New report compiled by 300+ scientists from 48 countries: global warming is undeniable.

from AP..

WASHINGTON — Not only was the past decade the warmest on record, but climate indicators being tracked globally are worsening, scientists reported Wednesday in their annual "State of the Climate."

"A comprehensive review of key climate indicators confirms the world is warming and the past decade was the warmest" since recordkeeping began in 1870, declares the report, which was released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries, the report said its analysis of 10 indicators that are "clearly and directly related to surface temperatures, all tell the same story: Global warming is undeniable."

Concern about rising temperatures has been growing in recent years as atmospheric scientists report rising temperatures associated with greenhouse gases released into the air by industrial and other human processes. At the same time, some skeptics have questioned the conclusions.

The new report, the 20th in a series, focuses only on global warming and does not specify a cause. "The evidence in this report would say unequivocally yes, there is no doubt," that the Earth is warming, said Tom Karl, the transitional director of the planned NOAA Climate Service.

and yet our congress cannot find the votes to pass any bill, even a weak bill, to do anything about this.

1. Rush told me this information was twisted and misguided

Rush wouldn't lie to me.

2. it is pathetic

the program seems to be: bring it on. We are going over the cliff and our government refuses to do anything.

6. I think its going take a huge massive catastrophe to get these idiots move on this issue..

but by then it will probably be too late.

[Ross K]

22. I think it's gonna take spontaneous human combustion!

Goddamn fools!

[gratuitous]

3. And what do we get in the popular media?

Never-ending coverage of the cranks and incompetents who have made a cottage industry for themselves by denying the unequivocal evidence, and cooing sweet nothings to the gullible so that they aren't disturbed out of their wasteful and destructive habits.

I sure hope Sen. Inhofe is working on plans for another knee-slapping igloo.

5. "cranks and incompetents who have made a cottage industry for themselves"

Its worth considering, being that the employment situation is so bleak. I have web skills and could definitely make a Cold Earth Society web site. Im a whore. Ill do anything for freedom, aside from playing music at Limbaugh's wedding (well, actually, on that...)

[DCBob]

7. Inhofe is an ass. I hope he is the very first to suffer from the effects of global warming..

even then he will probaby still be denying it. Fool.

4. Just heard on the local news that our Democratic Senator

Mark Begich says he will back the Republican Energy policy. He said that he doesn't like the one Senator Reid presented..

[wildflower]

14. I heard that too

Sigh...

...we don't want our ignorance questioned.

[TrogL]

13. My boss says it's sunspots

[DCBob]

15. In fact its the opposite.. sun irradiance has been in decline in recent decades..

[tanyev]

16. They obviously didn't consult with the esteemed faculty of the science department at Liberty U.

[zappaman]

17. don't believe it

today was cool and breezy, so global warming is bullshit

[Bluebear]

18. Sorry, it snowed here last winter so these furrin scientists are lyin'.

:silly:

[Enthusiast]

19. It's a hoax.

Limbaugh and Beck said. What do a bunch of scientists know?

[DCBob]

20. and sadly their listeners believe it wholeheartedly..

its sickening the negative effect assholes like Limbaugh and Beck are doing to this country.

[Enthusiast]

21. +1, Bob! nt
