A news about Climate Change, nasa and the National AtmosphericAdministration Says that 2014 was the warmest year on record since Record Keeping began in 1880. We will ask you to comment on that. Here is how we are dividing the lines today. If you believe in Climate Change, if you consider yourself a Climate Change skeptic, if youre not sure and you want to wait in any way, please call in. On a social media, you can post your thoughts on our twitter page, facebook, or you can email us. Some of the highlights from the findings that were released yesterday are highlighted in the papers of mourning. This is the star ledger out of new jersey, it provides a graphic. It says that for 2014, the earths it says that for 2014, the earths average 58. 24f. Nasa finding similar findings, 58. 42 overall. They say that compared to averages from 1951 to 1980, it means that earth is warmer 1. 22f. Those are just some of the findings. Also, a map showing the warming patterns. Here to explain more is emily. Good morning to you. Could you tells a little bit behind the findings . Guest sure, i can tell you how they came to this. When they say that the average of 58. 24, they are averaging that across the globe for all land and ocean surfaces. What theyre also saying is that this is stacking the evidence the earth is warming, this is the latest evidence in a trend. Host compare this to records that are kept back in 1880s. Guest thats right. Host tell us about areas of the world that show Warming Trends more than others, there are red spots, there are blue spots. Half of the United States is red, and half is blue. Guest the western United States was warmer than average, the eastern was not. That is because of weather patterns. It does not mean that the earth is not warming, it just means that the eastern u. S. Got the cold side of the weather pattern. I know that sometimes people say, we have a really cold winter, or was really cold the other day, how could the earth be warming. That is not the entire globe, that is just us on the east side of the u. S. Host these reports show that temperatures are rising. Thats because the water in the ocean, does he give you a definite reason of why these trends are happening . Guest that gets complicated. Signed to say that this is man made. We are proof that Greenhouse Gas emissions are causing this. If you look back at the 1880s, you can see that in the past 36 years we have been warmer than average. 2014 was the warmest year since 1880. That is a nice headline. What theyre saying is, this is not changing. This is the line up since the mid 1900s. I think the last call this record day with 1911, sunday that. Host something significant is that a phenomenon called el nino did not exist in 2014. Guest the next two warmest years, 2005 and 710 were el nino years. This year was not. What makes that significant is that this year was warm without the benefit of el nino, which basically comes hot air into the atmosphere it helps to a long. The years that are the warmest gain extra boost from el nino. This was not year was not the case. Thats not to say that all record breaking years are el nino years. One federal scientist said that the next el nino year, he would not be surprised that breaks this years record. Host as it comes to this information being released, has there been any information from members of congress . Guest so far probably because it was released on a friday, there has not been too much specific reaction. Recently, republicans in congress, even those who youd call sort of on the side of lets not rush to pass Climate Change legislation have told this line saying, yes, the earths changing but we will leave that to the scientists. I think just the other day, one senator from alaska has said, yes, the earth is changing, but that is for scientists to decide how much. As far as the specific report, what i think it will do is add another piece to democrats and activist saying this is happening, we need to act on it. Also, internationally, there are talks to come to an agreement to decrease Greenhouse Gas emissions across the world. I think this will planes as well. Host emily yehle writes about these issues. Showing us the warming [c trend on earth. Now to your thoughts. The larger issues of Climate Change. Here is how you can make your thoughts known if you tend to believe in Climate Change. If you consider yourself a skeptic. If youre not sure. You can also make your thoughts known on twitter and send us an email. Lets hear from tom, who considers himself not sure. Caller good morning. We have a brisk 15 below in vermont this morning. I know it is colder in winter and warmer in summer. Im not sure if this is changing or not. I have followed it pretty closely. It seems to me that most of the people that are saying that man is affecting Climate Change seems to be people who work for the government. You know, different institutes, and have now gone off on their own. They seem to be saying that it is basically the universe the solar system that is having an effect on the climate, and not so much man. It will be interesting to see what shakes out in the next two years. I tend to believe that it is solar related right now. I wish we could get both sides to sit in front of us and debate it squarely. It seems like they will run off one side will run off, basically the Global Warming people and they will not be confronted by people who think it is natural. Host see you think some sort of consensus could be reached on this issue . Caller if we can get both people to sit down and talk