Study: Arctic Sea Ice Melting Faster Than Expected »
Posted By TimALoftis 7 months, 1 week ago in Science & Technology
Arctic sea ice is melting so fast most of it could be gone in 30 years. A new analysis of changing conditions in the region, using complex computer models of weather and climate, says conditions that had been forecast by the end of the century could occur much sooner.

I guess all you Lie-berals is gointa point da finger at America.
See, what you Lie-berals dont git is Golbal Warmin is just God holdin us just a bit tighter on accounta he is tryin to love us more to keep da gays from marryin - and da Lie-berals from teachin skience to our skool kids.
I says - let us church goin God Fearin folk teach the natural skiences.
Course, we dont believe skience IS natural - ... - on accounta - since the Earth is only 6,000 years old ... skience aint had no time to develop yet.
Thats why you gotta believe in our Christian Evangelical ways!
And if you dont ... we might just haveta try to convince you through OTHER ways ... like how George W. Bush used WATER BOARDIN to convince Muslims to switch to Christianity.
..
Amen.

No problem, Goppy. For all 8 years of the Bush administration, George told us that this whole global warming thing was based on bad science and that it was not happening. His Con sycophants assured us that it was all a hoax perpetrated by Al Gore to make money selling carbon credits.

Perhaps, if the earth's climate is changing (faster) as a result of human culture (affecting the rate of change) then isn't it possible that what it is changing into is a better environment for us?

after all we, as a species, come from Africa. We prefer warm to cold. All our food prefers warm to cold. How does this make us worse off?
Sure we may lose some coastal regions, but we'll rebuild.. its not like there's going to be a global tsunami one morning.. the water will creep up over time... giving us time to relocate.
Sure some species will die off, but that is evolution.. survival of the fittest. So if they can't adapt, se la vie.. literally. Other species will prosper from the change.
What we need to do is recognize that this unavoidable change is coming, and start adapting to it now, rather than trying to prevent the inevitable. Hold back the ocean, as it were. -

One of the saddest failures of the G20,was the deafening silence,concerning climate.I kept listening for Obama to talk about "green-jobs"as a part of the rejuvenation the "global economy",it just wasn't there.

The sadness of "those in denial",about mans role in climate change,isn't just the refusal to accept conventional science.It's the "I'm OK,why should I care about anyone else" attitude.The most climate damage IS caused by the nations,whose inhabitants have the largest egos.That includes the USA and my nation the UK and the rest of the western World.Well this crises,is the first genuinely Global crises.Climate,economy,terrorism,wars,poverty,drug... is the World our children and their children will inherit.Altruism is the solution,but I'm not expecting that to break out overnight.A little step towards it,in the form of "enlightened self interest"would be a start. -

My class of students, who are working on their climate science fair projects, is following this news story. However, what is interesting is the renewed panic over melting glaciers in the Arctic. This is strange since we have found accounts from the Vikings that described pretty much the same thing, polar ice melting.
