Big Arctic Perils Seen in Warming
gollum123 wrote in with news of a new study of warming in the Arctic, showing that warming from greenhouse gases is causing vast changes in the region. If your lifestyle depends on cold and frozen rather than mild and damp, you're in deep trouble.
hmm, let me guess... you have watched 'the day after tomorrow' one too many times?
--Let me guess: you are an American.
Let ME guess.. You're a Eurofag.
--Let me answer at least a couple of the questions you just brought up: 3) Scientists are scientists (unless owned by a politician like the ones working for Bush that say global warming is OK..) and they are people who stay true to facts.
Bah. Scientists are tools of whoever pays their salary. Or did you think that Greenpeace "scientist" Was telling the truth?
--If scientists are continuously telling you something bad's coming, it means they reviewed quite a few facts before reaching this conclusion.
Oh yeah, like those jack-off environmental thugs that said we'd die of ice-age in 2000 back in the 70's.
--And finally, the above being said, I'd listen to what they have to say. On a side note, you may want to look up the IPCC (www.ipcc.ch). Those guys are from all over the place and they have been working on global warming for a while now. They are saying the same thing.
Good for them.
--4) I'm sorry, this is just a stupid question. Global warming (or massive amounts of ice melting) doesn't just make the climate a bit warmer. It actually starts a chain reaction of events which take place in a land slide and end with a signifant portion of the earth's biosphere dead or extinct.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Can I have a play on that slippery slope once you're done with it? Perhaps you dont know how INVASIVE life is to "get rid of".
--Yes, this coming from the same guys that can tell you what your weather will be like tomorrow correctly 90% of the time.
And everybody knows the "news guys" are complete jokes. And what makes you or IPCC the "complete and all-knowing weather god"? If 1 day forcast using lorentz attractor gives 90% accuracy, whats a 50 YEAR give? Eh? EHH? I CANT HEARR YOU!!
Two days to the election, Kerry behind in the polls, of course the NYT is going to run this story. They need something to distract from the fact that OBL now sounds more reasonable than Al Gore.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine...

Typical republitard. Is completely unaware of the facts. Whoever modded this ignorant moron up please be aware that he is wrong. I don't know whether he is lying or completely ignorant of the facts but human beings contribute over a 100 times more CO2 into the atmosphere then volcanos do.

This is supposed to be a forum for geeks who are supposedly able to read and understand some of the scientific literature out there.
Why would you mod up a person who is flat out wrong?
As John Stewart said. There is a thing called the internet and it contains information. Start reading here. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/vol

...and the vice president (who's now President because of another helicopter crash)
:)
Bah! I would have really liked the movie if the Vice President Cheney^H^H^H^H^H^HBecker guy became President after the real president died choking on a pretzel.
Yea me too. Apparenty though the version of the bible that the president reads has all that.

I find you not to be so much mistaken,as gullible.
This is so much more about environmentalists getting their way about industry and internal combustion engines than it is about science.
More about tenure than research.More about pathetic arguments that've been going on for years while nothing substantial comes of it.
Have a beer and quit worrying about it.The stupid hippies will eventually give up and go away.
