Pentagon plays part in climate change - Baltimore Sun

Instead of global warming, use climate chaos. What I witnessed in Baltimore on the Friday night of the storm was climate chaos. Only a head-in-the-sand politician would deny that human activity is causing climate chaos....TheU.S. military's environmental record is, to say the least, dismal. I argue that the Pentagon is greatly responsible for the assault on Mother Earth, as it is the world's number one consumer of fossil fuels. There are some 1,000 military outposts, thousands of flights per year, gas-guzzling Hummers, depleted uranium, nuclear weapons, toxic military sites and environmental ecocide in war zones.

If we are to save this planet, war is not the answer. We the people must rise up and demand severe cutbacks in Pentagon spending. These tax dollars then can be use to develop the green economy. Let's do it before the next mega-storm hits Baltimore.

How events change our perception of climate - IOL SciTech | IOL.co.za

[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco] told a university forum in Australia on Friday that perceptions are changing as the US sees “more and more examples of extreme weather and extreme climate-related events.”

Among them, she noted record-breaking wildfires in the West in the past two years, including in Colorado, where blazes have recently damaged or destroyed nearly 350 homes and killed two people.

Other examples she mentioned are a record warm spring and preseason hurricanes.

Big difference: 1.5C global warming scenario stabilizes sea level rise (1.5m) in long term, but a 2C scenario does not!
