Greenhouse Gases Cause of Global Warming, Not Sun Activity New NASA Report Confirms
A prolonged solar minimum left the sun's surface nearly free of sunspots and accompanying bright areas called faculae between 2005 and 2010. Total solar irradiance declined slightly as a result, but the Earth continued to absorb more energy than it emit throughout the minimum. An animation of a full solar cycle is available here.

In a real brief summary, the study concluded:
Improving observations of ocean heat content show that Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum. The inferred planetary energy imbalance, 0.58±0.15Wm−2 during the 6-yr period 2005–2010, confirms the dominant role of the human-made greenhouse effect in driving global climate change.
This imbalance is the primary driver for global warming, since more energy is coming in than leaving and, because it occurred during a period when the sun was emitting comparatively low levels of energy, the imbalance has implications for the cause of global warming. The results of the study confirm greenhouse gases produced by human activities are the most important driver of global climate change, according to the researchers.

Texas Heat Wave & Drought Linked to Rapid Global Warming by NASA’s James Hansen
Texas Heat Wave & Drought Linked to Rapid Global Warming by NASA's James Hansen Images
The Texas heat wave and Texas drought that occurred over three months last summer where the temperatures in Texas rose higher than at any time in recorded history, and the state is still in the midst of the most expensive drought in the states history. But can the 2011 Texas heat wave and Texas drought be linked to global warming?
Some of us do associate these extreme weather events like this list of worst storms – natural disasters 2011 to global warming. However it is an entirely different world for scientists, and it is even difficult to get accross the fact that climate change is going on or is man made, however those attempts to discredit the science have been reduced greatly by the Koch led study into whether or not global warming is real.

A Sense of Urgency is Needed if Greenhouse Gases are to Peak in Time
We really need to cut that out!
According to an article from the UNEP dated February 23, 2010 “Countries will have to be far more ambitious in cutting these emissions if the world is to effectively curb the rise in global temperature by 2°C or less. This is the conclusion of a new greenhouse gas modeling study based on the estimates of researchers at nine leading centers, compiled by the UN environment program (UNEP).” Continue Reading A Sense of Urgency is Needed if Greenhouse Gases are to Peak in Time Here

Is Global Warming Real
That brings us to the present day and the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) study, a study that was heavily funded by the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, which would prefer to keep climate denial as the mainstream philosophy for ulterior motives, primarily to fight attempts to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S.A. due to their energy industries large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) also funded by Koch industries is also attempting to thwart environmental protections and climate change legislature to benefit companies like Koch Industries bottom lines.

24 Hours of Reality Live
It’s time for the world to face the realities of climate change, and that time is now!
That is the message expressed by Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, which has launched “24 Hours of Reality,” an event beginning at 7pm CT (8pm ET) on September 14, and running for 24 hours straight. It is a global event featuring 24 presenters in 24 time zones, who “will connect the dots between recent extreme weather events — including floods, droughts and storms along with the manmade pollution that is changing our climate.”
The event comes on the heels of hurricanes, droughts, and other extreme weather events slamming the United States, and as the country ended its second-hottest summer ever recorded.
Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said “There is now a pervasive human influence in all climate events.”
In a recent Mediaite interview with Climate Reality Project’s Alex Bogusky, Gore said:
Powerful polluters … see it as a useful strategy to try to convince the public that the scientists are liars and that they’re greedy and they’re making stuff up. All in the service of their overarching strategy of creating enough doubt to persuade people that there shouldn’t be any sense of urgency about addressing this crisis.
In anticipation of the event, the Climate Reality Project released video ads suggesting that when it comes to the climate crisis, “the fat lady has sung and the *#!? is hitting the fan.”
You can watch the “24 Hours of Reality” event livestream in English here, beginning at 8pm ET, or click here to find the location where you would like to watch a presentation.
Stay tuned in to the Climate Reality Project and help to save the planet and we hope you enjoy the 24 Hours of Reality Live! Peace my friends and Godspeed!
