The earth has been alternating from hot to cool and back again(with a trend towards cooling) since long before humans have been on this planet. Most global warming advocates will only show you temperature trends from the last few thousand years and claim that’s proof of global warming. The earth has actually been cooling rather steadily for at least the last 70 million years(start of the Cenozoic). The earth is as cool as it’s ever been. Scientists know this through the study of core samples of ice and Planktic/Bethnic Foraminifera.

Info on Planktic/Bethnic Foraminifera. Look at applications section…

Chart showing the Temp drop since the Cenozoic. Notice the dramatic rise in temp at 15 million years. I wonder if the apes were driving SUVs around?…

A chart showing the last 700,000 years. Notice that we are about at the peak of a warming trend. Also notice that the Earth has been this warm and even warmer in the past….

So yes in the short term the earth is warming but we have very little if anything to do with it. In the long term scope of things we’re as cool today as we’ve ever been.

Some of those storms will be in winter, so you’ll get lots of snow. That doesn’t mean it’s colder, just that your receiving more moisture (more intense storms). Over decades you may notice your snow season getting shorter at the ends. That tends to mess up birds, trees, etc. and over time many may find themselves living in the wrong climate.

The 100-Year Forecast: Stronger Storms Ahead

As Earth gets warmer, large regions will experience heavier rain and snowfall as weather becomes generally more intense, according to a new study.

“The models show most areas around the world will experience more intense precipitation for a given storm during this century,” said lead researcher Gerald Meehl of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

A warmer world will also mean a wetter one.

“On average the global precipitation increases in a warmer climate,” Meehl told LiveScience.

The increase in rain and snow will be on average about 10-20 percent, Meehl said. The more intense storms will most likely happen in late autumn, winter, and early spring. The largest increase in precipitation will occur over land in the tropics where the atmosphere is warming quickest.

Based on computer models, Meehl and his colleagues expect that the regions most likely to experience the more intense storms are places where large masses of moist air converge. These regions include northwestern and northeastern North America, northern Europe, northern Asia, the east coast of Asia, southwestern Australia and the south-central regions of South America.

The reason for the increase in storm intensity is that as the planet warms, the temperatures of the atmosphere and of the ocean surface go up as well, leading to increased evaporation and an increased capacity for the air to hold moisture. As this soggy air moves from ocean to land, the storms that form are heavier with rain or snow.

And wot JSB said. Funnily, the change of attitude is taking hold in a few unlikely places including mainstream industry. Hope for us yet.

People need to recognise that global warming is just one of the damaging outcomes of wasteful consumerism. Unless people change their behaviour rising fuel prices, widespread polution and global warming will cause enormous suffering. They need to recognise that simpler lifestyles are more fun and more sustainable. We need to recognise that global warming and environmental concerns are not in conflict. Economic development based upon wasteful use of resources is unsustainable and certain to lead to economic as well as social and environmental damage. On the other hand simpler lifestyles conserve resources and lead to health and wellbeing benefits.

Once people recognise these facts they will begin to demand policies that set our economies in the right direction. Instead of encouraging debt fuelled consumerism governments must encourage frugality and the development of sustainable economic activities. Carbon taxes can be used to reduce demand for fossil fuels and the revenue can be invested in sustainable energy generation and the aleviation of poverty. This later point is important because the gap between rich and poor will make change more difficult to achieve.

Governments must cease to measure their success in tems of Gross Domestic Product and should develop measures of wellbeing instead. It is far better to improve health and happiness rather than the volume of goods consumed. Economic activities that generate power sustainably or that conserve power should be encouraged and those that waste resources (such as aviation) should be discouraged. (At present aviation receives enormous tax concessions throughout the world with the consequence that it has grown enormously at the expense of other less wasteful industries such as dometic tourism).

Best wishes for a more sustainable future.

Global wharming is associated with much more abundent life in plant, animal and marine species. So hopefully our flora and fauna will stop becoming extinct as we get back to our normal warmth.

There are many facts here

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn’t start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.
2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers
Floods & droughts
Great hurricanes & cyclones
Seasonal extremes
Seasonal phenomena’s
Species extinction
New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

Stop Global Warming!!!

It might help you to understand that Global Warming is better described as “excess energy in the biosphere”; it isn’t all about temperature.

The excess energy being stored in the oceans due to AGW is immense (1.3 BILLION 1MegaTon atom bombs per 1 degree C rise) and this energy affects the water cycle. This in turn affects weather patterns which become more extreme. The hot days are hotter and the cold days are colder. It snows and rains more at one time, but less frequently (i.e. drought or flooding, all or nothing scenarios). Heat is a driving force for many natural processes which convert heat to other forms of energy. For example heat makes water evaporate which makes clouds which create static electricity which creates lightning.

I hope that helps you understand a little better that it doesn’t just mean that temperatures go up. The energy may be converted to other forms.

Here’s one that states record snowfall in Alaska:
