New Study: Temp Adjustments Account For 'Nearly All Warming'

[Rajoo]

A real world look at global warming.

A flood of problems

Peru’s glaciers have made it a laboratory for adapting to climate change. It’s not going well.

Hey Folks,
I have been absent awhile. I hope I don't offend by joining the party so late.

A couple of facts. For every gallon of liquid gasoline burned, 3 gallons of liquid co2 is produced. It does not matter what car or what mode it is burned. This is simple chemistry.

Fact two, population is as big of a problem as global warming. Even if GW was a complete and total hoax, absolutely no validity to it, population is going to kill us. Current estimates put the earths population at 32 billion in 100 years. Obviously it can never reach this. Orr systems(food water heating etc) and everything we know will crash before this occurs.

So what is going to get us first, GW or overpopulation?

I'm betting on zombies. That's why I'm thinking about getting a .45-70 Henry rifle and/or a 40mm grenade launcher.

Actually, I think Trump will get us killed first.

Christine Todd Whitman on the hijacking of EPA.

As a Republican appointed by President George W. Bush to run the agency, I can hardly be written off as part of the liberal resistance to the new administration. But the evidence is abundant of the dangerous political turn of an agency that is supposed to be guided by science.

In one sentence and there is more.

On the other side is a tiny minority of contrarians who publish very little by comparison, are rarely cited in the scientific literature and are often funded by fossil fuel interests, and whose books are published, most often, by special interest groups. That Mr. Pruitt seeks to use the power of the E.P.A. to elevate those who have already lost the argument is shameful, and the only outcome will be that the public will know less about the science of climate change than before.

She sure reveals the lies behind whell's absurd "study", doesn't she? Yet clueless whell persists with his bullshit. Sigh.

Whell, the ship has already sailed. The Northwest Passage is open in the Arctic.

A dam glacier the size of Rhode Island has calved away from the Antartic's largest ice shelf.

And you want to hold up a shiny mirror.

A bit more on SUV's.

Is anybody here familiar with the Simpsons episode where Marge is getting an SUV? This car turns the loving and caring mother into an asshole instantly. One of the best Simpsons episodes, by the way.

After watching the episode I better understood why so many Americans need a 3 tons 350 hp car in order to get to the parking lot of the grocery store. (We have quite a lot of SUV's here as well but the percentage number in the States is breathtaking.)

China looks at plans to ban petrol and diesel cars

Guess the Cato climate analysis has not been translated into Mandarin yet.

Could ‘swimming pool’ nuclear reactors help clear China’s winter smog?

This is to slowly replace coal for heating, smaller nuclear local reactors rather than large scale ones that can take years to build.
