WASHINGTON (AP) - Day after day, reports of the dangers of climate and climate change circulate in the news, often filled with confusing data and debate.
In an effort to improve understanding of climate science, a group of government agencies has combined efforts to produce "Climate Literacy: The Essential Principles of Climate Science."

This is why we pay taxes.
Very cool screen name ID.
A meltwater stream on the Greenland Ice Sheet flows into the ice through a tunnel called a moulin. About half of the loss of Greenlands ice mass flows into the North Atlantic Ocean as melt water. Liquid water, which is denser than ice, can penetrate through the ice sheet, lubricating the underside, and also accelerate ice loss. Warmer temperatures cause melting in the summer months, which leads to faster flow, drawing more of the ice sheet down to warmer, lower altitudes.
It will take centuries for Greenland to melt under any realistic scenario. This brochure does not provide facts about the climate or consequences, just a lot of vague threats dressed up as science.
try teaching that crap to my daughter ... .
Hey, someone has to do well in science. This trash will only place the U.S. LOWER in rank among the industrialized world. The U.S. is at 24th or 25th place.
Just the other day I had to tell her ... we are fighting for the soul of America ... I don't know the outcome yet ... but if it should not be positive ... be flexible. At some point it may make more sense to live in another country ... . I am so upset over what is going on ... I NEVER would have believed that I'd EVER say that about the U.S.. It's painful to say that.
Misleading. The solar insolation has increased at least as much over the past century as the warming from CO2 (with realistic LBL and no feedback). 30 years of solar radiation is not meaningful. Also ignores the role of solar magnetic variations, which increased last century and are probably also responsible for some warming.
Temperate... Moderate... tropical... arctic...
Laughable. The climate models are almost all worst case and include positive feedbacks (while leaving out negative feedbacks).

A big fat lie.
