Global Warming likely to Increase Severe T-storms

In an article I found online, a research team at Purdue University studied and determined that “the number of days favorable for severe thunderstorms could more than double in some parts of the United States by the end of the century because of global warming”.  Areas of high humidity, such as the Gulf of Mexico [...]

Human impact

I am currently enrolled in Geology 101 at the University of South Carolina and the textbook we are using, EARTH an Introduction to Physical Geology, teaches that humans are to blame for increasing temperatures.  The book discusses that the climate indeed changes from time to time and warming periods are normal, but our present warming [...]

Ice Caps

Global warming is becoming more and more of an issue and the consequences are scary.  It may not affect our lifetime but it may affect our childrens or grandchildrens life.  It’s a scary  thought to think about the world possibly becoming all water and the land being covered by water like some scientists say will happen.  [...]

Ice Cap Melting

On the New York Times website a scientist came up with a visual model of how much the ice caps have melted since 2003. It’s incredible to see how much they have melted but I am also not sure if it can be entirely correct.  I think it’s a difficult thing to measure the amount [...]

IPCC says we need to act

Climate change is “severe and so sweeping that only urgent, global action” can head it off, a United Nations scientific panel said in a report on global warming issued Saturday.
The IPCC has said that we need to take immediate action on global warming.  Whatever the steps may be, they insist some action needs to be [...]

What information is Real?

Scientists and bloggers are fighting over what statistics are real and which are fake.  It’s hard to say who’s experiments are correct and whose are not.  At http://www.nationalcenter.org/2007/11/fake-global-warming-study-fools-four.html  it discusses an article that was published and then attacked by skeptics.  People aren’t sure what to believe anymore. I know I don’t.  It’s hard to assume [...]

I found this comic at http://healthandenergy.com/global_warming_cartoons.htm.
To me this just makes me think that we’ve always known that global warming was an issue but we’re just trying to come up with excuses not to do anything about it.  Instead of fighting about who is the cause of global warming, maybe trying to fix it or slow [...]

October Data

I’m still amazed that some people can deny the fact that global warming is happening.  We have so much information and proof that shows us that temperatures are increasing.  This graph shows us that temperatures are increasing.  This graph came from AccuWeathers web site.  This past October was the 9th hottest October on record and that the [...]

Is Global Warming Caused by Humans?

I have not yet decided for myself whether or not I think Global Warming is caused by humans.  I have read and reviewed so much data in the last month or so and I still feel as if I don’t know enough.  I would love to believe all the statistcs I read, but I can’t.  There [...]

North American Carbon Imbalance

“A new report from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program has determined that there is now a greater than three-to-one imbalance between the fossil fuel sources and the ability of vegetation to absorb carbon over North America, and that fossil fuel emissions for North America are greater than 25% of global emissions.”  According to this [...]
