New USDA climate zone map reflects warming trends

Full story: www.usatoday.com

A new government map gives gardeners in many parts of the nation a chance to turn over a new leaf for the first time in decades.

Long-awaited changes unveiled Wednesday in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's climate zone guide show northward warming trends, while also targeting a few colder areas in the mountains. Growers in climates where warmer is the new norm can grow species of plants that would have perished in a colder zone.

Ask! any WOLLYBEAR!....the Woolly Bear Caterpillar is similarly celebrated for its mythical association to winter forecasting.After the caterpillars' eggs hatch in Fall, folklore suggests the severity of an upcoming winter can be gauged by observing the amount of black versus orange in the caterpillars' bands.

Grandmas LUMBAGO however is more accurate!..nice to know the same prognosticators of the absurd,predicted we were to go into an ICE AGE..in 1974!..so much for credibility!.FEAR MONGERS FLEECE the LOONS on this...Hot or Cold,GORE and his ilk get FILTHY RICH..Selling FEAR!!..in reality however ,we are still coming out of the last ICE AGE..a scant 10,000 yrs ago!...Enjoy It!!..If you live long enough??..It will get cold again with a new Ice age Growing....

A new batch of 5,000 emails among scientists central to the assertion that humans are causing a global warming crisis were anonymously released to the public yesterday, igniting a new firestorm of controversy nearly two years to the day after similar emails ignited the Climategate scandal.

Three themes are emerging from the newly released emails:(1) prominent scientists central to the global warming debate are taking measures to conceal rather than disseminate underlying data and discussions; (2) these scientists view global warming as a political “cause” rather than a balanced scientific inquiry and (3) many of these scientists frankly admit to each other that much of the science is weak and dependent on deliberate manipulation of facts and data.

Regarding scientific transparency, a defining characteristic of science is the open sharing of scientific data, theories and procedures so that independent parties, and especially skeptics of a particular theory or hypothesis, can replicate and validate asserted experiments or observations. Emails between Climategate scientists, however, show a concerted effort to hide rather than disseminate underlying evidence and procedures.

“I’ve been told that IPCC is above national FOI [Freedom of Information] Acts. One way to cover yourself and all those working in AR5 would be to delete all emails at the end of the process,” writes Phil Jones, a scientist working with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in a newly released email.

El Cid, are you a climatoligst, do you spend your time using SAS, S or R to make sense of the data. I'll bet you just believe what makes you feel good. The impact of human population and technology have had a profound impact on the planet. What is called 'globel warning' is based on tracking mean temps over time, base on recent measurements and ice cores. It is only one of the changes that appear to be due to human activity.
Reading a few emails or a google search will only scratch the surface. Of course you will find what you want to find. Getting data, analysing it and questioning everthing along the way is the only way to have a reasonable idea of what is going on. Many of those whe are unbiased think the data points to global warming. If you want an idea of the difficulties an politics of science look at the global dimming issue.

Amazing what with when America was crawling with bison,..shitting ,Farting,1,along with Africa.and its shit pile.It was CO2 up the KAZOO!. This before Human populations grew!...Who blamed them for this lunicy?..LOONs would have put CATALYTIC CONVERTERS up all their BUTTS,,,as they serousley proposed that INSANITY .

Five hundred million years ago carbon dioxide was 20 times more prevalent than today, decreasing to 4–5 times during the Jurassic period and then slowly declining with a particularly swift reduction occurring 49 million years ago

If The GREEN SLIME FREAKS are so worried???.Let The STOP BREATHING!...Its their HOT CO2 which is Polluting LIFE in general!

Well it will never work discussing actual science with gap toothed fundies.

Those emails do not constitute research. They do not constitute all or even a part of the scientific inquiry into climate change. Those emails - which betrayed a public relations concern for how research would be misused by corporate funded deniers - have been roundly condemned by the scientific community.

Scientific method doesn't mean perfect. It means testable.

The mechanism of greenhouse gases trapping more heat is not in dispute. The rise in greenhouse gases in the air is not in dispute. The rise in average global temperature is not in dispute. The filing of carbon sinks, the accelerating and now self accelerating ancillary larger effects near the poles are not in dispute.(Unfortunately there were a couple of scientific references there you won't be able to chaw, Cletus.) The more erratic weather patterns associated with global warming are becoming clear. The qualified scientific consenses - on the order of the consensus regarding Evolution - is clear.

You right wing brownshirts and Tea Baggers and evilgelicals just want to continue guzzling fuel like the obese, ignorant pigs you are. That's all your denial is about. Not science.

It astounds me how people are swayed by their superstitions, even in the face of reality.

This modern superstition is the "FOXLIES" line, that a cabal of evil scientists wish to "push" global warming, a 'theory' they made up, for some unsdisclosed purpose; for their own profit or glory.

This "anti-global warming" superstition is actually a version of Satanism, although most of the 'believers' of a global warming,(or Climate Change) hoax profess to be active Christians.

Well, Satanism is a Christian sub-cult; and that is their unknowing direction. Many who follow the cult of Climate Change denial also disparage the poor, and support the iniriatives of the very wealthy, especially to transfer the tax burden of government cost from the rich to the middle income.

All of these beliefs are actually in opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom they claim to be the source of their inspiration to follow this Satanist course.

It is, simply, superstition to deny Scientific Theory that we are undergoing Climate Change, and Global Warming at an accelerating pace.

I wonder if there is a level of Hell for these sinners who turn their back on Jesus, yet claim to be His great supporters, His "Religious Right?" They have the lesson, from Jesus' mouth, of Lazeres and the Rich man; but they would rather dredge up the situation specific ravings of Leviticus.

Yet they act like Simon Peter on the night that Jesus was seized.

Well, back to science. I too wish to disbelieve "CLIMATE CHANGE" but am unable to deny the overwhelming numbers, or the new weather and storm records set every day, and year for weird, abnormal weather.
Until a more workable theory emerges, supported by fact, I shall be forced to accept that our world is slowly turning into a much hotter place.

Good news for Canada. Theirs may be the 22nd Century.

Hey moron, the overwhelming scientific consensus is clear that climate change is human mediated. On the order of the consensus on the Theory of Evolution...which sadly Tea Baggers, constapo and talibangelicals likewise do not "believe in."

The issue is not about Van Jones or Al Gore publicizing the issue or about drug addict, Rush L's, emanations.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Sagittarius

You're feeling ultra optimistic today, which is great for summoning up the necessary energy to do what has to be done. But don't let it go to your head and convince you that you're capable of performing miracles. If you aren't behaving in this way you'll have to cope with someone who has a swollen head and thinks they're the cat's whiskers.
