Most climate experts concur that dangerous climate change is occurring at a more rapid rate than expected. They also agree that the deterioration in the earth’s climate is primarily a result of carbon emissions from fossil fuel consumption by humans. If you dispute the overwhelming scientific consensus about man-made climate change and the role of fossil fuel emissions, you should probably stop reading now. Evidence is unlikely to affect your opinions.

The anecdotal evidence of climate change is everywhere: melting Arctic ice, new migration patterns for plants and animals and extreme weather events including record droughts, heat waves, epic floods and super storms. The frequency, intensity and costs of such events are increasing at an alarming rate.

Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that the US has not been hit by a category 3 or greater hurricane in over seven years?
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that the frequency of tornadoes in the US is in a lull?
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that the official temperature datasets used to measure the global temperature do not show an increase in the last 17 years? All global climate models(GCMs) overestimate the temperature as judged against reality. GCMs attribute a greater climate sensitivity to CO2 than is evident in Nature.
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that the frequency of forest fires has been decreasing since the 1970s? The 2013 fire season is off to its slowest start in recorded history. And that is a good thing.
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that the Arctic has more ice this year than last at this time?
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that temperatures in the Arctic have been below normal for the last three months (Apr-Jun 2013).
If the Arctic ice is melting why has the US just epnt $55M to refurbish one of its ice breakers? It hopes to get another 10 years out of the ship.
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that Antarctic sea ice has been above the mean for well over a year?
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that ‘storminess’ has not increased in the US since 1900.
Are they unaware or are they ignoring the fact that sea level rise has been revised downward for the year 2100 to 7 inches not the 15 or 20 feet forecast by the ‘models’.
Where is the crisis? It is imaginary and purely political. Pogo Politics.
It seems that all is normal and that 97% of the alarmist predictions are bogus. Ironically, Mother Nature is an AGW denier.
As human emissions of CO2 continue to rise extreme weather is supposed to become more frequent and severe. The IPCC Srex report disagrees.
Here are reports of decreasing trends in:
Interestingly, as CO2 has increased in the atmosphere the failure of green policies has continued to rise as well.
I am sorry that some people have become paranoid over a trace gas in the air that is essential to life on Earth. But that fear does not require us to destroy our standard of living in pursuit of a Phantom of the Atmosphere: trapped heat.
Remember the drought and heatwave of 2012? That was followed by a cold, snowy winter/spring. How come CO2 didn’t trap some of that heat to make a warmer than normal winter/spring? Where did all that summer heat go? Do doo do doo
There is nothing new under the sun. It is just weather. Let the fear in you subside. No need to feel guilty about running the A/C or driving the SUV.
