Signs of climate change fail to shift political landscape
The evidence for climate change grows: The first eight months of 2010 put this year on track to tie 1998 as the hottest year on record, global bleaching is devastating coral reefs and Arctic summer sea ice is reaching new lows.Flashback: Recidivist of the day: Juliet Eilperin « Green Hell Blog
But for all the visible signs of global warming, weakened political support for curbing the emissions that drive it means that the United States is unlikely to impose national limits on greenhouse gases before 2013, at the earliest.

Rafe Pomerance, a senior fellow at the group Clean Air-Cool Planet, said he and other experts are stunned to see so many examples of global warming materializing at once: "It is breathtaking to watch several indicators demonstrate simultaneously climate impacts from the poles to the equator."

"If many of the climate science deniers get elected to Congress, it is difficult to imagine the next Congress limiting global warming pollution," said Daniel J. Weiss, who directs climate [scam] strategy for the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Despite the political impasse in Washington, several recent readings now suggest that climate change is accelerating.

Robert Bindschadler, NASA's emeritus chief scientist, said researchers are just beginning to grasp how warmer ocean waters are helping erode ice sheets, and that this will lead to more rapid sea-level rise by the end of the century.
When the paper’s ombudsman gave her a polite spanking for biased climate reporting last fall, he concluded by saying:
It’s a close call, but I think she should stay on the beat. With her work now getting special scrutiny, it will become clear if the conflict is real.

"More laughable climate propodanda?" Ahh, yes, all those amusing facts and verifiable numbers.
Now, all together now – LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA –
What do you want others to do that you are not doing? I notice that you keep on using carbon...
