Agreed. Over the centuries planets cools and warms and now we are apparently in a warming cycle.
How much is man made is a question. We should do our best to use resources as efficiently as possible in any case.

Why should the U.S. be leading the charge? We only represent about 4 percent of the world population.
Has anyone ever presented a viable plan of action for the world that would solve the "problem" and has any chance to be accepted and implemented globally?

Greenland just set a new all-time Record-Low Temperature
Greenland just set a new all-time Record-Low Temperature - Electroverse (https://electroverse.net/greenland-just-set-a-new-all-time-record-low-temperature/)
I clicked on your link and learned that the website explained how the sunspot cycle was low and that this is why it was so cold in Greenland that one day. It further explained that this low sunspot activity would last for a few years and this is how ice ages begin. We were to expect a really significant cooling that would be lasting several weeks and be dangerous especially in North America
"This could be big.
Prepare.
The cold times are returning, in line with historically low solar activity.
The jet stream is weakening, diverting brutal polar cold to the lower-latitudes: "
So what was the actual data for the first quarter of 2020? Did this climate chabge denial website get it right? Of course not.
Monthly Temperature: January 2020
The global land and ocean surface temperature for January 2020 was the highest in the 141-year record, with a temperature departure from average of 1.14°C (2.05°F) above the 20th century average. The Northern Hemisphere land and ocean surface temperature departure from average was also highest on record at 1.50°C (2.70°F) above average.
Now to be fair, there was a brief period of cold air in a small area of North America. This is called "weather" not climate change. To look at climate you look at the globe. When it is cold in a few Canadian provinces or one day in Greenland that is not evidence to refute climate change. But one hot day above the Arctic Circle is similarly not evidence to prove that the globe is warming.
It is a bit tiring that the denialists continue to parade sunspot data to "prove" their point because it doesn't support the claim that solar activity is a driving factor. Solar cycles are about 11 years, it goes up then down then begins again. But somehow the global temperatures have only gone in one direction through those 11 years, up.
You know what actually measurable quantity parallels the increase in global temperature. It is not solar activity, it is of course CO2 (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/global-warming/temperature-change). Man-made CO2 is the major factor in the recent change in CO2 levels. (https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide)
With the hot temperatures in the formerly frozen tundra there is a very real concern that the methane which has been locked in the frozen soil (https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2785/unexpected-future-boost-of-methane-possible-from-arctic-permafrost/)will now be liberated. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Additionally with the decrease in snow/ice cover, the globe will absorb more solar radiation which used to be reflected back into space.
Why should the US lead in solving this problem? Because despite what you hear from some sources, the US leads the world by far in production of greenhouse gases per person. Each American, even with all our high mileage cars and pollution controls produces more climate damaging gas than the citizens of any other country. We are befouling the planet. We have been doing it for decades. We are supposed to be world leaders, "American exceptionalism", a beacon for the world.

Very good information and explanation. Sadly, many just don't want to hear it. Most don't seem to know the difference between climate and weather, and the "nay-sayers" use that confusion to support their rhetoric. There is so much we (humans) could and should due, but with our species being so fragmented, unwilling or incapable of uniting to do what is in the best interest of the planet or our species, it is good that there is such a push to get into space.

Every person who has been in the far north or viewed the ice disappearing at alarming rate knows we are in a warming cycle. Ice thousands of years old has melted. Some want to place blame, some want to deny it’s happening. It may have drastic consequences if it continues, so we watch carefully. Personally I think it is a cycle of warming and cooling period. With that said, I don’t down play it and I do think as the health of earth suffers, so will we. It’s just a measure of being good stewards of that which we are a part. We are the earth, we are the eyes and ears and most of the time intelligence. Shame/blame talk doesn’t solve what’s happening if we can solve it.

