Global Warming Lecture by Michael Hammerschlag- Kiev Mohyla Univ
ARE WE COOKED?- Global Warming Worse Than You Think 8 Recent Scientific Findings each show warming
will be much worse than worst case estimate;
850,000 yr old 4 km Antarctic ice cores prove
radical temperature changes 5-12C happened
as fast as 3 years; CO2 generation exploding from Chinese (+ Indian)
coal power plants; Methane's threat from
melting tundra and gigantic ocean bottom
methane hydrate deposits (twice all other fossil fuels combined!); High altitude sulfur from commercial jets
have cooled the whole earth 1 C- so real
global warming is over double what we see, and airline collapses could instantly raise
worldwide temps; 1/3 of Gulf Stream not flowing North; 1/3 of warming from black atmospheric soot
from soaring coal burning; Catastrophic ice sheet collapse into deep
ocean could make worldwide killer tsunamis; 8 Feedback loops multiply effects many
fold, inc. ice pack going from 90% reflecting
to 80% absorbing; CO2 in oceans released as it gets warmer; increased
CO2 in ocean dissolving limestone shells, deforesting
a WA state every year; Interviews w 5 top GW scientists fm Nasa
