Greenpeace Leader Admits Arctic Ice Exaggeration
BBC ^ | BBC

Posted on 11/26/2009 11:38:24 AM PST by Lokibob

Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace, admitted that his organization's recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was "a mistake." Greenpeace said in a July 15 press release that there will be an ice-free Arctic by 2030 because of global warming. BBC reporter Stephen Sackur on the "Hardtalk" program pressed Leipold until he admitted the claim was wrong.

I have often wondered how ocean levels could dramatically rise with the melting of ocean icebergs, since frozen water is less dense than sea water.

But the internationalist democrat's ABCNNBCBS won't ever publish the retraction - They will merely advertise the trip Obama is going to make to Copenhagen to sell US (the US economy) out for international taxes to global dictators.

Greenland and Antarctica have mostly land borne ice. So, if they melted, there would be an increase. Of course Antartica has WAY more ice. (BTW, temperatures in Antartica have been declining since 1955.)

Although even if they were to rise, there would be a ways to go before the ice would start to melt. Annual mean temperature is below -10 cel. for all of Antarctica! (-60 cel. at the pole, brrrr...)

"Global warming" was a scam all along.
And now it is... settled.

Are you kidding?

It would be like giving a bank robber an automatic weapon to use to rob the bank that they have their money deposited in.

Climate change....and after that, who knows...

Back to acid rain perhaps?

Something will be perpetrated to take from those who have to give to those others who already have more.

So our strategy is this: vilify everyone (Al Gore, Jay Inslee, Barbara “please-do-not-call-me-maam-because-I-spent-a-lot-of-time-earning-the-title-of-Senator” boxer, Nancy Pelosi, et al.). Never, ever let the American public forget that these loonies fell for the biggest scan in history. Which shows they are crazy and have no business in Congress.
