The Green Files > Extreme weather consistent with global warming, say gov't scientists

Green Daily[Green Daily] As global temperatures have risen, sea surface temperatures have risen. Warmer oceans lead to more water vapor in the atmosphere, and hence, more rainstorms, in a cycle that is the opposite of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

World needs Ushttp://lostestate.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/global-warming-a-natural-cycle-or-human-result/ [World needs Us] Global warming: A natural cycle or human result?: Many global warming experts say the phenomenon, if unchecked, is capable of altering the world’s climate and geography. In the worst-case scenario, experts say oceans could rise to overwhelming and catastrophic levels, flooding cities and altering seashores.

Eternity Road[Eternity Road] Temperature, Global Warming, and How Far is a Degree?: Global warming theory says that the lower atmosphere must then increase in temperature {which causes an increase in the IR escaping to space) until the emitted IR radiation once again equals the amount of absorbed sunlight. That is, the Earth must warm until global energy balance is once again restored.

The reason?

It turned out the only route was to go to Coxs Bazar - Bangladesh’s Blackpool - and then take a small wooden rowing boat that has a huge chugging engine attached to the front.

Eternity Road[Eternity Road] You Can’t Get There From Here: The Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN-Monthly) data base contains historical temperature, precipitation, and pressure data for thousands of land stations worldwide. The period of record varies from station to station, with several thousand extending back to 1950 and several hundred being updated monthly via CLIMAT reports.

Environmenthttp://features.csmonitor.com/environment/2008/06/09/earthtalk-winter%E2%80%99s-future-looks-warmer/ [Environment] EarthTalk: Winter’s future looks warmer: A recent study by the Union of Concerned Scientists on the effects of global warming in the Northeast concluded that, under some scenarios, “Only western Maine is projected to retain a reliable ski season by the end of the century, and only northern New Hampshire would support a snowmobiling season longer than two months.”

During the past 50 years, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen, scientists have made precise measurements of atmospheric temperature.

Rob's Blog[Rob's Blog] Why I Don’t Believe In Anthropogenic Global Warming: To put it in simple terms, in the past much higher CO2 levels did not cause large scale warming so why would anyone expect todays modest levels to have some big effect.

As seen below, The Report also shows why there is cause for deep concern:

Jennifer Marohasy[Jennifer Marohasy] The BBC Changes News to Accommodate Activist: The article pointed out that 1998 remains the warmest recorded year globally, due to El Nino, and that 2008 was likely to be cooler than 2007, due to La Nina. It then went on to say that another record year was expected within 5 years probably due to El Nino - that sentence was removed and not re-instated.

The rapidly industrialising peoples of India and China would, if they adopted our current Western lifestyles, consume at least several times the current carrying capacity of the entire planet.
