Climate scientists finding a voice

Climate scientists finding a voice... regardless of whether the change is due to human activity or not, no one can deny scientific evidence that there is a climate change!: http://www.sciencealert.com.au/news/20122301-23035.html "Climate change has already contributed to the southward shift in the breeding distribution of some tropical bird species in WA.
A research compiled by the Conservation Council WA (CCWA) and Halfmoon Biosciences, demonstrates that the poleward movement of two dark tern species is in line with general predictions of global warming." .... http://www.physicstoday.org/resource/1/phtoad/v65/i2/p22_s1?bypassSSO=1 : "Receiving an email with a statement like “You should resign, and if you don’t, I’ll work to see that you are fired” or “I know where your kids go to school” would be unsettling enough. But they “pale compared to what other climate scientists are getting,” says Raymond Orbach, director of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, at whom the first threat above was aimed.
Now climate scientists—in atmospheric physics and chemistry, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology, and oceanography, among other disciplines—have begun to fight back. “I think the community is finding a voice,” says Ben Santer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whose work has largely focused on identifying the human influence on global climate, and who once answered a late-night knock to find a dead rat on his doorstep." .... http://theenergycollective.com/josephromm/75958/climate-change-bringing-arctic-europe : "The probability of cold winters with much snow in Central Europe rises when the Arctic is covered by less sea ice in summer. Scientists of the Research Unit Potsdam of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association have decrypted a mechanism in which a shrinking summertime sea ice cover changes the air pressure zones in the Arctic atmosphere and impacts our European winter weather. These results of a global climate analysis were recently published in a study in the scientific journal Tellus A."
 
For consequences of climate change for Canada see for example: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-387 ... also: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2012/01/12/mb-nasa-ecological-change-canada-manitoba.html "A new NASA study predicts massive ecological changes for Canada's Prairies and boreal regions by the year 2100. Those areas are in "hot spots" highly vulnerable to massive environmental changes this century due to global warming, the study states. Much of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba is predicted to see major shifts northward of plant and animal species." .... http://www.ec.gc.ca/eau-water/default.asp?lang=En&n=7958DB0A-1#how .... http://www.mefeedia.com/news/48156031 .... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111103081431.htm ..... http://humanitariannews.org/20120112/nasa-predicts-massive-climate-change-impact-canada .... also scientists believe that Decline in solar output unlikely to offset global warming: http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-decline-solar-output-offset-global.html
