For demonstrator Favianna Rodriguez, climate change is inextricable from social issues like feminism and immigration policy. To protest a “culture of hypersexuality,” she marched topless, with yellow butterfly stickers over each nipple.

Rodriguez works with CultureStrike, an organization that supports the arts movement around immigration, but she helped design signs for the Climate March because she says climate change is an example of social inequality.

“The destruction we’re facing has been wrought under male leadership, and women and children are disproportionately affected,” she said. “Addressing climate change is going to require a very strong shift in leadership, and require us to include the vision of women and youth.”

“Carbon pollution directly results in asthma, heart disease, and cancer,” said Dr. Steve Auerbach, a New York pediatrician who also marched in his lab coat.

Davidson and 60 of his classmates drove 26 hours up from New Orleans to attend the March, and after it’s over, they’ll hop right back on the road and drive 26 hours again in order to make it to class on Tuesday.

The only year Trenberth sees is 2012, because his funding depends on not correctly interpreting the climate.

The UN begins their meeting tomorrow in New York to stop global warming, with temperatures forecast to be 26 degrees cooler than they were on the same date in 1895, 95 degrees vs. a forecast 69 for tomorrow.

Peak September 20 temperatures in New York have dropped about 5 degrees over the past 75 years. New York was much warmer this time of year – back when the UN was founded.

The UN could end global warming, by simply demanding that government agencies stop tampering with data to cool the past.

On September 17, 2012 the extent of 30% concentration ice in the Arctic was 2.49 million km², and this year it was 4.09 km² on September 17. An increase of 64%. The past two years have been among the four highest of the past decade.

It has been more than six years since a hurricane hit Texas, but in 1884 Texas was hit by four hurricanes. The frequency of hurricane strikes in Texas has dropped by more than 50% since the 1880’s. No doubt insurance companies have reduced premiums to compensate.

The world’s top expert says Greenland ice is getting dark and is going to kill us all

The world’s leading expert on the ice that covers the huge expanse of Greenland has told The Independent that he was “stunned” to see how much darker it has become in the past year – warning it could start a hugely damaging “cascading feedback loop” of the area becoming blacker as less and less light is reflected.
