Climate Change: WHO be crazy?

So the climate-change debate has reared its ugly head again...mostly the topic of whether or not "it" is happening. Here is a non-partisan reality check on the subject.

Well that was clear as mud- Still love ya.

@MrSteelduck that was my point exactly. there is no clear solution. one side argues that its not happening, the other that anyone who doesnt believe its happening is an idiot. No solutions given, no solutions possible. It's an inevitable occurence influenced by humans, or natural by nature. Nickname it whatever you want...it's happening.

The current level of atmospheric CO2 is higher than at any time in the past 15 million years.

When CO2 was last that high, "global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today, the sea level was approximately 75 to 120 feet higher than today, there was no permanent sea ice cap in the Arctic, and [there was] very little ice on Antarctica and Greenland."

So that's where we're headed, thanks to burning fossil fuels.

correction: 400,000 years ago

That's what you asked.

Here's one of the landmark scientific studies about the process:

"The recent completion of drilling [of ice cores] at Vostok station in East Antarctica [shows that] ... present-day atmospheric burdens of these two important greenhouse gases [CO2 and methane] seem to have been unprecedented during the past 420,000 years."

interesting viewpoint. I think what is clear and people should ask "Why did the Koch Brothers fund the Tea Party with signs and speakers claiming climate change is a hoax?", especially when they are in the energy business. also, the government isn't taxing people for the dirty air, they are punishing corps that won't upgrade their equipment.

this is a great example of why america is down the toilet. Real Chick - have you considered the root cause and questioned your god - capitalism. Thats why no govt is able to address AGW. Man made??? Not quite true. the people of Chad, Bolivia, PNG, Iceland, Cuba, Mongolia, etc have clean hands. Are we keeping up Chick?

[BruceH59]

The best and brightest experts in the world studied it for 30 years. Their solution is to tax us to death. That is an embarrassment if our best and brightest experts can;t find real solution then it waste of time. The other point you might to check into is how the grant money is use to hire scientist to give pre determine results. Track the money.
