B-Man Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Strikeout: Court-requested tutorial did not go as planned for Team Climate Change Climate change activists are used to having their assertions accepted by an unquestioning media. So, it is likely they thought they were safe from detailed inquiry in a Northern California court. However, when Team Climate Change was up at bat, and it appears they might have stuck out.

Tiberius Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 REUTERS/MARCOS BRINDICCI Royal Dutch Shell documents reveal the oil and gas company recognized in 1988 that it was contributing to climate change—and how difficult it would be to reverse course, according to The Washington Post. In a report called “The Greenhouse Effect,” which was unearthed this week by a Dutch journalist, the company’s Greenhouse Effect Working Group calculated that Shell was “contributing 4 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions through its oil, natural gas and coal products.” The report also noted that “by the time global warming becomes detectable it could be too late to take effective countermeasures to reduce the effects or even to stabilize the situation.” The report, written by members of the working group, predicted the effects would become noticeable in the “the 20th or early 21st century.” The group’s projections were far-reaching, with warnings about the social and political consequences of climate change, as well as the dangers posed by rising sea levels. In the 1990s, Shell had publicly “raised doubts about the science of climate change” and opposed the Kyoto Protocol, The Washington Post reported. “We strongly support the Paris Agreement and the need for society to transition to a lower carbon future, while also extending the economic and social benefits of energy to everyone,” the company told the newspaper.

{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 There is no proof of Climate Change. It's politics, not science. But that's not even the worst of it. What saddens me is that all that money should go towards real, proven environmental issues, of which they are so many that I could not describe them if I just kept typing ad infinitum. That's the irony, and it breaks my mother f'ing heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too obvious, would be bad PR: better to just look the other way while the gangs kill each other. It's CLIMATE CHANGE, the perfect excuse for spending over a trillion dollars a year on... certainly not science: no one who has honestly looked at the evidence can honestly say otherwise. But it's great for buying off scientists. It's great for getting, for example, all the righter-winger peeps on this board riled the F up! But True Science is Apolitical. Duh, right?

ALF Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Gulf Stream system at its weakest in 1,600 years, study shows It's a trend which could exacerbate the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels on the US East Coast and disrupted weather patterns across North America, Europe and north Africa, including the increase in frequency of extreme weather events, like flooding, drought and winter storms. The system, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), brings warm, salty water north from the Gulf of Mexico to the North Atlantic -- the Gulf Stream -- where it releases its heat atmospherically before sinking to the depths of the ocean, and traveling south to the Antarctic, where it starts its journey again. The study's findings "suggest that the AMOC has weakened over the past 150 years by approximately 15 to 20 percent" says Thornalley. The AMOC is a crucial part of the global system of heat transfer throughout the earth's oceans -- the so-called Global Ocean Conveyor Belt. Warming at the end of the Little Ice Age, which occurred around 150 years ago, and recent climate change, have been attributed to the disruption of the AMOC system. The Little Ice Age was "a centuries-long cold period that lasted until about 1850," according to Delia Oppo, a co-author of the study. The study found that periods of global warming, resulting in meltwater from Arctic sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets, disrupt the system with an influx of fresh water. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/12/world/gulf-stream-global-ocean-conveyor-belt-study-intl/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