in public about it, i think we could. Host tom from burn marks saying he is not sure. Our next caller is from georgia, and a believer in Climate Change. Caller all of the Scientific Evidence seems to be pointing towards that. Not just that, there is a trend over many years showing there is a warming of the earth, and there will be consequences for that. I believe that our government is already planning, as far as the military goes, and how they can respond to some of these changes over time. In the event that we need to be able to stay on top of this economically. I believe that the reason why our representatives arent really admitting Climate Change is the fact is because they have an incentive to ignore the problem. They have to try to make sure that their donors a lot of them in the oil industry make sure that they continue to make profits. Acknowledging the Greenhouse Gases is bad for us is not good for the dollar. Host lorraine from new jersey. She considers herself not sure about the issue. Caller yes, i would like to make a comment about the Climate Changers. They never consider all the grazing of the beef. They do not talk about that. It is very important that if we had more of a plant based diet in the works, and not so much beef, and all the animals that we have to graze, and give hormones to. It would be much better if there was not so much grazing and me eating in this country. They never mention that. The Climate Change is never talk about that. Host you say youre not sure, what you think then when you see these numbers being released showing at shred and with 2014 being the wor year warmest year on record . Caller my comment would be they do not consider all the animals. Host correct, but you believe the numbers . Caller maybe. They do not use any of these animals. Host walter, from South Carolina, he considers himself a believer. Caller listen, i cannot believe of the last person said. I know that methane plays a big part in Climate Change, but a lot of people forget that back during the revolutionary war, we had the winter without the summer. That was because of the eruption of the volcano. Listen, i do not think theres any way in the world the cars could fluctuate as much as cows can. The reason why we have Climate Change is because we are all addicted to fossil fuels. Were not going to be anywhere close to being off of fossil fuels until we get the money out of congress. We have so much money going into congress for oil, we will never change. Host when you hear about the rising of temperatures, do you get alarmed by that . Caller alarmed by it. Man, i can look around and tell you, every year since i have lived in South Carolina im 53. Since i was 13 years old, we can even grow peaches anymore. I see Climate Change all around me. The people who were Climate Change deniers, they are just worried about getting another donation further calls. Host we had to buy the lines by believers, skeptics, and those who are not sure. Again, new information coming out showing a warming trend with 2014 being the warmest year on record since 1880. You can give us your thoughts on those numbers, or you the larger issue of Climate Change. Joe from maryland, a skeptic. Caller one reason im a skeptic is because a lot of these governmental government scientists they are saying Climate Change is rising, and all that. They dont say that, they dont get their funding. A lot of it is money. If they say, yes, the climate is going down last year, the east coast was cool as anything, the Arctic Circle had more eyes last year than it has in years theyre saying, were going up by 1. They have to do that, its funding. Host evan from new york, a believer. Caller i just want to make a couple points. The first one is the number of parts per million in the atmosphere of co2. For 10,000 years, we have been able to detect through ice samples that the amount of parts per million of co2 has varied from 182 280 180 to 280. We have consistently for the past few years popped 400. Typically this happened at the end of winter. It is based on the beginning of the spring when biosynthesis starts when things start training green and the northern hemisphere. Up until that point, theres very little biosynthesis. As a result, were not putting out a lot of oxygen, because the plants are growing. For the last three years, weve been over 400. If you figure that the median is 230, and we are not consistently at 400, that is a number of you cannot deny. Host that was evident from new york. The House Speaker john boehner, as republicans were on their retreat in hershey, pennsylvania was asked about Climate Change. [video clip] certainly we have had changes in our climate, i will let the scientist the date debate that change. For us, it addressing Climate Change means killing american jobs. Caller the numbers are pretty accurate. The climate has been changing for the last however many number of years that the earth has been in existence, but climate has been changing. Im more worried about the fertilizers and stuff that we use. We had an algae bloom in lake erie, worse than weve ever seen. I wish they could take a real serious look at it. And we could evolve and adapt to whatever comes be a cold or heat. No matter what it is, we will have problems. We had an ice age for how many years people starved. The funny part of it is scientist try to develop new products that are not affected by insects so much, people dont want to eat it because it is different. Host chris from milwaukee, wisconsin. Caller everybodys driving vehicles. That puts a