Thank God for CO2 | The Resilient Earth
http://theresilientearth.com/?q=content/thank-god-co2
Instead of being demonized, CO2 should be celebrated. It keeps our planet livable and nurtures the plant-life that makes the air breathable and all other life possible. Modern day levels of carbon dioxide, far from being alarmingly high, are dangerously low. All the residents of Earth who are currently enjoying the temperate Holocene warmth should thank God for CO2. And if history is our guide, unless we wish to bequeath future generations a frigid hell to live in, we need to keep burning those fossil fuels.

Trenberth: pauses in surface warming could last 15-20 years
"Global warming is continuing but it's being manifested in somewhat different ways," said Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. Warming can go, for instance, to the air, water, land or to melting ice and snow.
Warmth is spreading to ever deeper ocean levels, he said, adding that pauses in surface warming could last 15-20 years.

Obama is pushing electric cars because he says electricity is clean, and electric cars are marketed as being "emissions free." The White House is also pushing the idea that electricity is incredibly dirty and generates huge amounts of emissions.

Tic, tic, tic. The sleeping MSM is stirring. Headlines no one could imagine seeing a few years ago are popping up on a regular basis. The backdown is beginning.

The analogy here is the computer in the 1950s. We did not get better computers by mass-producing subsidised vacuum tubes. We did not provide grants so that all westerners could have a computer in their homes in 1960. Nor did we tax alternatives such as typewriters. The breakthroughs were achieved by a dramatic increase in R&D, leading to many innovations, which enabled companies such as IBM and Apple to produce computers that consumers eventually wanted to buy.

Check out N.M.’s burn scar to see crisp evidence of climate change

I recommend that everyone take the time to witness the immediate after-effects of catastrophic fires. It really helps to bring global climate change into reality. It is possible that we may even begin to see climate refugees leaving this region because it simply won't have sustainable resources to cope with an ever-expanding human population.

Who said ‘climate change deniers have smaller brains’? - BizPac Review
Right on cue, Bette Midler offered her followers a few words of wisdom Saturday in a tweet.
"@ BetteMidler
Are you ready for brain mapping? Obama says they need to begin by monitoring smaller brains. Climate-change deniers may volunteer."

"There are people who just need a cause that's bigger than themselves," said Happer. "Then they can feel virtuous and say other people are not virtuous."
