Accessed September 25, 2020. https://climatechange.procon.org/, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Science, Should People Become Vegetarian? The IPCC simply updated their temperature history graphs to show the best data available at the time. A lighthearted look at the effect of climate change on the world’s oceans and the heat capacity of water.

Multiple lines of evidence make it very clear that the rise in atmospheric CO2 is due to human emissions. Test your knowledge of sea level rise with this interactive quiz. And increasingly extreme statements by activists undermine environmental progress, say climate scientists. According to a study in Geophysical Research Letters, natural shifts in the ocean currents are the major cause of these climate changes, not human-generated greenhouse gases. [89] Between 1995-2015, increased hurricane activity (including Katrina) was recorded; however, according to the NOAA, this was the result of cyclical tropical cyclone patterns driven primarily by natural ocean currents. But she’s wrong.”. His TED talks have been viewed over five million times. [38] The Convention on Biological Diversity said “it is now nearly inevitable” that within 50-100 years continued human-produced CO2 emissions will increase ocean acidity to levels that harm marine organisms and ecosystems. Copyright © Townhall.com/Salem Media. [30] Some studies predicted the Arctic could become nearly ice free sometime between 2020-2060.

Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.8. Ljungqvist's temperature reconstruction is very similar to other reconstructions by Moberg and Mann. By breathing out, we are simply returning to the air the same CO2 that was there to begin with. An interactive exploration of how global warming is affecting sea ice, glaciers and continental ice sheets worldwide.

Monckton used the IPCC equation in an inappropriate manner. “We shouldn’t be forced to choose between lifting people out of poverty and doing something for the climate.”. In 1931, 3.7 million people died from natural disasters. [36], The World Meteorological Organization said the current acceleration in the rate of ocean acidification “appears unprecedented” over the last 300 million years. According to a report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the recorded changes in precipitation over land and oceans “are unlikely to arise purely due to natural climate variability.” [48], According to researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, up to 60% of the changes in river flow, winter air temperature, and snow pack in the western United States (1950-1999) were human-induced. Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

O ver the past couple of weeks things have been happening on the climate change front but, unfortunately, ... Or in other words, students should hear that conspiracy theories are real.

The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.15,16. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response. Absolutely! But the Netherlands adapted to living below sea level 400 years ago. Sigmund Freud and his daughter Anna were the great chroniclers of denial. CO2 emissions were much smaller 100 years ago. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade.7, Image: Flowing meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet. But it’s by burning a lot of coal that they make themselves wealthier, and by making themselves wealthier they have fewer children, and you don’t have as many people burning carbon, you might be better off in 2070.”.

The oceans are warming and moreover are becoming more acidic, threatening the food chain. This fleeting comprehension is what distinguishes denial from ignorance, misunderstanding or sheer disbelief.

So far, we’ve helped prevent emissions increasing the equivalent of adding 24 million cars to the road.

See the positive change our work is making around the world. Jim Hansen had several possible scenarios; his mid-level scenario B was right. Rates of future yield growth depend far more on whether poor nations get access to tractors, irrigation, and fertilizer than on climate change, says FAO. The temporary drop in sea level in 2010 was due to intense land flooding caused by a strong La Nina. All Rights Reserved. [50][51], By the end of the 21st century, warming temperatures in the Arctic will cause a 30%-70% decline in permafrost.
