Quote to Consider
"Excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state's omnipotence is another possible mistake... Instead of streamlining market mechanisms, some are tempted to expand state economic intervention to the greatest possible extent...
In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state's role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated...There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state...
And one more point: anti-crisis measures should not escalate into financial populism and a refusal to implement responsible macroeconomic policies. The unjustified swelling of the budgetary deficit and the accumulation of public debts are just as destructive as adventurous stock-jobbing."

WCK, Good night! Hey, it's just another day of "Climate Change".
Windy City Kid
20 Nov : 01:16
I got in earlier but the CRU article wasn't up yet. I have quickly scanned the 140+ responses about 5 minutes ago and most of the memos are what I have already read elsewhere. I will check back later today when more comes out. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares about flesh eating climate scientist zombies but I'm going to bed anyway.LOL Good night Denny.
Denny
20 Nov : 00:50
WCK, have you been over to CA? It's really hard to get in! I was wondering whether I was having computer problems....I got thru and I saw why!
Denny
20 Nov : 00:48
WCK, I don't know for sure but for what I've seen so far...It looks very real to me...There's really no way to change all of this info...Yes, one has to be skeptical of some possible implants but overall from what I just read...Wow!
Windy City Kid
20 Nov : 00:37
Well if these memos are the real deal, there are some real activist scumbags pretending to be climate scientists. I'm hoping they are fake as this would destroy the last shred of faith in humanity that I have.
Windy City Kid
19 Nov : 21:44
Denny and admin disregard my previous post. I see you already are aware of the situation and have a link. Thanks!
Windy City Kid
19 Nov : 21:28
Denny and or Admin. There was a smoking gun at another blog with a link to over 1,000 memos implicating HadCRUT and others in a cabal to supress climate data. The link was removed for fear of legal reprise as it is suspected that the HadCrut computers had been hacked into. Is there any other news or has anyone made copies of the memos.

19 Nov : 05:17
Usually, the stock retort was that AGW skeptics were funded by "big oil". When it turns out that we aren't, then we're not "well organized." Well, science doesn't hinge on whether we have a secret handshake or a patch for our jacket. Science is simply there. You're statement implies that AGW believers are organized and that somehow makes you more right. Why? Because you are organized and have rehearsed rhetoric? I'm still waiting on a scientific debate.
ron
19 Nov : 04:51
And yeah, I know more science than the president, which is not saying a lot, and I can recite it without a tele-prompter. And a scientific fact is valid regardless of what party you vote for. The government doesn't decide what science is.
ron
19 Nov : 04:49
Hmmm, you should listen to how political and unscientific you sound. So, you think scientific validity is based on "credibility" based on where they have the chatbox? Or that skeptics don't have an "organised" opposition and you do, I suppose? Not once in you reply did you even rely on science. Instead, your points are made with political terms. Science is science, whether it is politically popular or not. We don't define a science by voting on it or how well we "package it" to the voting electorate.

If I were you, and if I wanted my site to have any credibility, I would remove this chat section from the front page as it reduces your valid scientific arguments to a lot of chitchat between disaffected youths with nothing better to do than sit on the internet all day. Unless this is that kind of site, I would hide this section. The president comes here to see what you are up to you say? I bet he is laughing also, since he certainly doesn't have top worry about any organised opposition.

hi im doing a research paper on facts that say global warming is a hoax...any ideas?

I read it. Even though some may poop on the algebra, the principle is the same as what I have been saying. CO2 cannot have the conscious ability to direct its re-emission only toward the ground. It will happen in all directions. So, heat radiates away like it always has, maybe more effciently, Maybe just the same, regardless. And CO2, like any gas, transfers its to any cooler gas or area or substance as soon as it encounters it. Basic physics. It's why your air conditioner works. And that's why I say that CO2 can't hold in anything. It merely changes slightly the heat exchange rate, and that is only at 2.5 and 15.7 microns.

