Flooding the Qatarra Depression would contain about 88% of the excess ice melt from Greenland and be far less expensive than the wealth transfer schemes being proposed by the Globalists.
Yet none are advocating it. Why?
Because it doesn't give them political control of the levers of power.
Ping.
I thoroughly enjoyed the GW part of the article, however IMHO OSC blows up when I read this:
Meanwhile, there really are human-caused problems that must be dealt with, and very soon, too. Global warming isn’t one of them, but our oil supply definitely is. I’ll be back to that topic next week.
I’m willing to wait a week to see the “proof”, and I’m hoping he goes much deeper than I’m thinking at the moment.
you realize that water vapor is by far the most responsible for the greenhouse effect right?
Bump.
“Ecology,” “Environmentalism,” Global Warming,” is where the Communists went when it became unfashionable to be “Communists.” It is all the same people, the same religion.
Here is what these people are really saying: we don’t have the guts to deal with the real evils of the world, so lets have make believe enemies that we can stick are head in the sand with. I got news for your Bucko, the Jihadist don’t care how much CO2 escapes from your head, when they cut it off. Wake up, and get your head out of the global warming clouds!
Brod is crying wolf.
The MSM has been crying wolf for decades.
Don't trust main stream media. Their scare tactics have flip-flopped four times over the last eighty-some years.
The following graphs show that Earth is in a brief period of global warming called an interglacial. The longer time spans, the deep troughs are glacial periods. The line that runs across the graphs is the temperature in 1950 and listed as "0" on the left axis.
As can be seen in Figure 1-5, Earth appears ready to move toward another ice age in the cycle.
I'm more concerned with sustaining global warming to offset global cooling and the next ice age.

This first graph looks bad, doesn't it -- steeper upward temperature trend. Horizontal red line is temperature at 1950.
Figure 1-1 Global warming
The second graph shows today's temperature isn't out of the norm. Horizontal blue line is temperature at 1950.
Figure 1-2 Climate of the last 2400 years
The next graph shows a downtrend in temperatures from 8,000 years ago to today. The down trend is steeper in the recent 2,000 years. From left to right the upper spikes have lower highs while the lower spikes have lower lows. (The same effect can be seen in Figure 1-2, above.)
Figure 1-3 Climate of the last 12,000 years
This graph shows that agriculture and stationary societies emerged 8,000 years ago during a time frame when global temperature was much higher than normal, or average.
Figure 1-4 Climate of the last 100,000 years
The next graph shows that the recent 8,000 years was one of five brief hot spikes when glaciers were at minimums. With much longer troughs when glacials (ice ages) were the norm most of the time.

The graph below is reversed. That is, the left side is present day and the right side is 3 million years ago. It shows a 3 million year down trend toward widening extremes in the temperature cycle.
Figure 1-6 Climate for the last 3 million years
The final graph shows CO2 lagging temperature change -- not leading it.

When man can cause meaningful global warming yesterday would be a good time to begin thwarting the next ice age.

I have never heard from the MSM about the little ice age that was going on until about 1850. Seems to me that: 1)accurate temperature measurements probably date to the past 100-150 years and 2)as we move farther away from an ice age (albeit a small one) of course our temperatures are going to go up.
There was also a Medieval Warm period dating from around 800AD-1300AD where it was actually warm enough in England for them to plant grapes and for the Vikings to navigate to Greenland in ice free seas.
The climate cycles, and anyone who thinks we can impact that is a fricking idiot.

I’ll vote for any Republican Presidential candidate who will PROMISE Card a Cabinet seat, and convince him to take it. Yes, even Rudy.
