Learn to read.

Well, it is only moronic to the same level as the "what about that global warming?" ones that pop up whenever there's a cold winter day. Neither come from any actual scientific knowledge about the stuff.

only takes a few degrees and we're all living under the sea with Ariel. Can you tell the difference between 94 and 96?

What is that? A picture of the North pole?

Yes. The ice caps are shrinking in the north and growing in the south. Time to eliminate all carbon emissions. People will have to wear plastic bags over their heads to catch the carbon dioxide they exhale.

So, I give an article referring to the ice growing in the south, and he shows me ice melting in the north? Makes sense. Could it be the Earth goes thru natural processes of cleansing itself. We warm, we cool, we warm again, we cool again. Natural. Not man made.

well from your own article, it said half of the South pole was shrinking and being made up for by growth by the other. So effectively not really growin. I am showing you the North. Aggregately, they're shrinking.

Australia Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica.
"Sea ice conditions have remained stable in Antarctica generally," Allison said.

buy ya know...whateverz.

Oh my goodness you cant be serious.

Last I checked the medieval warming period was hotter than anything we experience now and the whole world wasnt floodedby the ice caps.

Actually look at and study the science instead of repeating Al Gores BS documentary.

And sooooooooo NOAA was collecting this data over the past 2000 years using their geostationary satellite hovering over the Egyptian pyramids, is that correct?

Gotta love computer extrapolations based on weather data assimilated by staff meteorologists over the last 20 centuries.

soooooo what you're saying is that Jmog has no way of knowing what the temps were in Medieval times? Because I was responding to that specific point. How would he know without some fancy science doo-hickey thingy? He can't make that claim if I can't post the graph.

I forget, exactly, but obviously there are no thermostats found perfectly preserved in tar pits. I think they plug in data from rocks and such to their models to "predict" what temperatures were back then. That's why it's kind of a big deal when those models prove wildly inaccurate at predicting just a few years in the future. And let's not jump too much on the science of those models as it's clearly a nearly impossible task to model. But when you use your model to pound the table and set off alarms, and then that model is proven inconsistent at best, then it makes you look like a fraud.

And of course there's a bit more serious issue with some obvious bias, even beyond the CRU scandal. When you're dealing with data like this, it's pretty easily - intentionally or not - to manipulate assumptions and transformations to get the result you're looking for. And the vast majority of research money here is not coming from people hoping that climate change is a hoax. And for obvious reasons, within that scientific community you either go with the flow or rendered irrelevant, for the most part.

Among all the other problems we have today, there's a growing issue of supposedly objectived and sound scientific research becoming politicized - we are seeing it with the FDA, the EPA, CBO, this climate stuff....Oddly enough, NASA seems to be one of the better sources as they may have some more integrity and also more insulated with their budget (or should say were).

Yes, and I want to take away medicare from old people so they die, and then give that money to Halliburton as tax breaks to outsource more jobs overseas.

You mean 'Gummers' dont die if they have Medicare?!?!?

DING! DING! DING! You are our grand prize winner! Johnny, tell our contestant what he has won!

Right you are, Frank. Gut has just won an all-expense paid trip where he and his special someone will fly in Al Gore's private jet and be chauffeured in one of Al's SUV's to the Gore Mansion to spend two exciting weeks beside Al's awesomely large swimming pool. But wait there's more! Gut will also be among Al's guests as the Gore Man rolls out a poolside sneak preview of his upcoming sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth"........."Convenient Lies and the Fools Who Believe the Lies."
