Climate change brought on by global warming is real, and a panel of physicists says to ignore it is to increase the chances of a global catastrophe.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we do know something bad is going to happen,” Mark Boslough, a physicist with Sandia National Laboratories, told ... the New Mexico chapter of the Fulbright Association.
In little more than a hundred years, the Industrial Revolution has brought astounding advancements in technology and life comforts, but at what price? Boslough asked. The potential consequences could range from inconvenient weather to global catastrophe, he said.
Meanwhile, fellow physicist Professor David Gutzler of the University of New Mexico said there is an abundance of scientific evidence from trusted international sources that growing carbon dioxide levels causing climate change can be attributed to humans.
It’s possible, according to some models, that temperatures could rise an average of more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and almost 8 degrees F in summer by the end of the century. That’s compared with a total global change in average temperature of only 1 degree in the 20th century.
... Around the world, climate change could cause hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires and other natural disasters.
Saying he was speaking from a business perspective, Jeff Sterba, former CEO of PNM Resources, outlined some obstacles to addressing global warming, including “naysayers” who deny the existence of a problem.

It was so cold today I saw a group of democrats walking around with their hands in their own pockets.

Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide - Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? By Timothy Ball
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?
"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"
That article explains why no Hot Spot has been found.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.
Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is almost exactly the same as the average over the last 40,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.
Funny how sea levels have been dropping recently...
Yes, very scientific. /S
Well then, it is obviously time for another.
Hmmmmm....
Bad timing for the earliest snow in New York since the Civil War.
Oh well, some people gotta sell snake oil instead of doing an honest days work...
Then prepare for the Big Freeze ....... They lie to deceive us all, and to make us unprepared for the reality of what is to come!
Or not. The evidence from history is that every period of "warming" has been one of abundance and prosperity. The "catastrophe" always happened with the "warming" went away. Plagues, famines, migrations of "barbarians", etc. etc.
Sounds to me like COOLING is the problem.....not WARMING.
Yeah COOLING is the problem, but don’t you realize that cooling is CAUSED by warming?
It’s true. Algore says so.
Good grief! When my wife graduated from school back in 78’ the first job she was offered was from the Point Barrow school. She turned it down.
"Now give us our grant money.....or DIE!"
That's all we need to know.
Two names that raise the hairs on the back of my neck..
Fulbright
Rhodes Scholar
Idiot.....
.....I don't know, but I do know.
Those 'trusted international sources" are all connected to the IPCC, which is peopled by folks who are making out like bandits from their connection to organizations and institutions that are benefitting monetarily from government grants to 'study Global Warming'. There are incestuous relationships all around this issue.
