Climate change deals in trends over time. We do not need to know what the weather may be in a specific area at a particular time. We need to things such as what the overall temperature was during a span of decades.. Was there a rise in temperature, participation, were plants under stress, was growth of trees faster of slower. These are revealed via collected data... The more data the more accurate projections can be... the Climate projections are about trends over a period of time. IE that in several decades the moisture pattern in the upper plains will likely be more or less than it was 50 yrs ago.. Computer programs can pose and simulate questions and likely results... The great lakes were 90% frozen over this year, will that effect rain patterns this spring...

Weather is more of a problem because we want results for today... Is Oklahoma going to have a tornado because of the cold from Canada meeting the hot most air from the golf today, tomorrow, when? Is the jet stream shifting now? Will it do so next week? Will Minnesota ever melt its snow pack in time to grow peas? No room for mistakes, that darn weather guy better have it right...

If we want any chance of maintaining that high standard of living and long life we had better care for our environment and clean the damn thing... Peabody coal inc, killed more minors and injured more health then the EPA ever will...

By the very term "climate change" one can understands that climate will change. Change is not the argument, predicting the change is. Reading past signs is clear evidence that climate changed in the past. Assuming those signs are predictive of what changes will take place in the future is a mistake often make by stock investors, that is why pragmatic prognosticators warn that past performance is not a guarentee of future performance. There are many variable that will effect tomorrow's weather and a whole lot more that will effect the next 50 years's climate - and nobody "knows" how many of those variable are even known, let alone the weight to put on each of them in making predictions.

Your comment on Peabody Coal vs. EPA is an opinion - I do remember some of the same folks who knew so much before who stopped nuclear power development, thereby having some of the responsibility for the Peabody victims -
How many victims of GM are dead because of the auto? That game can go on forever - but again I suggest taking the known and comparing against the maybe - and applying a tad of humility in the process.

Oh so simple, reduce the CO2 out put. That was the start of this thread several pages ago...


That is and has been ongoing -so all we have to do is the same things we've been doing while avoiding the enormous waste of taxpayer resources in the process.

China's Beijing city to abolish coal-fired power plants by end 2014

Singapore (Platts)--7Oct2013/233 am EDT/633 GMT

The Chinese capital of Beijing is looking to phase out all its coal-fired power generation capacity by the end of next year, the official Xinhua news agency reported Saturday.

According to municipal authorities, the city is planning to build four power generation bases that will include 40 utility-related projects to replace existing coal-fired plants with gas-fired generation, Xinhua said.

Total investment is pegged at Yuan 47.7 billion ($7.8 billion).

You are a trusting sole - almost cute - you think China is going to do all that that quickly and do so with only 7.8 billion bucks.

I think we should work much harder on the clean environment, what we are doing is good but we need less foot dragging and more hop to it...

What taxpayer resources should we change? I think we could much better afford other areas of cutback. Such as wasted effort and money in the education dept, war on drugs, homeland security, and militarizing the police among others...

You have no chance to see the future unless you know what happened in the past.. Finding trends is the need to know for climatologists..

FYI...I wanted clean coal to happen, it would have been a fine answer to so many energy problems...

The first anti-nuck power I ever knew was a Hungarian refugee that I worked with on construction one summer. one of the smartest guys I ever met and he tossed gas cocktails at Russian tanks.. Very interesting guy...

As I said, it is about money and fucking the taxpayers. The EPA is an out of control fed agency with an agenda, their destruction of the coal industry was not about guilt it was about furthering their agenda.

What I said was IF the science is so settled why not go after the guilty culprits like China, Russia, etc? China may just be paying lip service to the climate change idiots just to placate them and then do what it pleases.

It's more about money than a spotlessly clean earth.

you can argue this forever but you can,t control the weather. can barely predict it.when everybody in the world goes back to riding a horse,put electric and hydrogen cars in use exclusively, then you might make a dent in this problem.where are the solutions.bye the way, this is the worst winter globally in years.

Come on Kevyn, I cannot believe that you even think this crap is real. Our earth has had declining temperatures for 20 years now. Global Warming is a fraud and what is happening is the temperature changes that happens naturally here on earth. The temperatures have always change on earth from the beginning of time and it is not different today.

Green land was Green at the time the Vikings first arrived. the established farms and thrived. after about 400 years there was a cooling and the Vikings died out. the last remaining Vikings were taken by a Dutch slave ship. Warming and cooling happens. This is about man caused warming now.


Funny how the people who care the most about Global Warming are people who will either benefit from the green subsidies fighting it will bring or those who are immune to the absolute wreakage the fight will inflict on America. Anyone remember the 4 million green jobs Obama created? Neither do I. Tell me, do those on unemployment care about Global Warming, well do they?

Now my Global Warming friends, can I call you that, what will you do about Brazil, Russia, China, and India? Any reduction in CO2 emissions from the US will be cancelled out by increases from these nations. How loud will Comrade Vlad of Russia laugh in your face when you slap a carbon tax on his Russian backside?

Lastly you guys all remember Western Europe? The Global Warmiest believing place east of California. Well it turns out that Europe is rolling back it's greenhouse gas limits. Impossible you say? But Santa Claus, why? Well kiddies, they are losing industry and jobs because of the war on Global Warming.

It turns out that unemployed people in Europe do not give a crap about the planet and Global Warming anymore than elsewhere.
