Spring comes 10 days earlier in changed U.S. climate

Because the rate is higher than normal, because we've increased CO2 concentration by 40%. That means two major things. 1) Human caused climate change will cause a mass extinction because species can't evolve fast enough and can't change their ranges quickly enough, especially with the massive amount of deforestation. 2) The climate will go from being ideal for humans to not ideal, in a matter of hundreds instead of thousands of years.


If you don't get the rate thing, consider this. Every month your wife bleeds at a certain rate. If one month she bleeds at 100x that rate, do you say "You bleed every month" and refuse to take her to the hospital? No, because then you'd be a dumbass. Yet, when it comes to things other than bleeding, a lot of people seem to not grasp the concept of rate.

If we want to stay at the top of the food chain, we will evolve. I'm not worried. Mindless zombies who can only regurgitate what they read online will not make the cut. Sucks to be them.

UCS (Union of Concerned Scientists) embraces an environmental agenda that often stands at odds with the “rigorous scientific analysis” it claims to employ. A radical green wolf in sheep’s clothing, UCS tries to distinguish itself from the Greenpeaces of the world by convincing the media that its recommendations reflect a consensus among the scientific community. And that’s what makes it so dangerous. Whether it’s energy policy or agricultural issues, UCS’s “experts” are routinely given a free pass from newspaper reporters and television producers when they claim that mainstream science endorses their radical agenda.

Gross oversimplifications and omissions like this is the reason we have a bunch of uninformed masses believing whatever the green hype-machine tells them.
