Too Late -- Climate change: How global warming is having an impact
http://www.spacedaily.com/2006/091129012207.wdrqeoz7.html

PARIS, Nov 29 (AFP) Nov 29, 2009
From cautiously advising that man-made, heat-trapping carbon gases would disrupt Earth's
climate system, mainstream scientists are increasingly convinced that the first signs of
change are already here.
Following are the main indicators, reported in the scientific press over past three years:

RISING SEAS: Sea levels have risen in tandem with global warming, according to the UN's
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The global average sea level has risen
since 1961 at an average rate of 1.8mm (0.07 inches) per year, but accelerated from 1991
to 3.1mm (0.12 inches) per year. The IPCC estimated sea levels would rise 18-59
centimetres (7.2-23.2 inches) by 2100. But added runoff from melting land ice is
accelerating. According to Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK),
the global sea level is likely to rise at least twice as much as projected. If emissions
are not curbed, "it may well exceed one metre (3.25 feet)."

SHRINKING GLACIERS: Mountain glaciers and snow cover in both hemispheres have widely
retreated in the past few decades. One of the most closely-observed sites, the Cook
glacier on the southern Indian Ocean island of Kerguelen, has shrunk by a fifth in 40
years. Around 1.3 billion people depend on the water that flows down from Himalayan
glaciers, which in some places are falling back at up to 70 metres (230 feet) per year.
The snows capping Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak, could vanish entirely in 20
years, US experts reported this month.

SHIFTING SEASONS: Some species of birds and fish are shifting habitat in response to
warmer temperatures. The range of 105 bird species in France moved north, on average, 91
kilometres (56.5 miles) from 1989 to 2006. Average temperatures, however, shifted
northward 273 kilometres (170 miles) over the same period, nearly three times farther.
Twenty-one out of 36 species of fish in the North Sea migrated northwards between 1962 and
2001 in search of cooler waters. Anecdotal evidence from commercial fishermen says
once-exotic species of fish from warmer latitudes now inhabit southern British waters.

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: The acidity of the seas is rising as oceans absorb more carbon
dioxide (CO2), with an impact on coral and micro-organisms, marine biologists say. Since
the start of the Industrial Revolution, the protective calcium shell of amoeba-like
organisms living in the Southern Ocean called foraminifera, a vital link in the food
chain, has fallen in weight by a third. "Within decades," acidification could severely
affect biodiversity and fisheries, 150 marine scientists jointly warned last January.

ARCTIC ICE: The Greenland ice sheet has lost 1,500 billion tonnes of ice since 2000,
contributing 0.75 mm (0.03 inch) annually to sea levels, according to a study published
this month. In 2009, the Arctic summer sea ice pack thawed to its third smallest size on
record, confirming a shrinkage trend seen over the past 30 years. Some experts believe the
Arctic ice cap will disappear completely in summer months within 20 to 30 years.

ANTARCTIC WARMING: The Antarctic peninsula has warmed by 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 degrees
Fahrenheit) in the last 50 years, around six times the global average. In the past 20
years, Antarctica has lost seven ice shelves -- huge floating ledges of ice, attached to
the shore, that are fed by glaciers.

PERMAFROST RETREAT: Emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane were found to be
soaring at sites investigated in 2006 by University of Alaska scientists at lakes in
northern Siberia. The reason is thawing of the permafrost, causing the warmed soil to
release gas that had been stored for thousands of years. Billions of tonnes of methane,
which comes from natural sources such as decomposing vegetation and marshland, are stored
in the frozen lands of Siberia, Canada and Alaska.

CHANGED PRECIPITATION: Patterns of rainfall or snowfall increased "significantly" from
1900-2005 in eastern parts of North and South America, northern Europe and northern and
central Asia but declined in the Sahel, southern Africa and parts of southern Asia, says
the IPCC. "Globally, the area affected by drought has likely increased since the 1970s,"
it adds.

STORMS: A mooted link between climate change and extreme events has little scientific
consensus. A 2008 study by the Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre at University College
London found that warmer seas accounted for 40 percent of a large increase (from six a
year to eight a year) in the number of Atlantic hurricanes from 1996-2005. Other
scientists say it is hard to say whether a drought, flood or cyclone is part of the longer
trend which is climate change or simply just a one-off event, or series of them.

Damned right. TUKA is sane and outraged at scientific fraud to scam the
world. You're not sane and you support the fraud.

Don't you understand? Anything with that as a source is dead, dead, dead.

"cautiously advising"? Are you kidding? How about hysterical
predictions of 12 FOOT sea level rise!

They are so "convinced" that they scheme on how to withhold release of
the raw data and models on which they base all their estimates. They
also hysterically oppose nuclear power - the only power source with a
reasonable chance of averting this "catastrophe" without iposing a
grater economic catastrophe.

The IPCC is the same organization that was prediction a TWELVE FOT sea
level rise... then it was "Oops", we meant twelve INCHES". FOr a
prediction that is such "settled science" to be off by an order of
magnitude does not inspire confidence.

Big deal - glaciers have been retreating since the last ice age.

So, all the species are shifting their habits in response to the
warming that HASN'T OCCURED in the last decade. Since global temps
have not increased in a decade, why are all the birds changing their
habits? Do they subscribe to the New York Times and the Washington
Post?

This badly undercuts your argument. Supposedly, the pH is dropping
because of increased absorption of CO2. That is possible when the
partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere increases (Henry's Law). But
temperature increase in the water should DECREASE the solubility of
CO2 (Hadley's Law). The fact the oceans are acting as such an effect
CO2 sink is encouraging, not discouraging. The scientists also don;t
bother to point out what the actual pH of the oceans is, how quickly
it is changing, the confidence intervals for any poarticualr
measurement, and its buffering capacity.

That is probably why environmentalists visiting the Artic got STUCK in
unexpected ice. The same has happened in the Antarctic to a Russian
cruise ship.

Do the IPCC models explain WHY Antarctica is warming 6x FASTER than
the global average?

More bs predictions of hurricanes, when hurricanes have been known
for a very long time to follow cyclic patterns.

The "other scientists" are correct. What happened to all the nasty
hurricanes that were predicted for this year? OOPS!

It isn't so much the hacked emails that are important - some of the
modelling code was posted. Computer Programmers report that the code
is poorly documented and filled with "Fudge factors" that aren't
explained.

I got to see a presentation of the development of a computer model to
explain ice cores from Antarctica. It was filled with so many
(untenable) assumptions as to be completely meaningless. Yet the Left
wants to destroy the world economy to "Save" the world from "Climate
change" based on this drivel.