And, as I have predicted here and on other blogs and chats, not one AGW alarmist can answer my challenge other than repeating the catechism of St. Gore, as was evidenced by the few here that at least came up with something in the name header. They simply reiterated. Not one could explain how they expect CO2 to re-emit it's IR at 2.5 and 15.7 microns (and any stratospheric cooling is at 6.5 microns, which is water vapor) only at the surface at the planet. To be fair, it can't. No gas can do that. But I was willing to see if any one would be as silly as Akers was in his debate with Piers Corbyn, when he was about to say that it was silly that plants needed CO2, when the host cut it short. But no takers, so far. ho hum ...

Thanks, Denny. I saw Lord Monckton's mathematical gauntlet, which states even more clearly what the article was stating, which is what I have been saying all along. First, the earth is not a closed system. The atmosphere, with varying layers of density, is not a closed system. But even if it were, like a framed and enclosed hothouse, it would still radiate heat away at a certain temperature that establishes equilibrium between inside and outside. However, our atmosphere, containing no such hard metal layer, convects more rapidly and easily. Prof is shown by Prof. Lindzen.

It depends. If her teacher has been brainwashed and she wants to make an A she should just make up facts and figures showing how man is evil and wants to melt all the ice, kill all the polar bears, flood all the coastal cities, starve people in poor countries and cause endless hurricanes and droughts. If her teacher wants the truth send your sister here.

George Will Is Correct On Global Sea Ice, It Is Higher Today Than Almost 3 Decades Ago

comment: 121 //
// Font Size - Increase / Decrease / Reset The left believes they've caught one of their arch enemies in a gross factual mistake. Nationally syndicated columnist George Will recently wrote that global sea ice was at the exact same levels as it was in 1979. The left went bonkers believing him to be incorrect. Was he?
Discover Magazine's blog is one of those that went off on George Will accusing him of gross inaccuracy and saying that the Washington Post had poor fact checking “You Call That Fact-Checking?”.
Even the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center got in to the fray saying this on their website:
We decided to take a look at the total month end numbers for January 1980 and January 2009. In case you've noticed a little slight of hand we did indeed change the year to one year later. Let it show that we did this to prove that it you can use this data just about any way you want (because frankly any global changes are not very dramatic), and if we had satellites up back in the 1930's we probably would have seen far less sea ice than what we're looking at now. So how does today compare to 1980?

From the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado
So what did George Will say?
1979 1980. If there is “global” warming it certainly is hiding very well. Perhaps it has gone underground, either shy of all of the media attention, or nervous about being found out that it's nothing more than a fraud.

Discover Magazine's blog is one of those that went off on George Will accusing him of gross inaccuracy and saying that the Washington Post had poor fact checking “You Call That Fact-Checking?”.
Even the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center got in to the fray saying this on their website:
We do not know where George Will is getting his information, but our data shows that on February 15, 1979, global sea ice area was 16.79 million sq. km and on February 15, 2009, global sea ice area was 15.45 million sq. km. Therefore, global sea ice levels are 1.34 million sq. km less in February 2009 than in February 1979. This decrease in sea ice area is roughly equal to the area of Texas, California, and Oklahoma combined.So was George Will wrong? It turns out George Will was quoting a source that later corrected its data, not George's fault. Turns out for that particular day in February 1979 it did indeed have more ice than on that day in 2009. But is that a big deal?
We decided to take a look at the total month end numbers for January 1980 and January 2009. In case you've noticed a little slight of hand we did indeed change the year to one year later. Let it show that we did this to prove that it you can use this data just about any way you want (because frankly any global changes are not very dramatic), and if we had satellites up back in the 1930's we probably would have seen far less sea ice than what we're looking at now. So how does today compare to 1980?
1980 Southern Hemisphere = 4.7 million sq kmJanuary in the year 2009 showed 200,000 sq km more sea ice than 1980.
1980 Northern Hemisphere = 15.0 million sq km
Total = 19.7 million sq km
2009 Southern Hemisphere = 5.8 million sq km
2009 Northern Hemisphere = 14.1 million sq km
Total = 19.9 million sq km

