As always, Anthony Watts has provided excellent scientific details around climate change.  In this post, Watts explores the recovering sea ice with a graph that shows how 2007 was worse than 2008 and that this year has the potential to be recovering much more quickly than in previous years.
Check out my Arctic Ice Fact Check article from last month to see the scientific predictions on arctic ice loss and the painful reality - well, painful if you were the scientist making the predictions.

Birds »

Having the face of global warming be represented by soft and cuddly polar bears isn’t good enough.  Penguins have been added to the list as endangered birds whose population - from one-half to three-quarters - face decline or extinction due to global warming if the global temperature jumps two degrees Celsius.  The WWF bodyslammed a lack of agreement among nations to fight climate change and urged that a new deal be reached to succeed the Kyoto Protocol to help save the penguins.  From the article:
While the global average temperature rise …

Methane »

A Russian research ship in the Arctic has discovered methane bubbles rising from the sea floor which, if you listen to anyone in on the global warming hoax, is certain doom.  I believe the scientists quoted in this article call it a “ticking time bomb”.  However, the article does go on to mention it’s thought that “huge methane releases may have been responsible for mass extinctions in Earth’s distant past.” Were those historical methane releases from the ocean floor, too?  If so, can you explain how temperatures were high enough …

Rain »

I guess this is why global warming has been renamed to climate change.  More rain has been predicted as a consequence of climate change.  James Bruce, a Canadian climate change expert, says that rain events may double in Canada around the end of the century and that changes in the environment are more disastrous than that predicted by the IPCC.  I suppose the 9% increase in Arctic ice this year, the Antarctic ice growing over the last 20 years, record snowfall and cold temperatures in places around the world last …

Maybe there is record Arctic ice melt after all.  Since ice measurements have only been occurring by satellite for the last 29 years, I’d say the environmentalists and global warming hoaxers have little to no historical record on which to base their comparisons.  In fact, Read More: GlobalWarmingHoax.com studied the temperature data from 2007 and it to be relative to temperature data prior to 1960.  So, sure, there may be record ice loss.  But it’s like saying you have a bad driving record after an accident on your first day on …

Back on June 27th, the news media predicted a greater than 50% chance that the Arctic would be completely ice free this summer.  Now that summer is effectively over for the Arctic and cooler temperatures are prevailing, let’s take a moment to see what really happened this summer.  NewsBusters wraps this up nicely, reporting that 1.74 million square miles of ice cover still exists in the Arctic, which makes the scientific predictions off by precisely 1.74 million square miles.  Close, but not close enough!

By James Nash
A recent poll of 530 climatologists in 27 countries showed 34.7 percent of interviewees endorsed the notion that a substantial part of the current global warming trend - which might see temperatures rise by a degree or two, on average, by century ’s end - is caused by man ’s industrial activities: driving cars and the like.
More than a fifth - 20.5 percent - rejected this “anthropogenic hypothesis.” Half were undecided. The skeptics now include the 85 climate experts who signed the 1995 Leipzig Declaration; the …

Disputing Global Warming »

[8 Sep 2008 | No Comment | 90 views]

The global warming myth continues unabated: scientists have gotten a hold of the model used to produce the hockey stick graph and, after analyzing it, found that it produced a hockey stick graph no matter what numbers were plugged in. Recently, a piece of the Arctic ice shelf broke off, causing numerous reports (with fear-mongering) among global warming activists, but ice has the tensile strength of concrete - very little. The Arctic ice pack is 30% larger than last years and ice has been breaking off forever.

China recent experienced the coldest winter in 100 years. Arctic ice refuses to melt, even though it has been predicted by scientists. Alaska is on track for the Cookedt summer since 1930. And the sunspots won’t return, leading to a cooler planet.
