Climate science from climate scientists
I am far from being a fundamentalist. But I read too many blogs ridiculing the subject. Looking at the global situation, we need input regarding what measures we can take to save what we can. The CO2 present in the atmosphere will continue heating the planet, regardless of measures taken from now on. We in industrialized countries have a huge moral responsibilty towards the rest of humanity. We have to contribute to constructive solutions in humility and in a spirit of cooperation.
btw China has a much lower CO2 output thanks to larger forested areas. They have 5 times the US population. Look what CO2 production the third world has, their poverty is what is preventing the climate from decompensating altogether.
This subject cant be treated like Ufology. We need to do something for the following generations.
Blogging saves no lives. we need a joint action.
ziusudra,
“Blogging saves no lives. we need a joint action.”
This is quite true none-the-less, I will continue to share that which I feel helpful on my blog and others can do the same. Some blogs are reader based and have a following, people follow and frequently visit blogs which share topics they may have missed elsewhere. I applaud your fever for action and quite possibly your comments will motivate others to be more concerned.
Thank you for the links.
Just look at this one :

The USA are the number one polluter of the planet. The only sensible and decent subject of discussion is to argue on HOW the USA can rescue humanity from the climate change they are most responsible for. The details you point to are certainly of a certain bibliographic interest, but is the tenth decimal space of a figure really that important ?
Practically, it is irrelevant how fast CO2 concentration, the sealevel and the global warming are increasing in absolute figures. We are facing a very threatening climate change, and something has to be done about it.
I read many ironic messages trying either to ridicule climate alarmists or to confuse the public with controversial figures or statements. You will always find some fact that is not completely in sync with the main conclusion. I think that it is morally not acceptable to downplay or deny evident facts that have been consistently researched and proved by the scientific community. It is no problem for Europe, because over there the climate change is leading to wider variations but no threatening phenomena. In the USA, if you can’t fingure out why there have been so many tornadoes ( EL NINO PHENOMENON), just wait for what is coming, it will simply increase – all climate change denyiers in the tornado belt, stay tuned. And for the worst consequences of global warming, they happen to the third world. Therefore, morally speaking, the worst polluter should not make fun of a man-made climatic change that is threatening the very subsistence of millions of people living in extreme poverty mainly in africa, india and south east asia.
Your points are yours and well put. The only thing any human can do is to respect the Earth and become involved with and implement behaviors which will help to reverse if not preserve the status quo. The links I post here are intended to provide access to valid sources of what is happening and who is working on solutions beyond Government.
Some readers need proof beyond daily news and pundits reporting. Thank you for the time, energy and effort you give to responding. Sincerely, thanks.
