Scientists OK Gore's Movie for Accuracy
By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
(06-27) 18:15 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --
The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al
Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.
The former vice president's movie - replete with the prospect of a flooded
New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening
droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets - mostly got the
science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read
the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.
The AP contacted more than 100 top climate researchers by e-mail and phone
for their opinion. Among those contacted were vocal skeptics of climate
change theory. Most scientists had not seen the movie, which is in limited
release, or read the book.
But those who have seen it had the same general impression: Gore conveyed
the science correctly; the world is getting hotter and it is a manmade
catastrophe-in-the-making caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
"Excellent," said William Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of
Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University. "He got all the important
material and got it right."
Robert Corell, chairman of the worldwide Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
group of scientists, read the book and saw Gore give the slideshow
presentation that is woven throughout the documentary.
"I sat there and I'm amazed at how thorough and accurate," Corell said.
"After the presentation I said, `Al, I'm absolutely blown away. There's a
lot of details you could get wrong.' ... I could find no error."
Gore, in an interview with the AP, said he wasn't surprised "because I took
a lot of care to try to make sure the science was right."
The tiny errors scientists found weren't a big deal, "far, far fewer and
less significant than the shortcoming in speeches by the typical politician
explaining an issue," said Michael MacCracken, who used to be in charge of
the nation's global warming effects program and is now chief scientist at
the Climate Institute in Washington.
One concern was about the connection between hurricanes and global warming.
That is a subject of a heated debate in the science community. Gore cited
five recent scientific studies to support his view.
"I thought the use of imagery from Hurricane Katrina was inappropriate and
unnecessary in this regard, as there are plenty of disturbing impacts
associated with global warming for which there is much greater scientific
consensus," said Brian Soden, a University of Miami professor of meteorology
and oceanography.
Some scientists said Gore confused his ice sheets when he said the effect of
the Clean Air Act is noticeable in the Antarctic ice core; it is the
Greenland ice core. Others thought Gore oversimplified the causal-link
between the key greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and rising temperatures.
While some nonscientists could be depressed by the dire disaster-laden
warmer world scenario that Gore laid out, one top researcher thought it was
too optimistic. Tom Wigley, senior scientist at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research, thought the former vice president sugarcoated the
problem by saying that with already-available technologies and changes in
habit - such as changing light bulbs - the world could help slow or stop
global warming.
While more than 1 million people have seen the movie since it opened in May,
that does not include Washington's top science decision makers. President
Bush said he won't see it. The heads of the Environmental Protection Agency
and NASA haven't seen it, and the president's science adviser said the movie
is on his to-see list.
"They are quite literally afraid to know the truth," Gore said. "Because if
you accept the truth of what the scientific community is saying, it gives
you a moral imperative to start to rein in the 70 million tons of global
warming pollution that human civilization is putting into the atmosphere
every day."
As far as the movie's entertainment value, Scripps Institution geosciences
professor Jeff Severinghaus summed it up: "My wife fell asleep. Of course, I
was on the edge of my chair."

No, it is not surprising that "these guys have some big cajones!"
What IS surprising, in a very big way, is that so many other wise
quite normal people run like idiot sheep after them and worship
the ejaculates and excrements of those con men...

Look, ... it may have begun even earlier but in recorded history
that phenomenon started ~ 6000 years ago, when the peasants

more dumber gyoim, the Xians, who followed that train of crap,
only to be out done be the even dumber & more fanatical ass-

continued, down the line over millennia, via Marx & Engles to
Hitler whose own Nazi Reichsmarshall and Luftwaffe-Chief
Hermann Goering stated during his interrogation after WWII:
>
"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Hermann Goering
shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his
life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back
to his farm in one piece?" -- "Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country."

These tactics of selling doom & fears which teaches & instills
all kinds mental aberrations continues unabashed, like seen here:

The peasantry is a marvelous and lovable phenomenon... you can
tell'em into there faces that you lie to them and fuck'em.. Still they
continue to smile in awe and continue with bending over and lick
your dick and give you their last dime that was meant to feed their

Lake Chad "drying up" Gore says “global warming” dried up Lake Chad in
Africa. It did not. Over-extraction of water and changing agricultural
patterns dried the lake, which was also dry in 8500BC, 5500BC, 1000BC
and 100BC. Ms. Kreider says, “There are multiple stresses upon Lake

“stresses” do not include “global warming.”

