Global Warming...New Report...and it ain't happy news

It is 90 % certain that global warming is man-made.

And if I squint really hard it almost looks like the entire Atlantic Ocean is covered in ice like Ionus claimed. But I really, really, really have to squint to make it all look like its covered in white.

Increase taxes of course.

Here is some evidence supporting the existence of global warming.

Ionus, the new home of anti-capitalists, extreme socialists, communists, etc., is the environmental and global warming movement. It offers a great opportunity for such types to demonize capitalism, diminish it, and replace it if they can swing the deal.

It is NOT 90% certain, SOME believe it is 90% PROBABLE. It damages your argument if you use emotions to colour facts. It makes you seem afraid of the facts. Or worse, incapable of understanding the argument.

Be very suspicious of anyone mixing climate and weather. As little as is known about the climate, even less is known about long term weather. The weather for the last 10,000 years has been remarkably stable. It is not known why. We could be coming out of that stable period for reasons seperate from any Global Climate trend.

The polluters and other miscreants have no concern that they are driving us to the brink of extinction.

A Reality Check From the Brink of Extinction
Posted on Oct 18, 2009

With polar ice caps melting at a record rate, the Arctic is expected to be an open sea during summers within a decade.

By Chris Hedges

We can join Bill McKibben on Oct. 24 in nationwide protests over rising carbon emissions. We can cut our consumption of fossil fuels. We can use less water. We can banish plastic bags. We can install compact fluorescent light bulbs. We can compost in our backyard. But unless we dismantle the corporate state, all those actions will be just as ineffective as the Ghost Dance shirts donned by native American warriors to protect themselves from the bullets of white soldiers at Wounded Knee.
...
The reason the ecosystem is dying is not because we still have a dryer in our basement. It is because corporations look at everything, from human beings to the natural environment, as exploitable commodities. It is because consumption is the engine of corporate profits. We have allowed the corporate state to sell the environmental crisis as a matter of personal choice when actually there is a need for profound social and economic reform. We are left powerless.

Alexander Herzen, speaking a century ago to a group of Russian anarchists working to topple the czar, reminded his followers that they were not there to rescue the system.

“We think we are the doctors,” Herzen said. “We are the disease.”

The statement is based on credible scientific findings of fact, not the right-wing contrarian nonsense that pervades this bulletin board.

The warming trend over the past 10 years has far exceeded any other 10-year period. It is the trend that counts, not temperatures over a single year.
