Even if you stabilize temperature by 2100 sea levels will keep rising for many centuries after that says Gavin Schmidt a NASA climate modeler at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies who specializes in paleoclimate data.
The last report kind of punting on the whole sea level thing has been the driver of an enormous amount of effort in ice-sheet modeling says Schmidt.
And if CO2 was the driver of temperature shouldn't we have seen a larger increase in temperature?

Let's make vehicles powered by this meat. Give it some caffeine when you really want to go fast.
This is What's Causing Climate Changeif you tried to list the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions you might say cars or cows or airplanes.
Greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning are broken further down into type (coal oil natural gas) and then even further to specifics like cars airplanes and industries like paper or iron production.
Cars are predictably the biggest individual contributor. But the next biggest? Deforestation. Chopping down forests doesn't just make our land less pretty
and huge spaces paved for cars is also the biggest contributor to forest and green space destruction.
It takes a football field of asphalt for every 5 cars and suburban sprawl chopping down Orange groves forests farms etc is only possible with Auto Addicted transit.<

#Âroads garages petrol stations and parking make up between one-third and one-half of the total space in US cities.
The two million cars added to the US automotive fleet each year require asphalting space equivalent to 400000 football fields paving over prime farmland.
Parking is an omnipresent visual blight on the urban landscape and the car promotes an ugly urban housing sprawl.
Actually fortunately since 2006 when the US hit Peak Cars the number of cars in the US has been declining.
But tragically China and India's increases in Auto Addiction are one of the major factors leading to their huge increases in usage of dwindling Peak Oil.
This article is WRONG. Simply cutting down trees does not increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
According to the Goddard Institute at NASA and the NOAA they were the warmest globally since 1880 as measured by instruments. http://www. noaanews. noaa. gov/stories2011/20110112 globalstats. htmlthe dataset they use to determine land surface temperatures is from NOAA (and other) weather station measurements.

#Why Don't We Have More Drones Monitoring Wildfires? Remote-controlled drones are much better at flying through smoke than human pilots:
their infrared eyes can track the edge of a fire even through the thickest air.
When the Forest Service asked the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to use unmanned aerial systems to monitor wildfires the FAA said no
so long as an operator on board another aircraft could see it at all times. That undermines the whole reason for using a drone of course
In 2015 the FAA will pass new rules opening airspace to far more unmanned vehicles and should have guidelines in place for how firefighters and law enforcement officials use drones.
Flying through smoke is a great task for a drone but requiring another plane to follow along behind it defeats the whole point of using an unmanned plane in the first place.
Flying tracking the edges of forest fires should be one of the least controversial uses of drones ever.
Greg Walker the director of the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aerial Systems Integration preparing a drone for launching.
and perhaps replace manned surveillance aircraft potentially reducing the risk to both pilots and firefighters.
But the effort is being slowed by Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The use of drones in open airspace is regulated by the F. A a
If distance or the smoke of a wildfire obscures a drone from observers on the ground a piloted aircraft must be sent aloft to keep an eye on it.
âÂ#Âoein terms of federal regulations right now we can t use U. A s. s out there except on a very limited basisã¢Â# said Ron Hanks the aviation safety
Rusty Warbis the flight operations manager at the Bureau of Land Management said the process of approving individual trial flights was âÂ#Âoecumbersomeã¢Â# though improving.
The evaluations by wildfire experts are part of larger questions on how to incorporate these aircraft originally used for military purposes into civilian missions.
Their potential usefulness particularly their ability to pinpoint hot spots and fly in thick smoke that would ground other aircraft was shown in an Alaskan fire nearly four years ago.
The fire which burned over 447000 acres roughly half the size of Rhode island northeast of Fairbanks was generating so much smoke that no planes were permitted to fly overhead.
âÂ#Âoethe smoke was so thick no one was flying that s why they came to usã¢Â# said Rosanne Bailey a retired Air force brigadier general who is the deputy director of the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration
for that flight in 2009; the process is now down to about 24 hours. But privacy concerns are slowing the integration of unmanned vehicles into the firefighters tool kit said Senator Mark Begich a freshman Democrat from Alaska.
âÂ#Âoefirefighting is a great example of how unmanned aircraftã¢Â# are able âÂ#Âoeto determine the range of a fire the intensity of a fire without jeopardizing livesã¢Â#Â
âÂ# The reason cited most often by firefighting experts is the requirement that the aircraft be followed
The Army has lent the Interior department 41 small drone aircraft that have been used for environmental monitoring including tracking migratory wildfowl.
what we could do aerially against a helicopter or a light fixed-wing airplane. âÂ# John Gould the aviation chief at the B. L. M. who along with Mr. Hanks is based at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise Idaho had a similarly cautious perspective.

