    No more Snowballs

    http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009...e-free-arctic/

    Navy prepares for ice free North pole.
    The Antarctic is simply playing catch-up as weather conditions are Naturally more severe down south.

    Here is the US Navy Arctic Roadmap :

    Great reply. Did he fabricate the facts about the Arctic as well.

    And your following of this man is as sensless as your ignoring facts that do not agree with the scenario you like or your fallacious statements of fact. "The Antarctic is simply playing catch-up as the weather conditions are Naturally more severe down south."

    Just keep picking and choosing. It does more to hurt your argument that anything else.

    Re: No more Snowballs

    I've answered your query in an earlier post 21Cav. Again the Antarctic is greater in size
    than the Arctic therefore will take longer to melt.
    From Wiki,
    "Antarctica is colder than the Arctic for two reasons. First, much of the continent is more than 3 kilometres (2 mi) above sea level, and temperature decreases with elevation. Second, the Arctic Ocean covers the north polar zone: the ocean's relative warmth is transferred through the icepack and prevents temperatures in the Arctic regions from reaching the extremes typical of the land surface of Antarctica"

    Your answer does not do service to my query. It is not scientifically valid. Regardless if it is colder and would take longer to melt, it should not be increasing in ice. Look carefully at what you are saying. If MMGW theory is correct the addition of ice at this rate would be impossible. Bigger?? All that means it should take longer to melt. It should decreasing in size right now. Colder?? It has been colder for thousands of years and the Ice did not increase in size. why would it now?? You are taking factual data and drawing unscientific conclusions from it. The Anataric is colder than the Artic therefore that somehow explains why the Ice at the Antarctic is increasing. Does not make logical sense, period.

    Gee….Taking what some people think is happening does not match up with History….In 1906 a wooden hull ship went from the Pacific to the Atlantic through the Northwest Passage. I went through it in 1959. Miles and miles of nothing. If the Navy goes there what does that Prove….Sure is not proving Global Warming….Art

    The Navy is not taking a once a year romp when weather permits. It refers to the arctic circle being ice free the year round.
    Read the article and the US Navy Arctic Road Map.
    The experts in the US Navy recognise global warming is happening.

    Now from the University of Texas confirmation of the Antarctic breaking up and melting .

    Think we should tell the people who live and work in the Arctic Circle that they are under water?

    All Types Of Treasure Hunting

    Re: No more Snowballs

    Thanks to the Russian TREASURE HUNTERS why treasure hunters? Because the just saved the planet from global monetary collapse! They dug up the Gold (evidence in the emails) on the liars! (Radical Greenies and liberals who followed them).
    And so another lie perpetrated by the greenie liberals dies after costing tax payers billions of dollars! All of us want to see good behavior on everyone’s part not to destroy our natural wonders. But look what was done:

    1. The money spent on this lie (Billions) could have been spent on significant research that may have helped to cure cancer or other REAL life saving causes.
    2. The Panic approach has prematurely launched alternatives that were not ready...look at all the birds killed by wind generators.
    3. And worse….. Now people will be skeptical about REAL alternative energy sources! They will never buy into the very real solutions that will be presented. You people (Radical Greenies) have (as usual) shot your freaking foot off! Now real researchers will see grant money dry up because of your lies and extensive deceptions.
    I firmly believe this was done under the auspices of Mr. Destruction himself…yes, Soros! He has made his billions by creating just this kind of chaos…look it up! He truly has a career of this on a smaller scale, now I imagine if you had the power to look into it you would find he has bought into companies (for pennies on a dollar) that will come out of this economic chaos and grow to make him Billions more…hmmmm same guy who helped finance The Abomination’s campaign?
    I think you guys just pulled of the first World Wide Terrorist ACT! You caused major breakdowns in economies and staggering losses in stock markets! Billions were lost because of this and the panic that kept us from drilling out west and off shore! We saw a world panic! I think this is treason and acts against humanity. It was a hate crime of the largest magnitude! I say hang those that perpetrated it!
    Oh, PIGLET…..the scientific method most of us use has no room for liars…we can make false assumptions, make mistakes and such but to purposefully lie and then deceive and then, dismiss real work from JOURNAL ARTICLES!!! Do you read this!! Where is the scientific method in that…..you are pitiful! Probably a Soros employee hired to go to conservative blogs to serve out disinformation.
    Yea, though I walk through the Valley of Death I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

