I have been waiting for the most obvious reason for global warming to put forth which is all the fires in Siberia, Brazil and California and of course some volcanoes spewing heat.

Yes, it is stupid but it is not as stupid as some of the other reasons put forward by companies and people who want gullible people to ignore facts. One reader said the Earth is getting closer to the sun.  Astrophysicists think it might be less than a hundred miles each year. Actually the sun is still expanding. Our orbit is elliptical with aphelion and perihelion having a difference of 3.1 million miles so a hundred miles is microscopic.

Another falsehood is the sun is getting hotter. It will in a few billion years as its hydrogen fuel is burned up. Oddly that argument is usually accompanied by the statement we aren’t getting hotter.

One of my favorites is the moving of a few temperature recording instruments from a few cities to more rural areas. What is funny is they represent less than .001 percent of all the NOAA and other departments and reporting organizations. In reality moving them is a mistake because it upsets the continuity of those instruments’ reporting history.  Decades ago the official location moved from Midway Airport to O’Hare upsetting local temperatures records because the lake temporizing is less.

Social media spreads half-truths to total outrageous lies which gullible people believe. If people did simple fact checking they would know it’s untrue. Much is put out by fossil fuel company’s surrogates, political hacks, and Russian bots trying to further divide America. Gullibility has become an American trait.

When the leader of a country, an organization, or a business denies the factual evidence of climate change and global warming, they should be tried in the World Court at The Hague for crimes against humanity. When ethnic cleansing puts people in the court for killing a few thousand people, shouldn’t leaders who actively work to keep their country from reducing the level of carbon gases or continuing to produce those gases be guilty of crimes against humanity?

Never have so few people had the ability to kill all the humans without the use of nuclear weapons. The Presidents of the United States, Brazil, Philippines, Poland, and a few other countries have said it isn’t happening. They are actively eliminating any activity or program which would reduce the CO₂ and methane in the air. Trump has actually fired hundreds of people in seventeen agencies for trying to educate and research climate change.

If someone is found guilty of crimes against humanity getting ten to twenty years for ethnic cleansing, what should be the penalty for killing billions? Every minute we waste denying the obvious facts and causing the remediation and reduction to be postponed is contributing to the destruction of humanity and life as we know it. What should their punishment be?

I assume glacier behavior and physics haven’t changed since I studied them forty-nine years ago. Glaciers are not a big block of ice as most people think. They are sort of a viscous, grainy (firn) substance which flows down hill. It is quite possible for a glacier with a static amount of ice to flow downhill and reduce its thickness. This will cause the glacier to melt faster. Thus, it is possible for a glacier to grow while dying, hence the Icelandic glacier’s demise shortly after growing.

Terminology hasn’t changed either. Scientifically, ‘weather’ is not just day to day or even a month to month time period but up to three years. It is ‘weather’ when we have a hot year, then a normal year, followed by a cooler year. Climate is the average of a string of ‘weather’ cycles. So if we have several decades of increasing temperature averages the climate is warming. It is possible for a large area to have a minor climate change because of some unusual event. The little ice age some readers refer to was such an event. Although it should be considered ‘weather’ because of its duration, it did affect a couple of cycles. It occurred because the stratosphere was filled with volcanic ash and gases. The effect was mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.

Today’s concern is rapidly increasing global temperatures which are increasing faster than predicted because of methane. Methane is stored in the arctic permafrost. It is thirty times more powerful than CO₂ in holding radiant heat. That is why the Arctic’s temperature increase is twice as fast as much of the rest of the planet. The Arctic permafrost is melting faster every year. It is the reason why year around polar shipping routes will happen in a few years.

Humans drill into the earth, bring up methane, and pipe it into our houses where we burn it creating CO₂. If all the fossil fuels were left in the ground, we wouldn’t be looking at a steamy end of humanity.

Isn’t it hard to deny this planet is warming up? Heat records are falling somewhere in America almost every week. This fall saw the hottest month ever in some Northeastern states. Earlier some Southwest cities were around 115-120º. Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the East Coast have had one record breaking rain and flooding after another. The long term droughts have been briefly paused by a rain or two. Northern Illinois has been roasting this year. The oceans are rising causing some of Miami and Norfolk to be flooded with every high tide. The Navy is looking to combat the current and future flooding of bases around the world.

What will America be like in 2100? America’s scientists have decided to tell the truth hoping that we are competent enough to handle the truth. America is the only country with some normally intelligent people denying what they can see if they watch the real news and get around our country.

The rest of the world’s countries are preparing for the effects of human climate meddling and are scared to death. Even China and Russia are preparing for the effects while pushing their economic nationalism. The rest of the world’s projections say our area will have a year around temperature like central Florida. We might need year around air conditioning. Dikes and walls around Miami, Norfolk, New York, New Orleans, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and many other coastal cities won’t work. Look at a topographic map of our coasts and see how much is eight foot or less and then how many more feet will flood with storm surges.

Many acres of prime agricultural areas will be flooded by the seas, dried out, or become temperature insensitive like Napa Valley Grapes.

The computer projects for global warming predict rising yearly world temperature–Check. More violent storms–Check. Violent swings in weather–Check. More and greater droughts–Check. Heavier rains–Check. Flora and fauna moving towards higher latitudes or altitudes–Check. Massive immigration people from tropical areas to temperate areas–Check. Forest and grassland fires–Check.

Highest recorded temperatures ever in Japan, Portugal, Spain and Southwestern United States. Highest recorded ocean levels and rising. Highest recorded rain falls in many places. Forest fires above the Arctic Circles. Ice free water is open for months between Canada, Siberia and the polar ice. Russian icebreakers go to the North Pole. Glaciers from Greenland to Antarctica disappearing or melting faster than ever. Desserts are expanding faster. Insects moving farther north and not freezing out in winters. Tundra melting and releasing thousands of years old methane. World CO2 levels higher than ever recorded in 600,000 year-old glaciers and Antarctica ice cap. Ours and other navies are figuring out how to raise or move bases.

Some people just can’t see facts and what is happening in front of them! Even the world’s major religions are behind some of the global warming studies. The Vatican funded some of the studies which is why the Pope is warning of the danger. When world’s unbiased scientists and governments say it’s happening, why do some American’s think otherwise?

The American government just released an in-depth study from all its scientific departments telling how bad global warming will be. They didn’t try to minimize the damage and gave us reality. The President, as usual, denied science.
