Now it's time for managing the results of Global Warming . . . - 0 views

  • Today, there are three prevalent points of view on global warming. There is no global warming. There are global warming cycles where mankind has no effect. There are global warming cycles where mankind’s actions act as a catalyst.
  • The consequences of global warming are not necessarily the current weather patterns of the moment which occur from time to time naturally. It is the unprecedented speed of the warming cycle. What we are witnessing as a result is the emergence of a new norm in our weather patterns. The results are continuing record incidents of extreme and severe weather.

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism - Forbes - 0 views

  • NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space
  • The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

A Really Inconvenient Truth: Global Warming is Not Real - 0 views

  • A Really Inconvenient Truth: Global Warming is Not Real
  • A Really Inconvenient Truth: Global Warming is Not Real
  • New data shows that in fact the Earth has not warmed at all over the last 15 years. In fact, the Daily Mail reports that the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, after taking data from nearly 30,000 stations around the world, have found that the earth stopped warming in 1997.

    This site states it's points of view very clearly. They do not believe in Global Warming and they have a strong opinion. they claim to have evidence that it ISN'T real.

Global Warming, Arctic Sea Ice, and Climate Feedbacks | Duke Dean's Blog: The Green Grok - 0 views

  • There are lots of reasons to be concerned about this trend, not the least of which is the amplification of global warming through a positive feedback. (Since ice is a lot more reflective of sunlight than ocean water, melting sea ice allows more heat from the Sun to be absorbed instead of reflected, causing temperatures to rise more rapidly, thus melting more ice, and so forth, creating a positive feedback and raising the Earth’s reflectivity, also known as its albedo.)

Effects of global warming already being felt on plants and animals worldwide: 1/03 - 0 views

  • "Birds are laying eggs earlier than usual, plants are flowering earlier and mammals are breaking hibernation sooner," said Terry L. Root, a senior fellow with Stanford's Institute for International Studies (IIS) and lead author of the Jan. 2 Nature study.

HowStuffWorks "If the polar ice caps melted, how much would the oceans rise?" - 2 views

  • You may have heard about global warming. It seems that in the last 100 years the earth's temperature has increased about half a degree Celsius. This may not sound like much, but even half a degree can have an effect on our planet. According to the U.S.
  • But the rising temperature and icebergs could play a small role in the rising ocean level. Icebergs are chunks of frozen glaciers that break off from landmasses and fall into the ocean. The rising temperature may be causing more icebergs to form by weakening the glaciers, causing more cracks and making ice mo­re likely to break off. As soon as the ice falls into the ocean, the ocean rises a little.
  • The main ice covered landmass is Antarctica at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting. In fact in most parts of the continent it never gets above freezing.

  • There is a significant amount of ice covering Greenland, which would add another 7 meters (20 feet) to the oceans if it melted. Because Greenland is closer to the equator than Antarctica, the temperatures there are higher, so the ice is more likely to melt.
  • But there might be a less dramatic reason than polar ice melting for the higher ocean level -- the higher temperature of the water. Water is most dense at 4 degrees Celsius. Above and below this temperature, the density of water decreases (the same weight of water occupies a bigger space). So as the overall temperature of the water increases it naturally expands a little bit making the oceans rise.
  •  
    the temperature of the world has increased .5 degrees Celsius over the last 100 years. The heat is melting the icebergs. The sea levels have risen 15-20cm over the last 100 years.90% of the world's ice is in Antarctica.
