Video - What We Know about Climate Change

"In the many responses I get to these videos, it appears that a number of people want to deny, or are not even aware, that there is a scientific foundation to the overwhelming consensus on climate change.

In fact, the science is built on thousands of publications and many decades of observation.

In this video we'll go over some of the fundamental discoveries, the
basic facts that we know beyond a doubt, about global warming.
Of course, many people will never believe science, because they believe that
anything that challenges their world view, is all part of a secret,
global conspiracy."

Hottest decade on record!

As reported over at Climate Progress;

While the right wing loonies are being paid to focus on irrelevant emails taken out of context in a desperate bid to cast doubt on legitimate science, I wonder if they believe in the Easter Bunny as well, the recent real science just reinforces all the hard science that came before it.

"Now, however, it is official from the World Meteorological Organization, in their news release today “2000-2009, The Warmest Decade“:

The decade of the 2000s (2000–2009) was warmer than the decade spanning the 1990s (1990–1999), which in turn was warmer than the 1980s (1980–1989).

The NYT story was based on the WMO release early today, but NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center also reports today:

The 2000 – 2009 decade will be the warmest on record, with its average global surface temperature about 0.96 degree F above the 20th century average. This will easily surpass the 1990s value of 0.65 degree F."

Video - Climate Denial Crock of the Week -Smacking the Hack Attack

Thanks to Climate Progress for this:

"Climate deniers have been making a lot of noise about a set of stolen emails from one of the world's leading climate centers, The Universtiy of East Anglia.
The spin they're putting out is that the emails reveal what they always suspected, an evil global conspiracy."

The 7 Things Scientists Want You to Know About Climate Change.

99% of Climate scientists and 84% of all scientists agree, if that isn't consensus to you I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

Check out detail on the 7 points over at Care 2 Causes.

1. Greenhouse gas emissions are surging:

2. Recent global temperatures demonstrate human-based warming:

3. Melting of ice-sheets, glaciers and ice-caps is accelerating:

4. Rapid Arctic sea-ice decline:

5. Sea-levels are rising more than predicted:

6. By delaying action, we risk irreversible damage:

7. Peak carbon needs to happen soon:

Video - Ted - Rachel Pike: The science behind a climate headline

....36% (of Americans) say warming is occurring “mostly because of natural changes in the atmosphere.” ...(11%) say “there is no solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer.”

...84% of scientists say the earth is warming because of human activity. Scientists .... regard(ing) global warming as a very serious problem: 70% ... compared with 47% of the public. ."- Pew Research center for the people and the press

Why is that?

"In 4 minutes, atmospheric chemist Rachel Pike provides a glimpse of the massive scientific effort behind the bold headlines on climate change, with her team -- one of thousands who contributed -- taking a risky flight over the rainforest in pursuit of data on a key molecule."
