"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite."

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 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.


ron
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.


Hmmm
19 Nov : 04:28
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?


ron
18 Nov : 05:01
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.



Denny
17 Nov : 21:06
ron, have you seen this paper yet?




Denny
17 Nov : 20:50
ron, yea, all we get here is one sentence remarks from the Alarmists!
Except, I have noticed that more People requesting info on AGW from our site....which is good! Mostly students so they claim...


ron
17 Nov : 19:41
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 ...


ron
17 Nov : 19:34
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.


Denny

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.

Antarctic Sea Ice Up Over 43% Since 1980, Where Is The Media?
Admin, Sunday 05 April 2009 - 22:14:31 // comment: 74 //     email to someone printer friendly   //     Font Size - Increase / Decrease / Reset

Sea ice at Antarctica is up over 43% since 1980 and we hear nothing in the news, yet Arctic ice is down less than 7% and they're all over it! We've been waiting for the main stream media to pick up on the increase of Antarctic ice but so far they're been totally absent. Guess its doesn't fit the plan.


From the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado



Still no sign of the national media on the extraordinary growth of sea ice at the antarctic. They sure haven't missed a chance to point out the relatively small loss of ice at the arctic. Did did it ever occur to them that perhaps there is a natural process at work that has shifted ice growth from one pole to the other? Do they not want to admit that there are things man doesn't yet understand about how this planet works?

Remember that some of the “models” predicted increased antarctic ice, but they predicted increased “interior ice” due to increased snow fall. None of the models predicted increased sea ice around the antarctic. Yet that is what we have, and not just a little increase but a 43% increase since 1980!. This is highly significant yet hardly anyone in the main stream media (MSM) is talking about it.

Sea ice is much different than interior ice. Some of the models predicted increased ice over the interior of antarctic. If you've ever lived in the extreme cold temperature regions you already understand this. When it gets very cold the air become drier and it snows less, as the temperature warms towards freezing it actually snows more. Since the antarctic rarely even gets close to freezing its understandable that warming would cause more snow fall. Over time compacted snow would lead to more ice. But that is not what is happening here. We're seeing a dramatic increase in “sea ice”, this ice is over the ocean. Sea ice is caused by colder temperatures, not by increased snow fall. An increase of 43% is highly significant, but we hear nothing from either the MSM or the scientific community. Especially compared to the out 6%-7% decrease at the arctic (this isn't year over year, this is a 6% decline since 1980!).

Antarctic Sea Ice for March
              Extent                    Concentration
2009 5.0 million sq km 2.9 million sq km
1997 3.8 million sq km 2.2 million sq km
1980 3.5 million sq km 2.0 million sq km
This is an increase of 45% for ice concentration since 1980. This continues a long trend that has been noted here for several months..

Interior ice is also increasing but not due to warming as the models have predicted. According to NOAA GISS data winter temperatures in the antarctic have actually fallen by 1°F since 1957, with the coldest year being 2004. All the while global CO2 levels have gone up and the main stream media has been reporting near catastrophic warming conditions. They regularly show Antarctic sea ice shelves breaking apart, which is an entirely normal process (though they never tell you that part). The main stream media and certain segments of the scientific community truly must have no shame.

If you have doubts about the increase in ice you can run the numbers yourself at the National Snow and Ice Data Center's website (part of the University of Colorado and funded by the National Science Foundation).

And if you want to read something really amusing take a gander at Michael Asher Blog about climate modelers trying to explain antarctic warming.... agh .. cooling....agh... warming it's delightful.

No, because they are picking this up over at Fox News!

Massive Ice Shelf about to Break away from Antarctic Coast by AP.

Gee, I thought this is how Glaciers are made after the snow builds up and turns into Ice and then pushes it out over the Continent and into the Sea. If I get my Earth History right, UH, this has been going on for what, Millions of years. Yet Alarmists think that a .5 degree Celceius per what 100 years caused this!!!

"from 1979 to 2007, Antarctic sea ice underwent a slight increase. The Antarctic ice extent increases were smaller in magnitude than the Arctic increases, and some regions of the Antarctic experienced strong declining trends in sea ice extent. See the Arctic Sea Ice FAQ for more information. Image provided by National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado, Boulder."

