Federal Climate Change Report Released for Public Comment Declares: Global Warming ‘Already Affecting the American People’

Jan. 15, 2013 12:12pm Liz Klimas

Draft of the Third National Climate Assessment Report Released for Public Comment

The National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee has released for public comment its draft report regarding the effects of climate change on Americans.

The purpose of the third National Climate Assessment report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, once finalized later this year, will be to “show what is actually happening [with regard to climate change] and what it means for peoples’ lives, livelihoods, and future” based on observations and research.

In a blog post on the White House’s website announcing the release of the draft report, NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, who is leaving the agency in February, and Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy John Holdren wrote that although the report, a scientific document, does not make policy recommendations, it is expected to be used by the public and stakeholders looking for information about how to handle climate change.

In its introduction the report states that the effects of climate change, once thought to be in the distant future, have “now moved firmly into the present.”

“Climate change is already affecting the American people,” the draft executive summary begins. “Certain types of weather events have become more frequent and/or intense, including heat waves, heavy downpours, and, in some regions, floods and droughts. Sea level is rising, oceans are becoming more acidic, and glaciers and arctic sea ice are melting. These changes are part of the pattern of global climate change, which is primarily driven by human activity.”

As Justin Gillis pointed out on the New York Times Green blog, the draft by the 60-person committee “minces no words” with its “aggressive language about climate change.” Gillis also noted that the government did not issue the 1,193 page report with advance notice to journalists as it usually does.

“If it survives in substantially its current form, the document will be a stark warning to the American people about what has already happened and what is coming,” Gillis wrote.

Before getting into what are and would be the effects of climate change, the summary states that the evidence “abounds” to support that the changes are in fact occurring.

Here are the observations of climate change in the draft report by region:

Northeast: Heat waves, coastal flooding due to sea level rise and storm surge, and river flooding due to more extreme precipitation events are affecting communities in the region.
Southeast: Decreased water availability, exacerbated by population growth and land- use change, is causing increased competition for water; risks associated with extreme events like hurricanes are increasing.
Midwest: Longer growing seasons and rising carbon dioxide levels are increasing yields of some crops, although these benefits have already been offset in some instances by occurrence of extreme events such as heat waves, droughts, and floods.
Great Plains: Rising temperatures are leading to increased demand for water and energy and impacts on agricultural practices.
Southwest: Drought and increased warming have fostered wildfires and increased competition for scarce water resources for people and ecosystems.
Northwest: Changes in the timing of streamflow related to earlier snowmelt have already been observed and are reducing the supply of water in summer, causing far-reaching ecological and socioeconomic consequences.
Alaska: Summer sea ice is receding rapidly, glaciers are shrinking, and permafrost is thawing, causing damage to infrastructure and major changes to ecosystems; impacts to Alaska native communities are increasing.
Hawaii: Increasingly constrained freshwater supplies, coupled with increased temperatures, are stressing both people and ecosystems, and decreasing food and water security.
Coasts: Coastal lifelines, such as water supply infrastructure and evacuation routes, are increasingly vulnerable to higher sea levels and storm surges, inland flooding, and other climate-related changes.
Oceans: The oceans are currently absorbing about a quarter of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere and over 90% of the heat associated with global warming, leading to ocean acidification and the alteration of marine ecosystems.

The draft report acknowledges that while natural factors do contribute to climate change, it says human activity is the driving force at present day. Heat-trapping gas produced as a result of human activity, the report says, has committed the Earth to a certain amount of warming that cannot be reversed. But how much more warming will occur, it states, depends on future emissions and climate sensitivity to those emissions.

“Everyone on Earth will be affected by the changes that are occurring,” the report reads. “To limit risks and maximize opportunities associated with the changes, people everywhere need to understand how climate change is going to affect them and what they can do to cope. There is significant likelihood that climate change will affect ecosystems and human systems – such as agricultural, transportation, water resources, and health infrastructure – in ways we are only beginning to understand. Moreover, climate change can interact with other stressors, such as population increase, land use change, and economic and political changes, in ways that we may not be able to anticipate, compounding the risks.

“Although some impacts will likely be beneficial within limited sectors and regions, overall these changes will be costly. We do not have a choice about whether we will adapt, the choice is between proactive adaptation (where we plan ahead to limit the impacts) or reactive adaptation (where responses occur after the damage is already unavoidable).”

The 90-day public comment period on the draft National Climate Change Assessment report will end in April 12.

The full PDF of the draft report is available here. Previous assessment reports were issued in 2000 and 2009.

  Under the heading “Northeast” It says “coastal flooding due to sea level rise and storm surge”
  
  Where I sail my boat in New London harbor and LIS, the sea Ebbs and Flows twice a day, and sea level hasn’t risen in my 40 years on the water. The sea level can’t rise here if it doesn’t rise everywhere. And any storm surge will recede to sea level quickly.

Climate Change for the last time is a Natural Occurence. The Earth has warmed and cooled many times over the millions of years the Earth has been and still is forming. If man had the ability to have an effect of the climate we would either all be dead or it would be 76 degrees with a chance of rain every other Thursday……..

Once again if you believe in Man Made Climate Change please Spat or Neuter yourself along with any offspring you have at home.. Thank You the Rest of Us………

  yeah…ummm…KRETIN33? There’s been no appreciable increase in the earth’s temperature since the mid/late nineties.
  The earth’s temperature has only warmed 1.2 degrees since 1850 (with 88% of that warming occurring before 1940), and the global average temperature has not gone up since 1998.
  
