Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reached New Highs In 2012, World Meterological Organization Says

Of course it gets worse every year - and every years there are articles like that one saying "worse this year than last".

Good to see at least the US doesn't lead in this category these days...

U.S. once had air pollution to match China’s today

In other news glaciers melted creating the Great Lakes, Ohio & Mississippi rivers.

Tell your friends...

What do they know? It's not like they have instruments to measure these things.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations.

Oh, boy. Why am I not surprised.

Blame politicians who have turned everything in our lives into political issues. Science is not supposed to be edited by politicians, either - but it is.......and very heavily. When listening to a scientist........follow the money. Where's his funding coming from. It makes a big difference in the science that person is purporting.

When greenhouse gases become the problem, SCIENTISTS will be reforesting. Period. Politicians will be seeing how to make money from it.

Perhaps even more than alcohol, the Atlantic Cod was the single most
important resource in early American history, and it allowed the USA
to become the greatest economic power in recent world history.
(It was, in fact, both a primary reason for the Revolutionary War,
and one of the biggest reasons we were able to win it!)

Scientists of the time warned, begged, and pleaded with the government
and the public at large, trying to get them from over-fishing.

But the larger fishing companies began a campaign of rumors, lies,
misinformation, and "fish stories" that convinced just enough people
not to worry about it that nothing was ever done.

Among the articles, they often took a fact such as how the cod
lays millions of eggs, and then explained that it was arrogant to
imagine that mankind could have any effect on a creature so well
protected by "god".

Thus, one of the most successful creatures in the history of this planet
was decimated to the point that they still haven't recovered over a
hundred years later, and might not ever.

When US Constitution was signed, Atlantic Cod was one of the cheapest
foods in the world, normally reserved for the extreme poor, slaves, and
for trade with other countries. Atlantic Cod was the "Ramen Noodles"
of early America.

This morning at the grocery store, Atlantic Cod was over $28 per pound.

Also - you'll know that our Government is serious about our situation and not just money-grabbing, once they put sanctions on China. Until then, it's impossible to take them seriously.

Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation - Telegraph

Sigh.

The Arctic ice is at a 15 year HIGH. Sea warming around the Arctic is usually because there are underwater volcanoes in that area.

The Antarctic is an Archipiélago -- sitting on mantle plumes. When those get agitated we see some pics of "severe" warming down there. I'm not sure if ice is up or down there right now.

Some people check the dates of satellite pics before believing what are being told about "warming".

Claude -- I did science newsletters and 7 years of daily quake tracking on my site. I f***ing LOVE earth science. That's why I'm not biting a lot of the warming scam. I KNOW scientists. I've built enough rapor that they know full well when they say "off the record" that's where what they tell me stays. Keeping integrity with info has made me privy to some very interesting info.....especially in the field of Archaeology. I don't pretend to "know everything" in the fields - but I know the guys that do and I love learning from them.

There's some very high test cl;climatologists at www.icecap.us These guys aren't gov funded and have the credentials that over-ride gov bullshyte.

Nobody is denying that the earth is experiencing climate change. It always has - what would be really bizarre is if that stopped. Somehow humans forget that we aren't supposed to expect everything to be just comfy cozy just for us. We're nearing the climate of the 70's again very rapidly, and other than in a few places that the deforesting is doing real damage, have gained in crop yields over the last couple years. However - once we go past the 70's in cooling, you're going to some really bizarre excrement hitting the air conditioning. Trust me on that one.

On a note aside from warming - back to archaeology. ....just to reference what the science community authorities are like:
I have a friend who had a small expedition in WY. They discovered some gold artifacts that were just amazing. They took them to the "authorities" for validation. The authorities refused to acknowledge the artifacts. Reason? Because they were found deeper than it was "possible" for them to exist. Period. The date would have been older than the "community" is willing to accept that people using such artifacts could have been around. This is what you are dealing with when you deal with scientific "authority" -- and the more funding they are pulling from the gov, the worse it gets.

Those artifacts, by the way, were melted down for the gold since there was nothing else that could have been done with them. Our scientific "authorities" are used to doing the world major injustices for their own positions and egos.

IPCC scientists are noted for having "opposing views" from the rest of the scientific community. Wonder why. Does it make sense to you that C02 could cause extreme warming if volcanic action paired with low sun activity would not cause cooling? There's a complete lack of logic in the premises in the IPCC argument.

If you want to worry about climate change................what you might want to start worrying about is why this sun cycle is so damned weak.

Following myob's lead I will also post failed predictions - (After you're done reading that, come back and see me - I have a good cure for baldness using **** berries... )

Claim Jan. 1970: “By 1985, air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half.” Life Magazine, January 1970. Life Magazine also noted that some people disagree, “but scientists have solid experimental and historical evidence to support each of the predictions.”
Data: Air quality has actually improved since 1970. Studies find that sunlight reaching the Earth fell by somewhere between 3 and 5 percent over the period in question.

Claim April 1970: “If present trends continue, the world will be … eleven degrees colder by the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.”Kenneth E.F. Watt, in Earth Day, 1970.
Data: According to NASA, global temperature has increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1970.

Claim 1972: “Artic specialist Bernt Balchen says a general warming trend over the North Pole is melting the polar ice cap and may produce an ice-free Arctic Ocean by the year 2000.” Christian Science Monitor, June 8, 1972.

Claim 1989: “Using computer models, researchers concluded that global warming would raise average annual temperatures nationwide two degrees by 2010.” Associated Press, May 15, 1989.
Data: According to NASA, global temperature has increased by about 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1989. And U.S. temperature has increased even less over the same period.

I could keep going - I'm only up to 1989 - but you get the picture.

Climate change alarmists have a history of badly missed predictions, almost to the point of being a parody, not to mention the shadiness revealed in the Climategate scandal.

I tend to side with the skeptics on this one. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire, and when it comes to climate change being a power-and-money-motivated political hoax, there's a ton of smoke.

Exactly! Some of them were wrong, and some of them were liars,
so the entire body of scientific evidence should be completely dismissed.
They are all doing it all for monetary gain.

Instead, we should trust the people who say that nothing is really wrong
and it's all being blown out of proportion. They have nothing to gain
by keeping the status quo.

:rolleyes:
