There is so much important news not making Main Stream Media MSM-infotainment:
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150617/1023454191.html#ixzz3dGcImiJI From 1974 up till at least 2003 the UK government worked with protestant militant groups in (Northern) Ireland killing hundreds of catholics. (Margeret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan (contra's in Nicaragua, Renamo in Mozambique, muslim extremists in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union) and Pinochet (killing tens of thousands civilians, not only socialists but also cristian democrats in Chili) were all members of a anti-communist political club.)
Zero hedge has more on the "growing tensions" between NATO and Russia. Robert Scribbler has much more on the climate chaos. (First you had climate change, we are now in climate chaos, with snow in Hawaii, Wales in June ! Above 20 C in Greenland ! Extreme, killing heat in several places. Next is climate collapse-extreme 9and hot) storms with extreme amounts of rain, colder than average gone-everywere it will be hot and humid, increased sharply land-ice melt giving strong sealevelrise. )
There is a large crisis in politics and economy both in the US and EU. I think the UK will vote for a brexit-the UK out of (this) EU. Here in the Netherlands we already have a Nexit-campain. I do not want an ever growing EU moving east without the possibility that citizens can have a word in that. The foundation of the Euro turns out to be not very solid. I am in favor of international cooperation but this EU is not in the interest of the average citizen. Both the EU and US are controlled by big companies, the 0,1% only getting richer.

ooops turns out the dirt bag Koch brothers gave at least 88 MILLION to climate change deniers Koch Industries: Secretly Funding the Climate Denial Machinehttp://www.greenpeace.org/usa/global-warming/climate-deniers/koch-industries/
"The Koch Brothers have sent at least $88,796,770 directly to 79 groups denying climate change science since 1997."
and this is just the $$$ we know about undoubtedly its much more

Speaking of gloom and doom, why are federal agencies not involved in law enforcement stocking up on weapons, ammunition etc.?
I work within the realm of US federal law enforcement, and I have no idea WTF is going on with these agencies!!
Are they secretly planning for a collapse of government in the event of pandemic/EMP event? That could be one explanation I suppose.

The jetstream is now going-sometimes-all the way from the Arctic to the Antarctic-bringing very unreliable seasons, superstorms, bad harvests. We are moving from climate chaos towards climate-collapse.

Is it possible that Robert Scribbler and Paul Beckwith made a wrong interpretation from the null-school data ?
Earlier there were claims of methane-release as precursor for earthquakes-with satellite measurements-that was incorrectly interpreted.
Still there is a climatecrisese unfolding. Maybe a more correct interpretation of the nullschool jetstream data is that crossing the equator by the jetstream due to arctic melting has become easier and more frequent ?

From the dailykos-story: (When you make a mistake yoy better admit it, tell what went wrong and try to improve it to get credebility back).
If robertscribbler and Paul Beckwith had paid attention to high level wind flow patterns near the extraordinary number of tropical storms in the Pacific in 2015 they would have seen many examples of high level winds crossing the equator. I am writing this post to show that “our side” has the integrity to correct our mistakes and admit our errors. I am also writing this as a warning to readers of Dailykos to make sure that your sources have expertise and demonstrated credibility in the subjects they cover. Even experts can make mistakes but this is what happens when non-scientists try to write about complex problems that they don’t understand.

El Nino did stop, so in the tropics-locally-temperatures could go down while global temperatures keep rising. From their short article: In the tropics, there was a record fast 2-month cooling of -0.56 deg. C, just edging out -0.55 deg. C in June 1998 (also an El Nino weakening year). The rapid cooling is from the weakening El Nino and approaching La Nina conditions by mid-summer or early fall.

The "mega-gloom & doom" in my opinion:
If VT is correct in this SW Asia since 2003 has seen several small nuclear weapons being used. The danger in small nuclear weapons for battlefield use is that it may be hard to see the difference with large conventional weapons (and depleted uranium). As the article states, only measurements in the area were the explosion has been could provide proof.
If I get it correct global warming so far is 1,5/2 degrees celsius above the 1880 baseline-but warming goes that fast with feed-backs (melting permafrost, melting ice etc) that within a decade warming could be 10 degrees celsius. Looking at all the extreme weather events we now can see around the globe time will show how correct this idea is.
Normally I take a look at all the terrible news between 6 and 7 in the morning so I can enjoy the rest of the day being happy that things still-here and now-going quite well. Live now.

