Scientists Link Trend to Global Warming
WHAT: Environment Maryland will hold a press conference to release a new report documenting the increase in the frequency of extreme rainstorms and snowstorms over the past 65 years in Maryland. Recent extreme rainstorms and snowstorms are highlighted as part of a larger trend of more powerful storms occurring more often—a trend that scientists have linked to global warming. Advocates will use this latest data as further evidence for the compelling need for state and federal leaders to reduce global warming pollution.

Naturally the pollution reduction and restrictions will apply to every place other than Baltimore and PG county.
ReplyDeleteHeavy rains have never happened before? I'm guessing the word "unprecedented" will appear a gazillion times.
OMG! their should be a special tax created for this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock of crap.
ReplyDelete11:38-I agree.In addition, that ship has sailed.Too many years of environmental abuse to turn it around,unless the earth corrects itself.
ReplyDeleteYeah because I'm sure the earth is going to fix itself with closed minded people like you. If the planet fixes itsself I'm sure its first move would to remove the cause of the problem. But hey who cares what kind of place we leave for our children and their children. I'm not saying this article is spot on but anyone with a functional brain should be able to see our actions do have repercussions. And we are starting to see the damage the last 100 years has caused.
ReplyDeleteRead this more carefully.It's only a press conference.People speaking about environmental issues for political reasons.Absolutely no one is stepping up to the plate.They are only stepping up to a microphone.Please enlighten all of us by explaining how that helps anything.Any idiot can talk.What we need now is action.
ReplyDeleteOn the radio this morning they were talking about breaking a record high temperature set in 1930. Wow those 300 model T's on the road must have really put out some serious emissions back then.
ReplyDeleteEarth is how many years old?
ReplyDeleteWhere are their stats for the years before 1947?
How foolish and wasteful this effort is.
If there is a need to improve infrastructure in the form of levees, dams, holding ponds then make the case and lets get to work.
Or we could encase the Peoples Republic of MD in a giant translucent carport and have exactly the weather we want each and every day, as determined by the experts and the Lords of Annapolis!
Stand by for the announcement of a special session to enact that!
What a waste. How foolish are we to think we can control it.
ReplyDeleteGuess what, it gets hot...and it gets cold. Got it?!?
