  • Next up we have the 2012 end of the world...

  • BUT IT AINT

  • 2011 still kicking it!

  • his just shows that even the people that think they are the smartest in the world have no clue what mother nature will do they just keep saying things to keep their jobs at forcasting. wouldn't we all like to keep our jobs ad be wrong all the time

  • this video was posted IN 2008!

  • @EnvyMy75 lol i just realized that

  • oh god were all doomed the ice is gonna melt backwards in time

  • 2011 and still here and it will soon 2012 and ill still be here

  • It's 2011 now and there's still ice in the north pole : /

  • I guess the tree hugging eco-idiots were wrong again!!!

  • @1965ace so is the arctic not losing more and more ice every year?

  • @uknowispeaksense I don't know if you have looked at the calendar but is is 2011 and there is still ice on the north pole. The truth is it varies and at this point the south pole has had huge gains in ice mass in the recent past. I'm just mocking the MMGW dummies. Recent headlines decry record cold temps around the world.

  • @1965ace you didn't answer my question. Is the arctic not losing more and more ice each year?

  • @uknowispeaksense There is record increases in ice in the arctic, but that doesn't mean we are heading for an ice age either. It's up it's down it's not mankind driven. Got to Cassiopeia project for a non political scientific view on MMGW.

  • @1965ace and your source for this information? I'll give the Cassiopeia project a miss and stick to peer reviewed sources. So, do you have some numbers for me? You know, like ice area and volume?

  • @uknowispeaksense The IPCC is a fraudulent body of doomsayers dependent on research money. If you google arctic ice trends you can find plenty of information to show recent growing ice fields. The point is their predictions were completely wrong and that should cause them a huge lack of credibility, but there are the "true believers" who in spite of the evidence continue to beat a dead horse.

  • @1965ace Ok, so you don't have any actual data for me. The problem is, I don't use google to source information. It tends to throw up a lot of blogsites which are useless whenit comes to accurate information. How about you provide me with a link to where you got your information from?

  • @uknowispeaksense I can't post links here and if you only drink your favorite Koolaid from one source then you will never get objective information. I guess you haven't been keeping up ,they call it "climate change" now because it is undeniably not getting warmer. The Al Gore fools should be held accountable for all the millions of dollars they duped out of naive uneducated people.

  • @1965ace actually you can post links. its a simple case of throwing a couple of spaces in to the address. I'm more than happy to cut and paste and remove a few spaces, so how about those references? For the record, I get my 'Koolaid' from more than a dozen independent peer reviewed journals.

  • @uknowispeaksense h ttp: //wat tsupwiththat.c om/2010/05/29/arctic-ice-volum­e-has-increased-25-since-may-2­008/ . This is how frustrating you people no matter how wrong you are you always go back to your flawed data and conclusions. The real question is were the predictions right ? The answer is absolutely not !

  • @1965ace you see now that didn't hurt did it? Now, you do realise that the website you have provided is a blogsite founded by Anthony Watts. This guy is supposedly a meteorologist however he has no qualifications and no accreditation with the American Meteorological Society. He has spoken at seminars organised by the Heartland Institute an oil-funded thinktank run by three men from a shed in a paddock in the backblocks of Oregon. Despite all of this, I went to your link and examined it very...

  • @uknowispeaksense Once again let me point out the sky is not falling and that was the first of many links that point this out. The US is drowning in 14 Trillion dollars of debt and yet we are still wasting money on phony research dependent on research money, can you say conflict of interest? 14 T is about $450,000.00 per household and growing every day. At the present rate the "evil" rich are all leaving and our country is hell bent on becoming a 3rd world country. Idiocracy

  • @1965ace I see. First did you watch the link? Second, what about theclimate scientists in Australia, Great Brittain, Russia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Germany etc etc etc etc who aren't dependent on research money? I do agree with your final comment that the US is on track to becoming an idiocracy but it hasn't got anything to do with climate policy. Perhaps if your country spent a bit less on war mongering you're debt mightn't be so high.

  • @uknowispeaksense I did not see your link but I know its not warming because they changed the name to "climate change" which is bs. There are record cold temps around the world this last winter. The idocracy dummies elected President Camacho, who is killing the economic engine with regulations / taxes that send business out of this country. I object to all the welfare and social programs that are creating lazy parasites. I agree, if we fought war to win we would save a lot of money.

  • @uknowispeaksense I see your into the greenie movement. The ultimate solar energy is oil, natural gas and coal. If your looking for a real solution for real energy for the future I suggest you look at thorium fluoride reactors.

  • @1965ace watch?v=-wbzK4v7GsM, watch?v=mqMunulJU7w, watch?v=yDTUuckNHgc&feature=re­lated.

    These three videos will set you straight in terms of some of thesimplistic arguments youjust made about winter temperatures and the "climate change-global warming" nonsense.. i've also included the other link you claim to have not seen.

