Climate Changing 3x Faster Since 2000

by Don Beck Friday, Jun. 08, 2007 at 2:34 PM

The National Acadamy of Sciences published a report from a series of studies on many aspects of global warming. The May 22 report states that the rise in CO2 emissions and the Arctic Ice Cap melting are three times faster than the worst case predictions of the IPCC report. They also found that the sea level rise is twice as fast as expected by the scientists just last year.

Once again, the US corporate media has not given

this report any print. For a list of alarming facts

about the climate that, for the most part, were only

published in foreign countries (mostly Europe)

click this link:

Himalayan Glaciers

An article in a French newspaper Monday tells of the

glaciers in the Himalayas receeding at a rate of nearly

230 feet per year, and the regional director for the

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

saying "If temperatures continue to rise as it is, then

there will be no snow and ice in the Himalayas in 50

years time". That is the drinking water for over 1.3

billion people.

Americans are being kept in the dark about the

changing climate by the corp. media, our government's

political hacks, and the energy giant's dis-information

campaign.

US Climate Science Reduced to a 'Pack o Lies'
