In the long term the earth will be just fine I am sure. It is humans in our time who must start doing something. :):) |

What we have here is "Faith-Based" Science. The disturbing thing is that it is being practiced by alleged scientists. |

The Doomsday Clock’s minute hand has been moved two minutes closer to midnight as experts warn we are closer than ever to a global catastrophe. In a live international news conference, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) said that the threat of climate change and nuclear war posed a very serious threat to modern society. Their symbolic clock is now set at three minutes to midnight, but while they say it is not too late to avert disaster ‘the window for action is closing rapidly’. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2921899/Doomsday-Clock-reads-11-57-Atomic-scientists-minute-hand-two-minutes-forward-say-closest-point-disaster-decades.html rOZZ Music Pictures |

Now i have Iron Maiden playing in my head. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

For a good laugh go read Paul Erlich's "Population Bomb" and also the CIA report on oil done about 33 years ago. |

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/02/12/study-global-warming-skeptics-know-more-about-climate-science/ LOL North Pole icecap is nothing compared to Antartic and Greenland icecaps. The icecap is about 2 km thick. Put that in the oceans and the sea levels WILL rise. Antarctica (South Pole) ice volyme is about 25 million cubic kilometers. The rise in sea levels that would be caused if all this ice melted and "lay" at sea may be presented by dividing the ice volume with world ocean's surface area (about 360 million square kilometers). It provides nearly 70 meters. Taking into account that the ice leaves behind a "hole" that is filled with water, and that the bedrock beneath the ice is affected, the answer is almost 60 meters. The corresponding estimates for the Greenland ice sheets gives 7 meters. The ice in all the other glaciers around the earth is equivalent to just under 0.5 meters of sea level. Talking about water or lack of it. https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fnyheter%2Fvarlden%2Fusa-hotas-av-varsta-torkan-pa-1000-ar%2F&edit-text= |

LOL That's alright then, i live 95 metres above sea level, panic over. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Even smaller sea level rising has bad consequences. Here is what disappear in the US with different level rises. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/24/opinion/sunday/what-could-disappear.html?_r=0 Only 5 feet, that scientists are predicting to happen in about 100 to 300 years, is enough to flood New Orleans and Miami Beach. I think London and many more cities by the sea is also at big risk. Most of the threatened people are concentrated in three regions in Asia: east, southeast and south Asia. Given 0.5–2 m rise in sea level, a total of 53–125 million people are estimated to be displaced over the century from these three regions alone At least 600 million people live on less height than 10 meters above sea level today. Where will all go? The last time carbon dioxide levels were as high as today, the sea level was between 9-31 meters higher than today. But it takes a long time before the ice has responded to the changing temperature. |

The corresponding estimates for the Greenland ice sheets gives 7 meters. The ice in all the other glaciers around the earth is equivalent to just under 0.5 meters of sea level. How much melted a 1,000 years ago. The highest estimate of the Viking population was about 6,000 people, so they wouldn't have needed much land to be free from ice to survive. So a receding of maybe 0.5% would have been more than enough. |

If you don't know how much melted 1000 years ago then how much hubris do you have using ice cores to claim there is global warming?! |

How much Warming is needed to graze cattle in Greenland? +1.5 C was enough. Vinland was the name given to Newfoundland coastal North America as far as it was explored by the Vikings, presumably including both Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as far as northeastern New Brunswick. The Vikings found grapes there, and therefore they called the area for Vinland that can be translated to Wine Land. I dont think you will find any grapes there now. Maybe in somes decades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period The Medieval Warm Period around 1000 AD was not global. The Earth may have been slightly cooler (by 0.03 degrees Celsius) The Medieval Warm Period has known causes which explain both the scale of the warmth and the pattern. It has now become clear to scientists that the Medieval Warm Period occurred during a time which had higher than average solar radiation and less volcanic activity (both resulting in warming). New evidence is also suggesting that changes in ocean circulation patterns played a very important role in bringing warmer seawater into the North Atlantic. This explains much of the extraordinary warmth in that region. These causes of warming contrast significantly with today's warming, which we know cannot be caused by the same mechanisms. |

These causes of warming contrast significantly with today's warming, What warming ? Record cold and snowfall in the Northeastern part of the United States. Oh, That's weather and not climate. Maybe it's climate change--now if only we could figure out which way it is changing and the fact that we can't do anything about it to change the direction. |
