Long story short, nothing about the pause changes the basic nature of the climate problem. We are still on a course for up to 6 degrees Celsius warming <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/8364926.stm>, which will lead to multiple simultaneous humanitarian disasters<http://natgeotv.com/ca/six_degrees/about>. Climate scientists, unlike conservative pundits, are still extremely worried<http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/climate-science-tells-us-the-alarm-bells-are-ringing/2013/06/07/ca81cb84-cef6-11e2-8845-d970ccb04497_story.html>. Agencies like the International Energy Agency<http://www.rtcc.org/iea-world-heading-for-3-6c-of-warming/> and the World Bank<http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/06/17862361/turn-down-heat-climate-extremes-regional-impacts-case-resilience-full-report> are panicking, running around waving their arms with their hair on fire. Its all as dire as ever.
Lol. Yes, places are still going to be fricking covered by the ocean. The sea level has already risen, or are the GOP going to argue against that as well? ;-D I think the article is spot on regarding the crazies that we see in the media from the republicans. At least at some level they know that those positions embarrass the rest of the party. It would seem, however, that those in charge of the party , if they do not also share these crazy notions, believe that the "crazy" base outnumbers or outvotes the moderate Republicans. I still think that party is responsible for the lack of leadership we see from the US on climate change ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:365088 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
