Heat goes on: Earth headed for warmest year on record

  1. Hey jerm, I sell tons of greenhouse gasses and CO2 producing HVAC systems.

    And the following is still true. LOL


    The scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming, and that it is extremely likely (at least 95% probability) that humans are causing most of it through activities that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels. In addition, it is likely that some potential further greenhouse gas warming has been offset by increased aerosols.[1][2][3][4]This scientific consensus is expressed in synthesis reports, by scientific bodies of national or international standing, and by surveys of opinion among climate scientists. Individual scientists, universities, and laboratories contribute to the overall scientific opinion via their peer-reviewed publications, and the areas of collective agreement and relative certainty are summarised in these high level reports and surveys.

    National and international science academies and scientific societies have assessed current scientific opinion on global warming. These assessments are generally consistent with the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report summarized:

    • Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as evidenced by increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, the widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.[5]
    • Most of the global warming since the mid-20th century is very likely due to human activities.[6]
    • Benefits and costs of climate change for [human] society will vary widely by location and scale.[7] Some of the effects in temperate and polar regions will be positive and others elsewhere will be negative.[7] Overall, net effects are more likely to be strongly negative with larger or more rapid warming.[7]
    • The range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.[8]
    • The resilience of many ecosystems is likely to be exceeded this century by an unprecedented combination of climate change, associated disturbances (e.g. flooding, drought, wildfire, insects, ocean acidification) and otherglobal change drivers (e.g. land-use change, pollution, fragmentation of natural systems, over-exploitation of resources).[9]
    No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of these main points. The last national or international scientific body to drop dissent was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists,[10] which in 2007[11] updated its statement to its current non-committal position.[12] Some other organizations, primarily those focusing on geology, also hold non-committal positions.

    Anyone with a brain stopped believing NASA on January 28th, 1986.

    NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, routinely lies to the public about atmospheric conditions, I have seen if for myself at the World Weather Briefings at NOAA in Silver Spring, Maryland. Certain weather conditions trigger Federal relief efforts so those conditions are suppressed unless patently obvious.

    preserved...
    footnote...
    no scientist has ever one the nobel prize for showing man made co2 causes warming
    no paper has ever shown man made co2 has causes warming in the earth atmopshere.
    many papers show that the sun and clouds influence temperature.
    Many papers have also shown that co2 matches but trails warming... both up and down throughout history.

    agw nutters are increasing arguing for a co2 causes warming in the gaps theory... because as we learn more.. there is less impact man made co2 could be having.

    finally in a planet with a rapidly increasing population... would you want more plant food or less?

  6. CO2 levels control the the temperature of the planet.....

    Another completely false narrative.

    Only a moron would believe the lies in the above post. Only a shit for brains would post it.

    Do you consider $21 billion a limited operating budget?

    that was based on old models and understanding... nasa currently admits it has no idea if co2 causes more high clouds or low clouds and whether those clouds would create warming or cooling..

    I have pointed this out to you multiple times.

    and quoted this to you many times... from your article...



    "Our climate modeling simulation should be viewed as an experiment in atmospheric physics, illustrating a cause and effect problem which allowed us to gain a better understanding of the working mechanics of Earth’s greenhouse effect, and enabled us to demonstrate the direct relationship that exists between rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and rising global temperature," Lacis said.

    Climate change is UN-led hoax to create 'new world order' – Australian PM's adviser

    The Australian prime minister's chief business adviser says that climate change is a ruse led by the United Nations to create a new world order under the agency's control. The statement coincided with a visit from the UN's top climate negotiator.

    Maurice Newman, chairman of Prime Minister Tony Abbott's business advisory council, said the UN is using false models which show sustained temperature increases because it wants to end democracy and impose authoritarian rule.

    "It's a well-kept secret, but 95 percent of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error," he wrote in an opinion piece published in The Australian newspaper on Friday, without providing evidence.

    "The real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook,” he said, adding that the UN is against capitalism and freedom and wants to create a “new world order.”

  10. It's been known for over a hundred years that CO2 largely controls the earth's temperature.
    It's just keeps getting proven over and over again.

    Besides, you troll liar, NASA has never said that they know if CO2 causes mostly high clouds or low clouds.

    They do know that there is no question that CO2 warms the earth. No question about that. And that AGW is true and happening. Only idiots deny AGW.
