Gullibility reigns throughout history:

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot.... Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone... Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. -

Let me get this right! I don't know your point of view, but I like the name Dante. I think that sea ice in the arctic is going to melt real soon, I'd say around 2015. With all the loss of Northern Hemisphere snow cover, Greenland will melt fast. That sends water to western Antarctica and it will melt too.

I'm not into those doomsday prediction, but I fear what my family will have to face. It isn't going to be long in the future.

If you assholes had science on your side, you wouldn't have to resort to hyperemotional fear-mongering.

As it is, I wish you'd be honest for once: You're pushing the AGW cult not out of any concern for the environment (because you don't give a damn about it), but because you want world socialism and greater government control over individual lives.

Hyper-emotional fear mongering? That is the environmentalist left with an agenda. An honorable agenda, but an admittedly alarmist one at times. and they often have science on their side

remember acid rain, smog from autos/trucks, cigarettes not causing cancer?

The wingnut agenda has forever been using junk science to create doubt. Why? They are reactionaries. They would burn down the house to kill a spider if they were told spiders are leftists.

I'm sure it comforts your scared and feeble mind to believe that, but no.

The left wants to burn down the economies of the Western world to "save it" from AGW. Not only can they not prove their claims about CO2, but they have no idea what impact their meddling with the biosphere would do.

But it's okay, since they mean well.

Evidently a consensus in science on man's contribution to global warming/climate change is different from the political one.

I had no idea the Scientific community world wide and the Academies of Science wanted to burn down the economies of the Western world.

Does FOX News know about this?

I'd look into the best scientific predictions we've got and hedge my bets based on that if I were you.

I don't know what this means. Every single post I've ever seen you make is calling for one liberty or another to be stripped.

Until the consequence create intolerable situations for enough people, nobody is going to do anything, or even prepare for consequences. Then you will hear the 'Conservatives' demanding the scalps of the scientists because they did not warn them. Mark my words, they will use this lie.

and they'll blame Al Gore and President Obama. seriously. I'm not saying 'the end is near' but it does look to be a tough time coming. I will probably not live to see how it all works out, but I do cherish being around to rub their smarmy faces in the shit as t starts hitting the fan. It's right around the corner

Personally, i'm looking forward to the shit hitting the fan, brother........No snow and ice means that whenever we decide to take a trip to Big Bear, Arrowhead, Tahoe, etc., we won't have to spend the time pulling over to chain up my Hummer or the wifes Escalade, nor will we have to spend money on chains....Thereby leaving more money to gas and oil those big puppies up and take some trips out to the desert and run over all sorts of endangered species and plant life.

Cool shit, if ya' ask me!

IPCC, shit those people are morans. That arctic sea ice could be gone by 2015. The Northern Hemisphere has lost 6 million square kilometers of snow cover in June.

It's anecdotal. The question is what's happening next.

I don't know, but it isn't going to be good.

Now, why can't idiots figure that out?

Oh, i'm looking forward to next summer....The wife and and I are taking our first trip to Australia......Can't wait!.....The weather and water should be nice and "warm", just the way we like it, and the way it has been for countless numbers o' years!

Record Heat Fuels Widespread Fires in Australia
The New York Times
By MATT SIEGEL
Published: January 9, 2013
(excerpts)
SYDNEY, Australia — Bush fires raging across some of the most populous parts of Australia — feeding off widespread drought conditions and high winds — pushed firefighters to their limits and residents to their wits’ end on Wednesday as meteorologists tracked the country’s hottest spring and summer on record into uncharted territory. Four months of record-breaking temperatures stretching back to September 2012 have produced what the government says are “catastrophic” fire conditions along the eastern and southeastern coasts of the country, where the majority of Australians live. Data analyzed on Wednesday by the government Bureau of Meteorology indicated that national heat records had again been set. The average temperature across the country on Tuesday was the highest since statistics began being kept in 1911, at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), exceeding a mark set only the day before. Meteorologists have had to add two new color bands to their forecast maps, extending their range up to 129 degrees Fahrenheit. “From this national perspective, one might say this is the largest heat event in the country’s recorded history”, said David Jones, manager of climate monitoring prediction at the Bureau of Meteorology. Firefighters were struggling to contain huge bushfires in Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales, which have scorched around 500 square miles of forest and farmland since Tuesday. Fires on the island state of Tasmania off the country’s southern coast have destroyed more than 300 square miles since Friday.

