NASA finds statistical evidence of global warming »

Posted By Aidenag 1 year, 1 month ago in Science & Technology

A new NASA-led study shows human-caused climate change has made an impact on a wide range of Earth's natural systems, including permafrost thawing, plants blooming earlier across Europe, and lakes declining in productivity in Africa.

    It will be interesting to see the spin of naysayers on this one.

    Studies such as this AND the current cost of petroleum are TWO good reasons for promoting large increases in energy conservation.

    --Rethinking car size

    --Rethinking the increased cost of energy efficient auto designs

    --Rethinking the distance between work and home

    --Rethinking mass transit options

    --Rethinking the Nation's rail system vs highway system for hauling goods

    --Rethinking temperatures inside of buldings (why do executives need to wear coats in the summer?)

    --Rethinking the cost of improving energy conservation in older as well as new buildings.

    The nation also needs to increase the amount spent on energy research and development.

    As I have said all along, whether or not we are causing global warming we should do everything we can to cut our pollution simply because it's the right thing to do. Not to mention our energy usage.

    "The link between human-caused global warming -- generated by industrial and vehicle emissions of carbon dioxide to produce a temperature-boosting greenhouse effect -- and observed biological and physical changes is very strong.

    On a global scale, the correlation is more than 99 percent between the two factors; on a continental scale, she said, the correlation if very likely between 90 and 99 percent."

      Even McCain has acknowledged this. Of course he is for it at the moment, but he used to be against it, before he used to deny it before .... Yup.

      The denial monkeys are people who dump in their own bath tubs and think it doesn't effect their baths.

      It's a good thing Propeller isn't presented in John Water's "Oderama"!!!

        "On some continents, including Africa, South America, and Australia, documentation of observed changes in physical and biological systems is still sparse despite warming trends attributable to human causes. The authors concluded environmental systems on these continents need additional research, especially in tropical and subtropical areas where there is a lack of impact data and published studies".

        Sounds like the cart before the horse ...

        An assumption it is happening; now lets go find the evidence.

        Poor aidenag ... he's having a rough spring with his GW agenda.

        It's not easy to claim overheating when you need a coat and sweater.

        the problem with this article -- it only is looking at 20 years out of billions of years

        and to quote many who are climbing all over the "gw deniers" as they call them -- I don't see a peer reviewed article here.

          If you believe humans cause Global Warming then you deserve to loose your freedom and pay higher taxes. But don't drag me along with you.

          This story is in contrast to NASA's own charts showing steady temperature over the last few years.

          Yes it was "arbitrated" meaning political.

          Remember we were all going to die of skin cancer because of the ozone and fluorocarbons. Well the fluorocarbons have been out of the atmosphere ever since they took away our freon and alcohol based washer fluid and the ozone hole is bigger than ever. Proof humans played no role in the ozone depletion.

          They lied then and they are lying now. Just common sense which many are lacking. But they got your emotions running high! That works!

          BTW. It was Al Gore back then and Al Gore screwing your now!

          History repeats itself and your still buying it!

          It's pretty obvious the world is slowly but surely coming around to the idea that global warming is real.

          Because science has been tainted and politicized, especially here in America, we will continue to hear from the skeptics.

          But they will quietly fade as more and more environmental disasters continue to pile up.

          And one day we will all awaken and wonder what the hell were we thinking!

            NASA has been caught in the recent past rearranging and cherry-picking data to fit an agenda:

              They should look at HAARP. The project of heating the ionosphere.

              The global warming may be the result of "monkeying" with weather patterns.