From the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado
So what did George Will say?
“As global levels of sea ice declined last year, many experts said this was evidence of man-made global warming. Since September, however, the increase in sea ice has been the fastest change, either up or down, since 1979, when satellite record-keeping began. According to the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center, global sea ice levels now equal those of 1979.”George Will's point remains, there is as much sea ice today as there was in

| Guest Reply to this | This is just silly. It is ridiculous to compare two specific dates or even two months for a wildly fluctuating stochastic system like sea ice. What is being assessed here is weather, not climate. The Arctic ice has declined by 30% over the satellite period (from 1979), and by 40 - 50% since the 1950s. The Antarcis has seen an increase of sea ice on the order of 1 - 4%. There has been an overall decline of roughly 1 million square kilometers of global sea ice since 1979. That is determined by a simple linear regression using annual, monthly or daily data. Will's first mistake was to suggest that two points of data make a trend. They don't. He gets an C+ in cherry-picking (as does this goal-post moving article). He gets an F double minus in statistical analysis. |

| Guest Reply to this | notice global warmers cherry pick, show narrow windows of time, average in only periods that show warming and point out specific Hot years to show that they are correct. yet you start pointing out things that show cooling or widen the time frames you are "cherry picking" That is not the case at all. The best trend evaluations come from the longest time series. The longest possible time-frame to determine effects of anthro CO2 is since the industrial revolution, and particularly from just before 1900, whenb the CO2 output began to overwhelm the capacity of the earth's natural carbon sinks. The satellite record for sea ice is 30 years long. The proper way to establish if there has been a trend is NOT to pick two months and compare them, whether they are two sinlge months separated by 30 years or one year. The ONLY way to establish a trend is to include as much data as possible. If you include all months for the satellite period and run a simple linear regression, global sea ice has declined overall by about 1 million square kilometers. In other examples, so-called 'skeptics' will cherry-pick the last 10 year of global temperature to try and argue warming has stopped. The WMO posit that 30 years is the minimum period required to establish a climate trend. Last year also, there was a rash of blogging on the big negative temperature dfiierence between Jan 2007 and Jan 2008. Or back to topic, there was a flurry of skeptical activity last year when Antarctic winter sea ice had grown significantly from 2007 - 2008. This is a SINGLE YEAR, and indicative only of weather, not a climate trend. If find it incredible that it is claimed global warming 'alarmists' use narrow periodicities to argue that climate change is happening. This is entirely the methodology used by the critical camp. Where were the 'alarmists' when 1998 was the hottest year on record, and again in 2005? Not amongst serious scientists. Short-term events are weather. Long-term trends (25 - 30+ yrs) are more indicative of climate trends. You can see the decline of sea ice by the naked eye from this graph. ![]() Check especially the top part, where deviations are plotted against a baseline. Using the naked eye is not as good as actually crunching the numbers, but you'd have to be blind not to see the downaward trend. Will's comments are cherry-picking - an outright bald example of the fallacy. 2 data points only? Sheesh! It's like saying the temperature on a given day in a given city, and the temperature on the same date 30 years earlier have any meaningful relationship to the trend. Weather can fluctuate by 20C and more within a month. Two data points tell you nothing about the long-term trend. If any of this is confusing, read up on statistical analysis, particular trends, linear regression. It's just bizzare to pick two data points to indicate a trend in a noisily stochastic plot. Any first-term maths student studying statistics would get an instant fail for doing that in an assignment. |

| Guest Reply to this | Thirty years of data is absolutely meaningless in the context of 4.6 billion years of geological time. Even a million years of continuous climate data is essentially useless. "Nothing is meaningful" This is the core of denialism - of any stripe. When a skeptic evolves into a cynic. An assertion without explanation is pretty meaningless, I'd say. I nominate the above quote as a paean for anti-science. We parenthesise periods to help us understand phenomena. This goes for astronomy, geology, dendrochronoly, physics, archeology, history, tectonics, evolution, soil science, carbon dating... We break things down into periods so we can better understand physical processes on earth and in the universe to help us understand what the future may hold. We look to the next 30, 50, 100, 200, 1000 years so that we can prepare now for our descendants. As humans have existed on the planet for 200 000 years and out lifespans barely reach 100, I could agree that a 4.6 billion year period (the age of the planet) is a little irrelevant to the topic at hand. You're saying "the climate has always changed anyway", aren't you? Well, duh. |

