What did Chomsky say on Global Warming?

  • The chamber of commerce, the main business lobby, the American Petroleum Industry, other business lobbies have publicly proclaimed, in fact with enthusiasm that they are carrying out a campaign to try to convince the population that global warming is a liberal hoax.

  • and it's succeeded, unfortunately, the latest polls I've seen show maybe a third of the population believes in anthropogenic global warming . . .

  • . . . substantial number of climate scientists who believe taht consensus predictions are much to optimistic . . .

  • . . . the effort to manufacture consent to the beleif that it doesn't mean anything is pretty successful . . . those same ceos and managers who are trying to convince the public that its a liberal hoax know perfectly well that it's extremely dangerous . . .

HMS Investigator, lost in the arctic in 1853, was discovered in 2010.

The Northwest Passage is free of ice longer every year - in consequence, five nations are currently in pursuit of

Territorial claims in the Arctic

  • Under international law, no country currently owns the North Pole or the region of the Arctic Ocean surrounding it. The five surrounding Arctic states, Russia, the United States, Canada, Norway and Denmark (via Greenland), are limited to an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) adjacent to their coasts.

  • Upon ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a country has a ten year period to make claims to an extended continental shelf which, if validated, gives it exclusive rights to resources on or below the seabed of that extended shelf area.[1] Due to this, Norway (ratified the convention in 1996[2]), Russia (ratified in 1997[2]), Canada (ratified in 2003[2]) and Denmark (ratified in 2004[2]) launched projects to provide a basis for seabed claims on extended continental shelves beyond their exclusive economic zones. The United States has signed, but not yet ratified this treaty.[3][4]

I guess policy makers know more about the future of the Northwest Passage than you can imagine . . .

Why is warming bad?

because there are over one billion people on the planet dependent on glacial runoff for their drinking water, and once the glaciers all disappear, those people will do one of two things -

  • die of dehydration

  • immigrate

Imagine, a mass of one billion people, environmental refugees, wandering dry places, looking for water - at some point, the needs of survival dictate that many of them will kill, to satisfy that basic human need. We are talking about the prospect of social instability on a global scale. Refusal to do anything to provide a solution is to deny our own humanity, and such a denial on such a mass scale begs the question of whether or not the entire race of man is fit for existence at all.

A warmer climate means we can grow food in a greater amount of area.

That is not the evidence given us by the current environments of TExass or much of the rest of the south west. Rain fall patterns are changing, drought in that specific area is spreading - and that will dislocate the bread basket of the U.S.

How much CO2 is there in the atmosphere?

Answer:

Is it the most predominant gas? What is the most predominant gas?

How does that gas affect global temperature?

Why do global warming graphs generally only look at the past 1,000 years or so?

FACT

WPTZ news is reporting - 2/1/2012 - the maple sap is already running, and there is no snow, haven't gotten half of last years snow.

it's the second warmest year since 1890 - raining and high temp in the 50s - average temp:

  • 28 F

this is VERMONT


From here

  • To make a climate skeptic sputter, you need to as ask him for real evidence — published in a respected, peer-reviewed scientific journal and authored by a scientist with a PhD in climatology — that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 can rise above 450 parts per million (ppm) without affecting global temperatures. No expert will make that claim. The overwhelming majority of climate scientists believe that a global tragedy is drawing nigh.

  • CO2 Now stands at 391.80 ppm


there is not much to debate -

It's about 48 F here in Vermont right now.

And NBC reported last night:

I don't care how much bullshit you peeons put out - I'll keep coming up with more links to more research, and intersperse it with weather updates, and you fools will fall away into silence - sooner or later.

here: todays weather

More weather news:

Brian Williams reported on Thursday, January 5, 2012, that 98% of the nation is above freezing; and 115 cities around the country set all time record high temps for this day.

Jim Cantore elaborated on those numbers to state that of those 115 record high temps, four of them were 41 degrees above average and all time highs not just for day, but the entire month of January.


you should go plant some flowers . . .

New USDA planting zone map shows warmer winters

  • “It’s undoubtedly an effect of climate change. You’re hearing USDA respond to political pressure,” said Bill Sciarappa, the agricultural agent with the Cooperative Extension Service of Monmouth County. “We’ve seen a tremendous shift of plants and animals northward. Agriculturalists have been planning for 10 years on how to adapt.”

  • “One map in itself doesn’t say much about climate change,” said Art DeGaetano, a climatologist and director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University. But “if we look at the (plant zone) maps from other periods, we see the zones migrating northward.”

Planting Zone Map On Seed Packets Updated To Reflect Warmer Century

  • The Arbor Day Foundation issued its own hardiness guide six years ago, and the new government map is very similar, said Woodrow Nelson, a vice president at the plant-loving organization.

  • "We got a lot of comments that the 1990 map wasn't accurate anymore," Nelson said. "I look forward to (the new map). It's been a long time coming."

  • Nelson lives in Lincoln, Neb., where the zone warmed to a 5b. Nelson said he used to be in a "solid 4," but now he has Japanese maples and Fraser firs in his yard — trees that shouldn't survive in a zone 4.

  • Vaughn Speer, an 87-year-old master gardener in Ames, Iowa, said he has seen redbud trees, one of the earliest blooming trees, a little farther north in recent years.

  • "They always said redbuds don't go beyond U.S. Highway 30," he said, "but I'm seeing them near Roland," 10 miles to the north.

Brian Williams reported on Thursday, January 5, 2012, that 98% of the nation is above freezing; and 115 cities around the country set all time record high temps for this day.
