NASA’s Findings on Global Warming
Now that Americans are finally getting with the program and accepting that Global Warming is real (and it only took a blockbuster movie to get them to accept it), we have these findings from NASA about the human contributions to our changing climate. I highly recommend the entire article, as it has some really interesting things to say about climate change in general, what we are doing to contribute to it and what we can do to alter our present collision course with disaster.
From DailyGalaxy:
The team conducted a “joint attribution” study in which they showed, first, that at the global scale, about 90 percent of observed changes in diverse physical and biological systems are consistent with warming. Other driving forces, such as land use change from forest to agriculture, were ruled out as having significant influence on the observed impacts.
Next, the scientists conducted statistical tests and found that the spatial patterns of observed impacts closely match temperature trends across the globe, to a degree beyond what can be attributed to natural variability. So, the team concluded that observed global-scale impacts are very likely due to human-caused warming. So yeah. According to NASA, climate change is all our fault.
Have a nice weekend!
