IPCC reports usually end up on the negative side in terms of scientific value.
Or at least that's my misinformed opinion from reading their planetary related chapters.

Well, maybe it's not global warming, but there has to be some scientific explanation for this...

Polar Ice. Last summer the ice at the North Pole was less than ever in recorded history. A quick check with the manager of climatic data at Cal-Tech reveals that in the case of ice, history dates back to 1972.

The earth is 6 billion years old, and we have data for the past 36 years. WOW!

I say ban the polution pimps and bring out the V8 big blocks.

exactly. That's like trying to predict the weather for the year by looking at data during 1 second.

Huh?

I have a dream. I have a dream that one day, collected masses of matter will not be classified by their weight or their size. They should be judged by their character and merit! I have a dream!

No really though the new definition is baloney[arbitrary]. Planet is just a round blob. Moons can be planets.

Quite.

One of the most-commonly predicted results of global climate change is that the Gulf Stream will either weaken, or break down entirely. This will result in Britain having a climate that's more in line with its latitude: at the moment, it's far milder in Britain in winter than in places like Minsk, Almaty or Toronto. So winters will go from about 40F down to more like 0F. Not only will this make Britain even more unpleasant than it already is; it'll do a lot of damage to what's left of Britain's farming.

"Climate change" and "global warming" don't mean everywhere will get a couple of degrees warmer; they mean that global average temperatures will rise slightly, winds and ocean currents will change, and the climate will, ummm, change. Everywhere. Some places will get colder. Some will get hotter. Some will turn into deserts. Others will be flooded. Some places might even get more fertile. And sea levels will rise.

But even though the Gulf Stream thing is the most likely effect of climate change on Britain, there are always British people trudging through the sleet in winter going "Ooh, and they say there's global warming? We could do with some of that now!". It's quite useful: it means you can judge instantly whether someone is a moron.

Did you even read the article? It has absolutely nothing to do with the Bush administration. What are you talking about?

All of the above!

Uh, look out your window -see snow? I do.

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, entire flight-looked down and the ground was snow covered. Don't need to be a scientist or president.

If someone came out and said that Earth was experiencing a "global warming" 20 years ago, everyone would laugh at their face. And now all of a sudden its a scientific fact?

For once I agree with you.

They won't. On the night Al Gore won his Oscar, there were record snowfalls all over the country.

It could be the Mickey Mouse Map of Disneyland it doesn't matter. It's Bush's fault.

Bush did it! He definitely did it!!

In Samoa, the people live mostly on the outskirts of the island which is basically on the waterfront. It's amazing to see how fast the water level is rising there. I was there in 1981, 1996, 2003 and then in 2007 and the changes are drastic. The main road goes all the way around the island right along the ocean in most parts and now the waves sometimes crash onto the road while you're driving. There are places where there used to be beautiful beaches and now are just a few feet of sand and then water.

I'm almost certain that the country will be wiped out within the next 50 years or so at the current rate.