The link in the article above is from NSIDC. It shows from 1980 to 2009 an increase of over 43% in antarctic sea ice. Are they calling this "a slight increase". I would call that highly significant.

Flanagan, nothing was "carefully selected". The month of March was selected because that was the most current month of available data. Comparing the month of March 2009 to the month of March 1980 seems perfectly legitimate to me!

The chart you linked to shows the anomaly. Exactly what period did they use to decide what is "normal". It also shows the yearly average. You're comparing apples to oranges and it comes up smelling like a worm.

If anyone is manipulating things its you manipulating this discussion. For the month of March 2009 had 43% more ice extent (and 45% ice concentration) than 1980. And it isn't just March, this site has been running this data for several months now and its showing a clear trend of a massive increase in antarctic sea ice.

Stop diverting the subject every time someone brings up a point.

Dannes,

is it me or you have problems with reading basic information. The graph says "March anomalies", so it's about March exactly. If you take 1980 and 2009 as the only two points (for "some" reason) then you get the numbers mentioned in the post.

But this is not how a trend is done of course. Comparing two points makes no sense as long as climate is concerned. For example, if I "decide" to compare 1982 and 2007, I can get a declining trend. (see the link) The long term trend is what counts, and obvious : 4.7%.

That's it. I'm not diverting the subject at all : the topic is here "how much has been the trend" The answer is 4.7% Any other manipulation of the data is an inslut to the scientific method.

If you compare the month of September between 2008 and 1980 you get the opposite results. It appears the increase in March results is due to thinner ice that is more spread out as a result of melting.



So just more cherry picking of data to keep the flat-earthers heads in the sand.

Hardly equal at all. Your example shows 3% more ice in 1980, the article shows 43% more ice. Your thinner ice theory doesn't work either as the ice concentration was up 45%.

Come on you can do better than that! How about blaming it on cow farts drifting down from Argentina. Or huge American conglomerates holding boondoggles in Buenos Aires for over paid CEOs. Ok, I know lets blame it on the ozone hole, we haven't heard from that lately. Oh yea, those would make less ice. Ummmm, geez maybe there isn't warming at the antarctic after all.

Oh wait I've got it! Its the icy cold hearted bureaucracy of socialism creeping back in to the civilized world.

it would appear that the earth has NATURAL warming and cooling in order to keep itself, and not to mention, every living species on it, alive. If you compare every graph, then you could would see that the tempurature goes up and down. and no matter what the human race does about it, our intentions are worthless compared to the natural ways of the earth.

one more thing, the whole idea of carbon dioxide causing global warming, and killing the life in earth is ridiculous. carbon dioxide IS what plants breath, then they create oxygen for us.

simple is right. If you are eliminating the trees that turn CO2 into O2, than you are eliminating the planets ability to produce O2. In turn, decaying trees release carbon back into the atmosphere. This would be a two fold problem with a synergistic effect. Not unlike Ice deflecting heat, melting, causing the water to absorb heat.

Guys, have you been sleeping in class?

Trees make oxygen? Ouch.

A chemical reaction using sunlight is producing it.

Now the big question for you would be: What are trees doing at night? Leading to: What do trees do, when they finally drop dead and decompose?

But let me help you by saying that much; without the existence of oxygen there wouldn't be any trees.
Simple biology.

So, now go looking for the source of that strange stuff that doesn't exactly come from the trees or other green plants for that matter...

Read the unedited political history people. The Club of Rome said back in the 80s/90s that they had 'hit upon the idea of global warming to unite the people' behind their agenda (ie. one world government/one world bank/carbon tax credits). Wake up! The enviromental movement has been hijacked and used and abused for years by the power elite in their pursuit of a world wide collectivism.

Global Warming Hoax or not . . . . I think the part of the message coming from the Crips (Libs) . . is not all that bad. What's wrong with a little conservation. Someone had mentioned the "Swirly Light" . . . Absolutely nothing wring with conserving some energy. Taxing conservation . . now that sucks. Don't beat up efforts of people who really want to make a difference in the planets energy consumption, because of some silly "Bloods vs. Crips" Political gang mentality.

