The air is thick with climate change

Another piece of the puzzle, another bit of evidence to support the truth. The Earth is not only getting warmer, but more humid — and the global warming thesis just gets stronger and stronger.

Climate scientists have now seen the man-made fingerprint of global warming on 10 different aspects of Earth’s environment: surface temperatures, humidity, water vapor over the oceans, barometric pressure, total precipitation, wildfires, change in species of plants in animals, water run-off, temperatures in the upper atmosphere, and heat content in the world’s oceans.

“This story does now fit together; there are now no loose ends,” said Ben Santer, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Lab and author of the September study on moisture above the oceans. “The message is pretty compelling that natural causes alone just can’t cut it.”

Man is changing the climate and choking us all.

I know. Not a pretty picture, but that’s just the way it is.
