Throughout the 1980s, [Paul] Douglas was also skeptical that an upward trend in global temperatures were truly the result of man made gases.
Tthis notable upward trend,however, continued consistently. By the mid-90s, even Douglas had no choice but to acknowledge these unsettling changes. At this point, the weather was becoming remarkably erratic, unpredictable and intense; far more than usual.He began including climate statistics in daily weather segments on television such as annual trends in flash-flooding, hail, humidity, decreased snowfall and the like.
Sadly, Douglas found that mixing climate and weather was a problem in local TV news given its reliance on Q-scores and market research. In 2008, he lost his job in local TV. Douglas did however continue to write a daily column for the Star Tribune. According to Douglas, “Mixing climate news in with weather reports made me a lightning rod for skeptics there, too. The flame-mail was relentless”
Douglas felt strongly about speaking out and he continued to, despite hate mail.

“Today’s Climate More Sensitive to Carbon Dioxide Than in Past 12 Million Years“
You just knew they’d conjure up some magical means to explain past ice ages during periods of high atmospheric carbon dioxide and warm periods with low CO2.
We should have known it was so simple – the physics changed (don’t know why we didn’t pick up on that).

World Climate Report » Asian Air Pollution Warms U.S. More Than U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
There is a just-published study that provides evidence that air pollution emanating from Asia will warm the U.S. as much as or even more than all U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Here’s absolutely a must read…thanks to reader NeilM.
