Where's the next ice age that these same <expletive deleted>s were predicting 25 years ago?

"Arctic ice cap to vanish in 80 years"

Found growing between Hillary's thighs!

[Maelstrom]

Complaints about a longer growing season and a potential end to all hunger that isn't created politically?

Geoff Jenkins, head of climate change prediction, said only a few icebergs would be left. "Our figures suggest that virtually all the ice will be gone," he said.

Umm, Geoff, darling, the arctic pack ice breaks up nearly every summer, and is mostly just a bunch of icebergs.

There is also published information that talks about periods of arctic sea ice reduction that goes back centuries. Somehow the ice always comes back again.

This "story" is all about the Canadian ratification of Kyoto (as if they would follow through) and just another chance to bash USA.

Inever had much use for it anyway.

You mean, no more ice fishing?

I'm going to let you guys in on something these meteorologists and climatologists don't have a clue about. Between the years 1300-1400 the this planet sank into what is called the little ice age. Before the ice age average global temperatures were two degrees higher than they are today. We began coming out of this little ice age around 1850 and are still climbing out of it today. Global warming is a lie. If these climatologists made a ten second search on the history of climate change they would discover we are still below the warm temperatures that were experienced during the late roman period and early Middle ages.

Arctic ice cap to vanish in 80 years!

Just the end of the last ice age coming up. Now if I were Gore the Bore, I would spend hundreds of billions of dollars attempting to change the weather. </sarcasm>

The effect of an open Arctic Ocean could be significant. Currently the air in the Arctic is both cold and dry. The northern islands of Canada are the drier than other parts of North America, except for the southwestern deserts.

On consequence would be increased moisture in the atmosphere. This traps more sunlight during the summer and results in additional heating.

Another consequence is that the southwesterly winds off the Arctic Ocean would result in a great deal more rain and snow in northern Canada. This may result in the start of a new glacier building cycle there. If there is a significant amount of rain or snow melt being introduced into the north Atlantic, this could reduce the Gulf Stream and its heat transfer from the south. This could trigger new glaciation over northern Europe.

The real problem is that the Kyoto climate treaty had no provision placing limits
and punishments on the real cause of global warming.
If the Sun had been prohibited from having cycles, and punished
if it continued, Kyoto would have been worthy of
President sink masters signature.

This is good news for the Canadians. Now they can rape the north pole like they have been doing on Vancouver Island.

Arctic ice cap to vanish in 80 years, study says Kyoto climate treaty came 'too late' to save polar ice from melting.

Thanks to Jonathan Leake for the "hot" tip. When it melts, Florida will be mostly under water. My trash dump sitting on a hill will be beach front property, and I'll get rich. Since he gave me the tip, I'll offer him a 10% discount on the corner lot. However, he will have to remove the bottles and cans.

ice cap missing ...heck I still cant find my Milwaukee Braves hat I lost moving a few years back

[IronJack]

This will come as bad news to those of you with ocean-front condos on the Ross Ice Shelf.

[SW6906]

I remember reading an article a while back where the whole "the polar ice cap is shrinking/breaking up" theory was dismissed as an inaccurate analysis of the data because they forgot to take into account the fact that the ice is constantly moving. When they took that into account, they found there was no significant loss of ice.

Something like that. I did several searches but now I can't find it.....

In other news, Greenlanders, Russians and some Canadians are eagerly anticipating the climate change.
