shorter” (Christian Science Monitor, Aug. 27, 1974).

Will George Will or his successor do a similar column around 2039 about the hysteria over global warming?

Algore has predicted the northern part of the globe will be warming over the next several months. This is an alarming rate of warming. It has been shown that the amount of sunlight has been increasing for weeks. Darkness is becoming more and more scarce. Scientists are predicting sunlight hours to overtake darkness hours sometime in late March at the current rate.
Drastic measures must be taken to bring back balance.

I predict in late June this trend will reverse itself. Mark it down.

 

[Preussen]

Nonsense, the warming will continue well into July. ;-)

 

[pubguy]

Agreed.

This is the trend that I have gone out on a ledge to predict will reverse itself in late June