I say taxing any type of effort sucks . . . .

Bashing anybody who says "Hey maybe we should't use as much electricity or oil or coal to benefit the earth . . . That sucks too.

There is a simple fact. Our Earth's resources are finite. Stuff will eventually run out. Do we wait for that to happen . . . or do we start making efforts today. Wow I totally sound like a commercial. Maybe I'm brain washed . . .

I conserve electricity because it saves me on my electrical bill, I conserve on fuel because it saves me money on my fuel bill, not because of some silly notion that the insignificant human being is causing this planet to heat up like an oven and cause all the ice in the world to melt. If you think humans have such a grand effect on this planet then you are arrogant in that respect. I agree we should conserve some energy and that's what I do, but not for global warming.

I also live in Texas (Bush Country) where its been +100 and the hottest summer ever in history.

Unfortunately, thermodynamics is thermodynamics, and there is no free lunch. How much energy does it take to produce a swirly bulb compared to a typical wire-incandescent, per bulb? I am curious to see the critical thinking.

In response to the original article, I believe this is an interpretation of another article in which a case is made for 43% increase. Looking at primary source information, a slightly less than 5% accrual trend is noted, in terms of area.

If the poster whom has the argument that the ice is thinner etc, one must consider then two feedback loops and determine which may be stronger - The reflection of insolation by a larger area of thinner ice vs. the propensity to melt of thinner ice by subsurface water flow. I suggest that only one of these quantities changes the DelE, the net system (Earth) flux of energy from the source (Sun.) If one considers the spread of ice lowers the DelE of the net system, then less thermal energy overall is available to do work. Less thermal energy means less ice means more decrease in DelE as a trend. This feedback mechanism should be examined more closely by the reader.

Global warming is a joke. The entirety of the issue is fallacious by very nature. Causality is what everyone should pay attention too. If something changes, and something else does afterwards, that DOES NOT mean that the first caused the second.

That's just a basic tenet of science.

If I put my pants on backwards today and then I end up getting in a car wreck, does it mean my pants influenced my bad luck? Of course not. A shift in CO2 and a shift in climate are just as related.

But far be it from the liberals to admit that they don't know everything about how the planet works. They're too busy worshipping a charismatic hollow suit.

Note that the sea ice in the Antarctic is on average 1-2m thick and in the Arctic it is 3-4m thick, so the data is noisier (and less significant in terms of ice volume) for the Antarctic. If you have a very noisy data set and pick just two points, you can find data to support any conclusion you want! You need to average many data points before you can spot a trend. If you do a confidence test on the entire data set, you will find no statistically significant trend in the Antarctic data, and a declining trend in the Arctic data.

Arctic vs Antarctic.

The link you posted exposes this site as being intellectually lazy and deceptive. It shows again how important it is to
- Try to study a topic thoroughly before jumping to conclusions spoonfed by others
- Verify sources to expose quoting out of context

I quote:
"Both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent are characterized by fairly large variations from year to year. The monthly average extent can vary by as much as 1 million square kilometers (386,102 square miles) from the year-to-year monthly average. The area covered by Antarctic sea ice has shown a small (not statistically significant) increasing trend.

According to scientific measurements, both the thickness and extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic have shown a dramatic decline over the past thirty years. This is consisistent with observations of a warming Arctic. This trend is a major sign of climate change in the polar regions and may be an indicator of the effects of global warming"

Had this site been scientific as well as political in nature, this quote would have been included. Perhaps the author needs to focus more on what seems to be his expertise: blaming everything on socialism, labeling fascistic countries as socialist, spreading disinformation about socialism, even labeling global warming a socialist propaganda tool. Typical ignorant Hegelian ranting.

The link in the article was 100% accurate. Antarctic sea ice is up 43% since 1980. Concentration being up 46% would tend to indicate the ice probably isn't as thin as you claim (where's the data on antarctic sea ice thickness?). You may quibble over the fact that this may be an anamoloy, but the fact is antarctic sea ice has a far greater extent and concentration than it did 30 years ago when satellite monitoring began. The only mention of the arctic was to point out that its only down 7% yet the media give it major air time, while making no mention of the enormous increase in antarctic sea ice.

