Hundreds of leading scientists warned Thursday [3/12] that global warming is accelerating beyond the worst predictions and threatening to trigger “irreversible” climate shifts on the planet. Saying there’s no excuse for inaction, the nearly 2,000 climate researchers meeting in Copenhagen urged policy-makers to “vigorously” implement the economic and technological tools available to cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases.
Their stark message came at the end of a three-day conference aimed at updating the findings of a 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change before U.N. talks in December on a new global climate treaty. “The worst-case IPCC scenario trajectories (or even worse) are being realized,” the scientists said in a statement. “There is a significant risk that many of the trends will accelerate, leading to an increasing risk of abrupt or irreversible climatic shifts.”
The climate change panel predicted a sea level rise of 7 to 23 inches by the end of the century, which could flood low-lying areas and force millions to flee. ...more recent research presented at the conference suggested that melting glaciers and ice sheets could help push the sea level up at least 20 inches ...
... It noted that policy-makers already have a range of tools to mitigate global warming. “But they must be vigorously and widely implemented to achieve the societal transformation required to de-carbonize economies,” it said. The conclusions of the congress will be presented to politicians when they meet in Copenhagen in December to discuss a new global agreement on greenhouse gas emissions to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
“We know from scientific evidence that climate change is a reality and that climate change will have damaging effects on the economy all over the world,” said Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen ...

NOTHING BUT TOTAL FABRICATION. See here how both the CO2 acceleration and temperature changes are far below the LOWEST of the scenarios from the IPCC. Sea levels have slowed or stopped in their rising that has been ongoing since the last ice age. The antarctic ice reached a new record in 2008 and is above normal this year. The summer 2008 arctic ice was 9% greater than in 2007 and was among the high end of the winter years this decade this winter. This is clearly scientific fraud. The “2500 of the worlds leading scientiists early presented has become hundreds of leading scientists trying to outdo each other for the biggest newsbreaking lie. Even the new 2000 number is a fabrication, probably including wives, drooling reporters and maybe wait staff at the hotel.” The AP and the science have fallen so low it is unimaginable.SPPI’s Monthly CO2 Report shows that throughout the eight years of George Bush’s presidency there has been a downtrend in global temperature at a rate equivalent to 2 F (1.1 C) per century. ...
Since Al Gore’s climate movie An Inconvenient Truth was launched in January 2005, global cooling has occurred at the equivalent of 11 F (6 C) per century. If this very rapid cooling were to continue, the Earth would be in an Ice Age by 2100.

For your PING! lists.
They get more shrill with every warning.
Ah, so all that cold is simply part of the stealth of global warming ... how insidious.
we’re dooooooooooooooooomed
“global warming is accelerating beyond the worst predictions and threatening to trigger “irreversible” climate shifts on the planet”
TRANSLATION:
The Global Economic Crisis Is threatening our FUNDING!!! ACT NOW!!!!
Have they jumped the shark yet?
Chicken Little ... Chicken Little ... Chicken Little ...
Old news. How long have these scoundrels and thieves been saying this?
Tell them to sell their property at a loss, and move inland and up hill.
They get more shrill with every warning.
::::::::::::
The manufactured fraudulent crisis is the mainstream tool of the radical left that is trying to take over this country. And where is the Repub party fighting it all ??? Did all the Repubs leave Washington for good?? Looks and sounds that way.
I reckon these wackos are now willing to allow building more nuke plants? I doubt it.
Shouldn’t we be under water already?
I guess past hysterical predictions that never came true have no bearing on current and future hysterical predictions.
According to these same people and their silly models, global warming is irreversable anyway.
Pure unadulterated HORSES**T. These lying commies need to be strung up and fed to the polar bears.
Amazing how all the global warming isn't actually warming the globe...
That’s because the adults are not listening.
More people are discovering this is nothing more than a con game. They have to keep yelling louder to drown out the doubters.
When faking data, it's always best to avoid even numbers. This is a prime example. If they said the sea level would rise between a half-foot to 2 feet, it sounds ever so less "scientific". Perhaps they should have said the sea level will rise 7.2 to 23.7 inches. Even better, put it in metric to make it look even more "scientific" not to mention giving an international flair to the data!
