Great timing, Mr. Denier

This morning Hurricane Sandy toppled a record for low
barometric pressure that has stood since 1938.

This, after two successive springs of incredibly destructive
weather in the southeastern USA and a summer of record
wildfires in the American west.

I've been observing weather on this planet for a long time,
now. It *is* more violent than in the past.

"Climate change" chicken little stories now? Really?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 29 2012 @ 04:23 PM EDT
Unfortunately, there's more to climate than just the temperature.

For example: Human activity over the last few hundred years has now raised worldwide CO2 levels to levels not seen in millions of years.

The trend is upwards and extremely linear over the past 50 years.

Whether the earth will get too warm or not, is not really the point. The point is whether we will do too much catastrophic damage to our biosphere before we develop better technology allowing us to house and feed billions of humans more sustainably and with less environmental impact than we do today. Eventually we're going to have to stop messing up our planet so badly, and repair some of the damage we've already caused.

But even getting people to agree that we are actually causing it seems to be difficult, because we humans are generally selfish, short-sighted little creatures.
