Global Warming

[Locutus]

I'm surprised that neither of you has seized on this.

Hint: I'm baiting you.

I saw that last week and wondered how long it would be before it showed up here.  I just didn't think it would be you posting it.

We already have...over and over and over again.  It is your choice to remain willfully ignorant.

I have gone back and skimmed through this thread.  YOU, ex, had like ONE link and that was from the IPCC. 

I am just skeptical, because of the likes of the IPCC and idiots like Gore, who have in fact, fabricated stories, to inflated their theories.

For the billionth time, I am NOT against making this planet cleaner, IF we don't try to over TAX and over regulate our way to accomplish this.

We need a fair and balanced method of accomplishing this....and enough of the "we only have 10 years to save the planet" Bullsh.....Or the polar bears are dying off. 

Those are lies, made up, to scare people into blindly following along.

Do you honestly think I would post something from CNSNews and not expect blood vessels bursting from the foreheads from you guys?

Those are observable facts.  Lies made up to scare people into blindly following along would be things like hell and god and geebuz.

Maybe it's time for Bo D's crayons again.

Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world.

Do you ever to think of researching anything you post to avoid making yourself look stupid?  That's a rhetorical question, by the way.

[Henry Hawk]

I just posted it.  I read the entire article.  I just found it interesting.....it isn't shrinking, despite all of the theories.


Satellite instruments measuring the precise extent of the Southern Hemisphere polar ice cap report the polar ice cap has been steadily growing for decades. Moreover, the combined extent of the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere polar ice caps have been above the long-term average almost uniformly since 2012.

This one would be more appropriate to Locutus' post....

I read the entire article.

Did you bother to read any of the multitude of articles that explain it?  Again, a rhetorical question.

Did you? (Not a rhetorical question)  Fact is, measurements from 2013 show that the Arctic ice is thicker this year compared to last year.  They have all sorts of "idea's", but it is thicker than the previous year.

Dream on HH. But in the meantime sell that ocean front property.    And ask gardeners and/or horticulturists if they've noticed any changes in climate over the past few decades. 

[Henry Hawk]

Why are telling me to dream on?  All I stated was that the Arctic ice is thicker than it was last year.  Lets be sure this is just not a weather pattern before we start demanding to ruin economies.  (Okay, I may be exaggerating, but we have two extremists fighting back and forth.....)

I can tell you straight up, no argument........there IS climate change going on.  Not going to argue that.  I am just not 100% convinced it is JUST because of man using too much carbon or whatever the claim is.  Or if it is something we can actually reverse without ruining our economic system.  I for one, STILL want to live a productive life.

Yes, I've researched it at length.  The ice is not thicker; it is covering more space and you are confusing sea ice with land ice.  I understand that simple minds have difficulty grasping complex concepts and whatnot...

I am not confusing anything.  The arctic SEA ICE is now 50% thicker than the Fall of 2013.  It was 50 thicker in the fall of 2013 than it was in the fall of 2012.  Meanwhile, the Antarctic sea ice continues to expand.

Nothing is said is false. Lets see how it is next fall.  As of now, the trend is leaning back in favor of the ice growing.