If you want to argue that the ice varies so much from year to year than I would point out that 30 years would not be nearly long enough to spot any true trends. Anytime you have this much variability you need a much longer period of time to make any conclusions. You can't have it both ways. Either the 43% increase is significant, or the fact that its an anamoloy means we can discern no meaningful trend over such a short period of time. If the later is true than you wacky alarmists should just shutup and go away.

"The link in the article was 100% accurate"
Heh. Yes it was. It worked in my browser. No difference of opinion there.

"Antarctic sea ice is up 43% since 1980."
No it's not. You pick two data points (two months in two years decennia apart) in a highly fluctuating graph, one low and one high, compute the difference and then create the impression that this represents a long term trend. However:

"The monthly average extent can vary by as much as 1 million square kilometers (386,102 square miles) from the year-to-year monthly average."

You were supposed to look at the slope of the fluctuating graph, not compare march 1980 with march 2009!

Such comparisons are bogus! How can it be that I only have to visit the source you quote, read their footnotes and explanations and look at the numbers to realize this? Did you rush this article? If there is any remaining doubt wether or not your article is misleading, consider the following quote:

"Arctic ice has been decreasing at an average rate of about 3 percent per decade, while Antarctic ice has increased by about 0.8 percent per decade."
--

Nothing in the above quote is left to the imagination. Now, how many decades since 1972? For convenience: let's predict the 4 decade situation (2012). There is an increase of Antarctic ice of 4 * 0.8 = 3.2% However, there is a decrease of Arctic ice of 4 * 3 = 12%. Taken together, there is a decrease of polar ice of 8.8%

You see, they don't just compare march 1980 with march 2009, they compare differences in year-by-year averages. The difference between two random data points is completely irrelevant.

Then, you end with this:
"You can't have it both ways. Either the 43% increase is significant, or the fact that its an anamoloy means we can discern no meaningful trend over such a short period of time. If the later is true than you wacky alarmists should just shutup and go away."

Either we are wrong or you are right? What kind of a choice is that? How about: you lost this round, try again the next?

What's wrong with believing in a Christian God? Good morals, good ethics, peaceful. So if you believe in good morals, good ethics, and peace then you should absolutely believe in God!

It's the same with this argument...first of all, the fact that there IS an argument is reason enough to continue research before building policy around a belief system. And I'm sure very few have a problem accepting that over time all forms of pollution are detrimental over time and we should do our part to make sure that the planet we leave our children is worth living in. But these are not good arguments for the existence of man-made climate change and belief in one shouldn't mean you have to subscribe to another.

If this is a scientific matter, why should we take it on faith?

Okay people, does it really matter if Global Warming exists at all or not? The point is about making our society more earth friendly. The earth is what keeps us alive and we should not be polluting it with our smog and carbon dioxide. We must do all we can to help our friend "the earth" and that is what it is all about. Even if Global Warming is a big hoax, i do not see a difference between this and telling people that eating a diet high in fat and sugar can cause a heart attack. It is not proven that eating such things will CAUSE a heart attack, however, there is a strong correlation. Although it may not be proven, it keeps people eating healthy foods and that is important. Who cares why they do it, as long as they do. As long as people do everything they can to help this earth, who cares why they are doing it? I bought a Brita pitcher and recycle the filters, instead of buying bottled water, and I also bought all new appliances for my home that use less energy. I drive a hybrid and am considering solar panels for my home. I do all of these things not necessarily because of Global Warming, but because I fell it is my duty to do everything in my power to help this beautiful earth that gives me life. Yes, it did take the threat of Global Warming to realize that my selfish actions could have consequences and, since it helps me to do the best I can for the planet, and since it makes other people in this world do the best for the planet, I am glad that this "hoax" exists, if that is what you would like to call it.

Because CO2 isn't a pollutant! It is necessary for plant life to exist. It is easy to prove that the atmosphere is at one of the lowest concentrations of CO2 in Earth's history, plants are essentially CO2 starved. Any geologist could tell you that life THRIVED under times of higher CO2. If you love the planet why would want to cut back on CO2?

