Global Warming is REAL and REAL Scary!Below is a notice on new studies revolving around the issue of Global Warming and presented by Dr. James Spotila, a Betz Chair Professor of Environmental Science. “Global Warming is real and really scary! There is no doubt that the scientific data indicate that the addition of CO2 and other greenhouse gases like methane are warming the earth. This works by simple physics. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared (heat) radiation from the earth, especially at night, and hold in the heat." "We have known that since I was a postdoc with David Gates in 1970. At that time we predicted that if the level of CO2 and other greenhouse gases continued to rise the earth would warm. Now we have important information - glaciers in Antarctica are melting and that will raise sea levels by a meter by 2050." "Everyone should be very worried and we better get working to reduce CO2 emissions right away. This is not a political issue, not a Republican or Democratic issue. This is a real threat to the United States and we better get to fixing it now!" The data that has elicited this notice and remark from Spotila comes from Yale's Environment 360.