Gore says coral reefs are “bleaching” because of “global warming.”
They are not. There was some bleaching in 1998, but this was caused by
the exceptional El Nino Southern Oscillation that year. Two similarly
severe El Ninos over the past 250 years also caused extensive
bleaching. “Global warming” was nothing to do with it.
Many things can cause bleaching, such as land run-off in Australia,
and other natural factors..... Coral reefs have been with us for

The sun "heats the Arctic ocean"
Gore says that ice-melt allows the Sun to heat the Arctic Ocean, and a
diagram shows the Sun’s rays heating it directly. It does not. The
ocean emits radiant energy at the moment of absorption, and would
freeze if there were no atmosphere. It is the atmosphere, not the Sun
that warms the ocean. Also, Gore’s diagram confuses the tropopause
with the ionosphere, and he makes a number of other errors indicating
that he does not understand the elementary physics of radiative
transfer.
ERROR 18
Arctic "warming fastest" Gore says the Arctic has been warming faster
than the rest of the planet. It is not. While it is in general true
that during periods of warming (whether natural or anthropogenic) the
Arctic will warm faster than other regions, Gore does not mention that
the Arctic has been cooling over the past 60 years, and is now one
degree Celsius cooler than it was in the 1940s. There was a record
amount of snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere in 2001. Several
vessels were icebound in the Arctic in the spring of 2007, but few
newspapers reported this. The newspapers reported that the North-West
Passage was free of ice in 2007, and said that this was for the first
time since records began: but the records, taken by satellites, had
only begun 29 years previously. The North-West Passage had also been
open for shipping in 1945, and, in 1903, the great Norwegian explorer
Amundsen had passed through it in a sailing ship.
ERROR 19
Greenland ice sheet "unstable"
ERROR 20
Himalayan glacial melt waters "failing"
ERROR 21
Peruvian glaciers "disappearing" Gore says that a Peruvian glacier is
less extensive now than it was in the 1940s, implying that “global
warming” is the cause. It is not. Except for the very highest peaks,
the normal state of the Peruvian cordilleras has been ice-free
throughout most of the past 10,000 years.
ERROR 22
Mountain glaciers worldwide "disappearing" Gore says that “the ice has
a story to tell, and it is worldwide.” He shows several before-and-
after pictures of glaciers disappearing. However, the glacial melt
began in the 1820s, long before humankind could have had any effect,
and has continued at a uniform rate since, showing no acceleration
since humankind began increasing the quantity of CO2 in the
atmosphere. Total ice volumes in three of the last four Ice Ages were
lower than they are today, and “global warming” had nothing to do with
that.
ERROR 23
Sahara desert "drying" Gore says terrible tragedies are occurring in
the southern Sahara because of drought which he blames on “global
warming.” There is no drought caused by “global warming.” In 2007
there were record rains across the whole of the southern Sahara. In
the past 25 years the Sahara has shrunk by some 300,000 square
kilometers because of additional rainfall. Some scientists think
“global warming” may actually mitigate pre-existing droughts because
there will be more water vapor in the atmosphere. Before 1200 AD there
were frequent, prolonged and severe droughts in the Great Plains.
Since 1200 AD, there has been more rainfall. Likewise, the US has had
more rainfall since the 1950s than it had in the earlier part of the
20th Century, when the great droughts which were then common were
described by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath. South African
rainfall was also more stable in the second half of the 20th Century,
when human effect on climate is said to have become significant, than
in the first half.
ERROR 24
West Antarctic ice sheet "unstable" Gore says disturbing changes
have been measured under the West Antarctic ice sheet, implicitly
because of “global warming.” Yet most of the recession in this ice
sheet over the past 10,000 years has occurred in the absence of any
sea-level or temperature forcing. In most of Antarctica, the ice is in
fact growing thicker. Mean Antarctic temperature has actually fallen
throughout the past half-century. In some Antarctic glens,
environmental damage has been caused by temperature decreases of up to
2 degrees Celsius. Antarctic sea-ice spread to a 30-year record extent
in late 2007.
ERROR 25
Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves "breaking up" Gore says half a dozen
ice shelves each “larger than Rhode Island” have broken up and
vanished from the Antarctic Peninsula recently, implicitly because of
“global warming.” Global warming is unlikely to have been the cause.
Gore does not explain that the ice shelves have melted before, as
studies of seabed sediments have shown. The Antarctic Peninsula
accounts for about 2% of the continent, in most of which the ice is
growing thicker. All the recently-melted shelves, added together,
amount to an area less than one-fifty-fifth the size of Texas.
ERROR 26
Larsen B Ice Shelf "broke up because of 'global warming'" Gore
focuses on the Larsen B ice shelf, saying that it completely
disappeared in 35 days. Yet there has been extensive ice-shelf break-
up throughout the past 10,000 years, and the maximum ice-shelf extent
may have been in the Little Ice Age in the late 15th century.
ERROR 27
Mosquitoes "climbing to higher altitudes" Gore says that, because of
“global warming”, mosquitoes are climbing to higher altitudes. They
are not. Most recent outbreaks have been at lower levels than those of
a century and more ago. He says that Nairobi was founded 1000 m above
sea level so as to be above the mosquito line. It was not. In the
period before anthropogenic warming could have had any significant
effect, there were ten malaria outbreaks in Nairobi, one of which
reached as far up as Eldoret, almost 3000 m above sea level. Malaria
is not a tropical disease. Mosquitoes do not need tropical
temperatures: they need no more than 15 degrees Celsius to breed. The
largest malaria outbreak of modern times was in Siberia in the 1920s
and 1930s, when 13 million were infected, 600,000 died and 30,000 died
as far north as Arkhangelsk, on the Arctic Circle. There is no reason
to suppose that malaria will spread even if the climate continues to
become warmer.
ERROR 28
Many tropical diseases "spread through 'global warming'" Gore says
that, as well as malaria, “global warming” is spreading dengue fever,
Lyme disease, West Nile virus, arena virus, avian flu, Ebola virus, E.
Coli 0157:H7, Hanta virus, legionella, leptospirosis, multi-drug-
resistant TB, Nipah virus, SARS and Vibrio Cholerae 0139. It is doing
no such thing. Only the first four diseases are insect-borne, but none
is tropical. Of the other diseases named by Gore either in his film or

