Slideshow: Photos Show Global Warming Overtaking Cities

Edward Mazria wants people to know how rising sea levels -- made worse by global warming -- will affect residents along U.S. coastlines...

Mazria isn't a climatologist. He's not even a scientist. He's an architect who gave up running his company in January to devote his time to a nonprofit group he founded several years ago. Called Architecture 2030, the organization tries to bring attention to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that the building sector contributes to global warming through inefficient electricity use, lighting, heating and cooling...

To demonstrate Mazria's point, Architecture 2030 has compiled a report that features images depicting the dramatic effects of sea level rise -- from about 3 to 16 feet -- on 21 cities around the country.

Read the entire article here.

Global Warming?

While the news focus has been on the lowest ice extent since satellite monitoring began in 1979 for the Arctic, the Southern Hemisphere (Antarctica) has quietly set a new record for most ice extent since 1979.

So, what do you think? Are we going to see pole reversal?

[YEShavesome]

Here's something that you can do now to save money, energy and the environment we share: BUY LED BULBS!
They last over 50,000 hours, have no murcury and use a tenth of the electricity. Sure the initial cost of $100 is high, but they will save you $500 over the life of the bulb. http://www.betterlifegoods.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=LED%2DCAT21417

BLessings!

99% of every species that has ever lived has died off. Maybe it is our turn to follow the fold.

[marleysghost]

My theory is that we are stripping the world's rain forest lung capacity of the very trees and biomass that have done planet-wide breathing for us for millennia. Replanting a few trees in suburbia is not going to redress the O2/CO2 imbalance.

Perhaps a planetwide human die-off would help. I pray for cometary intervention on a daily basis. The planet will live. Humans - perhaps not.

[mommamia526]

Well, yes, there is a theory! All those trees are mowed down and sawn into wood for new furniture! And then there are those Arabs, those Palestinians! Just when Israel had turned desert into flourishing greenhouses and planted trees, down it all came! Another little oasis in the desert gone! And there are Palestinians working together with ultra leftwing dogooders and all the good they do is pull up olive trees, grapevines, and other trees. For heavens' sakes. Can not have those trees, produce and olives and wines. Although I have not heard it yet, I would not be surprised if they were turning over beehives as well. No pollination! Planetwide kill-off, marleysghost, is already happening, or have you missed what has been going on with the Middle East and terrorism, as well as the nuclear armsrace. There is a frenzy and crazyness going on beyond belief.

Seriously, that kind of flagrantly dishonest headline only makes it harder to reason with the crazies living in denial.

[ceasenake]

What great maps and special effects.

It reminds me of Hollywood, and just about as believable.

[grainger5]

Scientists from all over the world agree - Global Warming is manmade. This conclusion was reached even by diehard Bush apologists like Doug, who finally admitted to the facts.

Thank you, Doug, for turning off FOX NEWS propaganda!

[Where is Jesus?]

Did I miss something here? Did Doug actually agree that GW is man-made? Or did I misread?

[shockmagog]

Good going, Doug(?).

[Doug]

What are you talking about?

-"Global warming is part of the climate cycle - here is the evidence..­.." (present the evidence)

-Your response:

"He watches fox news."

You help my argument when you offer no logical rebuttal.

[Where is Jesus?]

Science notwithstanding, perhaps the Republicans' fundamentalist version of God is heating up the whole place because human beings have been so stupid for so long that he, she, or it can't risk letting us fuck up the place anymore. But maybe we should just start over and perhaps this time there won't be any genetically inferior organisms that could possibly evolve into conservatives.

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

Is it there version of hell that they are bringing to us all?

[hydenorhare]

Every report reduces the predicted disasters of an earlier report.

With more people aware of the scare tactics and data manipulation by the high priests of MMCC, the movement cannot sustain the preposterous claims that used to go unchallenged.

e.g. 1998 was the warmest year on record, CO2 drives temp change, and on and on.

[Where is Jesus?]

How can you say that when they have recently realized that the polar ice caps are melting at a far greater rate then they had earlier predicted. What reports are you reading, other than the kool-aid variety?

[JetJockey]

And, we should remember that the agriculture depends on petrochemical fertilizer. If we use it all up in inefficient transportation, what will we use to make the necessary fertilizers? Would be nice to leave a little oil for the grandkids to play with. Who knows what other uses they might find for it besides pushing SUVs around?

[999theantiantichrist]

dead is ,,, dead....
Man made or natural it is all the same.
you want to bet the lives of your children that this is all hogwash?

[wayoutleft]

let's start with what we all agree on: global warming is an alqaeda gay plot to kill american virgins. the question is how can we counterattack. i think for every incidence of temperature being reported warmer than it is, we have to nuke a city in iran in order to show them we mean business. they are stealing polar bears to make global warming seem natural- can you believe it! as proud mother of a son who went to the artic icecap to protect your freedoms i resent your disloyalty. americans have a right to be warm.

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

Michael Crichton is interested in your talents.

[godlessclif]

Crichton writes fiction and a gay-arab conspiracy sells more books that a factual report. That is why the rapture books sell more copies than Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"

[Doug]

Fear mongering.

Photoshopped images with the point to frighten the weak minded.

If the republicans rendered some images of New York after a nuke, you'd all be crying fear mongering.

Well, here is your fear mongering.

[shockmagog]

Forewarned is forearmed.

"If the republicans rendered some images of New York after a nuke, you'd all be crying fear mongering.­"

It depends on the context. If it was created for the purpose of pointing out the aftermath of "weak willed Liberals," then I would agree with you.

If it was created in the context of "terrorists determined to strike in the U.S.," and it was created before 9/11, then it would be said that the Republicans were concentrating on what was important.

Bush aide says warming man-made
By Roger Harrabin
Environment analyst, BBC News



Professor John Marburger (left) is Mr Bush's top science advisor
The US chief scientist has told the BBC that climate change is now a fact.

Professor John Marburger, who advises President Bush, said it was more than 90% certain that greenhouse gas emissions from mankind are to blame.

The Earth may become "unliveable" without cuts in CO2 output, he said, but he labelled targets for curbing temperature rise as "arbitrary".

[DemonicLaughterInc]

Little Doug and ohiomark
Live happily together in a trailer park,
Thrown together by perverse respect
For those who lack real intellect.
Truly, they have each found a real soul mate
For their IQ, combined, comes to just sixty-eight.

[godlessclif]

Republican won't need Photoshop to show NYC being nuked if they don't stop ordering the killing Muslims for no reason. But that is another topic
involving Petraeus.

[godlessclif]

[satire]Falwell said, "The AIDS quilt is causing global warming"[/satire]

[Doug]

Manmade global warming is a religion.

It's composed of half of people unwilling to look at all the available data for fear that it will no longer support their ideology. The other half is people who live in fear.

[HumeSkeptic]

Eaded this, then eat shit, Mark.

Give it up Douche... I mean Doug. You are wearing it out.

[godlessclif]

"Manmade global warming is a religion." ...Doug

Glad you think religious myths are untrue Doug, so do I.
But in this case Man caused Global Warming is scientific fact not a religious myth.

[BeerHolder]

Much like the Republican party huh?

[Richandler]

This picture isn't going to happen. No scientist has ever stated that these giant permanent floods will happen. Only Al Gore has shown these pictures. And now, this nut.

Here is one Scientist. Bush fired him for telling the truth. Giant Floods. What do you mean by Permanent? How long does New York have to be under water to cause a problem?
