Scientists Warn of Perilous Climate Shift Within Decades, Not Centuries!

“We’re in danger of handing young people a situation that’s out of their control,” said James E. Hansen, the retired NASA climate scientist who led the new research. The findings were released Tuesday morning by a European science journal, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The basic claim of the paper is that by burning fossil fuels at a prodigious pace and pouring heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, humanity is about to provoke an abrupt climate shift. Living in Minnesota will be impacted as well.

Specifically, the authors believe that fresh water pouring into the oceans from melting land ice will set off a feedback loop that will cause parts of the great ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica to disintegrate rapidly. What do we know to be true about Global Climate Change? These answers will help:

Should we not be listening to our best scientists? They have been right about a lot of things...DDT, Ozone, gravity, light, Earth-Moon relationship, Earth-Sun relationship, germs, viruses, polio, eclipses, northern lights, sunspots, the number of hearts in a human, distance to planets and stars, airplanes, going to the moon, atoms, artificial limbs, computer technology, the relationship to smoking and cancer, etc. Or, should we be listening to those who profit from Global Climate Change, and those who have been manipulated by them?

The politician who eventually does get elected as president, and those who do get elected as your/our representatives, will have more of an impact on the lives of your/our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews than they will on you or I. For those who have ben thinking of taking a break from FB, this may be a good time as it will only get worse for the next few months. So far, the impact of social media on our election process is not looking good! Unfortunately, advertising works. Test marketing works and most all of the media airtime has been purchased by those who want to influence how the average person votes. If they can convince a generation of citizens that smoking is not harmful to their health, that beverages, particularly water, is better wrapped in plastic, that human caused global climate change is not something our generation needs to deal with, than swinging an election is child's play!
