The Artic ice pack is not diminishing, in fact, it is gaining and all the global warming alarmists are severly disappointed! Yeesh!
Global Warming Alarmists Wrong Again

DaveScot

Contrary to last year's hysteric proclamations that arctic sea ice would completely vanish this summer it has instead increased to an extent not seen since 2004.

DaveScott has cleverly put in a couple of neat graphs from his link to prove it. But it appears to me that over all the link says something entirely different. Maybe he's relying on it not being opened.

Um, isnt it still summer?

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

DaveScot:


And I still say if things are all that dire we should start popping off nuclear weapons until we a get a little nuclear winter rolling. Global Warming + Nuclear Winter will result in Global Just Right.

This would cause no more in undesireable side effect than a barely detectable rise in cancer rates. Since the IPCC says the bad effects of global warming won't outweigh the good effects until 2050 we have time to plan ahead. I say we throw all the money heaped on global warming remediation onto cancer research instead. That way by 2050 we'll have cured cancer and there won't be any adverse side effects from detonating scores of nuclear weapons to halt global warming. And if I'm right that global warming turns out to not be a problem by 2050 we won't need to use the nukes but we still have a cure for cancer! That's what we in the business of knowing what the hell we're doing instead of running off half-cocked in a panic call a “win-win” situation.


And that is what we who defer to the experts in the field call insane.


Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Indeed! I don't know how much longer I'm going to bother hanging in there. They'll probably, not having a coherent argument, start to rough me up a bit but thus far, it's all pretty tame -- hand waving & implications that my religion is environmentalism. Oh, and it's been hinted that I'm a "Darwinist," whatever that might be.

I'll give 'em a while to come up with something good....
