Al Gore Speaks on Global Warming and the Environment Beacon Theater, New York January 15, 2004, Noon Thank you, Carol, Joan and Peter. And thanks to all of you for coming here today. I want to say a special word about Joan Blades, who traveled from California for this event and who, along with her husband, Wes Boyd, co-founded Moveon.org. She has been from the beginning a moving force behind the emergence of this dynamic new grassroots movement in American politics and public policy. I have made a series of speeches about the policies of the Bush / Cheney Administration towards the major challenges that confront our nation: national security, economic policy, civil liberties, and today: the environment. In essence, these scientists are telling the people of every nation that global warming caused by human activities is becoming a serious threat to our common future. I am also troubled that the Bush/Cheney Administration does not seem to hear the warnings of the scientific community in the same way that most of us do. Here is what we are talking about: PICTURES 1 THROUGH 8 PICTURES 9 THROUGH 12 PICTURES 13 THROUGH 65 So the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

Joint Letter to DOE on Transferable Credits The Department of Energy's decision to drop early credits from its proposed rule to revise the voluntary reporting of greenhouse gases program was a policy breakthrough as significant as the Senate's defeat of the McCain-Lieberman bill and EPA's disavowal of authority to regulate carbon dioxide. In this comment to DOE, CEI and ten other pro-market groups explain why DOE made the right decision and should resist lobbying pressures to reinstate Kyoto credits. Virtually Extinct Despite wide media coverage, a study claiming that over a million species are doomed to extinction by 2050 is based on shaky, unscientific evidence.

GLOBAL WARMING Introduction Global Warming is perhaps the most significant environmental problem facing the world today. Greenhouse gas levels are increasing in the atmosphere because of human activities, and are changing the composition of the atmosphere and warming the earth. Climate scientists agree that human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels contribute to the problem. Scientists have predicted the phenomemon of global warming for decades. Unfortunately, some of the adverse impacts (link to impacts page) from global warming that they also predicted are starting to occur around the world, including: Increasing incidence of droughts in some areas, flooding in others; Rising ocean temperatures and sea levels; Increased severe weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes; Melting of glaciers and reduction in mountain snow cover; Dying coral reefs; and Coastal erosion, and the loss of coastal ecosystems. While a handful of skeptics continue to debate the science, the world's scientists agree: the science is in. Global warming is happening. What the scientists say: The international Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

154. Global Change /Climate Change NASA Facts. global warming. Global Change/Climate Change. The prediction of climate change due to human activities began with a prediction http://www.maui.net/~jstark/nasa.html

NASA Facts Global Warming Global Change/Climate Change The prediction of climate change due to human activities began with a prediction made by the Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius, in 1896. Arrhenius took note of the industrial revolution then getting underway and realized that the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere was increasing. Moreover, he believed carbon dioxide concentrations would continue to increase as the world's consumption of fossil fuels, particularly coal, increased ever more rapidly. His understanding of the role of carbon dioxide in heating Earth, even at that early date, led him to predict that if atmospheric carbon dioxide doubled, Earth would become several degrees warmer. However, little attention was paid to what must have been seen to be a rather far-out prediction that had no apparent consequence for people living at that time. (Click here for full image) Caption: A simplified diagram illustrating the greenhouse effect Nearly 100 years after the Arrhenius prediction, we are now aware that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing, with the likelihood that it will double by the middle of the next century from the levels at the time of Arrhenius. Post-World War II industrialization has caused a dramatic jump in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As the prospect of considerable change in the atmosphere becomes more real and threatening, new computer models are being applied to the problem. These models take into account the natural processes that must be part of the whole picture to understand what could happen to Earth's climate as carbon dioxide increases. An important aspect of the newer models is their treatment of the "amplifier" or feedback effect, in which further changes in the atmosphere occur in response to the warming initiated by the change in carbon dioxide.

Please consider these materials carefully. The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds. This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful. The proposed agreement would have very negative effects upon the technology of nations throughout the world, especially those that are currently attempting to lift from poverty and provide opportunities to the over 4 billion people in technologically underdeveloped countries.

156. Beakman & Jax - Global Warming global warming. Question What does cutting down trees have to do with saving the ozone layer global warming. WHAT YOU NEED 2 empty jars water. http://www.beakman.com/beakman/warm/warm.html

Global Warming Question: What does cutting down trees have to do with saving the ozone layer Answer: Not much at all! Except that both are happening on Earth and both seem to have been created by humans, there is nothing that cutting down trees has to do with the ozone layer. The media - like newspapers and stupid jokes on TV - explained it very, very badly. They make it seem as though the two things are connected. But they are not! Tell as many people as You Can. Tell them they've got it all wrong! Read this and then explain it to them. Again, the ozone layer and global warming are 2 separate things. They are caused by 2 separate things humans do to the planet. They are not related. Each one is a very big problem. We can't solve either one of them until we can all understand what's going on. So read this and then start talking about it to whoever will listen. Global Warming WHAT YOU NEED: 2 empty jars - water WHAT TO DO: Put a teaspoon of water in each jar. Put the lid on just 1 jar. Lay both in a sunny spot. In several hours, take a look at the jars. The open jar will be pretty much the same. The closed jar will be steamy and hot inside. The heat from the sun could not escape. SO WHAT: When we burn oil, coal or wood, we release carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the air.

Global Warming: A Chilling Perspective A Brief History of Ice Ages and Warming Causes of Global Climate Change Playing with Numbers A Matter of Opinion Unraveling the Earth's Temperature Record Stopping Climate Change A Brief History of Ice Ages and Warming G lobal warming started long before the "Industrial Revolution" and the invention of the internal combustion engine. Global warming began 18,000 years ago as the earth started warming it's way out of the Pleistocene Ice Age a time when much of North America, Europe, and Asia lay buried beneath great sheets of glacial ice. Earth's climate and the biosphere have been in constant flux, dominated by ice ages and glaciers for the past several million years. We are currently enjoying a temporary reprieve from the deep freeze. Approximately every 100,000 years Earth's climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods, called interglacial periods , appear to last approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18,000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is much nearer it's end than it's beginning. Global warming during Earth's current interglacial warm period has greatly altered our environment and the distribution and diversity of all life. For example:

"America and the world share this common goal, we must foster economic growth in ways that protect our environment," Bush said at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. "We must encourage growth that will provide a better life for citizens, while protecting the land, the water, the air that sustain life." But some Democrats, including former Vice President Al Gore, and environmental groups greeted the plan with criticism, noting that it was voluntary in nature.
