Global warming will bring harsher storms and higher sea levels. “Sea-level rise and the likely increase in hurricane intensity and associated storm surge will be among the most serious consequences of climate change,” the plan said. “Under the high GHG emission scenario, annual precipitation is projected to increase to about five inches, or about a 40% increase in annual precipitation from 2000 to 2100.”

Radiation from the Sun can burn you, damage your skin and cause cancer.
Texas A&M atmospheric sciences plans to travel to the sun (at night) to study how sunspots affect the climate.
I want to live in a radiation and CO2 free world.
Radon problem especially acute in Colorado
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, naturally-occurring radioactive gas. It is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. While it is found in all 50 states, it is especially problematic in Colorado, where 53 of 64 counties report high levels of the gas.
It’s not an immediate threat to life, the way carbon
monoxidedioxide is, but long-term exposure is blamed for 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year, including 500 in Colorado. State health officials estimate that fully half of the homes in Colorado have radon levels in excess of the level the Environmental Protection Agency considers unsafe.

Cook explains that the correlation between tree rings and thermometers is not reliable, so Mann should selectively throw out the data for any years which don’t support the hypothesis he is determined to prove.
What does “hide the decline” refer to?
Phil Jones’ email is often cited as evidence of an attempt to “hide the decline in global temperatures”. This is incorrect. The decline actually refers to a decline in tree-ring density at certain high-latitude locations since 1960. However, Muller doesn’t make this error – he clearly understands that global temperatures have been rising in recent decades as indicated by the instrumental record.
Tree-ring growth has been found to match well with temperature, and hence tree-ring width and density is used to plot temperature going back hundreds of years. However, tree-rings in some high-latitude locations diverge from modern instrumental temperature records after 1960. This is known as the “divergence problem”. Consequently, tree-ring data in these high-latitude locations are not considered reliable after 1960 and should not be used to represent temperature in recent decades.