Dutch Josh, I think that you are a government troll sent here to push their climate change agenda. Climate change is cyclical.
"If I get it correct global warming so far is 1,5/2 degrees celsius above the 1880 baseline..." 1880? REALLY!
Perhaps the earth would start to cool if you quit talking.

Guest, please keep it polite. The thing people like on ATF is that there is respect for each forum member-difference in opinion is a basis for discussion. This is not a scientific forum I do not claim to be a 100% correct. On climate change I rather would be proven to be totally wrong.
When I google for "global temperature change" I get this:
Yes, a lot of the data is provided by scientists paid with tax money. Would you like that safety of products only would be checked by the producers of that product or do you want an independent scientific (and therefor tax paid) body to look after consumer interests ?
In my opinion governments are there for all the people not just for the big companies. What is good for Shell, GM, GE, or Boeing may not be good for Mr/Mrs Average.
When you look at lead as an additiv for petrol, the history of Standard Oil, that was forced to break up by the government-yes governments should be able to control big companies.
That is also the role I see on enviromental issues for governments. Is that a problem.
(I do not work as a government troll-people on this forum are not stupid !)

http://neven1.typepad.com/blog/2016/07/2016-melting-momentum-part-3.html Sea-Surface-Temperature (SST) at the north pole is 0 c. (Salt) sea-ice melts at -2c (sweet water melts at 0 C) .
The comments under the post give an insight on how complex discussion on climate change is.
Sea-ice is in poor quality and at most places (in the Arctic) less than 2 m thick. Warm water from the Atlantic and Pacific-and from several rivers from Canada, Siberia etc. flowing into the Arctic speed up the melt. Also there is a trend of storms reaching-with warm air-the Arctic more often than previously.
Water reflects only 6% of the heat from the sun, ice reflects 90%. As long as there is ice in the water the temperature stays (near the ice) at 0 degrees. But the same amount of energy that melts ice is enough to lift water to 80 degrees C.
On top of that methane from the seabed and defrozen permafrost is retaining heat-pushing up temperatures. There is a difference between air with co2 at 250 ppm (parts per million) and close to 500 ppm in the way the contain heat.

From M.H. Hensel on facebook:
There is a hydroxyl layer between the troposphere and stratosphere. Hydroxyl is created by infrared in sunlight hitting moisture. Hydroxyl's break down methane. The hydroxyl layer is capable of breaking down about three and a half billions tons of carbon a year. A new estimate by the World Bank says 64 billion tons of carbon, much of it methane, is going into the atmosphere. The hydroxyl layer can't handle it. The methane rises above the clouds where there is little or no moisture. No hydroxyls here. So the methane is building up. Also, since hydroxyls are not working on breaking methane down it builds up and lasts a lot longer than the tradition wisdom of 10 to 12 years.

The new layer in the atmosphere resembles what has been happening in the oceans. For a long time it looked like oceans ware not warming up but deep layers in the ocean (and the surface) was warming up.
Global warming (in my opinion) is very complex with different effects on different layers.
As far as I can see the tendency is towards the abrupt climate change, sea/land ice melting, increase of CO(2) and methane release, more wildfires all kind of feed-back loops.
There may be some "counter balance" to correct the warming that science has not discovered ? Time may be running out for geo-engenering, getting co and methane out of the atmosphere.

anyone who thinks that humans are not responsible for climate change think on this,
300 years ago there was no cars ,planes ,powered boats on this planet,
the population of earth was 2 billion had been the same for thousands of years,
come 1850 industrial revolution,
now we have ......................
7.5 Billion souls on the planet, and we adding a Billion every 14 years approx, (it took 100 years to rise from 2 billion to 3 billion)
millions of cars pumping out carbon that has been stores underground for MILLIONS of years,
mining that blows up mountains ,releasing tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere,
millions of people flying all over the place,
the Earth is like a space ship on a journey ,its a closed atmosphere no way of resupplying it ,
we are now in the 14th month of record tempetures
WAKE UP........................