No confirmed deaths have been reported in connection with the fires, but about 100 people have been unaccounted for since a fire destroyed around 90 homes in Dunalley, Tasmania, last week. State agricultural officials say that tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are believed to have been killed in the fires, which have torn through some of the country’s most productive agricultural and farming regions. The fires have grown so large that they are plainly visible in photographs taken from the International Space Station on Tuesday and published by NASA. The intensity of the bushfires and the unrelenting heat prompted some climate scientists to decry what they see as public indifference to man-made climate change, which is widely seen as leading to more frequent extreme weather. “Those of us who spend our days trawling — and contributing to — the scientific literature on climate change are becoming increasingly gloomy about the future of human civilization”, Elizabeth Hanna, a researcher at the Australian National University in Canberra, told The Sydney Morning Herald. “We are well past the time of niceties, of avoiding the dire nature of what is unfolding, and politely trying not to scare the public”. Dr. Jones, the government climate scientist, echoed that opinion. “This event is turning out to be hotter, more spatially expansive and the duration is quite remarkable”, he said in an interview. “And that suggests climate change”. Tuesday’s high added to a growing list of records set during this extended heat wave, including the first time the country has recorded seven consecutive days of temperatures above 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit) and eight straight days to start the year that were among the 20 hottest on record. And there is little prospect of imminent relief.

That is one of the first intelligent things I have heard you say. Now follow that thought for a little while. Exactly who are the present day scientific superstars beholden to if they want to maintain the sort of lifestyle that 10 billion plus dollars in grant money per year can provide?

Why was it significant enough to be constantly mentioned by you deniars prior to that record of 1934 being eclipsed?

Not Even Close: 2012 Was Hottest Ever in U.S.
By JUSTIN GILLIS
Published: January 8, 2013

The numbers are in: 2012, the year of a surreal March heat wave, a severe drought in the Corn Belt and a huge storm that caused broad devastation in the Middle Atlantic States, turns out to have been the hottest year ever recorded in the contiguous United States.

A Record Worth Wilting For: Death Valley Is Hotter Than ... (December 29, 2012)
Rising Temperatures Threaten Fundamental Change for Ski Slopes (December 13, 2012)

How hot was it? The temperature differences between years are usually measured in fractions of a degree, but last year’s 55.3 degree average demolished the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree Fahrenheit.

If that does not sound sufficiently impressive, consider that 34,008 daily high records were set at weather stations across the country, compared with only 6,664 record lows, according to a count maintained by the Weather Channel meteorologist Guy Walton, using federal temperature records.

That ratio, which was roughly in balance as recently as the 1970s, has been out of whack for decades as the country has warmed, but never by as much as it was last year.

Extreme temperatures force new color code for weather map

Happened in Australia too.

More bullshit. Al Gore states right up front that he is not a scientist. But the facts and figures that he presents are from some of the most prominent scientists in the world. And you are just another asshole claiming that the present scientists from every nation and political system in the world are committing fraud for money.

There is not a single Scientific Society, not a single Academy of Science, and not a single University in the world that states that AGW is a fraud. In fact, virtually all state that AGW is a fact, and a clear and present danger.

Global warming as religious faith--Michael Barone - NYPOST.com

from the linked article;

A similar but more peaceable fate is befalling believers in what can be called the religion of the global warming alarmists.

They have an unshakeable faith that manmade carbon emissions will produce a hotter climate, causing natural disasters. Their insistence that we can be absolutely certain this will come to pass is based not on science -- which is never fully settled, witness the recent experiments that may undermine Einstein’s theory of relativity -- but on something very much like religious faith.

All the trappings of religion are there. Original sin: Mankind is responsible for these prophesied disasters, especially those slobs who live in suburbs and drive their SUVs to strip malls and tacky chain restaurants.

The need for atonement and repentance: We must impose a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, which will raise the cost of everything and stunt economic growth.

Ritual, from the annual Earth Day to weekly recycling.

Indulgences, like those Martin Luther railed against: private jet-fliers like Al Gore and sitcom heiress Laurie David can buy carbon offsets to compensate for their carbon-emitting sins.

Corporate elitists, like General Electric’s Jeff Immelt, profess to share this faith, just as cynical Venetian merchants and prim Victorian bankers gave lip service to the religious enthusiasms of their days. Bad for business not to. And if you’re clever, you can figure out how to make money off it.

Believers in this religion have flocked to conferences in Rio de Janeiro, Kyoto and Copenhagen, just as Catholic bishops flocked to councils in Ferrara and Trent, to codify dogma and set new rules.