#NASA Invests In 3-D Food Printer For Mars Missionsit would take a lot of food to get astronauts to Mars but
NASA is funding an ambitious 3-D printing food project that wants to make that happen Quartz reports.
The space agency's handing over to mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor and his company Systems & Materials Research Corporation to spend building a prototype universal food synthesizer.
The cartridges would all have a 30-year shelf-life enough time for say a trip to Mars. The astronauts can switch to real cooking once they get there.
I can imagine a group of hungry astronauts crowded around a printer as it slowly extrudes their food layer by layer.
The chubby astronauts would be able to live off their stored reserves of fat and would only need water
Fat astronauts would also be accustom to spending extended periods of time lying in a seat.
And most importantly fat astronauts would have the naturally happy type of personality needed for long duration space flights.
#Space Tourism's Black Carbon Problemthis story is part of a special Popularscience. com series on the future of energy.
Virgin Galactic proudly touts the fact that each of the passengers who will fly into suborbital space on its Spaceship2 will emit less carbon dioxide than a typical air passenger on a flight from New york to London.
But some scientists say carbon dioxide emissions are irrelevant to measuring the greenhouse gas footprint of the nascent space tourism industry.
The reason black carbon doesn't wreak more havoc on the environment is that it has a short lifetime in the lower atmosphere precipitation washes away black carbon emissions from planes and other sources within a matter of weeks.
Moroever rockets produce over 1000 times more black carbon per unit of fuel than standard aircraft.
So in 2010 Toohey and Martin Ross the head of the Center for Launch Emissions Analysis and Research at Aerospace Corporation and Michael Mills of the National Center for Atmospheric Researchcrunched the numbers to estimate the black
carbon effects of a hypothetical 1000 flight-per year industry. They measured the black carbon's radiative forcing âÂ#Âa metric for how much extra energy the Earth
In contrast the radiative forcing of the black carbon placed for just a few weeks into the atmosphere by jets is less than 1/10 of that of its carbon dioxide.**
***Here's where space tourism comes into play: The number of space launches annually around the world numbers around 70 today
but that figure could rise drastically as private companies jockey to turn space tourism into routine adventure travel.
The aerospace research firm Futron forecasts that by 2021 the space tourism market will consist of 13000 potential customers with possible revenues of roughly $650 million per year.
airlines model. That creates 1000 opportunities to shoot black carbon directly into the stratosphere. The amount of black carbon emitted during combustion On earth
or in the trophosphere where airlines fly tends to be low because of the relatively rich supply of oxygen.
The Federal Aviation Administration (F. A a.)the organization responsible for assessing environmental impacts and deciding whether to grant licenses to launch vehicles into space says the effects of black carbon in the stratosphere are unclear.
Although black carbon is known to be a short-term climate forcer research on the potential climate change impacts of black carbon from rockets is in a very early stage
and any projections of impacts are speculative writes George Nield the F. A a.'s associate administrator for commercial space transportation in an email.
The space-tourism industry has downplayed black carbon's potential harm. Virgin Galactic declined repeated inquiries to comment.
Andrew Nelson the chief operating officer of XCOR Aerospace which is currently selling $95000 tickets for suborbital flights says that the blend of kerosene
and liquid oxygen in his XR-5k18 rocket engine powering its Lynx suborbital spaceplane will emit much less in the way of aromatic hydrocarbons than traditional kerosene-based rocket fuel.
And he says the XR-5k18 will burn much more cleanly than the solid rocket boosters used in the Space shuttle or hybrid rocket engines
How many tourists do these scientists think we are talking about here? Unless we fly them into orbit one by one for twenty years
That's the only way space tourism will ever kick off. Rocket propelled anything will soon be nothing more than bright loud and noxious memories.
If black carbon is such a problem why didn't they mention it during NASA flights?
Even if the above mentioned transportation systems are designed not for using hydrogen as a fuel I am happy that the Skylon spaceplane that Reaction engines is developing is.@
@killert and dagwood52 Space tourism companies are striving to become a regular thing in society's vacation plans.
Current space flight government and private is too intermittent to be too much of and issue.
These scientists are just pointing out the potential problems before the space tourism industry is large enough to cause large scale problems.
and acceleration that would destroy the vehicle long before it left the end of the rail.
You have to have continuous force on the spacecraft if you want a realistic shot at getting it into orbit.
Ion engines just don't have needed the thrust to leave earth. They are great for long-distance travel in space
but don't have enough thrust to even consider as launch vehicles. The only real and feasible option for satisfying the long-term requirements of drastically cutting the price to put anything into space deal with environmental issues
and minimize space junk is a space elevator. The technologies needed for such an endeavor are just now getting to the point where it could be technically feasible in the next decade.
Spaceship 2 uses a hybrid motor with the solid fuel being rubber. You can practically see the carbon output on that thing so much
http://www. thesun co uk/sol/homepage/news/1752963/Top-25-things-NASA-has done-National-aeronautics-and-space-administration-celebrates-50th-anniversary. htmlthese are only a few benefits of seeking solutions outside
The International Space station has made some significant steps forward in sustainability after all you have to be sustainable to live in such a harsh environment.
Just what are required emergency trauma intervention certifications for these spacetaxi drivers? Will they be required to be bilingual?
but it will lead you down a road you don't want to be on. A fertilized egg or an embryo or even a fetus have the POTENTIAL to develop into a person given the right circumstances
Note the nonretractable landing gear and externally carried missiles. However stealthy the Hamaseh's bulbous head may appear exposed landing gear missiles
and a push propeller are the opposite of stealth. Why? Because they stick out from the drone in a way that catches radio waves
and makes them visible to radar. For contrast here is the U s. Navy's state-of-the-art X-47b stealth drone in flight.
With the landing gear retracted into a smooth belly there are hardly any broad perpendicular edges for enemy radar to detect.
and it's propelled by an integrated jet engine not an exterior propeller. The X-47b carries weapons in two internal bays.
This wouldn't be the first time Iran announced a stealth vehicle or a drone with capabilities it couldn't prove.
@Greenmatrixthe Iranians'captured'the Lockheed martin RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicle after it malfunctioned and crash landed in their country

