Thread: Global Warming Fact.

Allow me to spin this.
Global warming is happening. Mucho hot air being spewed by humans, not from the atmosphere.

Bovine flatulence.

Good one Cane Pole thanks.....

in the middle of summer on the lake, no breeze, lots of sunshine I am sure there is global warming.

The only global warming is the hot air coming out of Washington DC....LOL

Then don`t compare satellite pictures of the Greenland ice cap from 1980 and now, more than 1/4th of it has completely disappeared. btw in the last 3 months several ice REGIONS (they are far too HUGE to be called `ice bergs` ) have calved from the Ross Ice sheet. 1 is 6X the size of the state of Montana, the other is as big as Texas and California combined. Both were estimated at almost 1 mile thick, but as they drift away from Antartica they should both completely melt within about 3 yrs. And NOAA is predicting sometime next yr another ice REGION 2X the size of Alaska will join them ! (wonder how many gallons of water that is?) Global warming is as false as the idea that breathing the air in downtown Bejing is bad for your kid`s health...

Antarctic polar ice extent has set another new record, defying alarmist global warming claims. Surpassing the greatest month-of-April ice extent in recorded history, the new record throws cold water on alarmist claims that the Antarctic ice cap has crossed a melting point of no return.
The most recent Antarctic ice sheet alarm began with a paper examining a particular glacier in West Antarctica that “has long been considered prone to instability.” The paper speculates that a collapse of this particular glacier is unavoidable, though it will not actually collapse for at least a couple centuries and possibly not until 2900 AD.
Notably, while the majority of Antarctica is getting colder and the Southern Hemisphere polar ice cap is expanding, West Antarctica is a smaller portion of the continent that is experiencing modest warming. Taking advantage of this outlier trend in a smaller portion of the continent, the media has a history of highlighting modest warming in West Antarctica or a small retraction of West Antarctic sea ice and claiming this is caused by global warming and representative of Antarctica as a whole.
Global warming alarmists and their media allies are at it again. The Los Angeles Times published a story titled, “Irreversible collapse of Antarctic glaciers has begun, studies say.” The Seattle Post-Intelligencer weighed in with, “How Washington coastal cities will look when the Antarctic Ice Sheet melts.” The Christian Science Monitor published a story titled, “Catastrophic collapse of Antarctic ice sheet now underway, say scientists.”
The good news, beyond the less-than-alarming truth about the paper’s findings, is observations show Antarctic ice extent is undergoing a long-term expansion. Alarmists try to scare people into believing a “catastrophic collapse of Antarctic ice sheet [is] now underway” at the very time that the Antarctic ice extent is setting record after record.
It’s not just the Antarctic, either. Precise satellite measurements of both polar ice caps show no decline in polar ice since the satellite instruments were launched in 1979. Not only is total polar ice extent currently greater than the long-term average; polar ice extent has been greater than the long-term average for nearly all of the past 16 months.
