Notice how everything is doom and gloom? Carbon Dioxide is NOT a pollutant, and comprises less than one per cent of our atmosphere (0.0036%). So, "an increase of 35% in the level since pre-industrial times and over half of that since 1970," is statistically insignificant. What if the Earth becomes warmer, how much is too warm?
You got to love these environmentalists; to them the Earth isn't a planet, it's our terrarium to manipulate as they see fit.
Let me point out some contradictions these scientists make in this article:
"We can still turn it around, but here is the world our grandchildren will live in if we don't."By Jean Weiss
And in the next paragraph, she writes, "This change is irreversible,"
_________________________________________
"areas within the U.S. have not had similar rates of change," says Hoerling.
they continue to call it Global Warming, but its not affecting the whole globe...hmmm
_________________________________________
"researchers predict it may be worse than the depressing situation Al Gore foretold"
I must agree, there is nothing more depressing than ALGore.....

The only thing constant about our climate is CHANGE. Without it, the Seasons would not exist and we wouldn't, either.
those who believe global warming is a serious threat (despite the cooling trend) should ask themselves: who will be responsible for regulating global warming and how will they fund its regulation?
What makes people think that they can predict the weather 90 years from now when they can't even accurately predict the weather one day from now????
So you're telling me that a trace gas, carbon dioxide, that only comprises 0.038% of the Earth's atmosphere is causing this "global warming?" Was this person in a coma with all the snowstorms and frigid weather in the northern U.S. during this past winter? This report is lunacy and junk science to the extreme! Go write for Weekly World News! Is global warming being caused by the incredible "bat boy?" I want to challenge the writer of this article to a debate! Bring it on!
I'm a geologist, and what people have to realize is that humans have only been around about 10,000 years (which coincidentally was the last ice age). The earth is about 3.5 billion years old, these wet/dry and hot/cold cycles have been going on a long time, so let's stop pretending we know what were talking about when we have only been around for a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.