There is a place called Greenland but it is covered by snow! Theory is the Vikings settled that area and gave it the name of Greenland because of the verdant vegetation growing there. This theory has been fairly well documented based on artifacts found there by archaeologists. If the climate has been getting warmer what happened to Greenland? Scientists estimate there have been something like 5 ice ages in the life of the Earth and it warmed up after each one. It got warm enough for cold blooded animals called dinosaurs to live in large areas of the world where they wouldn't be able to live now. I don't think there were any SUV's or humans in the millions living then.

DOD On Climate Change/National Security (click here) (http://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/612710/)
The report finds that climate change is a security risk, Pentagon officials said, because it degrades living conditions, human security and the ability of governments to meet the basic needs of their populations.
Communities and states that already are fragile and have limited resources are significantly more vulnerable to disruption and far less likely to respond effectively and be resilient to new challenges, they added.
“The Department of Defense's primary responsibility is to protect national security interests around the world,” officials said in a news release announcing the report’s submission. “This involves considering all aspects of the global security environment and planning appropriately for potential contingencies and the possibility of unexpected developments both in the near and the longer terms.
“It is in this context,” they continued, “that the department must consider the effects of climate change -- such as sea level rise, shifting climate zones and more frequent and intense severe weather events -- and how these effects could impact national security.”

So, I forget, which one of those graphs show a consistent rise over a 100 year period...versus MILLIONS of years? :boom:
:wave:
That's the point, 100 years is just a blip in earth's history. The climate has changed drastically up and down long before humans were on the scene. We are in a relative cooler period right now and a .5 C rise over 100 years is nothing to be alarmed about.
There have been periods where no ice existed at the poles and periods where ice covered most of the USA. Well before anyone know what fossil fuels were.
Remember when global warmists predicted 20 foot rise in sea levels? In the last 25 years as measured by NASA it's gone up 93 mm, about 3.6 inches.

Ok, where to start?
Let's start at the beginning - the OP's thread equating a high temperature with climate change. It's so demonstrably incorrect, but that's how things work here, apparently.
What do we know about Verkhoyansk? Oh, that it has the distinction of being the Guinness World Record holder for the the world's widest temperature range:
Verkhoyansk currently holds the Guinness World Record for the greatest temperature range on earth - fluctuating from minus 68C to a high of 37.3C.
Note: that Guinness designation didn't happen this week.
So, what was the previous record at Verkhoyansk? And when?
On 20 June 2020, it set a record for the highest temperature above the Arctic Circle, at 100.4°F (38°C),[12] beating the previous record of 99.1 °F (37.3°C) set on July 25, 1988.
Yep, 99.1 degrees F in 1988.

Check the stats for the last 15 years. Co2 levels are off the charts due to mostly burning fossil fuels. Look at pictures of artic ice and glaciers now and 15 years ago.
The ice age temperature on earth was only 4 degrees lower than today. Weather is day to day. Climate is a long period of time. As 4% of the population...we contribute more pollution per person than any country.

Whenever someone talks about climate change I quietly ask myself "what do they expect me to do about it?"
Al Gore flew in a private jet to give his speeches on climate change and lived in a house that cost 100 times more in co2 release than the average American home. I read about this long ago and don't have facts to back this up.
I have very limited knowledge on this subject but from what I have heard is that the changes needed are going to exceed the financial abilities of every country? That forcing the pace of technology beyond reasonable investment expectations could result in accelerating debt that gets out of control?
I'm all for reducing pollution and co2 emissions but I doubt whatever steps I take will make a difference. I feel I've already maxed out what I can do, within reason.

You are correct, it has always undergone drastic changes which was contributed to nature dispensing gasses into the atmosphere, volcano'e for one, the natural expansion of the planet environment for another. What has changed is the speed in which it is changing. For us, the debate is meaningless since we will all be dead. What isn't meaningless is how our kids and grandkids feel about it. As with most things, it's in their hands and they could care less about what we think since they blame us for the state of stuff they are saddled with.

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.
I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2 , 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 98 years ago. And, don’t forget to wash your hands too.

