Sign and send the petition to your Senators: Do NOT confirm any climatedeniers

Climate pollution is causing catastrophic damage to the United States and all over the world  At this late hour, the American people and the world community can no longer tolerate government officials who deny this existential threat. Climate denial is immoral, unethical and constitutes crime against humanity.

For this reason, as you vet the new administration’s appointments, we exhort you to ask the following simple questions of every nominee:

Do you accept the scientific consensus that the climate is changing because of greenhouse gas pollution, predominantly the burning of fossil fuels?

Do you accept the scientific consensus that ocean acidification, sea levels, and extreme weather—including heat waves, droughts, and deluges—are on the rise because of greenhouse gas pollution?

Do you accept the findings of the Pentagon, the CIA and the Department of Defense that climate change threatens U.S. national security?

Any nominee who answers “no” to either of these questions should be rejected out of hand as they belong to the same kind of people who insisted that the world is flat or that the sun revolves around earth.

Climate Change Denial Kills!

From the Siwrra Club:

This is what we're up against. The minute Trump took office, he scrubbed every mention of Climate Change from whitehouse.gov.

His new energy "plan" will make your blood boil:

President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan...

We must take advantage of the estimated $50 trillion in untapped shale, oil, and natural gas reserves, especially those on federal lands...

The Trump Administration is also committed to clean coal technology.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Women's March in Adrian, Washington DC and Many Other Places

It was good to be part of the Sister March of The Women's March in Washington DC - right here in Adrian. I think we were about 130 women, men and children, and many people driving by supported our peaceful protest.

It was also reassuring to see that almost a million people joined The Women's March in Washington DC (Ann Arbor reported about 11,000 people). This unprecedented crowding shows clearly that are many people, who are not happy but concerned about the nominations and the tone of Mr. Trump. It is a clear message that we are vigilant and will not allow this country to go backwards and slip into fascism.

Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it might vanish under Trump

Alarmed that decades of crucial climate measurements could vanish under a hostile Trump administration, scientists have begun a feverish attempt to copy reams of government data onto independent servers in hopes of safeguarding it from any political interference.

If this is continuing you know that we are steering towards a totalitarian and fascist country...In that case resistance becomes an obligation for every citizen!

Denying Human-Made Climate Change is a Crime Against Humanity!!! Overlooked possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in warming climate

Overlooked possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in warming climate | Science Advances advances.sciencemag.org Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are moderate in most climate model projections under increasing greenhouse gas forcing. This intermodel consensus may be an artifact of common model biases that favor a stable AMOC. Observationally based freshwater budget analyses suggest that the AMOC is in an unstable regime susceptible for large changes in response to perturbations. By correcting the model biases, we show that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990 level. Compared to an uncorrected model, the AMOC collapse brings about large, markedly different climate responses: a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland, and a significant southward rain-belt migration over the tropical Atlantic. Our results highlight the need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models an
