Scientists at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science are reporting that, "The pace of global warming is likely to be much faster than recent predictions, because industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems." What do you think?
Global Warming May Be Happening Faster Than Predicted

May I use the photo you have on your site of the “Welcome to Arizona” sign?
Thanks.

I think they are right.
I think we need to get very serious Matt. We have to retrain ourselves to get over wasteful bad habits and put conservation into action. It’s been on my mind for several days to blog about the seriousness of our predicament. As I began to do my research your site showed up
I’d like to see each and every guide have a dedicated category which addresse our responsibility to our planet and for each of us to put forwards ways in which we can do the little things that ordinary people can do which add up like savings do over time rather than going on contributing to depletion of resources.
I’d certainly welcome an exchange of ideas.
Global Cooling is here. The figures for 2007 and 2008 show that although the CO2 level went up, the cooling down to 100 years ago happened and there are NO SUN SPOTS, causing the extra cold weather all over the Northern Hemisphere.
Global Warming is a HOAX

It amazes that these stories come out. Your own recent article disclosed that their has been no significant climate change in the last ten years. 1997 appears to be a blip on the radar rather than a significant date in climatology. I agree that we need to remain vigilant in rescuing the environment but continuing these scare tactics will only reduce the credibilty of the science.
I do not believe in global warming and won’t any time soon. Enough scientists realize that with the 400+ years of data available on the earth’s climate, everything is cyclical. What seems too warm for a while will cool down again. Furthermore we humans are not going to cause global warming, as contrary to poplular belief, we don’t have control of that. Global warming is a HOAX.
Mark is completely right there is no such thing as Global Warming at least not in the sense that the mainstream public thinks of it as. It is cyclical climate change and has been happening forever and will continue to happen until there is no more earth. oh and just a little tid bit of information, of all the green house gases that cause “global warming” man creates .28% and yes thats point two eight percent. This is something that people have no control over it’s just a nice way for the government to distract everybody like scaremongers and seize control of civil liberties. You can’t stop climate change it’s going to happen learn to adapt like our race has been doing for centuries and please keep using gasoline its fine it doesn’t hurt the earth.
Okay deniers, how do you explain over 95% of the world’s climatologists onboard with climate change/global warming? As for the cyclical patterns, how do you explain that according to the cycle of these patterns, we should be in a cooling period now? How do you explain the glaciers receding? Same with the ice on Greenland and Antarctica? I suppose you believe the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth too.
