Moral Power for Climate Action VIDEO

from Whidbey Institute Plus 8 months ago Not Yet Rated
The climate crisis is not an environmental problem. It is a
human problem. Humans have caused it and only humans can act to
avert catastrophe. Yet many of us continue to live as if this
crisis isn't happening. Even those who accept the science, and
care a lot. The time has come to go beyond the science, to a
place of heart. The time has come to tap our deepest sources of
moral courage and commitment.

[move][b]Russian Scientists: Global Warming Played Major Role in
Siberian Craters :o [/b][/move]
Giant methane blow-holes in Siberia have many scientists worried
about runaway climate change.
Last night on MSNBC’s The Ed Show, Ed Schultz explained that
scientists believe the massive craters are caused by thawing
permafrost and directly linked to the abnormally hot Yamal
summers of 2012 and 2013. As temperatures rose, the permafrost
thawed and collapsed, releasing methane that had been trapped in
the icy ground.
Joining Schultz last night was Dr. Reese Halter, distinguished
conservation biologist and author of nine books, who said, “This
is a ticking time bomb. The only thing we can do is reduce the
amount of fossil fuels that we are spewing daily, 85 million
tons of greenhouse heat-trapping gas, into the atmosphere.”

the forests!

Atlantic warming turbocharges Pacific trade winds
Date:August 3, 2014
Source:University of New South Wales
Summary:
Rapid warming of the Atlantic Ocean, likely caused by global
warming, has turbocharged Pacific Equatorial trade winds. This
has caused eastern tropical Pacific cooling, amplified the
Californian drought, accelerated sea level rise three times
faster than the global average in the Western Pacific and has
slowed the rise of global average surface temperatures since
2001.

quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the
Earth seems to be cooling down. Meteorologists disagree about
the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its
specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost
unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural
productivity for the rest of the century." – Newsweek: April 28,

That's an excerpt from a story I wrote about climate science
that appeared almost 40 years ago. Titled "The Cooling World,"
it was remarkably popular; in fact it might be the only
decades-old magazine story about science ever carried onto the
set of a late-night TV talk show.

/>Now, as the author of that story, after decades of scientific
advances, let me say this: while the hypotheses described in
that original story seemed right at the time, climate scientists
now know that they were seriously incomplete. Our climate is
warming -- not cooling, as the original story suggested.

SNIPPET EXPOSING THE FOSSIL FUEL AND NUKE PUKE DISINFORMATION
CAMPAIGN:

> There are many lines of observational evidence that the world
is warming, including globally rising air and ocean
temperatures, retreating glaciers worldwide, increasing sea
level, decreasing Arctic Sea ice extent, and mass loss on the
ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica," he wrote. "In addition,
an entire new body of climate science called 'detection and
attribution' convincingly shows that the observed climate
changes have distinctive space-time patterns that are consistent
with causes due to human activities."
>
> The counterattack had started by the beginning of the 1990s.
The purported evidence against global warming included the news
articles on cooling by myself and others.
>
> Some commentators, such as Dixy Lee Ray, former chair of the
Atomic Energy Commission, asserted that the articles represented
climate scares that inevitably turned out to be untrue – as
would the idea of global warming, they asserted.
>
> Others took a less subtle route. The articles proved, they
argued, that the atmosphere was cooling and that there was no
reason to change that conclusion. In that view, climate science
never changes.
>
> However, both types of warming deniers, along with
policymakers who have consistently opposed any regulation
designed to reduce acid rain, the destruction of the ozone
layer, and other perceived ills, have consistently used the
articles – particularly mine – as ammunition.
>
> But that's just one line of attack. Mann suffered another
starting in 1998, after he published an article in the journal
Nature; that included a "hockey stick" model that demonstrated a
dramatic increase in the rate of recent global warming.
>
> "I was at the receiving end of the attacks from many of the
same individuals, think tanks, and organizations implicated in
past attacks on other climate scientists, such as [late]
climatologist Steve Schneider," he wrote in an email. "The
attacks on climate science and on me specifically have escalated
for a simple reason: As the scientific evidence becomes clearer
and the threat becomes clearer, it takes yet more disinformation
and propaganda to obscure the truth. Hundreds of millions of
dollars have been spent by fossil fuel interests
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714191329.bmp<br
/>seeking to muddy the waters. That has, in turn, provided cover
for politicians doing their bidding in opposing any attempts to
regulate carbon emissions."
