Not 97% but .3% of Climatologists agree.

"Man-made climate change contributed to some of 2012's most extreme weather, including the spring and summer heat waves that baked parts of the United States and Hurricane Sandy, which devastated coastal communities along the eastern coast of the country, according to a new report.

The study, which includes research from 18 different teams from around the world, examined 12 extreme weather events from last year and found that human-caused global warming increased the likelihood of half of the incidents, while the others were dictated by naturalweather variability.

"We've got some new evidence here that human influence has changed the risk, and has changed it enough that we can detect it," Peter Stott, a climatologist at the United Kingdom Met Office, the U.K.'s national weather service, told reporters in a news briefing on Thursday (Sept. 5). "There's a great deal of variability, [but] nevertheless, we've seen evidence for that increase in risk.""

This is quite amusing because this article does NOT REFLECT WHAT THE ACTUALY REPORT SAID.

The report says that it is very difficult to associate the weather events with man-made climate change.

The clowns writing this article quote tiny pieces of the report out of context trying to make the conclusions appear 180 degrees opposite of what was stated.

Here is a link to the report - http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/BAMS-D-13-00085.1

It's a simple concept. There is more energy in the atmosphere due to the higher heat and water vapor content of the air. This is resulting in more intense weather events. It's just plain physics. There is no doubt about this fundamental truth.

Only it's not. Intense weather is on the decline. This years hurricane season for example is the weakest in 30 years.

Yes it's difficult, not impossible. Your reading comprehension could use some improvement.

The article certainly does reflect the most salient points of the study. Your warped interpretation not withstanding.



Couple that with rapidly rising sea levels and the potential for disasters like Sandy become greater.

One year means shit, stupid. I suppose you base your long term holdings on the tick chart also.

Traders late to see the trend change say the same thing

No, just the entries.

Why don't you put your rather poor reading comprehension skills to work and read all 74 pages of the actual report.

You always state that your never read links that others post. Obviously you have not read the actual report at the link I posted.

lying ass troll... the question was do greenhouse gases also cool the earth at times.


WATER VAPOR FROM NASA (Much bigger Greehouse gas than CO2)


"Water in the clouds holds in some of the heat from Earth's surface. But the bright white tops of clouds also reflect some of the sunlight back to space. So with clouds, some energy from the Sun never even reaches Earth's surface.

How much the clouds affect the warming or cooling of Earth's surface is one of those tricky questions that several NASA missions are aiming to answer."

Quote from futurecurrents:

Hey ignorant troll, do you realize that the thermosphere has nothing to do with AGW? That CO2 is greenhouse gas? Do you understand the difference between a blanket and a thermostat regulated heating system. Based on your absurd argument, you do not.

Science absolutely DOES have proof that CO2 causes warming of the earth. Your contention that it does not is laughable and absurd. It is akin to saying we have no proof that smoking causes health problems.


Here's what Exxon says... Exxon......You know, the huge fossil fuel company. Perhaps you have heard of it.......


"Rising greenhouse-gas emissions pose significant risks to society and ecosystems. Since most of these emissions are energy-related, any integrated approach to meeting the world’s growing energy needs over the coming decades must incorporate strategies to address the risk of climate change.

Stabilization poses a significant challenge, especially for CO2, the most significant of the GHGs emitted by human activities. Atmospheric CO2 interacts with the biosphere and oceans such that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for many decades and accumulates today at about one-half the rate of emissions."

AEROSOLS FROM NASA

Scientists do not understand how aerosols affect regional and global climate. They are not even sure whether aerosols are warming or cooling our planet.

Instruments on these satellites are collecting information on aerosols:

DOES MAN MADE CO2 WARM OR COOL THE EARTH IN THIS PART OF THE CYCLE

Science was relying on modeling studies for the answer.
The models failed...

So the answer is science does not know.

so what?


This is what The Weather Channel says..

More than a century's worth of detailed climate observations shows a sharp increase in both carbon dioxide and temperature. These observations, together with computer model simulations and historical climate reconstructions from ice cores, ocean sediments and tree rings all provide strong evidence that the majority of the warming over the past century is a result of human activities. This is also the conclusion drawn, nearly unanimously, by climate scientists.

There is evidence in recent years of a direct linkage between the larger-scale warming and short-term weather events such as heat waves.
In some regions there has been a tendency for an increase in precipitation extremes, both wet (including floods) and dry (droughts). These observations over the past several decades are consistent with what theory and global climate models would suggest.
