"Captured on film by Canadian environmentalists, the pair of polar bears look stranded on chunks of broken ice."

What a bunch of BS. Popar bears ALWAYS ride around on ice flows. It's how they hunt seal. I spent a lot of years working up north, and have observed how these bears hunt.

Ice flows have always varied from year to year. It's -44 today. It was -44 yesterday. It's going to stay that way all next week as well. That's 10 degrees BELOW normal. That's not global warming. This whole year has been colder than normal.

Every study has shown that the 20th century wended with a net GAIN in both area of arctic ice, and net GAIN in glacier area in Greenland. Studies

A pic of a bear riding on ice flows says NOTHING, except that most people haven't a clue about how these bears act in their enviroment, and are completely gullable towards the BS they are being sold by these eviro-nut activists.

Just because it's warmer than normal in California, doesn't mean it's warmer everywhere else.

Do you mean a net gain in arctic ice from 1900 to 2000, and a net gain in Greenland ice for the same period?

Those bears are well fed and not stranded.

In the CO2 verses temperature graph sometimes the increase in temperature precedes the increase in CO2 and sometimes it is after. This DOES NOT demonstrate cause and effect. As the earth becomes warmer it is more conducive for an environment that will contain more CO2 in the atmosphere. In a cold environment much more CO2 is sequestered in sea water and fauna is greatly lessened. The normal degradation of dead animals and plants is much much less and thus less CO2 is released into the atmosphere.

It is much more likely that the rising CO2 levels are mostly a result of a very moderate rise in global temperature, that is in line with past solar maximums. We are still a couple of degrees cooler than when the Vikings settled Greenland during a past solar max. The colony perished when that solar max went back to normal levels as the present one we are now in will.

If you want to know what causes global warming you can see it every day. It rises in the East and sets in the West. It is a star.It energy output is very stable within a narrow range of variability. These small changes in energy output correlate with our solar max and solar min and temperature changes on the earth and our ice ages.

The enviro-nuts will not address the issue of variations in solar output. They know the truth and ignore it for their own political agenda.

Warmer than normal in California? What about the orange crop freeze?
