demoleft's Journal - EuroDem from Italy - Nevada USA, Italy, UK: Global Warming deniers should start giving answers.

I posted something in a blog about the controversial changes in the weather occurring all over the world.
I suggested that maybe the Panel scientists were not wrong: Global Warming is here.
I was almost overwhelmed by deniers and skeptics saying it was just another way to drain people's pocket with new taxes.
(What the hell did that mean I don't know).

Now it's just time to make a list of the strange climate behavior in many places and ask deniers to start justifying it.
It's not about disasters in themselves. It's about their frequency, their continual and regular occurrence, their abysmal devastating power.
To this, as it appear, there's no reply. It's just fate (one of the million ways to play safe...)

Well then.
Now it's Nevada, USA. AP report from Reno.
"Nevada is among the states with the most dramatic increase in average temperatures the last 30 years, according to a new study that examines the impact of global warming across the country.
The average temperature in Reno from June through August last year was 75.6 degrees, almost 7 degrees above the 30-year average, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group reported. The gap was the biggest measured nationally."

And again, as G.W. is held responsible, the voice of the scientists comes clear and perfectly audible.

"'Global warming is rewriting the record books in Nevada and across the country,' said Jill Bunting, a spokesperson for U.S. PIRG.
'Unless our elected officials act now to curb global warming pollution, Nevada will see more severe heat waves that increase the risk for wildfires, drought, and heat-related illnesses' she said."

Now it's Italy that has had one of the warmest winters in its history. No rain, poor snow. Animals like bears refusing to go to sleep in their months and wandering preyed by insomnia.
Heavy rains in Spring favored the Country's water supply - a problem that might have caused damages in this very hot summer. Heavy rains, on the other hand, provoked damages in the north.

Now it's the UK flooding that is something someone links to Global Warming. No evidence of direct link is offered, though.
A BBC report dated 25 July 2007, says that,

1. on one hand, there "is a growing consensus, based on past climate records and other data, that greenhouse gas emissions are warming the Earth's climate", but
2. on the other hand, "as far as the droughts and floods are concerned, climate scientists have found it more difficult to attribute long-term trends in rainfall to human activities."
As it seems, "there is a growing consensus that the recent changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation will continue in the future, leading to winter storms in Europe tending to move further north and drier conditions in southern Europe."
So what's left to demonstrate is that human activity contributes (if it doesn't cause) this Oscillation.

Now, science is not perfect. Mistakes are always at hand.
But we, as simple persons living in simple communities (even in the biggest cities), we still have eyes to see and a sense to feel - like our past forefathers depending on the earth and watching the stars to predict the future. Their blood is in ours. We won't be fooled.
What I feel and I see is that what's happening is a mutation of nature and a response to our human activity in the last 40 years.

Global warming is here, I firmly believe. Evidence? Floods and heat waves of it available, everywhere in the world.

DUers, have you got more examples, even in your area? Post them. Let's collect floods of examples.
It's G.W. deniers that must explain now.
