Lawrence Solomon: Enjoy the warmth while it lasts

URL: http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fpcomment/archive/2009/10/30/...
Date: 2 November 2009

Arguments by Solomon vs What the Science Says
"Climate's changed before" Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; humans are now the dominant forcing.
"Ice age predicted in the 70s"

The vast majority of climate papers in the 1970s predicted warming.

"It hasn't warmed since 1998"

Every part of the Earth's climate system has continued warming since 1998, with 2015 shattering temperature records.

"It's cooling"

All the indicators show that global warming is still happening.

"It's not bad"

Negative impacts of global warming on agriculture, health & environment far outweigh any positives.

"We're heading into an ice age" Worry about global warming impacts in the next 100 years, not an ice age in over 10,000 years.