The basis of Greenland land ice is molten, meaning the up to 2 kilometers of ice on top of it is more likely to move when surrounding sea-ice is not slowing down glaciers. (Also earth/ice-quakes can push large portions of landice closer or into the ocean. This study also tells something about the 90% of ice in Antarctica.) http://climate.nasa.gov/news/2472/nasa-maps-thawed-areas-under-greenland-ice-sheet/
Warmer sea-surface temperatures mean more and stronger storms-the US will find out again what that means. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

And that is just about the weather...yellow fever mixes very well with flooding. China is getting more involved globally-wich means they will spread their diseases.
Ukraine is getting ready for more war now that Russia is kicking out IS and other "rebels". Several cyclones near Japan, increase risks of nuclear disaster.

In my opinion we are on the edge between climate chaos (with a lot of drought, flooding, storms etc-all "once in a 1000 year events"etc.) and climate collapse-due to many storms pushing into the Arctic creating massive methane release from defrozen permafrost, seafloor and seawater.
The problem with this is the timescale, when we see a chain-reaction things can start heating up very fast.
Another factor is the nuclear energy sector with several nuclear reactors in Japan and the US (for the moment there are the main problems) being vulnarable for extreme weather and a "faster than expected" sealevel-rise.
You will find out how "strong" something is when you put it to the "stress-test". And that "testing" is on its way right now. Sealevelrise will not go smoothley, but it will come by stormsurges and extreme rain-events.
Pandemics due to defrozen virusses and bacteria may not get enough time to develop, climate change could be speeding up to fast for that.

Opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830, the date scientists now believe emissions from the UK's industrial revolution began to warm the planet. Source: Wikimedia Commons By Karl Mathiesen On December 4, 1830, the Planet chugged out of Liverpool on its maiden trip to the great manufacturing centre of Manchester. Shovelled full of coal, the steam locomotive was hauling freight along the world’s first intercity rail route – a major advance in the industrialisation of the globe. It was around this moment, scientists have discovered, that our own planet began to go off the rails. Using 2,000 years of paleoclimate data – the earth’s historical temperature measured from natural sources such as the growth bands of corals and trees, ice cores and the amount of pollen trapped in sediment layers – a global team of researchers lead by Australian National University associate professor Nerilie Abram, have pinpointed the moment when the earth’s temperature began to rise because of human greenhouse gas emissions to between 1830 and 1850. Abram said the findings, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, were “extraordinary” and had implications for our understanding of the sensitivity of the globe to even tiny increases of carbon in the atmosphere. A scientist extracts coral cores at Rowley Shoals, west of Broome in Western Australia. Source: Eric Matson, Australian Institute of Marine Science Study co-author, Dr Helen McGregor, from the University of Wollongong said: “The early onset of warming detected in this study indicates the earth’s climate did respond in a rapid and measurable way to even the small increase in carbon emissions during the start of the industrial age.” Abrams said the increase in atmospheric carbon between the onset of warming and the end of the 1800s was “small”, around 15 parts per million. But even this raised the temperature by a few tenths of a degree. The increase since 1900 has been more than 100 parts per million. Paleoclimate temperature records were most famously analysed in the 1990s by US scientist Michael Mann to produce the “hockey stick” graph, which shocked the world with its dramatic depiction of the rapid recent rise in temperature after a millennia of relative stability. 400ppm: The milestone that puts Earth in the “danger zone”
But these natural almanacs have never so accurately calculated the beginning of human-induced warming. In a paleoclimatological first, Abram’s study incorporated not only land based sources like tree rings, but measured marine temperatures as well. The scientists found the land of the northern hemisphere and seas of the tropics began warming at roughly the same speed around 1830. “Seeing that parts of the oceans are a very responsive part of the climate system is a new and very interesting bit of information,” said Abram. Particularly because those oceans contain some of the most climate sensitive ecosystems, coral reefs. The southern hemisphere was around 50 years behind. This was likely the result of cooling currents in the huge southern oceans. < width="500" height="375" ="https://www.youtube.com//z5VC98yZCu0?feature=o" border="0" allowfullscreen="" style="-sizing: border-; : ; top: 0px; left: 0px; bottom: 0px; height: 382.5px; width: 680px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial;"> This regional variability also allowed Abram’s team to chart the different stages of “emergence” around the globe. That is the point at which the average temperature has increased so much that it exceeds even extreme natural fluctuations. “In the tropical oceans and the Arctic in particular, 180 years of warming has already caused the average climate to emerge above the range of variability that was normal in the centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution,” said Abram. The Antarctic, however, remains stubbornly un-warmed to this day. Because of the huge technological leaps and enormous new wealth that drove projects like the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, early industrial emissions were dominated by the United Kingdom. According to the World Resource Institute, by 1850 the furnaces of the British industrial revolution had belched 122.6 million tons of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This cumulative total was twice as much as the rest of the world combined had emitted to that point – most of it coming from Britain’s great rivals, France, the US and Germany. Today, Britain emits around 500 million tonnes every single year. < ="http://cait.wri.org/historical//Country%20GHG%20Emissions?indicator=Total%20CO2%20Emissions%20Excluding%20Land-Use%20Change%20and%20Forestry&year=1850&sortIdx=NaN&sortDir=desc&chart=geo&view=viz&=1" width="800" height="450" style="-sizing: border-;"> The findings shift our understanding of exactly what is normal, because instrumental records of the global temperature only reliably go back as far as 1880. Using that baseline, Nasa has determined that the first six months of 2016 were 1.3C warmer than normal. But Abram says the world had already warmed a few tenths of a degree by 1880, pushing the world beyond the 1.5C limit already. “That’s important for conversations that we are having at the moment about trying to limit warming to 1.5C. We are getting scarily close to that already, but that’s when we are talking about the baseline being in the 1880s-1900. So we don’t yet have the full picture,” she said.

