The Coming Crisis: "We've super-sized our weather"

The Coming Crisis Welcome to Humanity's    ...Final Performance...

"We've super-sized our weather" Dec 25th 2012, 19:53 Paul Douglas is running against the mainstream grain in two significant ways. One, he is Republican and acknowledges the reality of human-caused climate change. Republicans tend not to agree with the science, despite the overwhelming - 97 percent - consensus among climatologists that human-created emissions are warming the planet, causing climate change - and triggering extreme weather. For example, a Bloomberg national poll, released in early October, said that while "78 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents believe humans are warming the earth ... almost two out of three Republicans don't." The second way the Minneapolis-based Douglas is running against the grain is that he's a broadcast meteorologist, and the majority of people in his profession don't necessarily acknowledge the level at which humans are causing climate change. According to a 2011 report by the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, only 53 percent of broadcast meteorologists said that human influence plays an important role in climate change - with 34 percent saying climate change is a result of human and natural causes, and only 19 percent saying it is mostly human-caused [See AMS sidebar]. http://www.nuvo.net/indianapolis/weve-super-sized-our-weather/Content?oid=2512494#.UNTMOW-WZ_l
