Calculated Risk. Calculated Risk A massive scientific report from the U.N.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says global warming will affect every continent, every ocean, and every one of us. Climate change is putting you at risk. It’s not personal. It’s coming for all of us in some way. Oh, and we should get on that, pronto. That’s the gist of the latest report from the U.N. “Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change,” IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri, told reporters at a press conference, nicely summing up the climate panel's conclusions. According to the IPCC (and the more than 12,000 scientific papers it referenced in the completion of the report): “The striking feature of observed impacts is that they are occurring from the tropics to the poles, from small islands to large continents, and from the wealthiest countries to the poorest.”
Here is a taste of some of those risks: And none to soon. Like this article? Obama's Last Shot – MOTHER EARTH NOW. Obama's Last Shot The president came into office promising to make fighting climate change a priority.
Now, he finally seems to be getting serious about itEDITOR'S NOTE: On Friday April 18th, after the print version of this story had closed, the State Department announced that the decision on the Keystone XL Pipeline would be delayed due to legal challenges to the pipeline's route, effectively putting off resolution of this controversial issue until after the election. The text has been updated to reflect these latest developments. President Obama is not even halfway through his second term yet, but you can almost feel the cement hardening around his feet. The glory days of hope and change have faded, his approval rating has flat-lined below 50 percent, and jockeying for 2016 has begun in earnest. But for Obama, the game ain't over yet. Opinion: For evidence of climate change, look to Alaska.

(CNN) -- A U.N. panel on Friday said with 95% certainty that the effects of climate change are real and largely man-made. To which pretty much everyone in Shishmaref, Alaska, said ... Well, duh. If only they weren't so polite. U.N. climate change report points blame at humans. Scientists surer than ever humans play major role in climate change, report saysGlobal warming already affecting extreme weather, and it could get worse, report saysU.N.'s IPCC convenes every six years to put together report; it's considered benchmark on topicEven if emissions ended today, effects of climate change could linger for centuries (CNN) -- The world's getting hotter, the sea's rising and there's increasing evidence neither are naturally occurring phenomena.
Nanosized aluminum being sprayed in the atmosphere, causing degenerative disease, says neurosurgeon. (NaturalNews) Back in the 1960's, quiet scientific dialogue began about global climate change and how it can be manipulated.
What might have turned into a productive discussion of responsible protection of Earth's climate and ecosystem had eventually evolved into a mad, controlling science experiment. By the 21st century, jumbo jets were being deployed to drop billions of dollars of nanosized aluminum and other particles into the skies. In attempts to reflect sunlight away from the Earth and cool climate temperatures, this science experiment has exploited populations of people to mass amounts of airborne metals that are literally raining down and poisoning everyone, slowly, subtly.
According to neuro-surgeon Russell L. Blaylock, the nanosized aluminum particles found in chem-trails are contributing heavily to degenerative disease today. Essentially, there needs to be a massive public outcry against geo-engineering similar to the outcry against genetically modified crops.
