“Blocking events” caused by the jet stream that exacerbate ice melt have become increasingly common over Greenland since the 1850s. Accelerating Greenland’s melt could not only cause increased sea level rise but a slew of other climate impacts connected to changing ocean temperatures, which in turn would drive more changes.

Brazil Won’t Buy U.S. GMO Corn, Highlights Worldwide Divide Over GMOs

A Bloomberg article illustrated how the world’s vast patchwork of GMO regulations can deter international trade.

Case in point, even though the Brazilian chicken industry is suffering from a domestic corn shortage this year, companies refuse to buy corn from the U.S. because of Brazil’s stringent regulations on GMOs.

In 17 Days Vermont’s Historic GMO Labeling Law Goes Into Effect: Is Big Food Ready?

In less than three weeks, Vermont will enact a historic mandate that requires labels on products containing genetically modified(GMOs) ingredients. The no-strings-attached bill, which the country’s second smallest state passed on May 2014 and goes into effect July 1, has rippled across the food industry and has sparked abitter and expensive food fight from opponents of the law.

But with only 17 days to go, it looks like Big Food has unenthusiastically surrendered despite spending millions upon millions to fight state-by-state labeling mandates in court and to lobby Congress.

Chile’s Salmon Industry Using Record Levels of Antibiotics to Combat Bacterial Outbreak
Lorraine Chow | June 14, 2016 9:48 am | Comments

The Chilean salmon industry’s rampant use of antibiotics is once again under the microscope after a new report revealed that salmon producers are using record levels of the drugs to treat stocks suffering from salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS).

Antibiotic use among Chilean salmon producers has skyrocketed amid a bacterial outbreak caused by piscirickettsiosis (or SRS) bacteria.
Following a Chile Appeals Court order, the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca) revealed that the country’s salmon producers used 557 tonnes of antibiotics in 2015, with consumption rate per tonne of salmon reaching its highest point in the last nine years at 660 grams per tonne. The previous high was 640 grams per tonne in 2007. Usage was as low as 310 grams per tonne in 2010, Undercurrent News noted. The newest figures were compiled from 46 companies that operate in both freshwater and sea water.

May Shatters Yet Another Monthly Heat Record as CO2 Levels Soar

May shattered yet another monthly heat record, according to new data from NASA. While May was 0.93 C above the 1951-1980 average for the month, it was actually the first month since October to be less than 1 C warmer than average. Despite an abating El Niño, scientists still expect 2016 to be the warmest year ever recorded, breaking the record set just last year.

Photo credit: NASA
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are also forecast to shatter a “symbolic barrier” this year, jumping a record 3.1 parts per million (ppm) and permanently passing 400 ppm. El Niño has played a big role in the recent surge in CO2 levels, the scientists say, reducing plants’ ability to sequester carbon dioxide.

Sending Out an S.O.S.: It’s Time to Save Ourselves
Peter Willcox | June 7, 2016 10:22 am | Comments
I’ve been a captain for Greenpeace for 35 years, fighting for our environment in every corner of the globe. I’ve confronted polluters, poachers, smugglers, terrorists, criminals—both private and corporate, armies, navies, vigilantes and you-name-it. I’ve been arrested, jailed, had my ships chased, shot at, boarded and attacked, and had French commandos bomb and sink my ship under my feet—killing a crew-mate in the process.

The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was an operation by the “action” branch of the French foreign intelligence services, carried out on July 10, 1985. During the operation, two operatives sank the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet in the port of Auckland, New Zealand on its way to a protest against a planned French nuclear test in Moruroa. Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship.
Wherever I go, people ask me why I continue to take the risks that I take in defending the Earth. For me, the answer is simple: I care about what our planet will be like in the future. Not in the distant future, but the very-near-term-future in which my daughters Anita and Natasha (ages 24 and 20) will be living while raising their own children.

“If your drinking water is contaminated with toxic chemicals you might be able to make do with another source, but if your air is toxic you can’t choose to breathe somewhere else,” Deb Thomas, director of ShaleTest who lives in Wyoming and was one of the study leaders, said.

TransCanada, owner of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline currently being contested in federal court and in front of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) legal panel, has won a $2.1 billion joint venture bid with Sempra Energy for a pipeline to shuttle gas obtained from fracking in Texas’ Eagle Ford Shale basin across the Gulf of Mexico and into Mexico.

The 500-mile long Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline, as reported on previously by DeSmog, is part of an extensive pipeline empire TransCanada is building from the U.S. to Mexico. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Wall Street Journal Willing to Print Truth About Climate Change if You Pay Them
Climate Denier Roundup | June 15, 2016 11:47 am | Comments

The Wall Street Journal’s opinion page is perhaps the most influential outlet for climate denial and rarely gives its readers accurate information about how fossil fuels cause global warming.

The WSJ has written 201 editorials on climate change since 1997. Exactly zero acknowledge the cause.

