Thanks...good info.

[Nipfan]

Thank you for this excellent post. Now all we have to do is make sure as many people as possible read it, or at least hear of it.

Thanx !

* Sea ice area and extent have continued to increase around Antarctica over the past few decades. Evidence shows that much of the reported thinning of Arctic sea ice that occurred in the 1990s was a natural consequence of changes in ice dynamics caused by an atmospheric regime shift, of which there have been several in decades past and will likely be several in the decades to come, totally irrespective of past or future changes in the air’s CO2 content. The Arctic appears to have recovered from its 2007 decline.

* Global studies of precipitation trends show no net increase and no consistent trend with CO2, contradicting climate model predictions that warming should cause increased precipitation. Research on Africa, the Arctic, Asia, Europe, and North and South America all find no evidence of a significant impact on precipitation that could be attributed to anthropogenic global warming.

* The cumulative discharge of the world’s rivers remained statistically unchanged between 1951 and 2000, a finding that contradicts computer forecasts that a warmer world would cause large changes in global streamflow characteristics. Droughts and floods have been found to be less frequent and severe during the Current Warm Period than during past periods when temperatures were even higher than they are today.

In short - eco-alarmist are nuts...

This might have worked better as three or four posts - it's lots of great stuff - with a heavy emphasis on LOTS...

I commented on the new NIPCC report here. It is full of old and tired arguments that have been debunked over and over again. Moreover, it is built on a very strong and unfounded faith in negative feedbacks from nature, which are hypothetical with sometimes sketchy, often contradictory, and sometimes no evidence of actually operating at a globally significant scale. This highlights an inconsistent view of uncertainty, and an unwillingness to weigh the evidence: “If it causes cooling, the uncertainty (or lack of evidence) doesn’t matter; if it causes warming, it’s too uncertain (and no evidence strong enough) to matter”. Not a very scientific way of looking at the world.

Just thought I would chime in before you are bashed here on FreeRepublic for being a new poster. Most here are extreme GW Skeptics, I am only a skeptic of the hysteria over GW, and the political and social goals of the liberals worldwide who will use GW to achieve their goals.

I must say, at least you have the guts to post who you are. There is a need for a "pro GW" voice, we have lost a previous poster who no longer seems to add his thoughts to the debates.
