Global Weirding Is Here
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/1…The fact that it has snowed like crazy in Washington — while it has rained at the Winter Olympics in Canada, while Australia is having a record 13-year drought — is right in line with what every major study on climate change predicts: The weather will get weird; some areas will get more precipitation than ever; others will become drier than ever.
...
China is quietly laughing at us right now. And Iran, Russia, Venezuela and the whole OPEC gang are high-fiving each other. Nothing better serves their interests than to see Americans becoming confused about climate change, and, therefore, less inclined to move toward clean-tech and, therefore, more certain to remain addicted to oil.

Did comet smashup unleash Earth's mini Ice Age?
http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/re…Fancy science here. I hope some day we take our blinders off and actually look at the geological evidence at hand and stop trying to make it fit into our "theories". I don't buy the creationist tale that the earth was created and all plant and animal life appeared in seven literal days. Nor do I buy the evolutionists fable that the earth must be a bazillion years old. The geological layer chart hanging in most classrooms does not actually exist anywhere on this planet. And no matter how technical we get with radiometric dating, the interpretation of the results is still based on our own preconceived assumptions. The evidence I've seen indicates that this was once a very warm planet with very lush vegetation, even at the poles. Something happened that drastically changed the climate very quickly, resulting in massive flooding that buried forests and other plant life in thick layers of sediment, caused continental plates to rise and fall, and eventually led to what we now call the "ice age". When and how all this occurred is a matter of debate, but as long as our scientists are more concerned about protecting their schools of thought and the validity of their precious "theories", it's doubtful that any thing close to the truth of what actually happened will ever reach our ears.
- Your understanding of the science is a FAIL btwTheBlueOne
- Anyone who puts air quotes around theories doesn't understand what theories are supposed to be.TheBlueOne
- At least your consistently a moron whether it's science or politics. So +1 for consistencyTheBlueOne

Noted anti-global-warming scientist reverses course
Lomborg, a Danish academic, had previously downplayed the risk of acute climate change. A former member of Greenpeace, he was a vocal critic of the Kyoto Protocol -- a global U.N. treaty to cut carbon emissions that the United States refused to ratify -- as well as numerous other environmental causes.

- please don't bring thing older than 10 years in the debate!!!
Cpt Obv.georgesIII - If this is what you're going to say in 10 years, is all what's discussed today irrelevant?raf
- Nice 35 year old single article. You changed my mind Raf.DrBombay
- please don't bring thing older than 10 years in the debate!!!

If I ever meet someone who thinks Global Warming is a hoax I immediately put them in the "Complete Moron" category and will never take them seriously again.

No hoax. Exaggerated and blown out of proportion by the media? Yes.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300… Watching this movie right now.. According to this movie anyways: Jackhole oil companies are burning the waste oil they produce daily that equals something like 10 million homes worth of Carbon dioxide emissions in Africa is really alarming...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arj…
Everyone's coming up to me half in tears, 'Arj what about Global Warming — what about Climate Change and the planet?' and everybody's convinced that that the earth has a problem — because it's so hot. But how come I don't hear a single intelligent individual aside from myself suggest the seemingly obvious possibility that the Earth is just fine thank you — but there's something wrong with the sun! 'Cause I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure that son of a bitch is where all the heat is coming from. And all I'm sayin' is, when I burn my toast, I don't blame the bread. [crowd cheering] Wow. You guys really love toast jokes.

HA HA HA HA!
- this would make sense if bread originally had a protective natural atmospheric system stop itself from being burnt********
- way to ruin the fun dodeca...honestly
- What a fucking ignorant toolbag!utopian
- sry jokes are only funny when they make sense********
- take it easy, its a fucking joke, s a obviously, the guy is literally a comedian********
- i am taking it easy, its just a shitty joke********

CERN: 'Climate models will need to be substantially revised'
New atomsmasher research into cloud formation

CERN's 8,000 scientists may not be able to find the hypothetical Higgs boson, but they have made an important contribution to climate physics, prompting climate models to be revised.The first results from the lab's CLOUD ("Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets") experiment published in Nature today confirm that cosmic rays spur the formation of clouds through ion-induced nucleation. Current thinking posits that half of the Earth's clouds are formed through nucleation. The paper is entitled Role of sulphuric acid, ammonia and galactic cosmic rays in atmospheric aerosol nucleation.
This has significant implications for climate science because water vapour and clouds play a large role in determining global temperatures. Tiny changes in overall cloud cover can result in relatively large temperature changes.
Unsurprisingly, it's a politically sensitive topic, as it provides support for a "heliocentric" rather than "anthropogenic" approach to climate change: the sun plays a large role in modulating the quantity of cosmic rays reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