| Guest Reply to this | During the 30 year period commencing with satellite data until today we have two global climate cycles, one for 19 years of warming characterized by the most active sun in several hundred years; and 11 years of cooling until today, commencing in 1998. Sea ice levels were at the the presumed maximum in 1979, as the World exited a 35 year period of cooling, After the is warm cycles' 19 year of warming, presumed ice melting, and 11 years of subsequent cooling, we are essentally exactly where we were 30 years ago. Anyone with any Scientific sense knows the current cooling sycle is likely to persist for several years if not a few decades. That seems to be the nature of that periodic cycle. So we probably face an extended cooling for years, yet sea ice is at the highest level that was reached at the end of the previous cooling cycle and the beginning in 1979 of the warming period. How much MORE ICE WILL THERE BE by the time the current cooling cycle turns again? No matter what the Warmist Cassandras would say, if there is any truth whatever to their science and I accept that CO2 can move the temperature, but only marginally, by a few hundredths of a single degree, there certainly is no fear that it is significant. And at this level is wholly benign. I suggest the doomsday merchants dig out their old Global cooling propaganda and start peddling that. The climate records will probably let you peddle that guff, for a few decades to the gullible, as the ICE continues to pile up. |

Solar output has been declining slightly over the last 50 years. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from. ![]() The last 10 years has been warmer than the 10 years before that. The decade til now has been characterised by the usual stochastic variability. Though the temperature record of 1998 has not been beaten, all but one year since 1998 has been hotter than ALL the years before 1998 in the instrumental record, whether you use the satellite or surface records. It aint the sun. Changes in solar output do affect the surface temperature, but the fluctuations have a small effect. Anyone with any Scientific sense knows the current cooling sycle is likely to persist for several years if not a few decades. That seems to be the nature of that periodic cycle. Assertion. Is there any actual scientific evidence for this posit backed up by real science done by experts in solar science? yet sea ice is at the highest level that was reached at the end of the previous cooling cycle and the beginning in 1979 of the warming period This is simply not the case. While there are brief times when the global sea ice (both poles, shrinking and growing seasonally, with rates and extent/area throughout the seasons strongly affected by short-term weather events), the long-term trend is very clear. Global sea ice has declined in the last 30 years at least, mainly due to the large decrease at the North Pole, being slightly offset by the small increase at the South Pole. I can only repost the very graph that Wills' appears to have referred to. ![]() The only way to posit a no-trend scenario is to carefully select a data point in 1979 (or 1980, as the top post has elected to do) that shows the same level of sea ice as the same month/day in 2008 - and then draw a straight line from those two data points. Surely it is understood that this method has no significance whatsoever as a trend analysis? It is not a trend that is being demonstrated, but the coincidence of weather effects. If you can get the annual or monthly data for sea ice levels over the 30 year period, you can run a simple linear regression (trend with a straight line) in Excel by hitting the right buttons. The slope is down. You can see the trend with you own eyeballs if you look at the graph in the link above. You can also see the annual and monthly variability, which is larger than the trend - that's why you can't just pick two data points and say anything meaningful. The trend is clearest in the top profile, which pits sea ice concentrations against a baseline, but you can see the trend in the bottom profile, as well as the varibalitiy. You can access sea ice data via the parent page for the graph for anyone interested in crunching the numbers. ![]() |

| Guest Reply to this | I love the way alarmists claim cherry picking is the only way to refute global warming. If the earth is being bombarded with more and more CO2 every year there should be no data to cherry pick. The earth should show a higher average temp every year with no exceptions. If a person is suffering from heat stroke and you continue to pile blankets on him his core temp will never go down. So why does the earth show any cooler temps when blankets of CO2 are being heaped upon it in ever increasing amounts? |

| Guest Reply to this | If the earth is being bombarded with more and more CO2 every year there should be no data to cherry pick. The earth should show a higher average temp every year with no exceptions. Why should rising CO2 levels prevent the normal annual variability? The change in global temperature from natural variations year to year is greater than the long-term trend. Of course you'll see spikes and troughs on the graph, not a straight line. Think of the stock market. Over the long term, the price of shares increases generally, but there are occasional short term downturns (and more rarely, massive downturns like the one we're experiencing). When you look at an economic graph over decades, the trend is upwards, but there is a lot of up and down along the way. To posit that each year should be warmer than the next under global warming, you'd need to explain why internal weather activity would cease with more CO2 in the atmosphere. Im wondering what people will say about Al Gore and friends in 20 years when sea level has not risen by 20 feet worldwide as Gore claims it will in "An Inconvienient Truth." They won't say anything because Gore never said sea levels will rise 20 feet in 20, 50 or a 100 years. He never gave a time-frame at all. 20 feet is how much the seas will rise if Greenland completely melts, which is what Gore said. Under the mainstream theory, that may not happen for hundreds of years. Gore's film is propagandistic, but he manages to get the science mostly right, despite omitting contexts like this, which I think is a bit wiley. |

