Scientists to Leave Melting Ice Floe
15 July 2008St. Petersburg scientists are
evacuating a research station built on an ice floe drifting in the
western Arctic Ocean because global warming is melting the ice early, a
spokesman said.
The North Pole-35 station, where 21 researchers and two dogs live in
huts, will be pulled out this week instead of late August, said Sergei
Balyasnikov of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in St.
Petersburg. "The evacuation is ahead of schedule because of global
warming," Balyasnikov said.
The nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika will escort a research vessel to
the station, which is drifting in the western Arctic. The researchers
are packing up their winterized huts and equipment to prepare for the
arrival of the icebreaker and the research vessel Mikhail Somov,
Balyasnikov said.
The research crew landed in early September on the two-by-four kilometer
ice floe near the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. During its westward
drift of more than 2,500 kilometers, the floe has shrunken to just 300
by 600 meters.The Associated Press

According to the National Acadamy of Sciences: ...Scientists know for certain that human activities are
changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing levels of
greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2 ), in the atmosphere since
pre-industrial times have been well-documented. There is no doubt this
atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is largely
the result of human activities. It's well accepted by scientists that
greenhouse gases
trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and tend to warm the planet. By
increasing the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, human
activities are strengthening Earth's natural greenhouse effect. The key
greenhouse gases emitted by human activities remain in the atmosphere for
periods ranging from decades to centuries.
A warming trend of about 1°F has been recorded since the late 19th century.
Warming has occurred in both the northern and southern hemispheres,
and over the oceans. Confirmation of 20th-century global warming is
further substantiated by melting glaciers, decreased snow cover in the
northern hemisphere and even warming below ground.*

Poor Nations to Bear Brunt
as World Warms
By ANDREW C. REVKIN
Wealthy countries are spending far more to limit
their own risks from global warming’s
consequences than to help the world’s most
vulnerable regions.
Many people have the impression that there
is significant scientific disagreement about global
climate change. It's time to lay that
misapprehension to rest. There is a scientific
consensus on the fact that Earth's climate is
heating up and human activities are part of the
reason. We need to stop repeating nonsense about the
uncertainty of global warming and start talking
seriously about the right approach to address it.
Emissions are causing climate change, the panel said
US President George W Bush has been told by leading scientists that
climate change is real and getting worse.
Their White House-commissioned report is now being reviewed by
the president as he prepares to face European leaders angered by his
attack on the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.
A panel from the National Academy of Sciences said a leading
cause is emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels.
Correspondents say this could put pressure on the administration
to shift its position on global warming.
"Temperatures are, in fact, rising," the panel warned.
"Greenhouse gases are accumulating in the earth's atmosphere as a
result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and
subsurface ocean temperatures to rise," the report said.
Most of the latest
research validates our suspicions regarding the importance
of mass media. And beyond that validation, the research also give us
some
understanding of what tactics and methods might be most effective.

USA Today is continuing to show leadership on
global warming (following their
June 12, 2005
article "The debate's over, Globe is warming" ) and making up for years
of neglect by the print media by running a weeklong series on the issue --
in all the sections of the paper. Talk about getting the issue off of the
science pages and onto the front pages where it belongs.
USA Today has separate global warming stories on the covers of its Sports
page, Life section and News - a perfect way to show how this problem is
going to impact everything and everyone. Over on the newspaper's website,
they've done even better, featuring an
interactive graphic in the global warming stories detailing the
percentage that each source of energy provides and predicting future outlook
over the next century.
Thank you USA Today for showing that global warming isn't just an
environmental problem, but a public health problem, a problem for the sports
world, the recreation world -- truly every facet of our lives.

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?
Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by
trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps
our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and
oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon
dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.
The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s
already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a
natural occurrence.1 The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.
We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and
animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms
and droughts is increasing.

Global Warming
There is clear evidence of changes in the composition of the greenhouse
gases in the lower atmosphere. Ice core samples show that both carbon
dioxide and methane levels are higher than at any time in the past 160,000
years.
Estimates of the individual contribution of particular gases to the
greenhouse effect, - their Global Warming Potential (GWP), are broadly
agreed (relative to carbon dioxide = 1). Such estimates depend on the
physical behaviour of each kind of molecule and its lifetime in the
atmosphere, as well as the gas's concentration. Both direct and indirect
effects due to interaction with other gases and radicals must be taken into
account and some of the latter remain uncertain:
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), since
the industrial revolution,
carbon dioxide
levels have increased 31 percent and methane levels have increased 151
percent. Paleoclimate readings taken from ice cores and fossil records
show that these gases, two of the most abundant greenhouse gases, are at
their highest levels in the past 420,000 years.
So we've added significantly to the
amount of carbon
dioxide (and methane and NO2) in the atmosphere. Theory says this should
have increased water vapor in the atmosphere and therefore temperature.
Temperature data gathered
from many different sources all across the globe show that the surface
temperature of the Earth, which includes the lower atmosphere and the
surface of the ocean, has risen dramatically over the past century. The
IPCC estimates the increase has been between 0.4°C and 0.8°C. Worldwide
measurements of sea level show a rise of 0.1 to 0.2 meters over the last
century. Readings gathered from glaciers reveal a steady recession of
the world’s continental glaciers. Taken together, all of these data
suggest that over the last century the planet has experienced the
largest increase in surface temperature in 1,000 years.
global warming science
Global warming is already under way. The evidence is vast and the
urgency of taking action becomes clearer with every new scientific
study. Some of the most obvious signs are visible in the Arctic, where
rising temperatures and melting ice are dramatically changing the
region’s unique landscapes and wildlife—as well as people’s lives and
livelihoods. Across the globe, other early warning signs include melting
glaciers, shifting ranges of plants and animals, and the earlier onset
of spring.
Global warming is caused by emissions of carbon dioxide and other
heat-trapping gases that are emitted primarily by the burning of fossil
fuels and the clearing of forests. These gases remain in our atmosphere
for decades or even centuries.
The profound impact rising temperatures have had in the Arctic
provides a window into a future we may all experience. With continued
warming, we can expect more extreme heat and drought, rising sea levels,
and higher-intensity tropical storms. At risk are our coastal property
and resources, the livability of our cities in summer, and the
productivity of our farms, forests, and fisheries.

26 Common
Climate Myths Debunked - "Despite all the complexities, a firm and
ever-growing body of evidence points to a clear picture: the world is
warming, this warming is due to human activity increasing levels of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and if emissions continue unabated
the warming will too, with increasingly serious consequences." (New
Scientist; May 16, 2007) (See

The Denial Industry - In his
forthcoming book,
Heat, George Monbiot reveals that the oil
giant ExxonMobil gives money to scores of organisations that claim the
science on global warming is inconclusive - which it isn't. It's a
strategy that has set back action on climate change by a decade, and it
involves the same people who insist that passive smoking is harmless. (Guardian.uk;