lot of emissions into the atmosphere. You have to think about what that does to the world. It melts ice caps. Icecaps go out into the ocean and melts off. That misses the whole circulation of the oceans up. That will mess up Climate Change. Places will get colder this post be warmer. Places this mostly warmer will get colder. We need to do something. Host what you think is the best reaction from the federal government on this issue . Caller the best reaction . They just need to look at what is in front of them. Look at what is happening and not to look at it, and say, yes, it is happening. Host the training of Syrian Rebels, new information coming out. Writing about it in the New York Times this morning. About 1000 soldiers will be sent to saudi arabia, qatar. It would bring the number of americans working to train Syrian Rebels to around 1000 people. They will deploy in the next 4 to 6 weeks. If the training goes well, troops should be back on the battlefield by the end of the year. Training personnel from two other nations will also be involved, he did not specify which countries. Whats your next from wayne on this topic of Climate Change. 2014 being the warmest year on record. Caller to me Climate Change is the biggest hoax ever put on the American People in this country. It is the biggest lie. There is no Climate Change. Im 60 years old and the climate has not change in the 16 years ive been here. There is no proof of Climate Change. The north pole is frozen about 2 miles deep. This is a bunch of baloney. On your show, there was someone who could answer any questions about. All these people calling in here, they must be nerds, or something. They just believe all this garbage. People believe all this garbage. Obama started all this mess. I never heard anything with bush with Climate Change. We have to have energy, we cannot ride our cars, we could not go anywhere, we would be paralyzed. Every world needs energy. Host our next caller from hawaii. Caller it was about two years ago i think with us 2012, and 30,000 scientists said that there is no Global Warming. Host so you believe those scientists over other scientist who say that the earth is warming . Caller i think theyre trying to put a fun together obama is trying to put a fun together to raise money. He does not want to hear any Climate Change deniers. When you think about it, why is it that they change Global Warming to Climate Change. The globe was not warming. It was not holding up. Their whole concept. I believe they are swaying the scientist to not express the truth. They are holding back with the real truth is. If 30,000 scientists have said there is any, i believe that. Host were you skeptic of Climate Change before those scientists weighed in . If so, what made you a skeptic . Caller what made me a skeptic is who knows this. When you talk about climate, its the people who study it. I believe forbes is a reputable magazine that they do their homework, and do not just interview anybody. If there was a study done that 30,000 climate scientists said this. Host alongside the story on Climate Change, the story occupying most of the papers headlines the Supreme Court deciding to take up a case to look at same sex marriage. This would signal a final chapter on gay rights advocates. Ohio, kentucky, michigan, and tennessee the court accepted challenges to same sex marriage bans in the states. To Climate Change new information from two organizations take a look and showing that when it comes to 2014, the warmest year on record, one of them is nasa. Gov aand the other is noaa. Gov. We are asking you about the numbers, and the idea of Climate Change in general. Give us a call. David from arkansas, hello. Caller as usual, we have a big divide between the believers and nonbelievers. I have several conversations with people i explained it in a very simple way. You have signed is on the right, scientists on the left, believers and nonbelievers. I explained like this using a water well as an example of the earth and its atmosphere, if you were to go out to your well cant really figure out a good way to say this relieve yourself and your well every day. Your water may not taste find that day or the next day, but sooner or later, your water will taste funny. What we put into our atmosphere will come back to us. As far as mr. Bains comments about hurting jobs i look at Climate Change as a way for america to turn around and make jobs. Detroit could be rebuilt by using electric cars. Host what you think should be the federal governments response if indeed the Scientists Say what they say and earth is warming . Caller i think the federal government should use this, as i was saying, as a way to start a jobs program. To go full tilt into it. Even if Climate Change is proven wrong, by driving to rebuild our infrastructure, create electrical cars, all this would create jobs. Host tony from louisiana, not sure about Climate Change. Caller hi. I agree with so many of your callers. The one from arkansas and michigan. Weve seen so much in our lifetimes. I graduated from high school in the 70s, in the middle of oklahoma. My graduating class had 19 people in it. We did not have a lot of traffic, nor pollution, overcrowding. There was an abundance there. It seems to be, coming out of all the revolutions, and social things that were said in the 60s and 70s there was a little voice about population control. Somehow, that got turned around and became an offensive thing to say that. The backlash was to overpopulate in one area, and go vote. We offended someone, some m
