Acceleration in global warming is a long-term trend that has not shown any cooling reversals since the 1970s with an overall rise of 0.7 C in global mean temperature since the advent of automobile carbon emissions. The same trend is shown in the rising incidents of weather extremes and disruption in normal weather patterns like flooding, drought, early snow melts, wildfires, "Snowmageddon" of 2010, sporadic periods of low hurricane activity interspersed with more intense superstorms, glacial melts, wetter winters, drier summers and such. Resulting environmental impacts from major alteration of ecological systems hold disastrous potentials.
Scientists will be the first to admit their sky-is-falling parameters are uncertain, but tend to agree that the panic button should be pushed somewhere between a 2C- and 4C-rise in global mean temperatures. That when rising sea levels bury major coastal cities (and their support of various human population economies) and major agricultural systems collapse.

[ In Reply To ..]He was stating, without boasting, that the absolutely most intelligent minds in the world believe in climate change and that those that don't ascribe to an absolutely farcical fantasy.
Now, that wouldn't have gone over very well in the speech, would it? He would have been accused of being condescending, so he expected people to just understand the sarcasm of "I know scientists" and the slight jab at the Republicans who state "I don't know science," but I know this....
LOL - he was trying to dumb it down so the GOP - could understand & they still couldnt!
[ In Reply To ..]Great minds........
At least he believes in science, which is more - than anyone can say for the GOP.

Science. It's a good thing. Learn about it. - Sheesh

For Michelle Obama, 2014 Has Been A Year Of Racial StirringDec 29, 2014
If you were inclined to sympathize with Michelle Obama and conclude that her recent comments on racist behavior in Target were misconstrued, you’d be wise to consider the First Lady’s history. Michelle Obama’s complete u-turn when describing an interaction with a white lady asking for her help reaching groceries is not the first time she has used her status to misguidedly cry racism. Indeed, in May, the Inquisitr reported how Obama urged high school students to monitor their family and ...

Ten Things To Expect From Obamacare In 2014Oct 17, 2013
Obamacare's health exchanges opened on October 1.
