Global Warming

Global Warming

 With the battle brewing in the middle east, mostly over those who wish to control the taps on the oil pipelines, Unfortunately, there is no attention being paid to the real threat to human civilization. As I have written several times on this sight, we are heading down a very dangerous road that will undoubtedly come to meet us sooner rather than later. As mentioned in earlier reports, I placed onblogit.com, in 1969 the University of Columbia released what was known as the "Dooms Day Report" which focuses on the exhilaration of global warming based on the numbers they were receiving during those years, along with the calculated increase of temperature change and arctic melt. When taken into proportionality, the numbers were right on target, the problem is, however, the increase in global climate change has been moving twice as fast as the report attempted to predict. For example, the intrusion of sea levels moving into major metropolis areas like mexico city and the greater part of Bangladesh were projected to occur in about 100 years to 200. Now, those numbers have receded to 50 to 100 years until such disasters are being predicted.

Much of this information can be found on Green Peace's website or you can google, "Marshall Report, global warming," to read what has some frantic pentagon insiders so worried. So far it appears that the first canary in the cave mine in the polar bear whose habitat decreases at an ever increasing rate. For the first time in recorded history, scientists are finding drowned polar bears who can swim for more than 100 miles. When you take into consideration that distance you can get at least some idea how serious the situation actually is. Further more, when you consider the fact that in 1998 3 miles of the arctic fell into the ocean and in 2006 more than twice that land mass has disappeared, you just get barely a taste of things to come. 

So what does that mean for US, well global warming is threatening the human population in several, including the ways it has effected our friend the polar bear. First with rising sea levels coastal areas around the world and including the United States are going to quickly disappear. But higher sea levels are also expected cause far more damage than just the disappearance of expensive ocean side real estate. If you can check out the Times magazine of July, 2001. In it you will a come across a section in an article that focuses on this very subject. In it, there is more than a little speculation about the disappearance of such locations as, Mexico City, Bangladesh, (the entire country to be exact) New Orleans and other areas below sea level. The author of that article was not putting this disaster scenario in terms of 100 to 150 years but, more in line with 50 to 75 years. And in case you were wondering where they got their information from, there was an updated study from the Dooms day report released just months before the Time article was written. The report was a collaboration of all the leading climatologists from around the world and who the UN members often go to.   

As for the the Marshall Report, you read it on several websites but this link should suffice for now. http://reclaimdemocracy.org/articles_2004/pentagon_report_global_warming.html
