Global warming unequivocal

As southeast Texans swelter under what local National Weather Service forecasters label a “death ridge,” the latest federal report on climate change indicates the abnormally high temperatures, oppressive humidity and dearth of rain may offer a taste of typical Houston summers to come. Issued as Congress debates how to reduce man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the globe, the study by top government scientists, entitled “Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,” warns that Americans are already feeling the effects of global warming, which will rapidly get worse.

As the report states, “global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced.” Climate-related changes are already being observed and include increases in heavy downpours, melting glaciers and lengthening growing seasons.

If the current run of days in the high 90s here seems intolerable, just wait. According to projections, by the last few decades of this century the number of days over 90 degrees in southeast Texas will increase from 75 to 165 days a year, making a Houston summer that much more daunting.

Still recovering from Hurricane Ike, Gulf Coast residents can expect rising sea levels that will endanger low-lying communities, roads, rail lines and vital oil and gas industry infrastructure. Gulf waters could rise three to four feet by 2100, pushing beaches back while bringing salt water much farther inland.

Tropical storms are likely to be more intense due to warming sea waters, while the southwest United States can look forward to prolonged droughts and water shortages in major urban areas.

Average U.S. temperatures have already risen 1.5 degrees in the past half century, and could range from two to 11 degrees more if current levels of carbon dioxide emissions are not lowered.

We covered this already ... you ignored what you couldn't debate and then just ranted and repeated the same damned thing over and over again. We know you only accept peer pressured scientific reports and nothing else, so we also know you are blind as a moonbat.
 
CO2 causes the earth to retain heat.

We have increased atmospheric CO2 by 40% in the last 200 years.

We are adding 7 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every year.

Therefore, we have warmed the earth.

So ... how does less than .01% of the atmosphere being changed cause such a drastic heat increase? Better, how do you ignore the influence of solar activity and plant CO2 consumption if your assumption is correct in the least? Then what about all the other possibilities you have ignored?

... take your time, you ignored quite a lot.

do you get all hot and bothered when Old Roxy whispers that in your ear?

The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
 
We really don't know enough about the carbon cycle to make really good policy yet.

Where I am we have been having unseasonably cold temperatures all year.

Just because you want it does not make it so.
 
Chris, please send some of this global warming over to my neck of the woods. It's been chilly, damp and rainy here for weeks.

The Rise of CO2 & Warming

See, you have only one trick ... this is why no one will take your garbage seriously. It's all the same old crap that was countered time and again, and yet you still have not countered any of the counters ... If you had any real science to fall back on then you should easily be able to discuss all the other points against your hoax without resorting to using the same report reinterpreted by different peer pressured scientists and "blogs".

He keeps waiting for Old Roxy to come on and bail him out.:lol:

In recent years, all major scientific bodies in the United States whose members' expertise bears directly on the matter have issued similar statements. For example, the National Academy of Sciences report, Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions, begins: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise" [p. 1 in (5)]. The report explicitly asks whether the IPCC assessment is a fair summary of professional scientific thinking, and answers yes: "The IPCC's conclusion that most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of the scientific community on this issue" [p. 3 in (5)].

Others agree. The American Meteorological Society (6), the American Geophysical Union (7), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) all have issued statements in recent years concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling (8).

The drafting of such reports and statements involves many opportunities for comment, criticism, and revision, and it is not likely that they would diverge greatly from the opinions of the societies' members. Nevertheless, they might downplay legitimate dissenting opinions. That hypothesis was tested by analyzing 928 abstracts, published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and listed in the ISI database with the keywords "climate change" (9).

The 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.

hey, all you AlGore followers, PLEASE send some of that there gorebal warming up to Maine
so far we have had a grand total of THREE DAYS of temps in the 80's this year and it is currently in the low 50's
so, PLEASE send some up here, we could use it
 
CO2 causes the earth to retain heat.

We are adding 7 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every year.

Therefore, we have warmed the earth.

The density of CO2 on Mars far greater than the density on Eath both as a component % of what little atmosphere there is up there and in raw numbers as in how much is there.

Despite this the surface temperature of Mars would freeze water. If there was any water.

Why is the effect of CO2 nil on Mars and a driving force on Earth?
