U.S. Warned to Prepare Now for Disasters Caused by Globlal Warming
By Richard Cowan
As Congress considers curbs on carbon dioxide pollution, a U.S. report
has urged the White House to prepare now for flooding and other
natural disasters brought by global warming.
Federal agencies, working with Congress, state and local governments,
should "develop a national strategic plan that will guide the nation's
efforts to adapt to a changing climate,'' said a report by the
Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress.
John Stephenson, director of GAO's natural resources and environment
office, told a congressional panel that higher concentrations of
greenhouse gases may have significant effects, including threats to
coastal areas from rising seas.
The GAO found there was no coordinated national approach for dealing
with such problems.
While government has been slow to get ready, Stephenson said, "Natural
disasters such as floods, heat waves, droughts or hurricanes raised
public awareness of the costs of potential climate change impacts.''
A survey of government officials, GAO said, found there was limited
money for climate change planning, as agencies put higher priority on
other concerns.
The GAO report came amid signs that more of the U.S. public is
dismissing scientists' warnings of calamity.
According to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday, 35 percent
of Americans say global warming is a very serious problem, down from
44 percent in April 2008.
Over the past year, the United States has been preoccupied with the
severe economic downturn, which has put other concerns on a back
burner.
However, the Pew poll found that half of those surveyed favor setting
limits on carbon emissions, even if they lead to higher prices.
REMEMBERING KATRINA
Representative Edward Markey, chairman of a House global warming
panel, recalled the government failures in responding to Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans four years ago.
"Katrina foreshadows the consequences of climate change if we do not
make the necessary preparations,'' he said.
Markey, a Democrat, was a leading force behind House legislation
passed in June that would cut U.S. smokestack emissions of carbon
dioxide and other gases by 17 percent by 2020, from 2005 levels.

What a bunch of bull, Katrina just happened to
take the exact path needed to overfill a lake from
the Gulf storm surge, low barometric pressure sea
level rise, and wind driven Gulf waters.
Other storms came close, but just missed
the path that pushed so much water into the lake.
Alarmists that infer that temperatures were
responsible are either clueless, brainwashed, or
charlatans. |

•• Markey, another Mass. fascist like the Kennedy
brothers, only knows how to line his pockets,
and stuff the ballot boxes. He has no clue about
our basic need for more CO2, and could care
less.
•• However he is right, we DO need "make the
necessary preparations" but not what he
supposes. We need to prepare for a lot of
extreme weather events ...
•In 1979, Dr Genevieve Woillard, a paleologist in
France, concluded from detailed studies that the
shift from a warm, interglacial climate to ice age
conditions at the beginning of the last ice age,
some 100,000 years ago, took "less than 20 years."
Her observations led her to conclude we may be
in a similar period of rapid climatic change.
Research has shown that this 20-year period is one in
which Mother Nature wreaks havoc on humanity.
If the unchallenged results of the work of Woillard and
others who studied past ice ages are any indication of
the pace of glaciation, once it starts, the transition
period is a mere 20 years or so. And we may be well
into that 20-year period now. Woillard estimated that
the period before that final 20 years — when the earth
began gearing up for an end to the interglacial period
— could be as long as 150 years and as short as 75
years."
According to Woillard's studies and those of other
paleological climate researchers, the transition
between interglacial and glacial periods is one of
increasing violence — more volcanic eruptions,
storms, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.
•• That is what we can expect from now on. Those
of you that had been deluded by the AlGore
and the anthropogenic global warming alarmist
bunch, are unaware that the process had begun
about 30 years ago and was forecast by the late
Dr Genevieve Woillard-Roucoux in a paper in
1979. There have been much sub-marine
volcanic, and tectonic (earthquake) activity in
the period including "the earthquake that
generated the great Indian Ocean tsunami of
2004 is estimated to have released the energy
of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs."
[cite: National Geographic] There is
continuing volcanic activity in in Sumatra and
the Phillipines where the nation is battling
their third typhoon in as many weeks. Yes,
Katrina and even Andrew is part of this
process.
Records show that there have been a series
of ice ages over the past 5 million years,
naturally occurring every 100,000 years, with
about 90,000 years of glaciation followed by
about 12,000 years of interglacial climate. The
last ice age ended 12,000 years ago ...
This process feeds on itself. As the amount of
atmospheric moisture increases, more precipitation is
sent poleward, resulting in more snowfall to build
heavier and heavier polar ice packs which fail to
decrease in summertime because the cloud cover
created by the moisture-laden air transported from the
tropics prevents any thawing.
As the ice packs grow deeper and heavier, more
magma is squeezed out and sent toward the equators,
creating more volcanic activity, which spews more
and more volcanic ash into the upper atmosphere,
along with enormous quantities of greenhouse gasses.
This results in greater and greater amounts of
moisture-laden clouds being sent poleward. And so on.
As the glaciation process continues, winters will get
longer and longer; that's colder air reaches farther and
farther toward the equator. Summers will get shorter
and shorter, and growing seasons will slowly vanish.
Areas previously blessed with temperate climates are
transformed into subarctic regions, and the subtropics
turn colder and colder.
And all this can happen in a matter of a very few years.
So few, that the world may very well learn that the
interglacial period has been replaced by the glaciation
process before the end of the next decade — or even
earlier.
–– ––
In real science the burden of proof is always on
the proposer, never on the sceptics. So far
neither IPCC nor anyone else has provided one
iota of valid data for global warming nor have
they provided data that climate change is being
effected by commerce and industry, and not by
natural phenomena. |

The good news is that ice ages have come on
gradually, an abrupt short step, and then slow,
smaller steps.
The beginning, if no other causes than the
atmospherics are involved, should be easy to see,
increasing and deeper snow cover, more clouds,
a higher albedo, but not a big drop in temperature
all at once.
The Little Ice Age looks like an attempt, and
may be part of the downward cycle, which is seen
as steps in the historical records.
Lets try to delay or lessen the next downward
step. |

So few, that the world may very well learn that the
interglacial period has been replaced by the glaciation
process before the end of the next decade — or even
earlier.
The good news is that ice ages have come on
gradually, an abrupt short step, and then slow,
smaller steps.
The beginning, if no other causes than the
atmospherics are involved, should be easy to see,
increasing and deeper snow cover, more clouds,
a higher albedo, but not a big drop in temperature
all at once.
The Little Ice Age looks like an attempt, and
may be part of the downward cycle, which is seen
as steps in the historical records.
Lets try to delay or lessen the next downward
step.

•• How would you attempt to do that?
Pump in CO2 - that might accellerate the cooling
Burn down the forests so the smoke will ... ?
That too will accelerate cooling.
•• Give it up!
Nature will do what it wills no matter what
you say/do. |

That's why you need to get that "CO2 Is Good for You" video out ASAP.

Too much of CO2 is bad for the health.
You get sore throat from belching it out.
Cheers! |
