The American Denial of Global Warming

Polls show that between one-third and one-half of Americans still believe that there is "no solid" evidence of global warming, or that if warming is happening it can be attributed to natural variability. Others believe that scientists are still debating the point. Join scientist and renowned historian Naomi Oreskes as she describes her investigation into the reasons for such widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientific consensus and probes the history of organized campaigns designed to create public doubt and confusion about science.

Since the end of last year, world temperatures have fallen by more than half a degree, as the cold ‘La Nina’ effect has re-emerged in the South Pacific.

Add to that, we’re now well into the second decade of the emerging cooling trend.Along with a continuing lack of evidence that anthropogenic co2 causes any significant global warming/climate change, it has become clear the climate models are bunk. And the implications for some scientists because of this could be very serious.

CONFIRMATION MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING CANCELLED.

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

Climate change drying out forests in western Canada

.

Research shows northern forests in the three prairie provinces are drying up and shrinking from drought caused by climate change, while the eastern boreal forest is holding its own. A paper published Monday suggests the forests are already emitting more greenhouse gases than they absorb.

@arryhuk The only one who is heading into the abyss with blinkers on. is you doomsayer..Cease your wild fearmongering nonsense.Humanity is doing fine and will continue to do so.What do you think is going to happen? The seas will rise 100 metres and then boil!! cooking everyone in the process, you are quite mad.beyond point of reasonable thought..

[arryhuk]

Well,well,well,we (mankind) are certainly heading into the abyss with blinkers on.We are sat on the edge of a very dark episode in the Earths history,a dark episode brought about by an,apparently, 'enlightened' species.

The unbelievable truth is that we,mankind,largely,remain unaware of the great threat that stares us in the face,which is of course is due to ourselves.

To ignore this threat is plain stupidity,action needs to be taken soon.

Don't be a dumb denier,get smart.

Global temps are flat even as CO2 has risen almost 8% since 2001. 2011 looks like the third coldest year of the ten in the NASA and UAH data sets. The anomalies are supposed to be greater (1.2 times) for the lower troposphere as measured by UAH than the surface as measured by GISS because the atmosphere is where the CO2 is supposed to do its trapping work according to the theory. Instead the surface anomalies are three times higher suggesting surface contamination and a failed/incomplete theory

snow a thing of the past!!

Parts of eastern, central Europe buried by snow

As much as 10 feet of snow in some areas.

obama turns up at various companies to push green , on each trip it is usually in a 22 vehicle convoy running on, yep you guessed it - fossil fuels.

Even with the government money, they are failing. Yesterday Indiana-based Ener1, an energy storage company that received $118.5 million from DOE, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
