For some time now, the ongoing rise in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration has been claimed to be raising havoc - or just about to be doing so - with earth's calcifying marine organisms by lowering the calcium carbonate saturation state of seawater, which phenomenon has been predicted to greatly hamper the abilities of these creatures to produce their calcium carbonate skeletons (Orr et al., 2005). In the companion category of Calcification (Corals) in our Subject Index, we discuss this subject as it applies to earth's many species of coral. Here, we describe the results of studies of other calcifying marine organisms that have explored this same phenomenon. |

One of the especially nasty predictions of climate alarmists is that global
warming will lead to the extinctions of hordes of species of plants and
animals, among which is the ubiquitous butterfly. For an in-depth discussion of
this subject, see our major report The Specter of Species Extinction: Will Global Warming Decimate Earth's
Biosphere. For a synopsis of one of the newer studies in the
field, read on.

In support of the IPCC conclusion that current warming is anthropogenic, Wm. Collins et al. (“The physical science behind climate change,” SciAm August 2007, pp.64-73) assert that the mismatch between surface and troposphere warming trends has now been resolved. However, this claim is not supported by actual observations.

Warren Meyer, one of the first
surfacestations.org volunteers, delivered Tucson
for us Saturday. It was discovered during an analysis of climate stations
around the USA on the Climate Audit blog that Tucson had the greatest
positive temperature trend for any USHCN station after the TOBS adjustment was
applied. The TOBS adjustment corrects for differences in local times of
observation of temperature by the observer.

As Al Gore continues his
global warming crusade, he apparently is finding it necessary to invent scarier
and scarier scenarios (no doubt to keep the press and his audience interested)
and in doing so, does not feel limited to reality.
For instance, Al Gore’s
latest theme is that anthropogenically-induced climate change will threaten the
very existence of the human species. Wow. What can be more frightful than
that!? (Maybe Gore is going after his next Academy Award in the horror category).

There is nothing
particularly unusual about current weather and climate change – it is
generally well within long-term normal patterns. However, the public believes
otherwise due to a combination of the way in which people have been taught to
view nature, political exploitation of science and the hidden motives of
environmental extremists. How did this happen and where are we
headed if climate change hysteria continues unchecked?

Besides being darned good
forecasters, the good people at the National
Hurricane Center
are also paragons of social sensitivity. They give storms names reflective of
the cultures through which they are likely to pass. Hurricanes in the Atlantic
basin are given anglicized names or ones that are roughly similar in both
English and Spanish: Alberto, Bob, Gloria. In the Eastern Pacific, where storms
frequently hit western Mexico,
almost all the names are pure Spanish.

On the very day before the British documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle is to hit Aussie TV screens, the Royal Society has published the work of 2 scientists who claim to have disproved its core position - that the actions of the sun, not humans, cause global warming. And, unlike the countless studies which support solar forcing theories, this one you most definitely WILL be hearing about from the mainstream media. |
