I mentioned global warming to a 25 year Connecticut resident today. He nearly bit my head off. Global warming and the early spring  is forcing him to migrate to Florida.

At the roof of the (Yellowstone) ecosystem, whitebark pine trees are dying in stunning numbers. As my colleagues and I have previously explained, due to warmer winter temperatures

From eroding coastline to depleted fish stocks, the effects of climate change are being felt along West Africa’s coast and governments and environmental groups are coming together to talk about what can be done to mitigate its impact.

The ocean breaking on southern Senegal’s coastline does not look much different from any other beach. But a closer a look at the Palmarin peninsula, reveals a different story, uprooted palm trees mark eroded coastlines and vestiges of buildings mark where a village was washed away two decades ago.

An island visible from the tip of Palmarin used to be connected to the peninsula, but rising waters and a tidal wave in 1987 separated the two with the gap getting wider and deeper with each year, according to local residents.

Sea level isn’t actually rising. Just send money and shut up.

Antarctica melting. Waxman is a heavyweight. Global Warming is like gravity. Deniers cause cancer.

The scientific champions were equally vehement. One Democrat equated the bill to an attempt to repeal gravity, while another hauled a tower of published climate investigations to the meeting and argued that if Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Einstein were testifying, Republicans would still not accept the science until Antarctica had melted.

Californian heavyweight Henry Waxman called Republicans a ”party of science deniers” and declared that they ”can’t cure cancer by passing a bill that declares smoking safe. And they can’t stop climate change by declaring it a hoax.”

Babs warned us about this :

“Global warming can have a profound and negative impact on our outdoor recreation opportunities and businesses,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D, Calif.). “We are already seeing decreases in the amount of snowpack in certain western areas of the United States. These decreases in snowpack and in the length of the snow season can directly impact activities like skiing and snowmobiling, which are key aspects of outdoor winter recreation.”

“It is up to us to face this challenge squarely and to act immediately to avert the worst effects of global warming,” Boxer concluded.