West Nile virus in the US "spread through 'global warming'" Gore says
that West Nile virus spread throughout the US in just two years,
implicitly because of “global warming.” It did not. The climate in the
US ranges from some of the world’s hottest deserts to some of its
iciest tundra. West Nile virus flourishes in any climate. Warming of
the climate, however caused, does not affect its incidence or
prevalence.

The European heat wave of 2003 "killed 35,000" Gore says, “A couple of
years ago in Europe they had that heat wave that killed 35,000.”
Though some scientists agree with Gore, the scientific consensus is
that extreme warm anomalies more unusual than the 2003 heat wave occur
regularly; extreme cold anomalies also occur regularly; El Niño and
volcanism appear to be of much greater importance than any general
warming trend; and there is little evidence that regional heat or cold
waves are significantly increasing or decreasing with time. In
general, warm is better than cold, which is why the largest number of
life-forms are in the tropics and the least number are at the poles. A
cold snap in the winter following the European heat wave killed 20,000
in the UK alone. Though the IPCC says 150,000 people a year are being
killed worldwide by “global warming,” it reaches this figure only by
deliberately excluding the number of people who are not being killed
because there is less cold weather. In the US alone, it has been
estimated that 174,000 fewer people are being killed each year because
there are fewer episodes of extreme cold.
ERROR 32
Pied flycatchers "cannot feed their young" Gore says “The peak arrival
date for migratory birds 25 years ago was April 25. Their chicks
hatched on June 3, just at the time when the caterpillars were coming
out: Nature’s plan. But 20 years of warming later the caterpillars
peaked two weeks earlier. The chicks tried to catch up with it, but
they couldn’t. So they are in trouble.” Yet adaptation is easy for the
flycatchers: they merely fly a few tens of kilometers further north
and they will find caterpillars hatching at the appropriate time.
Besides, though Gore does not say so, what is bad news for the pied
flycatchers is good news for the caterpillars, and for the butterflies
they will become.
ERROR 33
Gore's bogus pictures and film footage In the book accompanying Gore’s
film, the story of the pied flycatchers and the caterpillars is
accompanied by a picture of a bird feeding her hungry chicks. However,
closer inspection shows that the bird is not a pied flycatcher but a
black tern; and that she is not carrying a caterpillar in her beak,
but a small fish. Gore similarly misuses spectacular footage of a
glacier apparently calving off enormous slabs of ice into the sea –
footage that is often shown on television to accompany stories about
“global warming.” However, the glacier in question is one that is
known to be advancing – and to be doing so more rapidly and more often
than previously. It is in southern Argentina, where its snout crosses
– and eventually dams, Lake Argentino. Water builds up behind the ice
dam and eventually bursts it, causing the spectacular collapse of ice
into the lake that is so misleadingly used as the iconic image of the
effect of “global warming” on glaciers. The breaking of the ice dam
used to occur every eight years or so: now, however, it occurs every
five years, not because of “global warming” because of the regional
cooling of the southern Atlantic.
ERROR 34
The Thames Barrier "closing more frequently" Gore says that rising sea
levels are compelling the operators of the Thames Barrier to close it
more frequently than when it was first built. They are not. The
barrier is indeed closed more frequently than when it was built, but
the reason has nothing to do with “global warming” or rising sea
levels. The reason is a change of policy by which the barrier is
closed during exceptionally low tides, so as to retain water in the
tidal Thames rather than keeping it out. Yet even the present leader
of the official Opposition in the UK Parliament recently used a major
speech as the opportunity to mention today’s more frequent closing of
the Thames Barrier as though it were a matter of grave concern.
ERROR 35
"No fact...in dispute by anybody." Gore says that his prediction that
the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide will rise to more than
600 parts per million by volume as soon as 2050 is “not controversial
in any way or in dispute by anybody.” However, not one of the half-
dozen official projections of growth in CO2 concentration made by the
IPCC shows as much as 600 parts per million by 2050.

