The Climate Crisis Hoax - Forbes.com - 0 views

  • "Many would place the beginning of the global warming hoax on the Senate testimony delivered by James Hansen of NASA [director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies] during the summer of 1988.
  •  
    This is how the author thinks the whole global warming hoax if there is one, began.

    It is a misconception that those  who consider themselves skeptical of the  human contribution to climate change do  not believe that the climate is warming,  and further, that a skeptical point of view  is naïve, dangerous or worse.

    cientists are trending in their own (small) way in The Daily Climate's archives. Michael Mann, the Penn State climatologist who famously likened the sharp rise in the past century's temperatures to the upturned blade of a hockey stick, saw his media profile jump in 2012: 61 mentions, compared to 36 in 2011.

  • Frankenstorm
  • Forecasters say Hurricane Sandy is a rare hybrid superstorm created by an Arctic jet stream from the north wrapping itself around a tropical storm from the south.
  • "Frankenstorm," as it is called, is an outgrowth of the extreme weather changes caused by global warming.

  • Electricity production generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions.

  • missions from industry primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy as well as greenhouse gas emissions from certain chemical reactions necessary to produce goods from raw materials
  • Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture come from livestock such as cows, agricultural soils, and rice production.
  • In the United States, since 1990, managed forests and other lands have absorbed more CO2 from the atmosphere than they emit.
  •  
    In this section of the EPA greenhouse gas page, it states the different sources of greenhouse gas emissions. I understand now, after reading it, that greenhouse gas emissions come from not just one place. They come primarily from electricity production, however hey also come from transportation (planes, trains, cars and boats), Agriculture (cows, livestock), Land use, even from our own homes!

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.
