Repower America Reports the Facts February 23, 2010 : 2:46 PMWith all the climate deniers spreading lies about the climate crisis in the media, it's vital we arm ourselves with the facts. Thankfully, Repower America put together a great fact sheet explaining the relationship between the climate crisis and extreme weather:
"Fact: Climate change causes more frequent and severe snowstorms Record snowstorms need two things: temperatures below freezing, and very high humidity. On a planet warmer by a few degrees on average, the Northeast US will still have plenty of days below freezing; the big difference will be warmer seas producing higher levels of moisture in the air — and therefore more severe cold-season storms."
"Fact: We can expect more extreme weather Scientists tell us that climate change has already led to more extreme weather in the United States and we can expect stronger hurricanes, more wildfires, heatwaves and droughts, to name a few."
"Fact: The world is warming at a quickening pace Weather in one region over days or months should not be confused with climate or the patterns of weather over decades and centuries. And the science is clear here: the last decade was the hottest on record. And to put this year’s weather in perspective, January was warmer than average for the continental United States"
If a presidential candidate would assume “Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US” as a campaign mantra, I think he would win a lot of votes.
I wonder why AlGore thinks Phil Jones is wrong when he says there hasn’t been any warming since 1995?
Wow, that's pathetic. I nearly stopped reading at that point.
What, one wonders, is a "climate denier"?