From NASA
“Global warming” refers to the long-term warming of the planet. Global temperature shows a well-documented rise since the early 20th century and most notably since the late 1970s. Worldwide, since 1880 the average surface temperature has risen about 1 °C (about 2 °F), relative to the mid-20th-century baseline (of 1951-1980). This is on top of about an additional 0.15 °C of warming from between 1750 and 1880.
“Climate change” encompasses global warming, but refers to the broader range of changes that are happening to our planet. These include rising sea levels; shrinking mountain glaciers; accelerating ice melt in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic; and shifts in flower/plant blooming times. These are all consequences of the warming, which is caused mainly by people burning fossil fuels and putting out heat-trapping gases into the air. The terms “global warming” and “climate change” are sometimes used interchangeably, but strictly they refer to slightly different things.“

How many of you were there for previous ice ages? How many of you know that we are still coming out of the last ice age? Did you know that grape growing for wine was common in the British Isles in the 12th century?? Climate change IS real. It's been going on for 4 billion years. Right now the amount of land mass on this planet is at or near the highest percentage of the planetary surface ever ( as far as we can tell). Weren't we all supposed to be underwater by now? And one final comment about "experts". Everyone today accepts the idea of plate tectonics, the fact that the planet's crust consists of moveable plates that shift, separate, and combine over the millennia. Yet that "theory" was roundly rejected by the "experts" of the day. Food for thought. And speaking of food, popcorns ready! :popcorn:

I was on a glacier in Canada last year and the tour guide said we are still in the ice age, but at the very end. Meaning the climate is warming. Didn't need him to tell me that its normal for the climate to change though. As you indicate above, its a natural phenomenon.

Worldwide, since 1880 the average surface temperature has risen about 1 °C (about 2 °F), relative to the mid-20th-century baseline (of 1951-1980). This is on top of about an additional 0.15 °C of warming from between 1750 and 1880.
“Climate change” encompasses global warming, but refers to the broader range of changes that are happening to our planet. These include rising sea levels; shrinking mountain glaciers; accelerating ice melt in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic; and shifts in flower/plant blooming times. These are all consequences of the warming, which is caused mainly by people burning fossil fuels and putting out heat-trapping gases into the air. The terms “global warming” and “climate change” are sometimes used interchangeably, but strictly they refer to slightly different things.“

No cherry picking allowed in real climate science. If you look at the past 2000 years of temp data, you see that picking a start point in the middle of the little ice age (1400 to 1800) you get only rising temperatures. We're are almost as warm now as we were in the medieval warming period. They had a lot of V8 engines in medieval times, called them horses.

And what percent of consumption?

Arctic ice is melting! Mountain ice caps are decreasing! Seasonal temperatures are increasing! Ocean temperatures and water levels are increasing!The scientists of every other single country in the world except this one has accepted these facts. Are we really the smartest nation of all or are we led by science deniers??

We have leadership that ignores climate change to the detriment of earth's future, and covid-19 which, among other things, might be halting travel to Europe from America which would make us look like world pariahs. Fun times.

Do you do YOUR part that would reduce the CO2??
Is your house AC turned on?
Do you drive a car or golf cart?
Is your lawn mowed by a hand push mower?
Do you use your BBQ grill?
Unless YOU are doing something about it, then please stop telling us that it an emergency or expecting the government to solve the problem.

Not solve but at least address it, work on it. Hard to understand?

I think many of these people don’t deny it, just what is causing the phenomenon.

It's been hashed over too many times and people still ignore it. I don't think people dispute the climate is changing. The dispute is what the cause is.
There isn't any more (or less) water on this planet than there really ever was regarding this argument.
Sea levels have risen and fallen over the millennia. Florida had salt water beaches further inland than Gainesville at one time. It happened before, it'll probably happen again.
Common sense won’t be tolerated.

I would doubt that claim regardless of what the topic might be.