Evidence is presented that the apparent decrease in strong-to-violent

inconsistent with the radiosonde record. Abrupt changes in the bias of the
reconstruction, that is, the ratio of the number of tornado soundings

storm classification procedures that occurred during the 1970s and the early

Weather-Related Insurance Losses Doubled in '07
30 Dec 07
Losses to insurers from natural disasters nearly doubled this year to just
below $30 billion globally after an unusually quiet 2006, a leading
reinsurer said, from winter storms in Europe, flooding in Britain and
wildfires in the U.S.

Mumbai did flood.
The Maharashtra floods of 2005 refers to the flooding of many parts of the
Indian state of Maharashtra including large areas of the metropolis Mumbai,
a city located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, on the western coast of
India, in which at least 1,000 people died. It occurred just one month after
similar flooding in Gujarat.
The floods were caused by the eighth heaviest ever recorded 24-hour rainfall
figure of 944 mm (37.2 inches) which lashed the metropolis on 26 July 2005,
and intermittently continued for the next day. 644 mm (25.4 inches) was
received within the 12-hr period between 8am and 8pm. Torrential rainfall
continued for the next week.

Reconstructing the frequency of tornado occurrence in the central United
States
Matthew J. Menne, NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC, Asheville, NC
Evidence is presented that the apparent decrease in strong-to-violent
tornado frequency since 1950 implied by the official storm archive is
inconsistent with the radiosonde record. Abrupt changes in the bias of the
reconstruction, that is, the ratio of the number of tornado soundings
predicted to the number observed, are shown to be coincident with changes in
storm classification procedures that occurred during the 1970s and the early
1990s. Rather than a decrease in frequency since the 1950s, the
reconstruction suggests that supercell tornado frequency has been reasonably
stationary until the 1990s when some increase in frequency is suggested.

March the warmest on record over world land surfaces By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID,
AP
Science Writer - April 17, 2998
WASHINGTON - Planet Earth continues to run a fever. Last month was the
warmest
March on record over land surfaces of the world and the second warmest
overall
worldwide. For the United States, however, it was just an average March, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Thursday.
NOAA's National Climatic Data Center said high temperatures over much of
Asia
pulled the worldwide land temperature up to an average of 40.8 degrees
Fahrenheit (4.9 degrees Celsius), 3.2 degrees (1.8 C) warmer than the
average in
the 20th century.
While Asia had its greatest January snow cover this year, warm March
readings
caused a rapid melt and March snow cover on the continent was a record low.
Global ocean temperatures were the 13th warmest on record, with a weakening
of
the La Nina conditions that cool the tropical Pacific Ocean.
Overall land and sea surface temperatures for the world were second highest
in
129 years of record keeping, trailing only 2002, the agency said.
Warming conditions in recent decades have continued to raise concern about
global climate change, which many weather and climate experts believe is
related
to gases released into the atmosphere by industrial and transportation
processes.
The climate center said that for the 48 contiguous United States it was
about
average, ranking as the 63rd warmest March in 113 years of record keeping.
The average temperature for the U.S. in March was 42 degrees, 0.4 degrees
below
the 20th century mean.
The agency said only Rhode Island, New Mexico and Arizona were warmer than
average, while near-average temperatures occurred in 39 other states. The
monthly temperature for Alaska was the 17th warmest on record.
The snow pack declined in many parts of the West in March, but the Western
snow
pack remains the best in more than a decade thanks to heavy snowfall
December
through February.
For the month, nine states from Oklahoma to Vermont were much wetter than
average, with Missouri experiencing its second wettest March on record.
Moderate to extreme drought remains in much of the Southeast despite
rainfall in
the middle of the month.

