Increasing CO2 emissions have caused Arctic temperatures to rise by five degrees Celsius over the past 100 years

It boils my blood when they repeat such statements as proven facts. Maybe increased solar activity caused the increase. Maybe inaccurate thermometers caused the increase. Maybe the stove in their research station caused the increase. Maybe their imaginations caused the increase.

By around 2050, scientists now predict a 60 percent loss of summer sea ice

What kinds of scientists? How many scientists? What of the political agenda of these scientists? I'm a scientist of sorts and I predict a 60 percent increase of summer sea ice. I need one other scientist to agree with me so I can issue the opposite statement of theirs. Any takers?

Sure. Personally, I predict widespread glaciers in the lower 48. Why not go all the way?

These 'scientists' use computer modeling to predict the weather. They can't accurately and reliably tell me what the temperature will be in my hometown tomorrow...but they use the same computer modeling to predict the temperature on a global scale 100 years from now? Come on.

Just because 'everybody' thinks a certain way, doesn't make it true. Everybody thought that the world was flat, at one point in time.

Don't get me going on Global Warming.

Increasing temperatures have caused increased CO2 concentrations.
