My question -- if the Arctic perennial ice cover actually shrinks this much in a decade, will Senator Inhofe still be claiming that global warming is a hoax?

Sounds like Alaskan land may soon be more valuable.

I'm sorry, but didn't the entire ocean die like 5 years ago from all the aerosol spray we used in the '80s? I could have sworn there were a bunch of leftists and "scientific studies" proving how that was going to happen...

I ran my own simulation. We don't need to worry about global warming.

Global warming is NOT a hoax. It's real. What's NOT true is the spin that humans have anything to do with it. This planet has gone through icy cycles for millions of years. We just happen to be coming out of one since humans have been able to write thier observations down.

I hope so. He's about one of the only ones out there with any sense.

If I promise to mail a bag of ice to the north poll would you send me $20?

Bookmark your thread and we'll revisit it in 2016.

Does it bother anyone else that every time dire predictions are made that they are always set out in terms of decades where a goodly portion of the people now here to read these forecasts will likely be dead when the real proof comes in?

Lately it seems that every published study is focused on a single element of the overall process and bolstered more by assumed feedback scenarios that have no counter influence in climatology but instead live entirely within the algorithmic realm of the computers used to create the prediction.

The problem with these "imminent" disasters is that they commence at a snail's pace, And we probably won't live to see the disaster occur. Hope this helps.

Global warming due to man made green house gases is a hoax perpetrated by enviromentalists who tried to sell mass transit, smart growth, zero population growth, etc., but the people would not buy it so they are selling "you are all going to die"

Global warming is a fact, but whether man is causing it is in dispute and whether or not it is bad is also in dispute.

The earth has been warmer and colder in the past without any help from man.

Further, if it comes to an ice age or a hot period, a hot period is preferable. That is it will be better to be a few degrees warmer than colder.

Easier and cheaper to get Siberian oil to market. Sounds like global warming is a good thing.

My question: if it doesn't, and in fact perennial ice cover stays the same or even increases, will the global warming wonks shut up? They've made a a pretty strong prediction here about what will happen within a decade. So, if it doesn't...

The earth is always either cooling or warming, so whichever position you take you will have a 50/50 chance of being correct. The relevant question is, What is causing climate change? Anyone who thinks it is smoke from cigarettes or flatulence from cows is a certified whack-o.

And when these doom stories fade away will you still be claiming it is not? No one is denying there has been some warming. It is the doomsday crap that is passed off as 'science' that people with a brain object to.

If we continue to worry about global warming instead of Iran with nukes, warming of any kind will be irrelevent. We will have already been "warmed".

If the hockey stick theory is so accurate, what made the glaciers disappear over the great lakes region and Canada over the last 20,000 years? Even if you accept the lies of the hockey stick theory for the last 2000 years, what about the last 20,000 years? Why hasn't the earth's climate been stable for the last 20,000 years? Was that man's fault too? There is nothing scientific or honest about Global Warming fear-mongering.

The study released Tuesday concludes that reduced rates of greenhouse gas emissions could slow the ice loss. "Our research indicates that society can still minimize the impacts on Artic [sic] ice," Holland said.

The ice is melting and it could get worse, but the enviroleftists can save the world if you do exactly what they say.

Read State of Fear by Michael Crichton. The important thing isn't the issue of global warming - it's the blatant fearmongering by the government, aided and abetted by the press. No reasonable news article should contain the kind of histrionics I gleaned from the article.

Are these the same people who failed to accurately predict the number of hurricanes and tropical storms during this past hurricane season because they failed to accurately predict the emergence of El Nino? I thought so. And now they want us to believe their predictions for the year 2040. No thank you.
