1 Global Warming Introduction  What the heck are we supposed to believe?

2 Bill Nye debates GW  http://www.mrctv.org/videos/climate-depots- marc-morano-debates-bill-nye-climate- change http://www.mrctv.org/videos/climate-depots- marc-morano-debates-bill-nye-climate- change 

3 Picture of North Pole Melting

4 North Pole melting? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2377853/How-North- Pole-turning-lake-Webcam-captures-melting-ice-following-spell- warm-weather.html  The North Pole turns into a lake: Webcam captures melting ice following a spell of warm weather  North Pole Environmental Observatory images show lake forming in Arctic  Temperatures over most of the region were one to three degrees Celsius higher than the year’s average  Some experts claim data is too weak to suggest decrease in ice is permanent  By ELLIE ZOLFAGHARIFARDELLIE ZOLFAGHARIFARD  PUBLISHED: 12:00 EST, 25 July 2013 | UPDATED: 17:46 EST, 25 July 2013

5 North Pole not melting?  http://www.thewire.com/global/2013/07/nort h-pole-has-melted-lake/67577/ http://www.thewire.com/global/2013/07/nort h-pole-has-melted-lake/67577/  Update: The North Pole Lake Wasn't at the North Pole (336 miles south!!)  ERIC LEVENSON ERIC LEVENSON

6 Arctic Sea Ice recovering?  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article- 2485772/Global-warming-pause-20-years-Arctic- sea-ice-started-recover.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article- 2485772/Global-warming-pause-20-years-Arctic- sea-ice-started-recover.html  Global warming 'pause' may last for 20 more years and Arctic sea ice has already started to recover  Study says warmer temperatures are largely due to natural 300-year cycles  Actual increase in last 17 years lower than almost every prediction  Scientists likened continuing pause to a Mexican wave in a stadium

7 Al Gore is sure we will stop GW  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/08/21/al-gore-explains-why-hes-optimistic- about-stopping-global-warming/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/08/21/al-gore-explains-why-hes-optimistic- about-stopping-global-warming/  Al Gore Quotes:  And some 17 other countries are in various stages of adopting either a cap and trade or carbon tax or both.  When you look at the EPA process, it’s undeniably clear that there will be a price on carbon one way or the other.

8 White House to regulate Bovine Flatulence?  http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/white-house-looks-to-regulate-cow-flatulence-as-part-of-climate- agenda/#ixzz2xHqYITaT http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/white-house-looks-to-regulate-cow-flatulence-as-part-of-climate- agenda/#ixzz2xHqYITaT  White House looks to regulate cow flatulence as part of climate agenda 03/28/2014  The White House has proposed cutting methane emissions from the dairy industry by 25 percent by 2020. The White House has proposed  This comes despite falling methane emission levels across the economy since 1990.

9 Global Cooling?  http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/06/15/forget-the-temperature- plateau-earth-undergoing-global-cooling-since-2002-climate-scientist- dr-judith-curry-attention-in-the-public-debate-seems-to-be-moving- away-from/ http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/06/15/forget-the-temperature- plateau-earth-undergoing-global-cooling-since-2002-climate-scientist- dr-judith-curry-attention-in-the-public-debate-seems-to-be-moving- away-from/  Forget global warming!? Earth undergoing global COOLING since 2002! Climate Scientist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘Attention in the public debate seems to be moving away from the 15-17 year ‘pause’ to the cooling since 2002’  Growing number of scientists are predicting global cooling: Russia’s Pulkovo Observatory: ‘We could be in for a cooling period that lasts 200-250 years’  ‘Sun Sleeps’: Danish Solar Scientist Svensmark declares ‘global warming has stopped and a cooling is beginning…enjoy global warming while it lasts’  Prominent geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook warns ‘global COOLING is almost a slam dunk’ for up to 30 years or more  Australian Astronomical Society warns of global COOLING as Sun’s activity ‘significantly diminishes’

10 Global Cooling?  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatecha nge/10294082/Global-warming-No-actually-were-cooling- claim-scientists.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatecha nge/10294082/Global-warming-No-actually-were-cooling- claim-scientists.html  Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists  A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.

11 Global Warming will cause human extinction?  http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate- change/climate-change-could-make-humans- extinct-warns-health-expert-20140330-35rus.html http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate- change/climate-change-could-make-humans- extinct-warns-health-expert-20140330-35rus.html  The Earth is warming so rapidly that unless humans can arrest the trend, we risk becoming ''extinct'' as a species, a leading Australian health academic has warned.  Helen Berry, associate dean in the faculty of health at the University of Canberra, said while the Earth has been warmer and colder at different points in the planet's history, the rate of change has never been as fast as it is today.

12 Father of Environmentalism reverses position on GW?  http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/ mar/30/james-lovelock-environmentalism- religion http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/ mar/30/james-lovelock-environmentalism- religion  James Lovelock: environmentalism has become a religion and does not pay enough attention to facts, according to James Lovelock.  "it’s just as silly to be a [climate] denier as it is to be a believer” and that fracking and nuclear power should power the UK, not renewable sources such as windfarms.
