Are they seriously just repeating these “facts” in the hope that they just become accepted?
Huh? What scientists??
It’s not necessary to consult a compass to see that the sun is rising in the east, but other phenomena of the natural world don’t fit as easily into the realm of “settled science.” That includes the nature of the earth’s changing climate, despite President Obama’s insistence that is does. New evidence about the impact of greenhouse gases on the earth’s temperatures indicates that the president and his Environmental Protection Agency have some explaining to do. His account should spell out exactly what he expects to accomplish by spending a large fortune on climate control.
Harvard researchers published a paper in the journal Geophysical Research Letters last month indicating that U.S. levels of atmospheric methane, a greenhouse gas, increased more than 30 percent between 2002 and 2014. The scientists compiled satellite and surface readings of methane to arrive at their finding, one that directly contradicts the EPA’s estimate that methane during that period had not risen at all, owing to the agency’s efforts to hold it down with air-quality regulations.
The implication of the research is unsettling. It challenges the central premise of the president’s climate change policy — an undeniable link between increasing greenhouse gases like methane and rising temperatures — and that the government must step in with strict regulations to save the planet. In defiance of computer-model forecasts, there has been an 18-year “pause” in the warming trend even as heat-trapping gas was supposed to have billowed across the landscape. The contradiction between prediction and measurement has the look of a well-cooked hypothesis.
Stubborn environmentalists reached a different conclusion from the new study. In an upcoming cover story in The Nation magazine titled “Global Warming’s Terrifying New Chemistry,” Bill McKibben, a “climate activist,” accuses the EPA of failing to block hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a natural gas drilling technique in which methane sometimes escapes into the air. “We need to stop the fracking industry in its tracks, here and abroad,” he argues.
This is a convenient argument for opposing fossil fuels in any form, an argument drawn from fantasy, not facts. “The global burden of atmospheric methane has been increasing over the past decade, but the causes are not well understood,” say the Harvard researchers. “The U.S. has seen a 20 percent increase in oil and gas production and a ninefold increase in shale gas production from 2002 to 2014 … but the spatial pattern of the methane increase seen by [the satellite] does not clearly point to these sources.” Just as methane doesn’t track with states where fracking is concentrated, the measurements don’t track with higher temperatures. “Facts are stubborn things,” John Adams observed.
I hate when continents run away. You never know what they will bump into.
I thought the pole would hold it in place.
Fact: 90% of the world’s ice is in Antarctica.
.
Fact: The part of Antarctica which is warming and losing ice is the Western Peninsula, which comprises 2% of the continent.
.
Fact: The rest of Antarctica is cooling and gaining ice.
The Medieval Warm Period was warmer.
The Roman Warm Period was warmer.
The Minoan Warm Period was warmer.
And that's just three warmer periods since the last Ice Age.
They should start publishing their climate hoax articles exclusively on April 1st, so that they can find a way to save face once the scientific field has been de-politicized.
The vikings stopped pillaging Europe, founded colonies in Iceland, Greenland and what is now Newfoundland, planted grape arbors, raised large herds of dairy cattle and experienced the good life until temperatures reverted to more or less normal patterns and ushered in the Little Ice Age.
There are no credible accounts of global cities being flooded or islands sinking beneath the oceans.
The molten iron core generates our protective magnetic shield. If the core cools and solidifies our shield collapses and the solar wind blows our atmosphere away.

2015 was easily one of the coldest years for which we have reliable records.
And the expanding ice at Antarctica sliding off into the ocean changes nothing WRT ocean levels.
Soon the whole southern ocean will be solid ice, and one will be able to walk from Africa to America.

Here is a short article about what is really happening. It’s the earth’s magnetic field that is getting weaker. The so called scientists are pushing the oil consumption in order to gain credibility for themselves, and Al Gore found a way to make money off of the hysteria that they have created.

If the temperature there should rise so high that the Antarctic started melting, something would have knocked us out of orbit and we'd probably be on a collision course with the sun
Why is beachfront property worldwide going for ever increasing prices when it’s due to be underwater in “a few years”? Or - why are insurance companies still writing policies on said properties? 2 and 2 aren’t adding up to 4.
Not only that, I saw a Japanese documentary about how the sea could release giant, prehistoric creatures that look like a T-Rex. These things can breath fire and have laser eyes. They will attack crowded urban centers. Yes, global warming is that bad.
Hey, if some dufus is warned that the ocean will rise...
And he doesn’t move...
He can expect to get wet!
