USAToday ain’t giving up.
Just this week they had stories on record rises in coastal seawater levels in the US AND record high temps in Russia.
Stick it to The Mann.
Al Gore may be “deflated” by the increasing ice, but he’s grown filthy rich on his environmental scams and the sale of his Green TV station to Al Jazeera.
They say that most Greenies are like watermelons—green on the outside, red on the inside.
Leftist Al reverses this—he’s red on the outside, and green on the inside.
All the “warming” somehow got into the deep parts of the ocean.
This link does not work (possibly because I’m using a ‘smart’ phone)
The MSM just won’t let this die.
Too much invested in it I guess.
Like all these deals, a tough slog to refute.
I will give them credit for an adroit switch from “global warming” to “climate change”.
Now every friggin’ storm is a “crisis”.
I thought I saw Al Bore in the grocery store buying dry ice and packing it in his shorts..........
He’ll? Shouldn’t they be relieved?
Sweet little gem buried in the article
BTW, your linky is bad..
Hah...Libtards drone on about how "green energy" will raise the poor out of poverty where in most cases he drives them into poverty because their few resources are sucked away into green boondoggles...

I’m not so sure the news about arctic ice is accurate, the folks who track it don’t show the record ice the article talks about.
Oh and in the charts, “anomaly” means “difference from average”.
Any large expanse of ocean, even at the Equator, where the sun’s direct influence is most intense, grows colder with the depth, from 500 to 1,000 meters down, until the temperature reaches a steady level, approximately 38 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Centigrade It is at this point water is most dense, and sinks to the lowest points of the ocean. Upwelling from the depths brings this cold water near the surface, and has an overall COOLING effect on the greater part of the oceans, and consequently on the atmosphere that lies above the ocean surface.
There are deep currents, caused by the melting of polar ice, which is at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Centigrade but it is LESS dense than the cold saline water that lies beneath it. It too is warmed to the warmer saline surface currents, but the warmer saline water is LESS dense that the less saline meltwater, which sinks BELOW the warmer saline water, causing a vertical mixing and a new dynamic for current flow.
The whole point is, that the deep parts of the ocean are NOT subject to warming, no matter what Al Gore says. Even if an underwater volcanic vent opens, and water seeps down to the magma, the water will NOT turn to steam, but is ejected under great pressure, cooling rapidly as the hot water (which may be close to 700 degrees Centigrade), but making little upset to the overall temperature of the depths. The pressure is so great the water cannot become steam, and is cooled long before it could effect much stirring at great depths.
But in a localized area of relatively shallow ocean, such as the Arctic, enough of this very hot ejected water may reach the underside of the polar ice the cause melting from beneath. This is not in fact global warming, but global COOLING, as the pressure valve is popping off. Doesn’t have a darned thing to do with humanity, and it cares not one whit about polar bears.
In case one wonders how there could be undersea vents in the Arctic Ocean, part of the Pacific “ring of fire” extends up into the undersea parts off the coast of Alaska and Siberia.
If we did not have a crooked justice system Al Gore would be in jail for fraud.
A very good video, thanks.
Funny he should mention 1994, I was at the GM Cold Weather Test Facility in N. Ontario in Jan 1994 and it never went above 0F until late in the month. -30F or lower most nights.
Here’s the link to the statistics the article was referring to. It’s true, the ice coverage in the Arctic is 50% greater than last year according to Europe’s Cryosat spacecraft.

I don’t think so, the justice system didn’t send previous failed prophets of doom like Charles Taze Russell or William Miller to the hoosegow.
Errant religious prophecies are usually exempt from fraud prosecution, and “global warming” is a religion.
