Global Warming Irreversible, NOAA Scientist Finds

Posted by kdawson on from the is-it-hot-in-here dept.

Tibor the Hun writes "NPR reports that Susan Solomon, one of the world's top climate scientists, finds in her new study that global warming is now irreversible. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concludes that even if we could immediately cease our impact on pollution and greenhouse gasses emissions, global climate change would continue for more than a thousand years. The reason is the saturation of oceans with carbon dioxide. Her study looked at the consequences of long-term effect in terms of sea-level rise and drought."

    I think what they mean to say is, "Global warming is now irreversible... because we have just completed our global warming machine."
