Major report warns climate change
could raise temperatures by 10 degrees

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Ben Geman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/12/2013 1:34:10 PM

A major draft federal report concludes that climate change is already affecting U.S. residents through heat waves, droughts and other changes, and warns that temperatures could increase as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit if global carbon emissions keep soaring. The third National Climate Assessment, released Friday, said there’s “unambiguous evidence” that earth is warming, and that climate change over the past 50 years is driven primarily by human activity, especially from burning fossil fuels. “Certain types of weather events have become more frequent and/or intense, including heat waves,

Comments:
Right on cue they start laying the groundwork for cap and trade. Lamar Alexander says "I believe climate change is due to a combination of factors..." For a Republican to even utter those words is pure insanity. No wonder we are in such trouble in Washington.

It´s Whack A Mole time for climate change!
It has nothing to do with carbon emissions but there is a lot of Green in pretending- just ask Al Gorzeela!

This released just after the international scientists stood up and said there was no man made increase in temps.
They think us stupid.
The earth is warming, and has been for 21k yrs or so.
We didn´t do it and we cannot tax it away.
When it gets down to the cutting, we should eat the scientists first.

The national assessments have always been founded on the IPCC. Now that the IPCC has said there has been no warming despite a very significant increase in man based CO2, This federal body has to move in an protect their ability to raise taxes based on carbon emissions.

From the report: "Certain types of weather events have become more frequent and/or intense"

These are the same goobers who told us - - post-Katrina - - that glo-bull warming was making hurricanes "more frequent and/or intense" - - and yet - -

- - and yet since they made that "scientific projection" 7 1/2 years ago not a single Category 3 hurricane has struck the US mainland. Or - - to put it in their style of rhetoric - - "the longest period without a hurricane EVER!"

There´s no shaming or embarrassing these people. They lust after government grant money - - and they´ll write or do anything to get it.

There seems to be an open competition to produce the most outrageous predictions while staying within the settled parameters of ´settled science´. The winners apparently get more government grants and two weeks at Disney World.

I would assume in a lower avg.income in this economy would put pressure on people to cut spending where thee can and energy consumption has to be one of them. Nobody is intentionally wasting energy except liberals living in huge mansions and flying private jets like AlGore.

Punishing people for using a necessity of life is an absurdity.They´re already complaining about the decrease in gas tax from hybrids which should mean less CO2,if in fact that´s causing GW,which I doubt. I don´t think the CO2 compound holds together in open space but I´m no scientist.

I love the verb ´could.´ Yes, the temperature could rise 10 degrees. It could also fall 10 degrees, or it could stay the same. No matter how the temperature changes, the initial statement is still true.

A major report, it´s a major report. The National Climate Assessment and Development and Advisory Committee was formed in 2010 and is part of the Commerce Dept. The scientific basis of the report is shaky at best. The chair of the committee has his phd in biology the two co-chairs are an economist and an environmental attorney. Propaganda and The Hill loves to spread it.

To see how preposterous global warming/climate change claims have become, simply think of a malady humans want to avoid. Take tooth decay. Do a search for tooth decay and global warming. Or flatulence and global warming. Or dandruff and global warming. Or obesity and global warming. Little remains on this planet, good or bad, that has not been "linked" to cyclic changes that were here long before we were, and will be here long after we are gone.

If they could just explain what gas guzzlers they drove a hundred thousand years ago to cause that "climate change," then I´ll give them a hearing. Absurd and fatuous, just like Al the bore Gore.

It is embarrassing when our guys express ignorance on climate issues to the extent a leader in Congress and chairman of an relevant committee says that sun spots cause higher temperatures on Earth, apparently unaware that sunspots are only an indicator of solar activity.

It is vital we skeptics put our knowledgable people in Congress to thwart the ecochondriacs the correct way.

Maybe they should tax China and India (the 2 largest CO2 producers in the world) and mandate that those 2 countries drop their CO2 emissions to US levels.

Bet if the UN actually got seriously interested in taxing China and telling them how to run their industry, the entire man-made global warming nonsense would go away.

Of course, who actually believes that this is about the weather in the first place?

Reality Check!!
If anyone will bother to go check the ONLY truly global temperature set available -- NASA´s low atmosphere monitoring multiple satellite system, they will find the "global warming" ended about 2000 and has been flat ever since; and trending slightly downward the past couple of years.
And if you look at the whole 40 year record you will notice it looks a lot like a sine wave.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds. The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by
