Middle of September and I’m still harvesting tomatoes.

I’ll keep some of this global warming...thank you. :)

Heh. I was actually referring to The Princess Bride.

I live in the Southeast, and it has been pretty hot and dry here this summer.

One of my more liberal oworkers blamed the local heatwave on GW. My response was "Gee it's hot in August. Who'dve thunk it?". My comment didn't go over well.

Of course, the High Pressure system that caused the heatwave, also caused most hurricanes to go south of us this year. Without that Bermuda High, we'd (likely) have had more moderate temps, but more hurricanes....and the hurricanes would have been caused by.....anyone? anyone?

Just remember....

Weather is hot = Global Warming

Weather is cold = Global Warming

Weather is stormy= Global Warming

Weather is mild, with no storms or problems whatsoever = Worry About Global Warming.

Another scientist says, “If you asked me a couple of years ago when the Arctic could lose all of its ice, then I would have said 2010, or 2008 maybe. But now I think that this evening is a reasonable estimate guess.”

There. I fixed it.
I notice this mental giant also chose to remain anonymous.

Since the Antarctic cap is getting thicker, I ain’t worried about the seas rising.

It was 39F this morning in Aurora, IL, about 35 miles west of Chicago.

Global warming my ass.

Since the Antarctic cap is getting thicker, I ain’t worried about the seas rising.

Then the bottom of the earth will be heavier and the top lighter.

It's...

Global Tilting

Oh yeah, it's all the USA's fault too!

Especially those who drive SUVs.

The article you posted is filled with misinformation and unproven statistics. Go to www.CO2science.org, read everything. Then get Chris Horner's book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming, read it cover to cover. Then find something real to worry about. Like how long it's been since the Cubs won the World Series. Or terrorists.

"At the current sea-level-equivalent ice-loss rate of 0.05 mm per year, it would take a full millenium to raise global sea level by just 5 cm, and it would take fully 20,000 years to raise it a single meter." pg 150.

We had summer in Texas? Sure could have fooled me. This was/is the year without a summer.

Once again, we ask the question: is anyone other than Cayman Net News paying attention to this scenario

I don’t want to alarm anybody but I’ve moved my money out of Cayman banks.

Definitions ~ an icesheet is different than an icecap in that it is larger. An icecap occurs when the amount of ice in a given area (on land) exceeds 85% coverage. If the average amount of open water exceeds 14% coverage, then the result is not referred to as "sea ice", and certainly not as an icecap, nor a polar icecap, nor an icesheet.

Obviously if the ice on a body of water is interspersed with 15% open water, that does not mean the ice has disappeared.

The definitions are easy to find and apply to the current condition in the Arctic ocean.

However, everything we have written on this topic has been met with a deafening silence as to any contingency plans in this respect.

Because you're full of Cayman crap.
