Tragic Planet

Climate change is accelerating and surpassing even the worst-case scenarios predicted by the models. Meanwhile the world’s nations are bickering over details of inadequate action. Are we committing suicide on an unprecedented scale?

This article: New global warming threat as scientists discover massive methane ‘time bomb’ under the Arctic seabed discusses an actual observation of this very dangerous climate feedback mechanism. The title is misleading because this is no a “new” global warming threat, but something scientists have been predicting for years. Now it has actually been observed, [...]

Exactly 20 years after he first warned Congress about the dangers of Global Warming, Jim Hansen, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Sciences, told Congress on Monday that the world long ago passed the “dangerous level” for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and needs to get back to 1988 levels. He said Earth’s atmosphere [...]

A new study to be published this week shows that increased wind shear might actually mean that global warming will result in less hurricanes.
This is highly controversial and most climatologists disagree with this finding. I think the trend over the last 20 years has been pretty clear that hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent, [...]

As a follow-on to my previous post on our little Canadian Dictator and his position on Global Warming, here’s a very nice little explanation of what is really going on, courtesy of DeSmogBlog.

The response from NASA? Nothing. Nada. Zippo.
Incredibly, NASA has so far completely ignored colleagues from another US government agency that want to make [...]

Once again, the White House has censored a scientific report that discusses the possibility of

diseases becoming a problem under a warmer climate. As many as 6 pages were removed from the report.
It is really upsetting to see a bunch of religious freaks and industry puppets constantly muzzling scientists to suit their political agenda.
