Hasn’t Mike Church been pushing this Ice Age crap?

I’m wondering if this is one of the scientists or groups that have been pushing the cooling theory while this whole warming thing has been going on?

Or is this just the obvious 180 turn?

“We could say that global warming could lead to a dramatic cooling,” Patterson told LiveScience”


That’s all I needed to see.

GO F%%! YOURSELF YOU PSEUDO SCIENTIST AND STOP TRYING TO IMPACT MY LIFE!!

Looking ahead to the future, there is no reason why such a freeze shouldn't happen again - and in ironic fashion it could be precipitated if ongoing changes in climate force the Greenland ice sheet to suddenly melt, scientists say.

The only thing that is going to make the Greenland ice sheet to “suddenly melt” is volcanic activity under it.

Anybody know how to turn off a volcano?

Time (or was it Newsweek?) deja vu!!!

The problem with all of this is that the very people who can’t look out a window and tell you what the weather will do in 2 hours, won’t hesitate to tell you what the weather will do in 50 or 100 years!!!

I’d like them to focus on the near-term and make their hurricane forecasting MUCH more accurate (or even their next day forecasting!) . . . . then, MAYBE, we’ll talk about weather patterns in 50 or 100 years.

>>Starting roughly 12,800 years ago, the Northern Hemisphere was gripped by a chill...

Makes sense. That’s right around the time that SUVs and bottled water were invented.

I'm in line with your sentiments, chris37. In fact, I think the politicization of science is much scarier than anything global warming can possibly do. When will a movement start that restores scientific integrity?
My science teachers taught us to "follow the evidence wherever it leads and accept the results whatever that may be". Today it seems to be "follow the money wherever it leads and change the results to whatever is needed."

This is another fairly lame attempt to create a false sense of urgency to combat global warming...which is supposed to cause the ice caps to melt, thus causing the warmer water to stop flowing so America and Europe will freeze blah blah blah. A good clue is when the keywords 'tipping point' is used - Al Gore likes that.

I like to check the sources, so I looked up Charles Q. Choi and the professor he quoted, Henry Mullins at Syracuse.

Charles Quixote Choi - here's a quote from him: Now I got into journalism for many and sundry reasons (one of them, unsurprisingly, involving a girl), but I've stayed for a very simple reason -- I discovered I could make a difference for the better through it."

Naturally, what he means is he got into journalism the distort the truth in order to further the goals of world socialism.

Here's a very telling quote from Henry Mullins: "I think it’s arrogant for us to think that we have a moral obligation to save life as we know it.My suggestion — it may not be realistic — is that we become a global society, and we recognize that we are heading toward exceeding our carrying capacity, and we humanely reduce our numbers.If things get out of control, there’s just too many people.

If our numbers are small enough, we become adaptable. My suggestion is for the United Nations to get the population scientists and the sociologists together and figure out ways to humanely reduce our numbers or level them off at the carrying capacity. ... I consider it all an open question. It’s something we need to start thinking about now — not 100 years from now."

Hmmmm.

I agree on it all except “Jaws”...

Now, perhaps when it saw it, it had an effect on me because only couple of years earlier as a dumb 12 year old I used to go swimming late at night in 30 foot deep waters when I lived in the Philippines...didn’t give it a second thought.

Not a thought, that is, until I saw “Jaws”. I could barely get myself into a swimming pool later that night after the movie, and the next night I was with a bunch of guys and we swam across a lake on a moonlit night to sink a friend’s little boat as a “joke”.

Dumb ass teenagers.

As we swim to the other side of the lake, the moon is shining down on the surface of the water, and I keep telling myself “Okay. It is a lake. There aren’t any sharks in here. Just a lake. A landlocked lake...” all the while thinking of the opening scene of the movie.

Then, my buddy begins thrashing around and yells out “Hey! Something bit me!”

Some stupid little lake fish probably nibbled on his damn toe. I nearly killed him.

That is exactly the case. Very well stated.
