Earnest,
I could feel th global cooling this past few weeks, but I was studying glaciers in Alaska.
Thanks for the heads up on these issues while I was gone. Alaskans know this is all cyclic. Don’t talk about global warming. It is not in the topic list.
I did mention that Gore was lying and a couple came to his side, Again. One person said he will go down in history as a Charlotton. I will have to look that one up. It sounded derogatory. I may use it next time.
We are in that short period of time between Ice Ages when there is global warming that allows us to civilized the world almost to the Arctic and Antarctica Circle. We have a favorable orbit, favorable axis and plenty of CO2 for plant growth.
That is changing. We have lost sunspot activity and it appears that we are losing Ozone production and water vapor due to that.
The glaciers are healthy up there at the Glacier Bay Latitude. They seem to have stabilized. We may see some actual growth in 5 years.
And, these are glaciers that make it to the water line.
Others, below this point they show recession each year and they should. The last 15 years were warm years, though in the temperatures have been in decline since 1999. It think the peak winter was 2000.
So, where are we at?
As glaciers grow, C02 and Methane numbers should stabilize and then drop as they are absorbed into the glacier ice.
Congress needs to hold hearings after the elections to review the EPA, NOAA and NASA actions over the last decades to see if they have been honest, non political and if they have been under IPCC influence.
Good to be back.

At least some folks in the down and under can see where they where being hoodwinked.
