frustrating to listen to. Scientists can’t come up with answers acceptable to laymen.
But they did have the courage to say “it is too late”

they have answers and they broke it down into simple terms to explain it, you should try listening to them when they don’t put it into laymens.

On 7/28/11, it was revealed that the scientist behind the polar-bears-are-in-trouble research is being investigated for “scientific misconduct”. Then, a new study of NASA data revealed that the earth is actually allowing more heat to escape the planet than previously thought by the climate change community. During a speech at the Aspen Institute in Colorado, Al Gore launched into a vulgar tirade while accusing skeptics of media manipulation.

There was definitely a lot of carbon dioxide being expelled in that studio.

@nellre Scientists have been warning us that change will come of we keep doing what we’re doing since at least the mid-1950s. Check this for just one example – and note it was written specifically for the layman: watch?v=AuV0crHDkmY We didn’t listen in the 1950s. We didn’t listen in the 1970s. We didn’t listen in the 1990s or in 2000. The rest of the world has been taking action while we’re still locked in an artificial ‘debate’.

17:20 Good point. Dave Titley, chief Oceanographer for the US Navy also brought up a good point. Many oil refineries are located along the gulf coast. A catastrophic flood (turbocharged by sea level rise), would wipe out a significant part of our ability to refine gasoline and diesel. A risk here would be skyrocketing fuel prices and food shortages. Not fun.

@vechorik: The guy who was researching polar bears has been vidicated….i.e. His work checks. Rather than worrying about whether this argument is about “greenies” saving polar bears, think of those animals as “Canaries in a coal mine”. Polar bears are not political!

@vechorik: As for Algore, if he wants to cuss, that’s his thing. The real question…algore or nogore, is whether the science is sound! It is. Whether or not we do any policy is a great place to start debate. Can we afford it? Should we let the free market decide? (hint: kids today can’t buy big cars, they ride little scooters). Lots of good questions there, but the science is pretty sound.

dickhead talk about THE RATE OF CHANGE…nature changes at a very slow rate over 100′s of 100000′s and millions of years… Humans are changing the earths environment very quickly. It can be measured in years…nature can’t keep up, As a result nature is dying all over the world….PEOPLE; UNDERSTAND “THE RATE OF CHANGE” Yes nature changes, SLOWLY OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS..Humans ARE CHANGING THE ENVIRONMENT ON A DAYLY BASIS