A Drought in Australia, a Global Shortage of Rice - New York Times
April 17, 2008
The Food Chain
A Drought in Australia, a Global Shortage of Rice
By KEITH BRADSHER
DENILIQUIN, Australia - Lindsay Renwick, the mayor of this dusty southern
Australian town, remembers the constant whir of the rice mill. "It was our
little heartbeat out there, tickety-tick-tickety," he said, imitating the
giant
fans that dried the rice, "and now it has stopped."
The Deniliquin mill, the largest rice mill in the Southern Hemisphere, once
processed enough grain to meet the needs of 20 million people around the
world.
But six long years of drought have taken a toll, reducing Australia's rice
crop
by 98 percent and leading to the mothballing of the mill last December.
Ten thousand miles separate the mill's hushed rows of oversized silos and
sheds
- beige, gray and now empty - from the riotous streets of Port-au-Prince,
Haiti,
but a widening global crisis unites them.
The collapse of Australia's rice production is one of several factors
contributing to a doubling of rice prices in the last three months -
increases
that have led the world's largest exporters to restrict exports severely,
spurred panicked hoarding in Hong Kong and the Philippines, and set off
violent
protests in countries including Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Haiti, Indonesia,
Italy, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, the Philippines, Thailand, Uzbekistan and
Yemen.
Drought affects every agricultural industry based here, not just rice - from
sheepherding, the other mainstay in this dusty land, to the cultivation of
wine
grapes, the fastest-growing crop here, with that expansion often coming at
the
expense of rice.
The drought's effect on rice has produced the greatest impact on the rest of
the
world, so far. It is one factor contributing to skyrocketing prices, and
many
scientists believe it is among the earliest signs that a warming planet is
starting to affect food production.

Climate Models Match Well With Current Observations
Posted April 15, 2008
More than a dozen centers around the world develop climate models to
enhance
our understanding of climate change and serve as the basis for policy
decisions.
But just how good are those models, and can they truly be relied upon? A new
study by meteorologists at the University of Utah shows that current climate
models are quite accurate and can be valuable tools for those seeking
solutions
to global warming trends.
This coupled climate model of Earth uses of data from the NCAR Community
Climate
Model, the Los Alamos National Laboratory Parallel Ocean Program, and the
Naval
Postgraduate School sea-ice model.
"Coupled models are becoming increasingly reliable tools for understanding
climate and climate change, and the best models are now capable of
simulating
present-day climate with accuracy approaching conventional atmospheric
observations," said Thomas Reichler of Utah's Department of Meteorology. "We
can
now place a much higher level of confidence in model-based projections of
climate change than in the past."
Reichler and his colleague Junsu Kim compared the output of about 50
different
national and international models against real, observed present climate.
The
simulations were developed over the past two decades at major climate
research
centers in China, Russia, Australia, Canada, France, Korea, Great Britain,
Germany, and the United States and included those used for the 2007 report
of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Most of those models project a global warming trend that amounts to about 7
degrees Fahrenheit over the next 100 years.
Coupled climate models factor in several physical characteristics that
affect
climate, such dynamics of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, living
things,
sea ice, and energy from the Sun. Reichler and Kim chose 14 different
variables
to evaluate model performance, including atmospheric pressure at sea level,
air
temperature, wind, precipitation, snow cover and ocean salinity.
The most complex models are so elaborate they must be run on supercomputers.
A
commonly used model, known as the Community Climate System Model, is so
complex
it requires about 3 trillion computer calculations to simulate a single day
of
global climate. According to the researchers, improvements in modern-day
models
resulted from not only better computing power but more comprehensive data
collection and a more sophisticated understanding of climate processes.
Although model-based projections of future climate are now more credible
than
ever, the study was designed to see how well the models stack up to current
climate, which is reliably observed and recorded. The "underlying
assumption,"
the scientists say, is that a model that accurately describes present
climate
will make a better projection of the future. Still, they admit there too
many
unknowns involved in the evolution of future climate, such as how much
humans
will curb their greenhouse gas emissions.
The study, "How Well do Coupled Models Simulate Today's Climate?," was
published
April 4, 2008, in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
This research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the
National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
