If it's 60 degrees F, it must be spring ... or not

36. Weather is what't outside;

Climate is weather/time. In other words, climate is the process over which weather trends as shown by graphs and models with time as an x-axis and temps as the y-axis. This is overlaid with the atmospheric CO2 used as the y-axis. The resultant is the hockey stick model that has become so famous/infamous in the media. Peter Sinclair's excellent YouTube video series; http://www.youtube.com/user/greenman3610 explains it so much better than I can do with these few paragraphs.

The world is indeed seeing a trend in climate toward approaching chaos. The high temps, the shift in rainfall patterns, the increased strengths of weather related storms is increasing and the warming world's temps are melting nearly all the ice/snow that's locked up in glaciers and the poles.

Most of the public has no problem with this pattern. It's the energy cartel that is pushing the anti anthropogenic model and causing the under-informed to doubt good science. Even when most of America's people come to realize this is indeed a fact, the politicians' contributions coming from the energy cartel will still favor not adhering to what science has given it's nearly universal approval to and not be enough to allow for effective measures to be taken; in time.

I for one believe (my college major was ecology. I sat through one of the IPCC lectures and it scared the hell out of me. This was without the effects of the melting and the subsequent release of stored methane of the world's tundra being taken into account. The lecturer said this was proposed by the researchers within IPCC but there was so little science being done with the melting of the tundra's methane that they could not, without an accurate model what this release of methane would realistically do they could not, in the end, include it in their release of findings.

The IPCC lecturer said that using a best 'guess' scenario would add 3-5 degrees Celsius, 5-8 degrees Fahrenheit for those not growing up in President Carter's losing attempt to try and get the American public to at least try and learn the system used by most of the rest of the world.) that the next few decades will be the tipping point. We still have time to avert the worst scenario. If all the world's burning of fossil fuels would end today there would still be the rising of temps of 2-3 degrees Celsius and cause oceans to rise the meter or so by 2100. However, after this time frame the continue adding of carbon to the carbon cycle will be just too much and...
