'Has there been ?recent? warming? Yes, the global climate has definitely warmed since the Little Ice Age (about 1400-1700 AD), and it will likely continue to warm for another 200-300 years, in fits and starts, towards a max temp roughly matching that of the Medieval Warm Period. That time followed a colder period before the founding of Rome between about 750 BC to 200 BC. By 150 BC the climate had warmed enough for the first grapes and olives to be cultivated in northern Italy. As recently as 1,000 years ago, Icelandic Vikings were raising cattle, sheep and goats in grasslands on Greenland?s southwestern coast.'

'Then, around 1200, temperatures began to drop, and Norse settlements were abandoned by about 1350. Atlantic pack ice began to grow around 1250, and shortened growing seasons and unreliable weather patterns, including torrential rains in Northern Europe, led to the ?Great Famine? of 1315-1317.

'Temperatures dropped dramatically again in the middle of the 16th century, and although there were notable year year-to-year fluctuations, the coldest regime since the last Ice Age (that so-called ?Little Ice Age?) dominated the next hundred and fifty years or more. Food shortages killed millions in Europe between 1690 and 1700, followed by more famines in 1725 and 1816. The end of this time witnessed brutal winter temperatures suffered by Washington?s troops at Valley Forge in 1777, and Napoleon?s bitterly cold retreat from Russia in 1812'

'Although temperatures have been generally mild over the past 500 years, we should remember that significant fluctuations are normal. The past century alone witnessed two distinct periods of warming. The first occurred between 1900 and 1945, and the second, following a slight cool-down began quite abruptly in 1975. That second period rose at very modest rate, if at all, until 1998, and then stopped and began falling again after reaching a high of 1.16ºF above the average global mean temperature. There hasn?t been any warming for at least a decade and a half, and possibly, considerably longer.

It?s also worth remembering that about half of all estimated warming since 1900 occurred prior to the mid-1940s despite continuously rising CO2 levels. Also consider that, even today, about 97% of all current atmospheric CO2 derives from natural sources.'

Time to pack up, Mars... here we go!

lol...awesome

you forgot to post this ... :1orglaugh

The polar bear is often regarded as a marine mammal because it spends many months of the year at sea.[33] However, it is the only living "marine mammal" with powerful, large limbs and feet that allow them to cover miles on foot and run on land

in all seriousness all the stuff in the cartoon would be very cool indeed, but I don't think Al Gore can make it happen :2 cents:

breaking:

An international team of climate scientists says it is 95 to 100 percent confident that human activity -- largely from burning fossil fuels -- is the main cause of global warming since the 1950s, according to a leaked draft of the upcoming report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The report, the first by the IPCC in six years and set to be released in September, also says that global sea levels could rise more than 3 feet by the end of this century if no action is taken to curb the worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases before then.

The panel found it "extremely likely" that humans were responsible for "more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010," the draft report says, according to the New York Times.

You shouldn't question a huge religious belief Grapesoda. Like many religions, it has a large infrastructure built around it, that depends on unquestioning faith and will brook no argument. Besides, you aren't going to convince believers, you will simply hurt their feelings, offend and anger them. Just leave it alone and in a hundred years or so, (with the accelerated culture changes of modern society), it will gradually move back into it's place as a private belief and stop trying to control everything.

All IPCC climate models incorporate theory which predicts that “anthropogenic” (human-caused) global warming will be evident in an “amplification” of a surface warming trend that is revealed as an atmospheric “hot spot” in the tropical troposphere. Instead, both satellite data and independent balloon data show a near-zero trend from 1979 to 1997, followed by a well-known 1998 temp “spike” which is universally attributed to a Super-El- Niño. This absence of an observed hot spot suggests that the land-surface temperature warming trend (1979-1997) is greatly overestimated, and should be close to zero in the Tropics.

So where does the evidence needed to support the IPCC’s 95 percent certainty claim come from? The true answer is that there simply isn’t any. None at all. There never was…only totally unproven theoretical climate models. :winkwink:

btw maybe it's time to stop 'retweeting' and calling that thoughts? you know? seriously this is stuff I've known for 20+ years, yet the common narrative created by groups and people seeking GOVERNMENT FUNDING constantly deny this research ...

you still live in a lies?

Good , someone make profit from the stupidity of the people around

Our little planet is a grain of sand.

A few degrees more or less for the universe is nothing.

A thousand years for a 13.7 billion years old universe is mere seconds.

I don't believe in anything I hear or read coming from the big media.

:thumbsup

so it's the lizard people and the illuminati then?

Nature will find its way. It Always does, it's called evolution.

yup.....

just everything is in order like always man , the spicies that you mention on some metaforical level dont want to tell that we are the alians on this planet and that we are completly ready to make a new colony on other planet before we use the recourses or evoluate from type zero into type one beings, which means that we need to stop use death energy and start to learn more about to control the free alive energy , shortly just about your few words , not into it this night , but hope you understand me:thumbsup

Sometimes it's called extinction :thumbsup

We are coming out of an ice age. It's going to get warmer no matter what we do. While we should try to continue minimizing our impact on the environment, we also need to start adjusting to higher temps.

The society when recive this information from all outside world , the next level fear will be "we are safe indoor" and its more cooler , but its all same just the media news are different cuz the good families need to stay indoor to be "safe".

Anyway they will die in the bathroom with broken neck :warning