| Guest Reply to this | Frankly if the Washington Post doesn't even mention the satellite problems for January they are idiots. AFAIK, the WP didn't pick up the satellite story, therefore they must be idiots. This means that idiots ran Wills' column. I could go along with that. ;-) Again, George Will should have used monthly data from 1980/2009, rather than a particular day in 1979/2009. Again, it is utterly spurious to use just two data points that are coincidental. This is blatant cherry-picking. To discern a trend, ALL monthly values should be run through a linear regresion. When this is done, the trend is down. Or if you want a simpler way to do it, break the series up into 6 5-year blocks. work out the average sea ice area for each block, and then comapre values. You will see that the area has sreadily declined. You're not suggesting al the other months/years should be ignored, are you? All the while CO2 has been increasing. If CO2 was causing global warming this is not what we would expect to see. Again, rising concentrations of CO2 (and global warming) do not prevent weather variability from happening. You might be able to find the temperature for a given day/month 30 years ago is higher (or lower) than that for the same day/month in the same location 30 years later. This tells you absolutely nothing about the trend. It is simply a reflection of weather variability. For example, the global temperature in January 1980 was 0.03 above the anomaly. For January 2008, the temperature anomaly was less; -0.05 below the anomaly. ![]() Does this mean the globe hasn't warmed since 1980? Obviously, no. (data is UAH satellite temperature record - the one cited by most critics, for some reason, as being 'truer') A quick look at the UAH time series from 1980 shows obvious warming, globally - as does all the other surface/satellite temp records. ![]() Wills is talking about a coincdent weather event. He does not talk about trend. If he did, and reported honestly, he would report that global sea ice has been declining for the lasat 30 years. Another thing Wills omits from his decpetively selective commentary: Global ice volume has also declined - The Arctic sea ice has gotten much thinner. If he expressed sea ice in terms of volume, then at no time in the last decade has the TOTAL polar ice been even nearly equal to any values 30 years ago. The ice monitoring institute Wills references has contradicted him specifically, the WP ombudsman has found his defence lacking, and he clearly fails to understand the most rudimentary concepts of statistics (or deliberately ignores them). You can repeat the 'point' Wills makes over and over, but it is, essentially, meaningless. A coincidence of weather, not a reflection of any kind of trend. |

| Guest Reply to this | An example of stochastic, or 'noisy' data is the stock market. Someone could point to the values of the last few weeks and say that they match the values of a good month many years years ago (say, the IT bubble). They would be daft to posit that there has been no increase in stock market values in the long-term. We are in the midst of a downturn. Share prices will go up again, as they did after the stock market crash early last century. Cherry picking two data points is just not statistically signficant. I will not be changing my superannuation profile (mostly shares), because I know that when I retire in 25 years time, the value of shares will have gone up. If a financial advisor drew a line from this month's share market value to a point some years back where the value was the same, and then said to me that there had been no trend in the interim, and that this 'proved' that my shares won't increase in value in the coming years, I would refuse to pay them. So should you. |

This number is disputed by some; there are plenty of measurements that show it up to 340 parts per million in the mid 1800's. At present the concentration is around 385 parts per million. So, the net effect of 150 years of profligate fossil fuel consumption has been to increase the the CO2 in the atmosphere from 3 molecules per 10,000 to 4 molecules per 10,000. Meanwhile, the temperature of the atmosphere has risen by about 0.6 degrees Celsius. The geological record shows that the climate of the planet has been through multiple cycles of warming and cooling that could not have been caused by anthropogenic CO2. We are forced to the conclusion that there are other, powerful forces in play. How can the warmists extract the effect of anthropogenic CO2 from the natural climate cycles with such certainty? We are only just begining to understand what they are and how they interact. We are well within the geological parameters for both CO2 concentration and global temperature. We should be concerned but not alarmed. If the temperature of the planet had stopped changing about the time we started paying attention to it, that would have been a little spooky. It has always changed and surely always will. I suggest we all calm down. Thank you George Will for being a calm, rational voice in a febrile debate. Geologist. |

