Scientists Propose Plan To Re-Freeze the Arctic (inhabitat.com)

Kristine Lofgren writes: In case you've been under a rock for the past 20 years, the Arctic is melting super fast. Certain *ahem* governments are dragging their feet doing anything about it, which means the planet could be in for a spectacular meltdown within the next 20 years. But a clever bunch of scientists have hatched a plan to re-freeze the Arctic using wind-powered pumps that will bring water to the surface, allowing it to freeze. This new layer of ice could last well into the summer, which is vital, because scientists think summer Arctic ice could be gone by 2030 -- and that causes a whole chain of terrible events that will only make our climate change problem much, much worse. The plan has a $500 billion price tag, but that's pocket change compared to the cost of dealing with an ice-free Arctic. The study has been published in The American Geophysical Union's journal Earth's Future. You can read more about the study via The Guardian.

Shut up, AGW denier. Have you no shame for DENYING your CHILDREN glaciers, ice bergs, and ice caps? Hawaii will be covered in water as will most of the east cost of the USA as will most of Australia. Ever seen Water World with Kevin Kostener? It is not all that much of a stretch. They land on Mount Everest which is a tropical paradise.

Let me translate the several posts of bullshit you have given us:

CO2 targets arent important. Appearing to care is important.

..and thats the problem with the modern left. They only care about appearances.
