DUUURRRRHHH! More lies from KKKorporations, Bu$h, Rethuglicants, and greedy kkkapitalists!
See, climate lawyers, journalists, Al Gore, Hollywood stars, Osama bin Laden, the Sierra Club, random sociology and liberal arts professors, the DNC and other respected scientific luminaries and communities have thus far awarded zero consensus points to these notions. And the IPCC’s lawyers, media consultants, and editors with degrees in Feminist literature have yet to revise the report line by line to render it solid, consensus, enlightenment-worthy science, so it can be safely disregarded.
(do I really need a tag?)
Yeah, I'm pissed but I still... like Polar Bear Poontane!
No, all it means is that the water will swirl down the toilet the other way...
This is AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH!
Not that I think it'll ever see the light of day in the Mainstream Propaganda Machine.
They will seize on this sentence:
“Many scientists viewed the changes as evidence of an ongoing climate shift, raising concerns about the effects of global warming on the Arctic.”
And this:
“Morison cautioned that while the recent decadal-scale changes in the circulation of the Arctic Ocean may not appear to be directly tied to global warming, most climate models predict the Arctic Oscillation will become even more strongly counterclockwise in the future. “The events of the 1990s may well be a preview of how the Arctic will respond over longer periods of time in a warming world,” he said.”
Calling Al Gore...Please return your Oscar, your Emmy, and any other awards you may have received as a result of your lying, manipulative, fear mongering movie.
Well...very interesting!
Hmmm Global Warming eh?
Wait until the warm waters of the Gulf Stream stop flowing northward. England and most of Northern Europe will fall prey to more arctic conditions, and another Ice Age..... global warming. WhatEVER. :)
They are hedging....can’t afford to lose their Research Grants....
Cool...can we give Al Gore a "swirly"?
shift haPPens..
When my bath water starts draining counter-clockwise then I’ll panic!
this is so good, I hope it’s not one of those phony postings there were a couple weeks ago.
This is the key phrase. To buy into the global warming hysteria cult, you have to believe in the global climate models (GCM). That's how you get all of the various observations, records, and micro studies to coalesce into a prediction of future climate. One big problem here, the GCM did not predict this Arctic current occilation. Why, you ask? Because we don't know diddly squat about ocean current occilations, and even less about Arctic ones.
Most of the ocean current data that we have was collected by Royal Navy and merchant seamen in the Age of Sail when this information was important. After steamships became the fashion, this data was no longer routinely collected. This means that much of the data supporting the alogorithms in the GCM is over 100 years old.
The GCMs have been around for about 30 years. In my early days I helped collect some of the datasets that were used to build them. They were crap back then and are no doubt crap today. This is why the GCM's have failed to predict any climate or weather event since they first started to crank out predictions 30 years ago.
This is the flimsy thread that the whole global warming mania depends upon.
Hey, I’m happy as I will request another 5 million to update my computer model.
