or we could look at the Antarctic Peninsula, and wail about its ice loss, but it's only 0.5% of the land mass down there, while on the other 99.5% the ice mass has been increasing over the last 50 years. But what have all the sound bites by the Global Warming scientists been about, but "oh my gawd the poles are melting". So here you go cherry pick some tiny slice of the earth's mass that is having a "climate change", while the rest has been cooling down because solar activity is down.
right on, gizmo5 works fine with *every* soft phone client package I've tried under Ubuntu, Debian and Centos and also works great with Asterisk. It should be windows and Mac users complaining their OS doesn't support it out of the box!
Politics. The world leaders have poured billions of dollars (and yen and Euros) into climate modelling. They can't not follow the results of the advisers they have chosen and the politically correct fashion of the times.
Big science is heavily weighted with politics, that's always been true.
It's time to start listening to real geophysicists and not "climatologists", whatever the hell those are. I didn't see degree in that field offered when I began my physics degree. The truth is that while the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed, it's 0.5% of the land mass there while the other 99.5% of Antarctica has been *cooling* since the 1960s. That's real science, folks. http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2008/2007JD009094.shtml
"The sea levels are rising!". The sea levels have been rising for over 10,000 years, and for most of that at a rate of over a meter per 200 years, thankfully it's slowed down the past 2,000 years!
"Carbon dioxide levels are at record high, it's a dangerous greenhouse gas!". The dominant greenhouse gas on planet earth is water vapor, its effect far outweigh the effects of all other greenhouse gases combined! Carbon dioxide is reactive, it increases after the earth warms. horse. cart. Warm some soda pop the the stove and see what happens. Carbon dioxide levels about the pan increase!
Note how the world leaders are rushing to get climate protocols in place before the real truth gets out, that the earth is cooling in response to Sun output at record low in last three years compared to last 50+ years. Solar output at record high in late 90s. Sun driving climate, what a shocker.
no need to regulate, populations always, always are self-regulating. impossible to outgrow resource supply.
And we more prosperous nations get to choose who gets regulated more. Remember the golden rule, no not Jesus' wimpy one, the "He Who Has the Gold Makes the Rules" one.
I'm thinking about writing a sequel involving a homosexual man with an afro from outer space who takes up Zorro's identity in the 31st century, but can't quite think of a good title.....
as an engineer, I happen to know thermometers accurate even to within a degree are a very recent invention,and even today the correction scales provided with say a $700 laboratory grade mercury thermometer go more than half a degree plus and minus from 0 to 100 degrees C.
What consideration have you give to temperature records derived from ice-core samples and dendochronology? Those would be the records that show the average temperature of the earth has been much higher and lower than today, more than 2 degrees C even within the past thousand years. The time when Greenland was green instead of Iceland II. There's some evidence for you that maybe we are becoming hysterical over what might be termed "weather" rather than "climate".
I have a hard time accepting data from 80 years ago from lip blown hand shaped thermometers as equivalent to today's, and with one qualified measuring station per state to today. There is no basis whatsoever for claiming a temperature rise of 1 degree over a time span of a century. And the probable error increases to many degrees from alternative natural indicators of temperature. cooked books.
that's nice, but the words are Japanese and defined by how the Japanese use them, and people in the U.S. who actually enjoy Japanese seafood on rice know the difference too.
actually, the stall would be BEFORE big ice melts as heat capacity of ice is much higher, to say nothing of the huge amount of energy it takes to make the phase change to liquid water. so the stall should have been much earlier, not now!
we can't kill the world 40 tmies over with fire, that is hysterical hollywood fantasy from the 60s. A megaton nuke will make a crater 400 yards wide and about a quarter of that deep, 4 miles away people will have to worry about 60 mph winds, flying glass and small tree limbs. the 2,000 warheads in active service would kill about a quarter of billion people if dumped on large cities, but most of the earth would live on. and nuclear winter is a 70s myth. truth is a big tsumami or hurricane packs far more energy than the combined nuclear arsenal of mankind.
Technology is for empowering the individual, subservience to a hive mind is the lie of the enslaver. The greatest evils of the 20th century were spawned from a herd mentality.
send those disturbed people instructions to cut along the veins with their straight razor, not across, for faster bleed out. great opportunity to put long overdue shot of bleach in the gene pool.
I once asked my russian friend what the slang "pizdets" means, though it literally is vagina it is used like "fucked". He said it was something beyond hopeless, "thing burn to ground, someone drops atom bomb on embers, pigs come and zey shit in zee crater"

I did notice that major sites like cnn.com and abcnews.com had nothing on the "climategate" earlier today, while foxnews search had 9,509 entries

The Earth isn't following the climate models, it missed the memo. Truth is we're at 1930s level of average global temperatures with the recent fall.

would that be definition of "salted meats" isn't in Urban Dictionary yet?
you mean nobody can tell Zorro is now Ramon, the gay brother of Diego who now calls himself Bunny Wigglesworth.

the biggest rate of ice loss was years ago though

that is flawed at the core, anyone who works with trees knows rings only correlate with rainfall, period.
