Climate Change

[RomanMVP]

Glad I found this thread. Quite simply, for me, I'm amazed at the climate change deniers refusal to look at the hard evidence, only to remember their motivation to hang on to such childish, delusional belief systems come from the political and religious right, where such people always distance themselves from the SCIENCE of climate change, and instead focus on the ECONOMICS of climate change, i.e., greed.

DEP officials have been ordered not to use the term “climate change” or “global warming” in any official communications, emails, or reports, according to former DEP employees, consultants, volunteers and records obtained by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting.

Meet the Merchants of Doubt: The PR Firms Giving You Cancer, Causing Acid Rain and Killing the Planet
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...causing-acid-rain-and-killing-the-planet.html

A new documentary, Merchants of Doubt, shows how you’re being lied to.

Merchants of Doubt shows how the tobacco industry realized smoking caused cancer as early as the 1950s, but stonewalled the issue for decades by hiring PR firms to refute legitimate scientific research. “This whole strategy was created and raised to a fine art by the tobacco industry,” says Oreskes. “And once they developed this tool kit, they spread it. They tried to develop allies in other industries who also felt threats from inconvenient science. That you couldn’t trust science, and what was needed was ‘sound science.’”

This strategy, which Kenner’s film traces through the tobacco, dioxin, asbestos and fossil fuel industries, involves several key elements:

• Paying scientists to do research that will support the industry’s claims.
• Setting up organizations with names like Citizens for Fire Safety and Americans for Free Enterprise, which purport to be legitimate advocacy groups, but are really just shills for corporate interests.
• Creating a class of media savvy “experts,” who may or may not be scientists, but whose basic function is to debate, and cast doubt on, the work of legitimate scientific researchers.
• Making these experts available to journalists, to provide “balance” in the reporting of these issues, even when there is no real scientific debate about the subject.

In Florida, officials ban term 'climate change'
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article12983720.html

The state of Florida is the region most susceptible to the effects of global warming in this country, according to scientists. Sea-level rise alone threatens 30 percent of the state’s beaches over the next 85 years.

But you would not know that by talking to officials at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the state agency on the front lines of studying and planning for these changes.

DEP officials have been ordered not to use the term “climate change” or “global warming” in any official communications, emails, or reports, according to former DEP employees, consultants, volunteers and records obtained by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting.

The policy goes beyond semantics and has affected reports, educational efforts and public policy in a department with about 3,200 employees and $1.4 billion budget.

Global warming 'set to speed up to rates not seen for 1,000 years'
By 2020 the average temperature rise per decade will be 0.25C in the northern hemisphere, more than double the 900 years preceding the 20th century

Smith SJ, Edmonds J, Hartin CA, Mundra A, Calvin K. Near-term acceleration in the rate of temperature change. Nature Clim Change.advance online publication.
http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate2552.html

Anthropogenically driven climate changes, which are expected to impact human and natural systems, are often expressed in terms of global-mean temperature. The rate of climate change over multi-decadal scales is also important, with faster rates of change resulting in less time for human and natural systems to adapt. We find that present trends in greenhouse-gas and aerosol emissions are now moving the Earth system into a regime in terms of multi-decadal rates of change that are unprecedented for at least the past 1,000 years. The rate of global-mean temperature increase in the CMIP5 archive over 40-year periods increases to 0.25 ± 0.05 °C (1σ) per decade by 2020, an average greater than peak rates of change during the previous one to two millennia. Regional rates of change in Europe, North America and the Arctic are higher than the global average. Research on the impacts of such near-term rates of change is urgently needed.

Arctic Sea Ice Plunges to Record Low Extent for Late Winter
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2929

Instead of easing toward its typical March maximum in coverage, the Arctic’s sea ice appears to be more inclined toward getting a head start on its yearly summer melt-out. As of Sunday, March 8, Arctic sea ice as calculated by Japan’s National Institute of Polar Research extended across 13.65 million square kilometers (Figure 1, red line). This value is more than 450,000 sq km--roughly the size of California--below the record extent for the date.

MERCHANTS OF DOUBT takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. http://sonyclassics.com/merchantsofdoubt/

Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver- tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.

The Insiders: Republicans move from denial to despair on climate change
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ove-from-denial-to-despair-on-climate-change/

Ed Rogers’s piece last week on global warming is timely in a number of respects and worth reading to see how the Republicans, having lost their argument that global warming is not real and man-made, have shifted to a new argument: Global warming may be real, but the solutions cost too much and won’t work anyway. The new Republican argument against doing anything to combat global warming has moved from denial of its existence to despair of its mitigation. This is what passes for progress today in the Republican Party.

Climate change can suck my balls. NASA has been caught red handed changing the data. Im so sick of people trying to convince us humans that we are the problem. Meanwhile the fucktards that lecture us about how we should piss in the shower to save water and lower our standard of living just as an excuse to turn the western world into a communist state and make us all poor, fly around in private jets and own multiple mansions that use ridiculous amounts of electricity and emit a shit ton of their favorite demon co2. Fuck the royal families, fuck Obama, and fuck everyone like Warren Buffet, that ice cream cone eating fake liberal pussy.

Merchants of Doubt about Global Warming Hope to Strike Back
http://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ubt-about-global-warming-hope-to-strike-back/

Before the release this Friday of the documentary "Merchants of Doubt," S. Fred Singer sought the advice of nearly 30 climate skeptics about their chances of halting the movie and whether he should sue Naomi Oreskes, who co-authored the book on which it's based.
