I always say that mantra number two for a climate advocate is “Yeah, we have to do that too.” As in, “We need to be more efficient AND we need to build wind farms AND we need to build transmission lines to support the wind farms AND we need to build sidewalks and transit so people can drive less, etc . . . “ You get the point.
And mantra number one is: “The scary part is . . .” because every time you think you have seen it all, something worse and new comes along.
The latest comes to us from the National Center for Atmospheric Research:
Arctic temperatures in the 1990s reached their warmest level of any decade in at least 2,000 years, new research indicates. The study, which incorporates geologic records and computer simulations, provides new evidence that the Arctic would be cooling if not for greenhouse gas emissions that are overpowering natural climate patterns.
Excellent discussion of this at Joe Romm’s Climate Progress blog. And here is the NY Times article.
Will this motivate you to take action?

Um, The climate has always been changing. Global warming is just a natural process. We just accelerated it slighty. If the world decide’s it is time to cleanse itself. I beleave it’s a good thing. Human race is a cancer eating away at the world. So it’s time for us to move on and die.

You are right. I find myself thinking about solving this problem. I will write an angry letter. To the president about his convoy’s. I think he should just use the local transportation like a bus. Jim your a damn good man. I’m glad somone care’s about the planet like me. Somday i will meet and we eat some dune bug’s together.