Did you know that…As a result of the change in climate, more people are becoming aware of global warming, and there are a lot of hypotheses about the outcomes of global warming. One of the hypothesis’s that interests me is “a new ice age”. The movie “Day After Tomorrow (2004)”is a film based on the hypothesis that melting glaciers will shut down the Gulf Stream, which is the part of global conveyor belt. This could cool down the North Atlantic region and cause a new ice age. The global conveyor belt (also called, thermohaline circulation) is the movement of water in oceans all over the world. (The red and blue belt in the picture represents the global conveyor belt)
(Click the picture if you want to see the website where I got the information about the thermohaline circulation and new ice age) The amount of salt in water and ocean temperatures move this conveyor belt of water. As you can see in the picture, the conveyor allows the warm surface water to move towards the North Atlantic pole. This brings warmer temperatures to Europe. (It allows Britain to have mild winters) When the warm water reaches the North Atlantic, the water becomes saltier and cooler. Because cold water molecules are packed more tightly together, it has more density than warm water. Therefore, it sinks deep down and pulls the current back around.
(Click the picture if you want to see the website where I got information about the thermohaline circulation) The difference in temperature in the water enables the thermohaline to move the water around the world. The deep cold current travel around Africa and Asia. Some of the current rises slowly because it gets warmed. The rest of the cold current continues to run toward the Pacific Ocean. In the Pacific, the water will rise to the surface of the ocean due to warm temperatures. The warm water will travel back to the North Atlantic pole, and that completes the cycle of thermohaline. (The completion of the cycle takes around 1000 years.) But how is the global conveyor belt related to global warming and the ice age? Recently, scientists discovered that there has been 20% decrease in cold water flow around Gulf. The global conveyor belt heavily depends on the temperature and salinity of water. Nonetheless, if the glacier continues melting due to the increasing in temperature, there will be more fresh water around the Gulf Stream, which will slow down the global conveyor belt. This will no longer bring warm water around the North Atlantic as it will stay in the tropical regions, so North West Europe will face harsher winters. In an extreme case, it could cause the same ice age scenario from the Day After Tomorrow. However, many scientists say that the Day After Tomorrow happened impossibly quickly. If this really occurs, it will take many decades. However, in the movie, the new ice age happens impossibly quickly. If it happens in real world, it will take few decades to happen.(Link) Steve Easterbrook who is a professor in University of Toronto said the global warming can cause much colder temperature in Western Europe, and it can trigger a new ice age through more glacier reflecting the sun light and etc. But, that’s a very very extreme case to happen.
(Click the picture if you want to see the website where I got information about the Gulf stream) Or maybe global warming is not even true, and all the evidence that we are seeing such as rising sea level is just coincidence. However, what if it’s not coincidence? What if global warming has been caused by the result of human’s civilization? Why do the next generation and other species have to suffer because of our greed? A lot of evidences show that Global warming is happening, and global warming has been caused by the result of humn’s civilization. (Specifically, it has been triggered by burning carbon dioxide) The evidence also indicates that many bad outcomes such as “a new ice age” can happen in the future. And we don’t know how soon they will appear because nature is very unpredictable. (I believe we have already started to see some outcomes) A survey indicates that 53% of Americans believe that global warming is due to human activity such as burning fossil fuels, and 70% responded that it is possible to reduce greenhouse gases, and 59% think individuals can do something about global warming. We have caused global warming, so it’s time for us to take action against it, and I hope it’s not too late.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/37562-toxic-slime-spreads-across-world-s-oceans-as-climate-disruption-continues-apace
