Report: Some climate damage already irreversible
By Randolph E. Schmid, Ap Science Writer – Mon Jan 26, 6:33 pm ET
WASHINGTON – Many damaging effects of climate change are already basically irreversible, researchers declared Monday, warning that even if carbon emissions can somehow be halted temperatures around the globe will remain high until at least the year 3000.
"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide the climate would go back to normal in 100 years, 200 years; that's not true," climate researcher Susan Solomon said in a teleconference.
Solomon, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., is lead author of an international team's paper reporting irreversible damage from climate change, being published in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
She defines "irreversible" as change that would remain for 1,000 years even if humans stopped adding carbon to the atmosphere immediately. [article continued]

So that being her argument. How does she explain the past decade of declining temperatures and the fact that 2007 and 2008 have been the two coldest years individually and combined since the 1950s?
By now every rational adult should understand that the cult of global warming is trying to force their beliefs on the rest of us. Which is fine if they would be honest and admit that man-made global warming... or global climate change, whatever they chose to call it... is a belief system rather than a science based factual occurrence.
Yes, the planet Earth was in a warming period that began 1,500 years ago. But it appears to have ended 10 years ago. Time to move on, Let's return to the 1970's theory of a coming ice age... at least the scientific data supports that.
(By the way science also supports that the ice in Greenland, specifically the Northern Glacier, is melting because of geological, not atmospheric reasons. Similarly data shows the ice in Antarctica is growing, not melting. All of her "facts" are in fact lies.)
It is prostelyzation, not research. Mythology, not science.
