Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8What you don't understand is that the warm spell in the Arctic last winter was just a localised microclimate. That's how the the record cold in Ireland, Europe and most of the world last winter was explained away by Climate Change believers.
Linking weather events to assumed climate change in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary works both ways.
That would explain the unprecedented mobilisation of the military powers to stake their corporate claims to the seabed for expansion of their extraction of resources that presumably will have not the slightest effect on our degenerating ecosphere.
what a relief.
whats really funny about the melting ice in artic is that the same companies funding the GW deniers are taking full advantage of the changes most likely caused by GW to stake their claims on parts of the artic that were previously inaccessible to prospect for oil and mineral wealth. Really Ironic!!
A German climate researcher has discovered that the surge in solar radiation that began in 1700, peaked in 1960 and is still at historically high levels.
Isn't that an inconvenient truth for the bedwetters?
just had a squint at that site
Top left corner: 'The sun, not man, warms the earth'...thats handy.
Now that we can dispense with the ATHMOSPHERE I can change the sheets and sleep happily ever after in never-never land.
I do hope you and Barney are keeping dry.
The last time we had snow this early was on today’s date in 1964.
Muller mulls it over and changes his mind.
Ex-climate sceptic now backs global warming
A climate sceptic has said that it is now time to end the debate over whether global warming is real after the most definitive study into temperature data gathered by weather stations over the past half-century.
Professor Richard Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, who has been an outspoken critic of the science underpinning global warming, said that there is little doubt in his mind the phenomenon of rising land temperatures is real. Over the past two years, he has chaired a group of scientists who have carried out an exhaustive analysis of more than 1.6 billion temperature recordings collected from more than 39,000 weather stations at land sites around the world.
The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (Best) study was set up to test the findings of other studies and was part-funded by US billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.
"When we began our study, we felt that sceptics had raised legitimate issues, and we didn't know what we'd find. Our results turned out to be close to those published by prior groups. We think that means that those groups had truly been very careful in their work, despite their inability to convince some sceptics of that," Professor Muller said.
The Antarctic ice cap has 29 million cubic kilometres of ice. This is 90% of all the ice on the planet and between 60 and 70 % of all of the world's fresh water. Only about 0.4 percent of Antarctica is not covered by ice.
