Global Warming 101 - Human Fingerprints

Because most global warming emissions remain in the atmosphere for decades or centuries, the energy choices we make today greatly influence the climate our children and grandchildren inherit. We have the technology to increase energy efficiency, significantly reduce these emissions from our energy and land use, and secure a high quality of life for future generations. We must act now to avoid dangerous consequences.

Earth's surface has undergone unprecedented warming over the last century, particularly over the last two decades. Astonishingly, every single year since 1992 is in the current list of the 20 warmest years on record. The natural patterns of climate have been altered. Like detectives, science sleuths seek the answer to "Whodunnit?" � are humans part of the cause? To answer this question, patterns observed by meteorologists and oceanographers are ... Full Story »

I'm relieved to read that "science dectives" are "quantifying the impact activities on climate." The data, called human fingerprints, being uncovered by meterologists and oceangraphers suggest that humans are to blame in part for untoward changes in our oceans and atmsosphere. Since humans are the "main drivers" of global warming emissions released in the air that sustains our existence and all living things this report ends with several recommendations to slow down the rising levels of warming: improve energy efficiency, increase the use of renewable energy, and go slow on deforestation. This report offers detailed cohesive evidence, visuals along with a biblography if you want to check out the sources.

The undersigned of this report should of warned us not be mislead by pundits and politicains who say that global warming is a hoax.
