How The Left Raises Mushrooms

Oh, we are definitely in a global cooling phase, which is too bad. Global warming has been very good for humanity.

No, it's not. The global temps plateaued at least 15 years ago. The Arctic ice cover is at "normal" levels (whatever those really are) unlike the alarmist crap spewed out by the likes of olfraud and his ilk. Furthermore when it was WARMER, during the Holocene Thermal Maximum, none of the catastrophes that the revisionists warn us about ever happened.

Adapt always, but don't worry about global warming. That's a good thing. When it's cold it's bad. Read some history some time and really understand what is happening. The revisionist BS is just that... BS.

There is no plateau for any time period, 10 15, 20 years ago. Temperature goes up some years and down some years. 2012 recorded the lowest extent of artic ice since they began recording artic ice melts. A warmer world has been a boon for the human race in the last couple hundred years. I don't know what the consequences of a warmer world will be (nobody else does either) but unless we have a major cooling event, I think the human race will find out.

Actually it wasn't. When they actually looked they were able to determine that wind had blown the sea ice into smaller rafts which is why the refreeze happened so fast. The ice was there it was just in different places than normal. That's the problem with sea ice as a metric. Just remember they havn't been able to surface a sub at the north pole for decades in this supposed warmest time ever...

And yes, there most certainly IS a plateau. In fact there is a considerable amount of evidence that shows we are heading into a period of cooling that will last for between 50 and 200 years so you will find that out soon enough, and, if history is any guide, the cooler world will be very hard for all life on this planet.

Yes it was.
This model study examines the impact of an intense early August cyclone on the 2012 record low Arctic sea ice extent. The cyclone passed when Arctic sea ice was thin and the simulated Arctic ice volume had already declined ~40% from the 2007–2011 mean. The thin sea ice pack and the presence of ocean heat in the near surface temperature maximum layer created conditions that made the ice particularly vulnerable to storms. During the storm, ice volume decreased about twice as fast as usual, owing largely to a quadrupling in bottom melt caused by increased upward ocean heat transport. This increased ocean heat flux was due to enhanced mixing in the oceanic boundary layer, driven by strong winds and rapid ice movement. A comparison with a sensitivity simulation driven by reduced wind speeds during the cyclone indicates that cyclone-enhanced bottom melt strongly reduces ice extent for about 2 weeks, with a declining effect afterward. The simulated Arctic sea ice extent minimum in 2012 is reduced by the cyclone but only by 0.15 × 106 km2 (4.4%). Thus, without the storm, 2012 would still have produced a record minimum.

There has been no leveling off in temperatures. Some years it goes up, some years it goes down.

Evidence or speculation?

You know the inmates have thrown in the towel when they start blaming the media for the reason things aren't going their way.

The media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party, so what's absurd about blaming it?

The first part is absurd so blaming the absurd is adsurd

Why wasn't Bush prosecuted for the crimes committed at Abu Ghraib?

Oh yes!

It's so much worse to put underpants on a terrorist's head than it is to kill a terrorist and a bunch of innocent people with a drone strike!

Thumbs up for that post

Wait...

 

[boedicca]

Any evidence that Bush personally ordered a hit?

Cuz Obama brags about how he reviews and selects all of the drone targets.

earlier you said it was just panties over the head.

So that means this guy isn't really dead?
