Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Keep the Shiny side up
Quote:A leaked draft of the report sent to governments in December suggests that in order to keep global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) by the end of the century — the stated goal of international climate talks — emissions need to fall by 40-70 percent by 2050.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Nuclear is no where as safe, for starters. Sure, it can be used in spots, but between the cost of building plants, and then long term waste disposal, I doubt many would jump at the idea of 100's or 1000's of more nuke plants around the world. Helping curb climate change ? Get China to stop polluting the air with their industrial smog, which is affecting weather around the globe more than any 'AGW'. Poor countries don't WANT to get away from fossil fuels. The alternatives are way too expensive, yield far too little, and or simply aren't feasible.

Why would you want to bother curbing something which is not really happening? BTW, man-made smog affecting the weather around the globe is kinda the definition of AGW.... omg I kept a straight face....

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Quote:Smog from China has become so bad that the particles travel into the atmo, which causes more rain and storms w/ greater intensity than would occur otherwise. Actually not true. Too many particles in the air cause condensation to occur on too many nuclei. The drops never get big enough to fall, because the water is divided up among too many pieces. So particulate smog causes LESS rain. If you want, I can provide cites and maybe even pictures.

While China struggles to take control of its air quality, more research is needed in order to determine exactly how the pollution is changing the weather in North America. If the pollution is also changing the track of storms, there could be a risk that it is exacerbating the drought in California. (Because nothing spells more rain and thunderstorms like drought!) This research may be a bitter pill to swallow for those people in the USA who have been hit by severe weather in the last few years. However, it may be worth remembering that the second largest polluting country is still the United States. The world’s weather is intricately linked. What happens in one part of the world, can greatly impact someone in a completely different location, but there is no longer any doubt that human activity is changing the global weather.

So, if California is extremely dry, and all that missing rain PLUS the extra rain you say exists went somewhere else along the coast, where did it go?