Yes, plants use CO2 in the process of photosynthesis. If you're going to look back at deep time and compare the Earth when it was COVERED with plants and not roads, buildings, homes and farmland, then yes, I would agree that several million years ago, excess CO2 was kept in check by the millions of plants that covered the planet.
Where have you been? We continue to REMOVE plants/trees at an alarming rate - have you heard of deforestation??? Loss of rainforest in South America? This has been going on for 20 years or so. Hmmmm....yes, plants love CO2 and rely on it for their biological processes. I'm just curious as to what will happen if we continue to remove plants from our environments and replace them with heat reflecting structures. Why don't you find a website/data link that supports your theory that plants love CO2 and will thrive in a high CO2 environment? When you can show that we have the SAME quantity of plants on Earth as we did millions of years ago (before concrete) and that the Earth is thriving in a high CO2 environment today, let me know.

In terms of your claim that sea ice is increasing in the Antarctic - can you say "pot - kettle - black" - you are blasting scientists for manipulating data - yet you've done the same. You have taken TWO data points. I could look at my bank account from 10 years ago right after pay day and then my current bank account now on the same date - and say "Wow, I'm making less money than 10 years ago! How did that happen?" Or, I could compare my account at the END of the month 10 years ago, and the same time/month now and say "Holy cow, my salary has quadrupled!" Yes - there are other variables in there - such as when my paycheck arrives each month and what I'm doing with my money. Two data points is NEVER a sufficient measure to draw conclusions in science. Oh wait - you are not a scientist. THAT explains a lot!

Why don't you actually READ the IPCC report. I'm sure there are some big words in there - but the data there doesn't lie. Yes, I'll agree that statistically, you can often make numbers do what you want. But I've seen the graphs - the only statistics applied is a best fit line (as someone posted on this site).

I won't comment again - not really worth my time. Good luck with your quest to disprove this. Maybe I'll come back in 20 years and see if you're still around....

Im so sick of this Hoax libral money grabbing vote getting issue. It is a true hoax. How about stopping all those Icebreaking expidition ships that study this hoax that break up that ice every day. No, lets focus on taxing us to death and putting mure regulations on America while China focuses on creating jobs, buying and using oil and coal and kicking our ecomnys ass... Lets get smart and vote out all these libral hoaxters. Gosh......!

Yes, that's a good idea.

However, I have a better one. Study science (chemistry and physics for instance) and understand what is going on with global warming. By the way, I went to web site recommended here (National Snow and Ice Data Center's web) and the core of the study (Arctic sea ice younger, thinner as melt season begins) supports the existence of global warming. Or, maybe I just don't know how to read.

"Facts will always kill the Libs in any debate, but the drive-bys keep the Libs on the front page. Bankruptcy of some of these slugs doesn't seem such a bad idea."

I wonder, is this implies that wealthy republicans are to blame for the current economical crisis, but that is besides the point.

Anyway, the liberals that you would like to see bankrup are more likely to support tax money going to scientific research; therefore, determining more facts that you can use to win over debates.

Also, this research can continue disproving global warming . As technology advances it becomes easier and easier to prove to the public how wrong scientists have been. CO2 is after all a very difficult molecule to undertand (not really lol!) . Maybe with the new research you can also prove that evolution is also a myth, that the polar bears are actually multiplying like bunnies, that the current rates of plant and animal extinctions are not real, that overfishing is not anthropogenic, and that deforestation for building roads is not caused by humans.

You let the world know the truth!

This is funny, if you click on this link it shows a graph taken from the same article that is supposed to disprove global warming. The graph shows the March anomaly between 2005 to 2008, but an overall decline in artic ice from 1978 to 2008.

LOL

The article clearly shows a pattern in support of overall heat increase! If you want to dissprove global warming you should use one of the articles writen by one of the sicentists that received money from Exxon Mobil. Or at least be more obscure in how you manipulate scientific articles.

Sorry I do not believe this graph is correct. It shows ice lower in March 09 than March 79. As for an anomaly? it clearly shows the is trend going up the past 5 years. Will the real statisticians stand up? Give me the data, as long is it is not manipulated. I have no agenda.