Hiding in the Amazon's muddy waters, a massive reef

By Michael Harthorne

Published April 26, 2016

You don't hear a lot of good news about coral reefs these days, so the the discovery of more than 3,600 square miles of undiscovered reef at the mouth of the Amazon River is a pretty big deal.

Climate drove demise of South America's giant beasts

One-tonne bears, sloths the size of elephants and sabre-toothed cats all happily coexisted with humans for up to 3,000 years, but were extinct within 300 years after the climate of South America rapidly warmed.

Super Cool Facts About Sea Turtles
Natalia Lima, Care2 | June 16, 2016 9:56 am | Comments
June 16 is World Sea Turtle Day and while we all know they’re pretty, that the younglings rush to the water after they hatch and that they often become victims of plastic waste, there’s so much more to these guys. Their age, anatomy and physical abilities are astonishing and undeniably justify giving these guys their own special day.

1. They think jellyfish are delicious.

Leatherbacks and hawkbill turtles feed on jellyfish and keep their populations in check. Plastic looks like jellyfish when it’s floating in the water and that’s why so many turtles die from ingesting plastic—they were going for a tasty snack.

believe what you want buddy
have no intention of attempting to change anyones mind in what they believe??

be nice to see someone try and refute everything thats been posted tho?
denials/deniers tend to fizzle out/fade away quite quickly in my observations huh



No such thing as global warming the climate changes and it has for millions of years.
There are just as many scientist that says it fake as much as there are that say it's real.

... There are just as many scientist that says it fake as much as there are that say it's real.

Wait a minute... Are we back onto the "Myth of the 13 Inch Long Penis" again?... Oh, oops... Sorry, wrong thread!

1) There hasn't been any global warming since 1997: If nothing changes in the next year, we're going to have kids who graduate from high school who will have never seen any "global warming" during their lifetimes. That's right; the temperature of the planet has essentially been flat for 17 years. This isn't a controversial assertion either. Even the former Director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, Phil Jones, admits that it's true. Since the planet was cooling from 1940-1975 and the upswing in temperature afterward only lasted 22 years, a 17 year pause is a big deal. It also begs an obvious question: How can we be experiencing global warming if there's no actual "global warming?"
2) There is no scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and caused by man: Questions are not decided by "consensus." In fact, many scientific theories that were once widely believed to be true were made irrelevant by new evidence. Just to name one of many, many examples, in the early seventies, scientists believed global cooling was occurring. However, once the planet started to warm up, they changed their minds. Yet, the primary "scientific" argument for global warming is that there is a "scientific consensus" that it's occurring. Setting aside the fact that's not a scientific argument, even if that ever was true (and it really wasn't), it's certainly not true anymore. Over 31,000 scientists have signed on to a petition saying humans aren't causing global warming. More than 1000 scientists signed on to another report saying there is no global warming at all. There are tens of thousands of well-educated, mainstream scientists who do not agree that global warming is occurring at all and people who share their opinion are taking a position grounded in science.
3) Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012: The loss of Arctic ice has been a big talking point for people who believe global warming is occurring. Some people have even predicted that all of the Arctic ice would melt by now because of global warming. Yet, Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012. How much Arctic ice really matters is an open question since the very limited evidence we have suggests that a few decades ago, there was less ice than there is today, but the same people who thought the drop in ice was noteworthy should at least agree that the increase is important as well.
4) Climate models showing global warming have been wrong over and over: These future projections of what global warming will do to the planet have been based on climate models. Essentially, scientists make assumptions about how much of an impact different factors will have; they guess how much of a change there will be and then they project changes over time. Unfortunately, almost all of these models showing huge temperature gains have turned out to be wrong.
5) Predictions about the impact of global warming have already been proven wrong:The debate over global warming has been going on long enough that we've had time to see whether some of the predictions people made about it have panned out in the real world. For example, Al Gore predicted all the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013. In 2005, the Independent ran an article saying that the Artic had entered a death spiral.
Meanwhile, Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012. James Hansen of NASA fame predicted that the West Side Highway in New York would be under water by now because of global warming.

1) There hasn't zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

All garbage. The cut and paste you did is by John Hawkins who is a little RIght Wing BLOGGER and NO SCIENTIST. He's quite a nutcase. Are you so afraid to source your material or back up your position from multiple well-regarded sources or do you prefer your propanda from thehill.com and rightwingnews.com only?



Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

It actually is very real. On behalf of my colleagues, I apologize. You have clearly learned very little about science, and we bear some responsibility for that.

Ok. We will just move you to the "willful ignorance" column and move on. Wasting one's time here is not my idea of life.

So you are saying their are no scientist or anybody in the scientific community that is saying global warming is not happening?

Very good sir.
Just remembered no one in the history of the Internet has ever had their opinion changed by a forum post.

 

[deleted15807]

So you are saying their are no scientist or anybody in the scientific community that is saying global warming is not happening?

Right. And what issue do you ever get 100% agreement on anything? Zero. Fact is 97% believe climate change and who is causing it.
