The bleat goes on.

Arctic Riviera ping.

So what is all that ice i see clogging harbors and the seas on deadliest catch?

[Admin Moderator]

And how did those conditions in the Pliocene occurr?

Natural causes.

[centurion316]

I am reliably informed that life in the Pliocene was sweet.

Or, it could get colder. Or stay the same.

Where’s my government grant?

[SpinnerWebb]

you still talking to Helen Thomas after all these years?

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx. They're just Shameless !

Now is the time to be buying beach front property on the Arctic Ocean. The price will never be better.

Global average surface temperatures during the mid-Pliocene were about 3°C (5.5°F) greater than today and within the range projected for the 21st century by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Dinosaur flatulence?

[o_zarkman44]

Great predictions based on 3 million years of speculation.
But for now, I think the arctic cold has moved to Missouri. And our ice is getting thicker.........

[Henchster]

This will help refine climate models, which currently underestimate the rate of sea ice loss in the Arctic.

In other words, tweek the computations to turn up the globull warming BS.

[icwhatudo]

90% of sea ice is located in the antarctic and is growing.

In general, the (arctic)ice edge is now at or slightly beyond its average location, with two notable exceptions: Hudson Bay and the Barents Sea.

Yeah, and During the era of the Dinosaurs, millions of years ago from 120MYA to 65MYA the CO2 levels in the atmosphere was 10X as it was today and the plant life was astounding, in fact it is what grew then that forms the Coal we use today.

And how did those conditions in the Pliocene occur?

"Lucy" and "Ardi" racing SUVs ....

And that beach property is sweet int he summer as the sun never sets, imagine a beautiful sunset that never ends but travels in a circle around the Horizon in the middle of June....

Simply amazing! Pass the Margaritas and the Shirley Temples.

How many SUVs were there during the Pliocene?

[CedarDave]

Did anyone see that courageous middle school student on Fox & Friends this morning? She complained about how all the classes were required to study Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and not given an opposing view point to consider. She complained to the school board and F&F also wrote a letter and got a response that “they would look into it.”

She was asked who could provide a contrary viewpoint and she mentioned Rush, Hannity and Laura Ingraham. Though good for starters, the film “The Great Global Warming Swindle” is a better one for the class and newer followup information on Climategate is definitely recommended.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Three million years ago today as a matter of fact. I remember it well. I went on a scuba diving expedition to visit the North Pole. Santa’s work shop and home was covered in a giant dome of glass similar to the one covering Atlantis.

Uh Oh, I'm sounding as rational as Al Gore.......better go take my Meds.

"So what is all that ice i see clogging harbors and the seas on deadliest catch?"

I believe it's called the Inconvenient Truth.

And, as ice and snow begin to blanket most of North America in record quantities and area, it's even more "truth" that the scientist will have to continue to ignore to peddle their social engineering catastrophes.