I am not a scientist neither do i pretend to know much about the ice depths etc. But what i do know is the earths temperature and that of our atmosphere vary sometimes they decrease sometimes they increase. It has nothing to do with CO2 emissions by Human activity.

I don't know why people don't see it for what it is. Mass Propoganda! get everyone to think a certain way and you can control them! end of story!

if you're not a scientist, and you don't study this sort of thing, then your opinion is very uneducated. With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about. If all the scientists (except for the few funded by Exxon, of course) agree that all the evidence and studies collected over the last 30-40 years agree that human induced CO2 IS causing a large part of the warming..... then I have a very hard time believing your opinion.

okay, im not gonna lie here. I'm only a teenage kid. But I read alot about this topic of global warming.


I'm doing a report on how global warming isn't really happening. So far a lot is clear to me. Most companies invested in "Green" products are getting money. they want people to think there is global warming happening so that they can become rich. Marketing People.


look at Al Gore... i mean people are like "That guy is famous and says that global warming is real! It must be true!" People have to start thinking for themselves.


The truth is, yes, some ice is breaking off the ice caps and some ice sheets are deplenishing. But that is focused most upon one specific area. And, it is a natural process. What do they expect? ice sheets stay the same size forever?

Another thing, temps dont stay the same. They have to vary for different factor. Global Winds, Ocean currents, and so much more. So its not unusual for one place that is very cool to be a bit more warm for a bit. It could do with the jetstream or watever its called moving over the place and bring warmer air into the place. Any of those or some from some other factor is very likly.

I don't know why so many people are falling into this trap. The media should pick up on some studies or something! Maybe the media is making a profit out of this or something...


Point is, I'm a kid and know that sometimes people just want money. If it means lie to you, they will do it. If I picked up on this, why isn't most other people arnt?

Reading all the above I am remined of the three blind men and the elephant (various versions but to keep it short...) While walking they bumped into an elephant. The first reached out and grabbing the tail said this it was a huge vine, the second reached out and grabbing the leg said it was a tree, the third reaching out grabbed the trunk and said it was a snake.

In all science, you will find the one fact that will prove what ever point you want. The wise person will look at all the facts, find the common ground, define cause and effect and then form a conclusion rather than start with a conclusion and work backwards. Doing this, the fact of global warning can't be ignored, even with SHORT TERM trends to the contrary. CO2 is a green house gas, the more the warmer the climate, CO2 in the air now is higher than for thousands of years (check out any college meteorology text book, if not the internet).
The CO2 we are burning now in the form of oil, gas, coal is carbon formed from the plants millions of years ago. It took millions of years to lock that CO2 made by plants in those states (oil, gas, coal) and now we are releasing it into the air in a period of a 100 years or so. That may be an equilibrium for the earth (geologic time measured in millions of years) but for humans and our civilization where time is measured in generations (50-100 years) that is NOT a stable situation.

Antarctic may be expanding now but what about the rest of the word. Where here is there mention of the North Pole ice melting, and almost every (if not every) glacial system receding at unprecedented levels, (the Andes, Himalayas, Greenand). Where here is there mention of the sea level rise in the Polynesian islands? Where here is there mention of the permafrost melting under Alaskan towns? Where is there mention here that botanists are documenting a shift of plant growth to higher, previously colder, elevations?

Could it be that Antarctica, the coldest place on the planet, is reaping the benefit of warming everywhere else? Could it be that warmer air is holding more moister and when it reaches the cold place on the planet, the Antarctic, drops that moisture in the form of snow, allowing the Antarctic to grow?

There are other cycles, precession, sun spots, the non circular orbit of the earth. Although these may be relevant for climate changes in distant geologic time, they do not explain the rapid changes observed in the last 50-100 years.

Mind like parachute...