| Guest Reply to this | We must demand that Obama stop using this hoax to destroy our children and grandchildren’s future while imposing communism on us. The more than 650 international scientists that expressed their dissent last year over the man-made global warming claims are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. ![]() Additionally, more than 31,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate…" ![]() Obama, however, is determined to force us to swallow the man-made global warming scam to impose communism on us. Billions have already been wasted because of this hoax and now Obama plans to steal from our children and grandchildren and waste many more billions to carry out moronic plans to “control CO2.” Based on the global waming hoax, Obama will limit development, increase the cost of energy and thus force factories and companies to close, and multiply poverty and unemployment. Based on this hoax, Obama will prevent the U.S. from becoming energy independent, and leave Americans at the mercy of scum like Hugo Chavez. If not stopped, the global warming scam will enrich the scammers (Gore and Obama’s fraudulent friends), increase the power of the U.N. and communists like Obama, and multiply poverty and servitude for the rest of us. |

| Guest Reply to this | I love you guys - I sit in the center and watch two sides who have little or no background in real science push views espoused by others with similar backgrounds and views. JPL, USGS, etc are all just gathering data, and I have witnessed the disappearance of Grinnell Glacier, but I still have not made up my mind that this is man made or not a natural anomaly. If you would bother to look at the data as presented by UI (arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu) instead of spouting what has become an urban myth/legend, you might understand that George has either been mislead or is not forthcoming. Peruse the data yourself and show me where the consistencies are - find me an AMS member or someone else with an advanced degree (preferably a PhD) in either Meteorology or a close field instead of being a batch of amateur scientists coming to conclusions that have no basis in science. Real science in just dawning in this field, and there are no absolutes in science except in disproving theories, but backing this piece as originally printed does not do your cause any good. I guess the person responsible for gathering and analyzing the data (Chapman) knows less about it than George does, but he does not agree with him. Trying to prop up bad journalism by Mr Will does little for your credentials. As far as the 31000 "scientists" that have signed the petition, this just required that you have an undergraduate degree in a scientific field. Very few of these individuals have any real basis in climatological sciences, and again, please see the AMS response to this petition. You sound as bad as the guys on the left, and keep making premises that have little basis in what any scientist would back. And the individual who commented about the 1930's being warm, Goddard has the real data - please do some research before you show your ignorance. |

| Guest Reply to this | I ran statistical analyses on these data (from Cryosphere Today) last year - linear regression. I did it again with the new data from 2008 (not yet complete). I assume the 5 columns are seasonal + annual time series - couldn't find documentation at the site describing All 5 columns show decline in sea ice area for the period, increasing markedly (for what I assume is the summer minimum column) in the latter years of the series. People have satellites that can actually measure these things. The data are from 1870 - 2008. You realize that satellite measurements of polar sea ice began late 1978, right? For anyone interested and able to run a simple trend analysis in Excel (or similar software), they can verify for themselves that Arctic sea ice has decreased over both the satellite and long-term periods. Here's the link again. ![]() from this webiste: ![]() |

| Guest Reply to this | running quickly through the comments here, I didn't come across any mention of the consistency of the arctic sea ice. Apparently "more than 70 percent of that sea ice is new, thin and salty [and] the more important ice is perennial sea ice that lasts through the summer, and that ice has hit record low levels." I apologize if this has already been discussed but I thought it should be mentioned. Here is the article: ![]() |

| Guest Reply to this | (Just in case anyone ever reads this thread again) The link above is data for the Arctic sea ice area only, not global, whioch is the subject of this thread. There are two great sources for Northern and Southern hemisphere sea ice, extent and area. From 1972: ![]() Form 1979: (satellite period) ![]() The first is probably the easier to use. I can confirm that when Arctic and Arctic sea ice data is combined and trended, there is a distinct decline over both periods (either from 1972 or 1979). This is directly at odds with the suppositioin of the top post. The author appears to have picked up malpractise from Daily Tech*, which makes the same error. * ![]() |

