Extreme Weather & Climate Change

Via Bloomberg: "Heat waves and extreme rainfall in the past decade are probably linked to global warming, according to a study by scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur shares some

That's odd since total solar irradiance has fallen over the last several sunspot cycles, yet the earth's temperature has continued to increase. Yes, the worlds climate has undergone massive changes previously, but that occured over the course of 10's of thousands of years, whereas mans CO2 emissions will have warmed the planet so much that it will be warmer in the next 90 years than it has been for the last million years.

most the the "global warming" issues are coming from the sun and it's changing surface.. emitting more heat.. while we have had effect on pollution, the world has gone through massive changes before and will continue to do so (ie ice ages.. ) there are many causes but the same group that released these statements seeks a tax on carbon emissions making all of us responsible for the weather which is complete nonsense.. think about the major corps that have no regs or taxing! they wont have to pay

Weather tracks (think of storm tracks) are affected too. This year the weather of the Mexican deserts was 'pushed' into the mid-west. Hurricanes reaching further north is another example.

Deniers are now also dening an increase to extreme weather - whats next? 3 frankenstorms have hit northern Eastern Seaboard in 2 years.

Global warming isn't about the earth warming up and getting hotter, its about climate changes.

LOL "It's your theory, not mine." What about the drought - is that somebody else's problem, too? How about wildfires? Fish dying in rivers in the midwest bcz the water is too hot? Ocean acidification from absorbing so much of the CO2 we're pouring into the atmosphere? When does it bcm "your" problem, when it's in your backyard, and your fridge is empty bcz food is so expensive & it's too hot to grow corn in the midwest anymore? Wow. W/ this kind of thinking, we deserve what's coming.

That's not relevant, sdkee, because it has not resulted in any "contaminated data". Data collected from rural areas has shown EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF WARMING. But you'd rather throw out random irrelevancies than acknowledge the truth.