#NASA Scientists Observe The Brightest Explosion Everif you weren't looking at the constellation Leo very early on Saturday morning you probably missed the brightest explosion NASA scientists have observed ever.
Imagine compressing a weird space-apple from all sides until a jet of space-apple juice explodes out of a tiny point before the apple turns into a black apple hole.
NASA says they expect to find that supernova within a couple of weeks. NASA via Smithsonian 35 billion times brighter than visible light.
Wat? beam of radiation moving at speeds about as close as you can get to the speed of light um considering that its a gamma ray burst
Imagine compressing a weird space-apple from all sides until a jet of space-apple juice explodes out of a tiny point before the apple turns into a black apple holei disagree.
Light travels at the speed of light. Period. Events generating GRBS will also tend to be accompanied by hyper-relativistic plasma jets
which do travel close to but not quite at the speed of light. Maybe that's what the author was thinking about
but this article isn't talking about plasma jets. Nisi credideritis non intelligetis.@@Moose Billisarius;
No experiments have proven that the speed of light is not a constant for particles. Also that gravity from high mass objects between here and there effects particles flowing from there to here pulling them all over the place
and cleaning up afterwards is much more time consuming than the 5 minutes it takes to get to Mcdonald's or Subway.

the same shmucks who argue cow frts are making the world marm up also argue the carbon shifting by electric vehicles..
it's impossible to make a gas/diesel car solar powered...also the utility companies can
a gas powered car bought today will only get worse milage as it ages..the electricity grid will only get BETTER. electric batteries can
and are recycled from e-cars and may and are replaced with better batteries after 10yrs the toxins inside are recovered instead of being dumped into the air out the exhaust pipe...
and preach electric cars instead...if you must open your mouth at all after this...redman. ca Your last request is denied lol.
and also agriculture) but more industries like tourism and fisheries would improve. Of course this is only based on research for a single park
And it was a tourism park. Most logging doesn't occur alongside tourism. Finally I disagree with the findings
because the logging accomplishes something else. It has people in the forest moving around and clearing brush.
1. Eco-tourism will become a major source of revenue. 2. Investment in carbon sequestration by industrial nations looking to offset their CO2 production would also be a major source of revenue.
but we also manage to have more trees today than a century ago as brian144 pointed Out in Sumatra it's far easier to export trees than it is to import tourists to offset the value of the trees not being harvested.
what the overall difference would be between the increase in tourism dollars and the cost of more expensive paper products.