  LOL..”unprecedented rate”? You’re an idiot.
  
  Tell me…in the 1970′s it was “global cooling” you lefty idiots were alarmed about…was that an “unprecedented rate” too? LOL.

  “cimate change is a natural occurrence, however this warming is happening at an unprecedented rate to any other know climate change in fossil history. thats why most scientists believe its man made”
  
  I believe that THINKING people (unlike so many here) are still on the fence when it comes to the possibility of man increasing the rate of climate change. Certainly in the past there has been climate change that man did not cause. But everything in our lives are so polarized today there is simply no way one will get any agreement nor can hope for middle-of-the-road honest research to know for sure if man is increasing the rate of change. That is our loss. When you look at whom does the research it appears that the answer is known before the research begins, then it’s “proven”. So very sad.
  
  If both sides would just shut the hell up and agree that pollution is bad, period. We pollute our air, our water, our land. We destroy God’s beautiful earth by blasting away mountaintops and making what used to be beautiful green mountains into ugly drab mounds of rock. We create some of the most unsightly tar-fields in the north destroying large habitats for millions of animals. We dump medical waste into the oceans.
  
  Man is too stupid to learn from his mistakes. He may not be causing a significant or measureable amount of climate change, but he certainly is destroying the ecology.

Such a crock. Been to India ? A billion little home fires. Total pollution. Heard about China ? Total pollution. Just like our ” gun problem” : they are not solving the real problem. Gun problem: mental illness. Pollution problem : too many people, especially in poor countries with no pollution controls.

  Having “man made” pollution in the air, is not the same as being able to affect weather, and no one has ever been able to prove the correlation. Good try though.

The other day it was in the 60s in Pennsylvania in the middle of January- sometimes its below zero at the same time. Over a hundred years ago it was 69 degrees F in the same area.

Ok, geniuses of global warming, without engines, pollution, and all the nonsense you say causes global warming, how pray tell can one explain this with a straight face?? It appears it is better left explained as natural weather temperatures, caused by natural weather temperatures….its called the cycle of life, high and low tides, hot and cold, etc. Al Gore should be hiding.

I live in a “semi-arid” climate and I keep finding fossils of tropical plants and lots of shells on my property. There are dinosaur tracks not too far away. We have oil here too which indicates this place was swampy at one time. So what is the “normal” state of the environment again?

Although I do not have any doubts that some or all of this is not happening, I really don’t understand how anyone with a 3rd grade education can be sure man is the cause. Detailed records have only been kept since around 1850 and the planet is what a gazillion years old. Oh remember when the dinosaurs roamed the earth and it was pretty tropical and then along comes a pesky ice age. When I was in high school in the 80′s they were preaching about us causing another ice age. In short the climate is changing but it happens over and over so don’t be so vain as to think you can control it.

the earth’s climate is ALWAYS changing.
the question I have for the brilliant “scientists” that have this all figured out is this;
What is the “correct” temperature of the earth?
Last year’s? 100 years ago? a 1000?
Let’s look at history, what periods have caused the largest extinctions? Ice ages or warm periods?

  Let’s talk about Obama’s “Czar of Science” John Holdren shall we TOE_JAMEATER? He’s mentioned in this report yes?
  
  John Holdren was a proponent of “Global Cooling” in the seventies. Ouch…right?
  
  But it doesn’t stop there with little Johnny. You see..little Johnny is an alarmist whether it’s hot or cold. Little Johnny in his book “Ecoscience” (snappy title right?) says that the American government has the authority to sterilize American women agaisnt their will.
  “All the children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons.” Did that sink in TOPPY? Obama’s “Czar of Science” supports forced abortion and the death of “grown persons.” [...] “There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated…It has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
  Let me dumb it down for you TOPPY…Holdren believes theU.S. government has the authority to cull it’s population to numbers he and his fellow alarmists deem appropriate. And this repulsive denizen of the academic left was chosen by Barack Obama to make the kinds of reports you see featured in this article. You’re an idiot and Obama plays idiots like

  Little Johnny Holdren believes he and his fellow lefty academics and politicians can determine the “optimum population” numbers of the world and he wants to set about culling it’s populations…
  More from Johnny’s book “Ecoscience”:
  “Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable…The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world.”. See that one TOPPY? Johnny wants a one world government that determines not only who gets what and how much..but who lives and who dies. This is the guy who the author of this “climate change report released for public comment” reports to little fella. Obama has appointed a would-be eugencist as “Czar of Science” TOPPY and you don’t even blink do you? You’re an idiot.

  The Tea Party does not hate science, in fact, they do not hate anything or anyone – but they really resent ignorant statements that generalize about their strongly held positions. Climate science in general has been found time and again to be, at best, sloppy, and at worst downright fraudulent. Mother Earth will deal with the climate, changing or not, in her own way, regardless of what humans do. How about this idea…lets remove all the grant money from climate change research and see how many scientists jump off the gravy train. You see, unlike Tea Party folks who will defend their beliefs because they are deeply held, most climate change scientists would move to the next grant money gravy train rather than defend their “beliefs” in the climate. Grant money is amazing, it will buy just about any opinion you’re looking for. If climate change is real then we will have choices to make – one of which may be that there isn’t a damn thing we as humans can do about it. Sure, we could eliminate 90% of the human population and have the rest go back to the stone age…good luck selling that solution. In the end, Mother Earth will have the last laugh.
