The USA is the second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases (second to China). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions So if greenhouse gas emission is leading to climate change, and if climate change is leading to weather disasters then Poseidon has his aim pretty much accurate. If the US belching out CO2 isn't causing climate change and US weather disasters, no action is required. And if the US belching out CO2 is leading to weather disasters in the US ... I live in the UK, so I'm all right Jack. On Wed, 7 Nov 2012, Rich Kulawiec wrote:
Yes, unfortunately, some of the inferior primates simply don't grasp AGW - or don't wish to, since it would be politically inconvenient or not in keeping with their laughably primitive superstitions. To those of us who actually read (gasp!) papers about climate, Sandy isn't a surprise; the probability of such an event has been steadily increasing, to the point when it was only a matter of where and when, not if. As an example of this in a nontechnical forum, Dr. Jeff Masters (Weather Underground) predicted something like Sandy -- rather accurately, as it turns out -- in a TED talk a year ago: http://blog.ted.com/2012/11/02/one-year-ago-predicting-hurricane-sandys-devastating-effects/ In that talk, he talks about nine "unthinkable" weather disasters that could hit the US in the next thirty years. As the text at that link observes, number six just happened. ---rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