The most detailed study to date shows that Arctic sea ice-melt over the last 20 years is "unprecedented" and "enormously outside the bounds of natural variability." Julienne Stroeve with the US National Snow and Ice Data Center said that the Arctic sea ice has not been at levels as low as it is today for at least 5,000 to 7,000 years.Stroeve noted, "Some other studies have suggested at least 800,000 years." "Next year or the year after, the Arctic will be free of ice," Dr. Peter Wadhams, who has spent his entire scientific career involved in dozens of trips to study the Arctic,told The Guardian recently. Wadhams, who was one of the very first scientists to warn that the thick Arctic icecap was beginning to thin, directed the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge from 1987 to 1992, and has been a professor of ocean physics at Cambridge since 2001. - Shocking news recently emerged from India, where over a quarter of that country's land is turning into desert thanks largely to ACD, according to a recently published study. - Another recent report showed that ocean slime, composed of toxic algae blooms, is rapidly spreading across Earth as a result of warming ocean waters. The toxic algae is worsening dead zones and wiping out parts of the food chain for marine life, causing collapsing populations of sea lions, seals, various bird species and fish around the planet. Meanwhile in the Arctic, fish populations are shifting rapidly as the sea ice dwindles. According to a recent report from the USGS and the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), at least 20 different species have now found their way into Arctic waters that had previously never been found there. Additionally, another 63 species have changed their ranges from what they used to be. A recent study also showed that the Greenland Ice Sheet continues to melt extremely rapidly, losing the equivalent of 110 million Olympic-size swimming pools worth of water each year. In other words, 270 gigatons of ice have melted per year from 2011 to 2014. The study also showed that the melting in Greenland is continuing to accelerate with time. Down in the Antarctic, a recent report showed that a massive rift is growing across the fragile Larsen C Ice Shelf. As the crack continues to spread at an accelerating rate, it threatens to release an iceberg the size of Delaware. More importantly, it will eventually destabilize an even larger area of ice, roughly the size of Scotland. - NASA's top climate scientist, Gavin Schmidt, who directs the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, recently said that Earth is warming at a pace not seen for at least the past 1,000 years, which means it is "very unlikely" that global temperatures will stay below the 1.5C limit agreed to in Paris. "In the last 30 years, we've really moved into exceptional territory," Schmidt told the Guardian US. "It's unprecedented in 1,000 years." "Maintaining temperatures below the 1.5C guardrail requires significant and very rapid cuts in carbon dioxide emissions or coordinated geoengineering," he added. "That is very unlikely. We are not even yet making emissions cuts commensurate with keeping warming below 2C." While it has been discussed before, an international team of researchers recently stated that Earth has now been pushed into the Anthropocene epoch, due to ACD, the spread of plastics, and new metals and concrete. This is the first new geological epoch for the Earth in more than 11,500 years, and it is due to the intensely rapid industrialization of the planet over the course of the last century. - Lastly, a recent report warned that we are already locked into far more planetary warming than most folks realize. Given that humans continue to inject over 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually, and the fact that what is already there has us locked into (conservatively) another 1.5-3C of warming in the coming decades, the new climate reality is upon us.

sorry but the planet needs to get rid of about 75% of the "human infestation"
if we were elephants in a game park we would have been "CULLED" ages ago......

carbon20 I agree with you if there is global warming and we created it then we deserve to die in droves then things will go back in balance.
I do not know why people are so concerned, the dinosaurs died out and we can do the same. We are just conceited enough that we think we should be on earth forever. Guess what not going to happen!
