Human Activity is causing Global Warming!
Federal Court said Bush Violated Environmental Law
U.S. District Court Judge Sandra Armstrong ruled that the Bush Administration violated a 1990 law that REQUIRES an updated plan every three years on Climate Change. The last update was issued in 2003. She ordered Bush to submit the required plan by March 2008.
The results from research on ice cores that were drilled 2,000 feet down in the Antarctica with ice that was 800,000 years old show the rate of global warming is many times faster then at any time during the past 800,000 years. They also dated the start of this rapid global warming to the start of the Industrial Revolution. The research also was able to establish the types of pollution that was captured in the frozen ice cores. In the early part of the industrial revolution the pollutants were burning wood and coal. In the period from about 1910 the other major pollutant was the result of the internal combustion engine.
These results now document that the rate of Global warming is off the scale compared with any increase in the 800,000 years prior to about 1880. It also shows that the types of pollutants are being produced by human activity. The study said even if we reverse our dumping pollution into the atmosphere it will take a long time to see any reversal of the global warming that is taking place. The consequences of this global warming will be catastrophic on both the rise of the world’s oceans and in weather changes that this warming will cause!
