Global Warming Is Happening

... and yet the Republicans still deny it and/or refuse to do anything to stop it. Despite this, the MSM still claims that the Republicans are strong on national defense.

How about this, MSM? Republicans are stupid on national defense.

They waste billions of dollars with ineffecient and illogical defense spending like the missile defense system that has failed every test in its history. Then, when it comes to national defense against the damaging effects of global warming, they refuse to spend a dime. They will deny it, ignore it, lie about it, or pretend to care about it, but ultimately the result is the same: nothing gets done.

Well, soon, they will no longer have any constituents who put up with their destructive stalling because everyday more proof of global warming is manifested:

World enduring weather extremes

Wednesday, August 08, 2007Marc KaufmanWashington Post
Washington - A monsoon dropped 14 inches of rain in one day across many parts of South Asia this month. Germany had its wettest May on record, and April was the driest there in a century. Temperatures in Bulgaria reached 113 degrees last month and 90 degrees in Moscow in late May, shattering longtime records.

The year still has almost five months to go, but it has already experienced a range of weather extremes that the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday are well outside the historical norm and are a precursor of much greater weather variability as global warming transforms the planet.

The warming trend confirmed in February by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - based on the finding that 11 of the past 12 years had higher average ground temperatures than any others since formal temperature recording began - appears to have continued with a vengeance into 2007. The WMO reported that January and April were the warmest worldwide ever recorded.

Swifter decline for coral reefs

Coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans are disappearing faster than had previously been thought, a scientific study has shown.

Nearly 1,554 sq km (600 sq miles) of reef have disappeared each year since the 1960s - twice the speed at which rainforest is being lost.

[...]The UN says that a third of the world's coral reefs have already died. By 2030, that figure is predicted to be closer to 60%.