    Re: No more Snowballs

    Piggy, again, these opinions are in the minority. In America you'll find grumpy, unhappy and grizzled old men like we see here almost everywhere, in the supermarket, the VFW hall, on the street. When I was a boy in Virginia, we had a governor named Douglas Wilder, who was black, and the grumps used to sit outside of T+W Service station in Monroe, drink Early Times whisky and go on about him, how awful it was he was the governor, his grandparents were slaves (not that how bad it was his grandparents were slaves, but how uppity that a grandson of them could rise to become governor of the state, and therefore them!), Virginia was going to suffer, etc. They also were still PO'd at the GERMANS!!! Well, it didn't, in fact did really well. Pity them, you won't change them....

    The "climate gate data" furor is a result of climate scientists asking legitimate questions, posing alternatives, raising objections etc,
    as a natural quest for the truth.
    This quest for the truth is something which is anathema to the religion/money based warming
    sceptics.
    We have all heard the expression "it is gospel" ,well science doesn't work like that.

    Why is it difficult for the sceptics :
    It's the woeful performance in Math and Science that the US has sunk to.

    I am sure Chech you are a racist as well as a bigot. "Wiskey Tango" again.

    Does anyone ever ask themselves why we rank so low?
    I would love to hear the PC answers.
    Piggy, you have not heard about all of the e-mails where the main subject is erasing data so that sceptics would not be able to refute the conclusions the MMGW crew reached? What a excellent scientific method. What about totally ignoring the full blown evidence of the moon of Saturn and the planet Mars showing signs of warming in the late 90's, coincidentally at the same time as the Earth? What about the FACT that e-mails exist showing that data was changed all the way back to 1961 to indicate cooler temps so that the rise would be more dramatic in the 90's. Ignore, Ignore, Ignore. Great scientific method. Whats next, are you going to post Ted Turner rambling on that the Earth is flat? Possibly you might get with Chech and post about Grey Cloud being a "Casino Indian" or me being a "Hillbilly", or a "Redneck". Yes, I know y'all are the most upstanding, non racist, non bigoted fellows in the world, until it suits your purposes.

    Re: No more Snowballs

    I got a question for Graycloud, who lives just a bit to the south of me, in Louisiana . . . a state noted for it's summer heat and humidity.

    What was all that white stuff falling down your way last week. If we aren't going to have snowballs (as piggy says), what the hell was it?

    Piggy, we have had cooler summers for the past 9 years. The worst summer in these parts was 2000 and it has steadily moderated since then. Here in SOUTH Arkansas (where the weather would be warmer --- northern hemisphere's coldest temps are up north), we haven't had a really hot (over 100 degrees) week in at least 4 years. It used to be EVERY YEAR, for at least two weeks in August (usually the entire month of August and most of July unless we had some rain) you could expect temps to be 105+ every day. Heat indices approaching 115 lots of times.

    Perhaps this is the result of industrialization. We have more industry than the Aussies, we have much more industry that the Africans, and yet you guys seem to be the ones complaining about record temps. Maybe you need to burn more fossil fuels.

    Had to laugh at that report on NBC last nite talking about "Environmental Refugees". They showed a young woman who was telling them how she has been unable to get any water at all due to the drought in Africa. The reporter asked her how long it had been since she had had a drink of water. She said two days. The problem is . . . and maybe this should go in comedy central (no, wait, this comes after Comedy Central and Funny Signs so the mods must understand Global Warming isn't real, so I should be okay) . . . she was standing a short way from dozens of barrels of water which were being filled as she spoke. Add to that, she was having no difficulty speaking, her lips were not parched, and she was standing in a very dusty place but was spotlessly clean and her clothes looked like they had just come off the rack. BULLCRAP!!!

    It's a political attempt to enslave the populace. It is pseudoscience or worse --- Science for hire.

    Global warming is a farce, a scam, a LIE.
