Today most of Greenland is a white land of permafrost put simply a white desert therefore how can the climate be warmer now as we know the Vikings named the land greenland because it was green and they could grow wine and food there?

Yet again the famous hockey stick chart link below doesn’t make any sense??

I need ways to conserve water on a ranch.
(Given the geography and climate of the Blue Mountains, come up with strategies to preserve water when the climate is getting hotter and drier.)

The "Cash for Clunkers" program ended this week but reportedly consumers bought almost 700,000 new vehicles. DO you think this program truly replaced gas-guzzlers with vehicles that are that much more petroleum saving? Do you think the government truly had the environment and climate in mind or do you think this was just another form of bail-out for car manufacturers?

Climategate reveals that using tree ring data is not always reliable, the temperature calculated from tree rings didn’t match up to actual instrument readings, that’s why they threw it out. Makes a lot of sense, I’d do the same. Today scientist know precisely what the variables are but for some unknown reason they are unable to calculate the temps using tree rings. However they don’t question the reliability of data prior to instrument readings, when we knew less about the environment of those times than we do today.

So what makes tree ring data such a reliable source of past climate?

Assuming global warming is currently dooming our planet to a ‘Mad Max’ like existence. What is the most appropriate climate for the planet? Did we pass it 10yrs ago? 15yrs? 100yrs? When do we know we have reached a balance between human existence and nature?

Please only answer if you know FOR SURE.

PLEASE HELP! I’m doing a presentation on climate next friday, and I am doing it in front of some people I love, so I need to make it good!

I need to find out a news story on coastal environment and i can’t seem to find anything of much use on the web so help is very much appreciated.
Thanks for your answer but it didn’t have to be a good thing, it can be bad. Sorry for the confusion, i just need any news story on climate environment.

Is there any scientific evidence that could be presented to a global warming believer that would change their minds?

What kind of evidence would be needed to show that believers that the climate always changes, if it’s not getting warmer the climate is cooling, or if the climate isn’t cooling, then it’s warming, there is no such thing as a static climate.

Or is their faith more like a religious faith where the strength of what you believe in is enough to make it true?

What was the geography and climate like in the Middle East during the time of Jesus? Did there use to be alot of vegetation?
