Here’s MSNBC’s report. It emphasizes the pending water woes of the nation. It points out the need for water to produce energy, citing hydro and nuclear plants. They overlook the immense water needs of ethanol plants plus the water used to grow the crops in the first place.
One co-author of the report says humans still have time to act..or not.
Here’s a British press report, written to preview today’s NOAA report.
NON-BELIEVERS
Expect doubt of global warming to be upheld by Senator Imhofe. Well, maybe it is warmer but it isn’t our fault, so what’s the worry? And there are organizations dedicated still to debunking global warming as alarism. Like the Heartland Institute which is working hard to expose all the falsehood in global warming research.
They seem to be losing the battle for the public’s opinion, recent surveys show about 3/4 of American adults believe the government should deal with global warming. Could it be people have noticed the demolition of New Orleans by weather, the droughts in California and southeast, the death of cross-country skiing in Minnesota, the flooding of Cedar Rapids and a host of other weather “extremes?”

Just In
Storms, like Katrina, are not caused by Global warming. They are caused by natural fluctuations in both the ocean temps (la nina) and atmospheric conditions. That is why the entire Global Warming cabal decided to change the tag line from Global Warming to Climate change. Let's face it, who can argue with a term like Climate Change. Are you denying the Climate Changes? It changes every 15 minutes up here.
Have fun.
Do you not see the contradiction in your second paragraph? Ocean temps are climbing thus storms become more extreme.
Where is your data on the average temps?

And here's one that tries to dispute it:

The first speaks pretty well for itself but the second tries to disprove the plateau and dropping trend by throwing out data to mask the plateau. Not Kosher in my book.
Either way you look at it, it's cold now, it's colder than it was, and the Sun is at a historic low period for sunspots. I'll try to find a link to that one for you.
Have fun and bundle up.
