 | The Club PUBlication  | GLOBAL WARMING! OUR FAULT? OK! What the heck are scientists saying about Global warming and why should I believe it's our fault? I found this video and felt we should all take a moment and look hard at what the scientific community is saying. |
Our current administration does not believe in global warming and therefore sees no reason to prepare for it. We are now being separated from worldwide efforts to change processes that will slow or mitigate global warming and are promoting a reversion to a path that will magnify and speed the event.
This is what the scientific community is saying: There are "7 videos" stacked inside the following video. Each video is 2 to 4 minutes in length. If you wish to see them all (recommended) just click on the link that presents itself at the end of each module. Total time commitment less than 20 minutes. Even if you don't believe in global warming this will show you why others are alarmed.

Trump administration tells EPA to cut climate page from website: sources
JANUARY 24, 2017 / 8:12 PM / 2 YEARS AGO
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to remove the climate change page from its website, two agency employees told Reuters, the latest move by the newly minted leadership to erase ex-President Barack Obama’s climate change initiatives. The employees were notified by EPA officials on Tuesday that the administration had instructed EPA’s communications team to remove the website’s climate change page, which contains links to scientific global warming research, as well as detailed data on emissions. The page could go down as early as Wednesday, the sources said.
“If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear,” one of the EPA staffers told Reuters, who added some employees were scrambling to save some of the information housed on the website, or convince the Trump administration to preserve parts of it.
The sources asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
A Trump administration official did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The order comes as Trump’s administration has moved to curb the flow of information from several government agencies who oversee environmental issues since last week, in actions that appeared designed to tighten control and discourage dissenting views.
The moves have reinforced concerns that Trump, a climate change doubter, could seek to sideline scientific research showing that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming, as well as the career staffers at the agencies that conduct much of this research.
Myron Ebell, who helped guide the EPA’s transition after Trump was elected in November until he was sworn in last week, said the move was not surprising.
“My guess is the web pages will be taken down, but the links and information will be available,” he said.
The page includes links to the EPA’s inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, which contains emissions data from individual industrial facilities as well as the multiagency Climate Change Indicators report, which describes trends related to the causes and effects of climate change.
The Trump administration’s recently appointed team to guide the post-Obama transition has drawn heavily from the energy industry lobby and pro-drilling think tanks, according to a list of the newly introduced 10-member team.
Trump appointed Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a longtime foe of the EPA who has led 14 lawsuits against it, as the agency’s administrator. The Senate environment committee held a tense seven-hour confirmation hearing for Pruitt last week. No vote on his nomination has been scheduled yet.
