 [Rashid's Blog] Global Warming: Definitions,Causes,Trends, Effects and Climate Change: The Fourth Assessment Report released in 2007, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that “there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”. As seen below, The Report also shows why there is cause for deep concern:

 [The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] Energy Strategy for ETH Zurich: A Critical Review: To extend the point a little, I think that continually reemphasizing this mantra of 'Zero Growth' is a diversionary sort of language to use when in fact there are all sorts of things that need to be growing, including our gardens, our solar and wind installations and companies, our sharing of solutions, our own muscular strenghths and lifestyle habits. I don't think you are, in fact, denying any of this, but when talking of informing and inspiring people to action, it works against the message if this theme of 'No Growth' continues to be the motto.

[Carbon Nation] A Rhetoric of Irony: The U.S. National Science Board pointed out that during the last twenty to thirty years, world temperature had fallen, "irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade." The leading culprits in a global cooling were thought to be particulates from industrial sources, increased cirrus clouds due to jet airplane contrails, and the configuration of the Earth's orbital elements according to the astronomical theory of the ice ages."So my initial reaction to Postrel's comment was, This is strange. He is making up a theoretical event that has already occurred, and supposing that geo-engineering solutions to it would never emerge, when they had already been proposed.

 [Enter Witty Comment Here] Global Warming my Rump: Here's a weird question: I picked up the "Anita Blake" Graphic novel adaptation (seems more like a short story adaptation, whatever) can't say I'm especially fond of the world-building/plot so far (maybe I'm just not that into vampires) but for anyone who's read it: Is it any good? The art in the graphic novel is decent overall, but I'll not list my beefs (mostly with the strand of hair constantly in the heroine's face, which is something I did back in the day my characters eyes were not symettrical, so most of them ended up with sunglasses).

 [Packbat's Journal] A fact is a terrible thing to distort.: "Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG [greenhouse gas] concentrations. It is likely that there has been significant anthropogenic warming over the past 50 years averaged over each continent (except Antarctica) (Figure SPM.4)

 [CREEC] Global Food Security: • Even if global greenhouse gas emissions ceased today, there’s sufficient gas already in the atmosphere to guarantee Global Warming. Because oceans respond more slowly than our atmosphere, they will continue rising for 100 years or more;

 [Blue Marble Climate] Some papers that Naomi Oreskies migth want to read”¦ or not.: Several Holocene fluctuations in snowline, comparable in magnitude to that of the post-Little Ice Age warming, occurred in the Swiss Alps. Borehole records both in polar ice and in wells from all continents suggest the existence of a Medieval Warm Period.

The people that do ...: Tests for all the children and for Christopher Plummer (including singing in his own voice before he was dubbed for the film) were included on Hollywood Screen Tests and Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Sound of Movies. Again, they’re not critical but it would have been nice to have them all in one place.

[Jennifer Marohasy] Round Up from Marc Morano: 12, 2007, the U.S. Senate released a report from over 400 scientists, many of whose names were attached to the IPCC report without their permission, expressing a range of views from skepticism to outright rejection of the theory of anthropomorphic global warming. In simple terms, the IPCC report lies.

[AMS Station Scientist Forum] Flooding and Climate Change: [San Francisco] Ongoing flooding in the mid-western and north-eastern United States is consistent with expectations of heavier rainfall and snowfall events related to a warming climate as projected in the consensus reports issued last year by the Nobel-prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

[trumbullnaturecenter.com] The impact of global warming in North America: This higher density of early warning signs in the US and Canada is due in part to the fact that these regions have more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change, in part to the disproportionate warming that has been observed over the mid-to-high-latitude continents compared to other regions during the last century, and in part to capture the attention of North Americans who need to take action now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

[Yes, ICantSeeYou] Global warming: Just deal with it, some scientists say: But critics say a major flaw in the adaptation strategy is that the effects of global warming will be unpredictable. It may be possible to adapt to some easily identifiable effects, but when the ecology of an entire planet is altered by rising levels of carbon dioxide, nobody understands the full range of potential perils.

[Chaos Manor Musings] UN IPCC in 'Panic Mode' as Earth Fails to Warm, Scientist says: Knowing that their models are non-predictive and that despite their exhortations world temperature isn’t currently increasing, the IPCC has the effrontery to argue in 4AR that a decline in the sun’s activity and increased eruptions from volcanoes would “likely have produced cooling” of the planet were it not for offsetting human-caused warming. And this when there have been no recent volcanic eruptions of global import, and after 15 years during which the warming alarmists have consistently denied that solar activity is a significant cause of recent climate change.
