The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate.
Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth. Of those with expertise in climate science: Asked if they regarded global warming as a very serious problem? Document Actions Send this. News Monika H. Reisman Dec 30, Ralph F. CO 2 emissions still rising But things are not going according to plan. In the last three months of we emitted more CO 2 than in the same period in The main culprits are transport, households, agriculture and industry.
Only the electricity sector made progress. External forces are now putting pressure on the Dutch government to act, with the NGO Urgenda suing the government , to force it to take adequate measures to reduce emissions and protect the Dutch people from the impact of climate change.
The sad news is that, at a global level, CO 2 emissions rose by 1. If we want to limit global warming, we need to reduce our energy use and switch to using clean renewable energy from the sun, wind and water. For personal and heavy transport, heating and cooling of our houses, we need to change to electricity.
The only way to mitigate the impact of climate change is for all sectors of society, including industry, transport and the public, to make drastic changes. According to the United Nations , 1 trillion US dollars a year is needed in clean energy investments and climate adaptation.
The panel was founded under a UN resolution, which provides fuel for conspiracy theorists but offers proof of its bona fides for other people. Scientists know the Earth has long alternated between ice ages and periods of warming -- about one ice age every , years over the past million years. Is the current heating just another stage in this cycle? No -- the speed, relative abruptness and global extent of the heating over the past 50 years make it different this time.
This is based on several forms of data: palaeological analysis of sediment, ice and tree rings for the period before the Industrial Revolution, and recorded temperatures since As evidence of unusual warming has become incontrovertible, some sceptics concede it is happening but deny it is caused by the carbon emissions from humans burning fossil fuels.
The IPCC developed a climate model that measures the impact of different factors. Of course it only takes a few days for a lake to freeze, and even fewer to thaw.
The changes in the last 40 years are too big, and too fast. In fact, the most powerful cycles we know about are slowly pushing us towards a colder climate.
Did you check to see how hot it was in Asia at the same time? We need to look globally and for longer than the last couple years we remember. Above all, simply look at the annual average of worldwide land surface temperature. From to it has steadily increased, Dutch oil paintings or not. Ok, for a start, stop using Jurassic Park quotes as the basis of your science. The fact is that the rate of climate change is putting huge ecological stress on our environments.