Just Me, I'd advise you to continue studying the science involved. While CO2 may be making a small contribution to the recent ESTIMATED global temperature increases(which peaked in 1998) there really is not scientific basis for saying that humans made more than a small, marginal increase in global temperatures. Even the majority of the IPCC scientists involved in the publications did not endorse a conclusion that the temperature increase was man made. The Anthropogenic Global Warming conclusion was the result of a small number(60 or so out of some 2000 scientists) politicians involved in vetting their own studies, writing the Policy summaries, and the Lame Media that took the one or two sentence media summaries and ran with them. The folks(I can't call them scientists) who did this form a small, insular group of like-minded individuals who have a strong personal interest in promoting global warming as a political issue.

The article's original author says:

"If you have doubts about the increase in ice you can run the numbers yourself at the National Snow and Ice Data Center's website (part of the University of Colorado and funded by the National Science Foundation)."

The link is a classic example of choosing the data to support the hypothesis. Any user, however, can change the display parameters from "Southern" to "Northern" and will find data supporting the LOSS of ice. Play with the site, compare years, compare winter and summer to different decades. NORTHERN data support global warming persectivee. But again, to look at only this data in exclusion of all others, is no argument for any perpsective.

And if you're wondering if more CO2 and global warming is a good thing, email someone living near a coast or in the arctic. I myself would prefer to live a few hundred miles off shore, less likely to have flood or drought.

Bias is no issue here. Climate science is not even an issue.
Take the raw data, relabel it time and x. Take the data set to anybody qualified and ask what can be validly said about change in x over time. The answer is not 43% increase.

I don't know anything about the antartic ice cap, but I know that for the last 5 years my hometown of Paducah, KY. has had the worst winters with the most snow ever on record! I have a very hard time buying into this global warming fabrication. Also if you happen to break one of those curly light bulbs, you will release mercury into the environment and must, by law, contact the EPA and they will advise you on the eight steps that you must take to minimize the spread of the mercury. Funny how these are only made out of the contry?? Just another bembocratic hoax to save the environment IMHO.

This whole global warming thing became for me a hoax after the supposed meeting of 2600 scientists an a UN sponsored conference and they announced the majority of them agreed that global warming was man made. When the actual vote was exposed less then 5% of those attending had agreed. It seems to me that scientists go to these conferences but pay no attention to the media out put.

This article has an interesting idea. I've gone to the site noted, and changed the years around in order to see the data output for myself. The output table can be modified in order to show more than one data point, so I've plugged in a different year in all 32 of the possible different rows showing March. After examing the data for the month of March for the last 31 years (no data in 1978) one trend that I notice is that extent has exceeded the median for the year in all but 4 of those year's data collection for March. A median isn't an average, it's the center point for all of the data. March is the end of summer in Antartica, warmer month right? Some months in each of those years had less ice, some had more ice. The OBVIOUS fact is in the SINGLE month of March in 1980 there was LESS ice than there was in March of 2009. It's been nearly 30 years, our planet has become more industrialized, more pollution, more cutting down trees, etc, etc... You'd think from a logical viewpoint there would be LESS ice in March of 2009 than in March of 1980. Global warming is controversial and fake. It's easy to argue about made-up things, let's argue about the actual color of grass being blue not green, I've seen blue-grass before!!! Or the color of the sky being purple, not blue, since I've seen purple skies before. It's all about how the data is presented.

Some observable disturbing content is that when one confronts a liberal and maybe doesn't even have a valid point the liberal resorts to name calling and personal attacks. It is obvious you idiot, cow farts are causing our sacred mother earth to get to warm. I suppose that even if the ice were getting thicker or for that matter thinner. It makes little difference what I say since all of us are uneducated morons who obviously can't speak on the same level as the righteous. Me, personally, it’s a hoax that will simply tax the hard working people more while the politicians grow fat off others and the liberals pant at the table hoping for a crumb to fall.

If saving the earth is so important to the likes of Al Gore and his followers, then why do they spend all their time flying around the world telling us to go green while they put out more emissions than a small country. Seems to me that this could be accomplished without all the hypocrisy, And furthermore that goes for all the international types seems to me they should lead by example.

However, i believe that we need to take care of this beautiful planet that God created. If that means driving hybrids, using solar panels and planting trees, let's do so. It is our duty to try to keep the beauty of this world intact. What right do we have to destroy it>
