Panel: Earth Is Rapidly Getting Warmer (Utter Nonsense Alert

The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel said in a landmark report released Saturday, warning of inevitable human suffering and the threat of extinction for some species.

After five days of sometimes tense negotiations, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change adopted its fourth and final report this year, along with a summary, on the science of climate change and the effects of human-produced greenhouse gases.

It lays out blueprints for avoiding the worst catastrophes - and various possible outcomes, depending on how quickly and decisively action is taken.

The document says recent research has heightened concern that the poor and the elderly will suffer most from climate change; that hunger and disease will be more common; that droughts, floods and heat waves will afflict the world's poorest regions; and that more animal and plant species will vanish.

Welcoming the report, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said climate change imperils "the most precious treasures of our planet."

The potential impact of global warming is "so severe and so sweeping that only urgent, global action will do," Ban told the IPCC after it issued the report.

The Summary for Policymakers, and a longer version called the synthesis report, distill thousands of pages of data and computer models resulting from six years of research compiled by the IPCC.

It will be a how-to guide for policy makers meeting in Bali, Indonesia, next month to discuss an agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

The report is important because it is adopted by consensus, meaning countries accept the underlying science and cannot disavow its conclusions. While it does not commit governments to a specific course of action, it provides a common scientific baseline for the political talks.

What has Global Warming/Climate Change or any of the other euphemisms have to do with policy other than to keep funding the United Nations IPCC and scientists around the world......(the UN behemoth).

(McClintock on global warming) A must read to understand the crooks cooking the GW books at your expense.

[Brilliant]

Like I’ve said many times... All of our environmental problems can be solved very quickly and easily: Just reduce the world’s population by 50%.

[pabianice]

This sounds familiar...

[B.O. Plenty]

We are all gonna die bump....

[mtbopfuyn]

I wish it’d hurry up because I’m facing major heat pump expenses.

[Sybeck1]

Isn’t there global warming on Mars too?

[Jim Noble]

Is it the view of the Panel that the normal state of what they are calling “climate” is invariant?

[kindred]

[The report is important because it is adopted by consensus, meaning countries accept the underlying science and cannot disavow its conclusions.]

The old world communist moving in American politics pushed and shoved and forced down the throat of the fools who believe these maniac power mad leftist and rino politicians who use the fears of the useful idiots to bring them under govenment tyranny worldwide.
Global warming is a natural occurance and has happened before but the leftist liberals love to live in fear and will destroy their childrens future just so they can feel better about themselves. Useful idiots they are to the one world government.

[Always Right]

The only Global Warming Theory which is really indisputable:

Increases in the IPCC fear-mongering rhetoric causes a great increase in their budget to produce more fear-mongering results.

Girls will have to wear bikinis all the time now. This isn't all bad . . .

[Camel Joe]

If only it were true, I heat with fuel oil. I am not looking forward to this winter.

"The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel said in a landmark report released Saturday, warning of inevitable human suffering and the threat of extinction for some species."

Ignore your thermometers people. A nobel prize winning panel of idiots at the UN says they are all wrong, and the ever- expanding population of polar bears, double their numbers since 1965, are going extinct.

[BallyBill]

..policy makers meeting in Bali, Indonesia, next month..

Maybe these jacka$$'s should meet in Michigan or Alaska and they would stop complaining about the warmth.

[Jabba the Nutt]

"The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel..."

They didn't win a SCIENCE award. They won an award for being associated with the Goracle and for being politically correct. B*D!

[Nathan Zachary]

"The report is important because it is adopted by consensus, meaning countries accept the underlying science and cannot disavow its conclusions."

Which means -"You signed! You can't back out now, no matter what FACTS come to light to prove otherwize, or even if we are found to be nothing but a bunch of communist crooks!"

[Nathan Zachary]

As if a nobel peace prize means anything these days anyways.
Anyone can get one, even a mass murdering terrorist and a goofy looking peanut farmer.

[CARTOUCHE]

Yet another egress for diarrhea and another front in the war on terror. It’s us against them (the propagandists in the pseudo-scientific world). Resist at every opportunity! I wont let them take my brain’s freedom to think and respond appropriately.

[JeanLM]

I think your analysis in principle is correct but I believe you have the CO2 concentration wrong. The “official” number measured in Hawaii is 377 PPM, which equates to .04% by my calculations. It’s more than it was 100 years ago but not more than it has been in the last 400,000 years at times. Nor is the mean temperature warmer than in recent times when humans thrived.

Your geothermal energy solution and the rapid installation of up-to-date nuclear reactors, as has been done in France and Japan, would make the US a net energy exporter.

The same people who oppose any energy source that isn’t their kind of green, are the ones who scream the loudest for CO2 reductions, but they don’t really want that. They want control.