| Guest Reply to this | I do wish that those who question or dispute the theory of CO2-cause AGW would not assume that all AGW proponents are 'leftists' or Liberals and that all AGW skeptics are conservatives or libertarians. Try visiting a web site where a lot of hard-core leftists post comments, such as the Prison Planet website, and you will see that a great many leftists are also AGW skeptics. I am personally a leftist, a Liberal, and a socialist, but I am also very much in the AGW skeptic camp. Here is a link to my latest Pravda article:![]() I see AGW as a scam that right-wing politicians (the USA and UK have almost no truly left-wing political leaders) have created to fool the enviromentally concerned and scientifically challenged citizens into supporting. Just like they used bogus WMDs to fool the citizenry into invading Iraq and the false-flag 9/11 attacks to justify the bogus War on Terror. All of these are right-wing fascist scams designed to increase the profits, the power, and the social control of the state and the corporations. |

| Guest Reply to this | So, if I understand the Global Warming theory correctly, it states that the overall temperature of planet Earth will increase as CO2 levels increase from all of our Man-Made systems and devices. Okay, so can one of you GW Genius' explain why the overall temperature of planet Earth lowered in 2008 (albeit a very small amount) when the levels of CO2 surely increased? Which climate model predicted that outcome? |

| Guest Reply to this | I went to the NSIDC, to look for the sea ice extent shown above. What I saw instead read like this: "Monthly average ice extent for February 2009 was the fourth lowest in the satellite record. February 2005 had the lowest ice extent for the month; February 2006 was the second lowest; and February 2007 is in third place. Including 2009, the downward linear trend in February ice extent over the satellite record stands at –2.8% per decade." So, what else you got for us? Let me guess, industries don't pollute, cigarettes are actually good for you, Jesus actually threw the poor people out of the temple, and the world is 6000 years old. How did they use to put it to me...in the end, you will all be believers. |

| Guest Reply to this | My favorite site was 'the cryosphere today {http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/}" where users were allowed to compare ice coverage from 1980 through 2009 on a daily basis. They even had snow coverage for the five most recent years. The University of Illinois puts up the data. Unfortunately they have recently disabled the 2009 data. They explain that they had data gathering problems so they have disabled the comparison feature for 2009 data. The other years (1979-2008) work fine and perusing these data can be a real eye-popper if you are into going to original sources of data. If you can read a graph it is still possible to estimate the ice coverage on your own. It is more work but the diligent reader can still get an excellent idea as to what is going on in the real world without looking through the distorting lens of the popular media. |

| Guest Reply to this | This argument is like talking about how many ice cubes were in the refridgerator over the last 50 years... If the Volume of the Oceans and Lakes are fixed and the variable is only temperature, then the relationship should be comparatively easy to interpret.

| Guest Reply to this | The whole steady decline thing is goofy a perfect example of numbers being manipulated to make your point. Let me make it simple for you. If I have a basket full of apples and that basket has a hole in it. One apple drops out of the basket each day (steady decline) here is no way that over 30 yrs time I will still have the same number of apples. The ice is NOT disappearing. It is not steady it is cyclic. |

| Guest Reply to this | My understanding of the debate is as follows: 1. The volume of sea ice is essentially the same as it was in 1979 2. The change in volume of sea ice is proportional to the change in average temperature of the earth by some realtionship(i.e. linearly, exponetially etc). Now if you consider the science involved in the change of state from water to ice. It takes a certain amount of energy to reduce the temperature of water down to 32 F or 0 C. From that point it takes a substantial more amount of energy to change the liquid water at 32 F or 0 C to solid water(ice) at 32 F or 0 C. The long and short of the discussion on the change in state of water to ice is that it would tend to take substantial amounts of time to show substantial changes in the volume of ice given the slight variations in temperatures we are speaking about. Therefore, I believe, you could "cherry pick" a certain month in 2008 and compare it to 1979 since any volume of ice is the product of the conditions leading up to that point and not simply conditions for that day, week or month. My conclusion is if there is the same volume of global ice now as there was in 1979, then Global Warming is a hoax. |
