What must be done? What tangible actions must be undertaken - apparently by only the United States and only via government legislation therein - to lower the temperature of the Arctic region of the planet?
Someone please tell me how my tax dollars can reset the "Earth's air conditioner?"
The proposed solution to ameliorate anthropic climate change is to implement a long-term plan to transition to a permanent renewable economy that doesn't rely on extracting carbon-based resources from the ground. The sooner we get it done, the lower the overall future impact. Correcting the effects of existing greenhouse gas emissions by humans will either require some carefully-implemented form of geoengineering, or waiting a few million years for the ecosystem to return to equilibrium.
The use of energy generation via nuclear power is one alternative that may be useful in some regions.
Is there any Truth to this story or is CNN as usual talking out their you know what!
What the liars at CNN forgot to mention was that it was way, way, way warmer during the previous Inter-Glacial Period and Neanderthals were driving around in SUVs:
Our pollen-based climatic reconstruction suggests a mean temperature of the warmest month (MTWA) range of 9–14.5 °C during the warmest interval of the last interglacial. The reconstruction from plant macrofossils, representing more local environments, reached MTWA values above 12.5 °C in contrast to today's 2.8 °C.
Just to make sure we're clear on the concept, 12.5°C is 22.5°F warmer than present temperatures and that's Siberia.
From applications of both correspondence analysis regression and best modern analogue methodologies, we infer July air temperatures of the last interglacial to have been 4 to 5 °C warmer than present on eastern Baffin Island, which was warmer than any interval within the Holocene.
the earth is dynamic, humans demand the earth produce static conditions. guess who wins?
what does it matter if someone believes or doesn't believe??????
the government has been 'acting' on reversing global warming for decades and has not achieved any measurable progress. their prime variables are also in question.
consumer choice should be the default response to respect the environment irrespective of claim of reversing human caused global warming.
little ice age of the 14th century
extreme weather, armistice day blizzard 1940, great blizzard of 1888 in the northeast and so many other extreme weather events have gone by and continue today. the earth is dynamic, humans demand the earth produce static conditions. guess who wins?

Scientists get paid nothing compared to oil executives. Who is more motivated to act in their own interests ya think??

This climate change nonsense is fear-mongering at its worst. And people that buy into it are a sad lot if I do say so myself.
Live your life. You can't change the world. You aren't God and you can't control the 4 billion people in China, India and Africa that run reckless daily.
For the love of Pete man, dont' worry so much. You will have a heart attack or get cancer.

Sad lot?? Lol. Every credible institution believes this is a problem.
Go to some Third World nation. Tell the people there to stop having babies...if you want to truly make a difference.
Put your money where your mouth is and make a difference!
Bill Gates is doing just that. It's called family planning.