  • @uknowispeaksense You got to be kidding me, three propaganda videos from the same source calling any one who disagrees "deniers" , well count me in. Those fools never talk about the influence of the solar cycles, the true source of global warming / cooling. Real scientists are more concerned with solar flares on our electronic society than MMGW. If our Sun burps in the wrong direction we can kiss our electronics good by and yet there is plenty of propaganda denying the sun has any effect.

  • @1965ace Actually they do talk about Milankovitch cycles. watch?v=hWJeqgG3Tl8

    As for the sun burping, the charged particles would have an effect on electronics, but those same particles are not radiation. I would agree that there is propaganda denying the sun has any effect but its not coming from the published science. In fact, nearly every paper I have read acknowledges the fact that the Sun does control climate however, they all also point out that it is not responsible for current changes..

  • @1965ace cont.... I would say however that the 'debate' is choking under the weight of denial propaganda exaggerating the effect of the sun in observed warming today.

  • @uknowispeaksense To say that man made co2 which is a tiny percentage of co2 which is a tiny percentage of the atmosphere is responsible for climate is a huge exaggeration. Much larger forces are in play for example watch?v=F-lrgidVZLw .

  • @1965ace omg. okay. I watched the video. Dodgy charts, unpublished nonsense. I have a question for you. How does the cosmic dust not burn up when entering our atmosphere to form the nuclei of clouds? I reckon that might be a monumental oversight in his theory. Well, this is going nowhere. I'd keep providing science and you'd keep providing pseudoscience in a neverending waste of each other's time. Have a good life.

  • @uknowispeaksense Clouds have to form on particulate matter and I agree there are other questions but you guys want to say you have the one and only answer which has proven to be one very small exclusive theory. Your science is a one track train that neither explains the observations or is willing to include other explanations and that is not science . The world has far too many more important problems to be concerned with than to waste time on flat earth theories. Good Luck.

  • @uknowispeaksense ht tp  ://redwhitebluenews.co m/?p=7670

  • the hole in the center is the entrance to the inner earth. Ever wonder why its always blocked out?

  • Anyone else here feel like a frog in pot of water? Turn up the burner, let's see what happens. This isn't exactly up to date now is it?

  • What about that hole in the center?

  • remember when all the ice was gone 3 years ago? That sucked.

  • welcome on 2011 man!

  • Cool video..Would like to see a longer time span....On GW, just follow the money and see who benifits from all of the new taxes in the name of saving the planet....It is all about money...These people do not care, just as long as they get their pockets padded with cash...You tree huggers will be disapointed when the truth comes out, that it was all an lie to get you guys to play into their hands..Oh yes, all of the sheeple, do as I say and not as I do..

  • i dont get it...

  • Thank god we've been warned in time.

  • who wants to kill themselves to help prevent global warming

  • @lowaces

    lol i wanna make a difference

  • This video does not depict the North Pole. What does this white stain mean?

  • @muthich That's the spot that the satellites can't photograph due to their orbits.

  • Comment removed

  • uh... Maybe next year dude.

  • It said "could be", not "would be". :P

    Instead of whining that this video had false info (especially those who think "Global Warming is fake"), just be glad that this didn't happen...yet.

  • @daangelo29 umm this "Global Warming" thing you say is truly fake, the global warming is one of the biggest lies in history , im not saying it will never happen, it may happen in a million years I dont know that, I know that for the next 1000 years we will be ok

  • @MrDar3k Then why are glaciers disappearing?

  • @hempartist420 because they told you they disappear it doesnt mean they actually do

  • @MrDar3k lol

  • @MrDar3k If we keep expanding a the rate we are going, by the year 2600 mankind will release enough heat to make the earth glow red hot! Obviously we would die long before then or at the very least decline.

  • nope

  • And....it wasn't!

  • yikes. i'm concerned about 2008

  • its 2010 ald

  • damn you manbearpig

  • 2010 an still kikin it!

  • ice is getting thicker and so is IPCC bs.

  • Did Al Gore scare you with this lie? lol

  • its 2010 and their still their!!!

  • Comment removed

  • You guys don't under stand that global warming is also responsible for any anomally in weather. Anything that is strange, doesn't fit predections, global cooling, rained when you wanted sun, etc... is Global Warming. Global warming is responsible for everything that we don't like: cat barfing = Global Warming. Al Gore said it in his informercial the inconvienent Truth. He called it Global Weirding. Invest now in Al Gore's carbon credit venture to keep my cat from barfing.

  • al gore is insane. ice is actually getting thicker, and plutos heating up just like us, proving that its a cycle! fuck the green police!

  • You mean, the dog down the hall that doesn't shut up is a result of global warming? COOL! Hahaha!

  • if im correct its now the start of 2010 and we still have ice at the north pole sooooo......what now?

  • already 2009 its still there .

    Or is it going to sink with a nuke ? and a time machine

  • PROOF

  • Santa will move?... humm!!! The south pole's melting too!!! Gess not...but where???

  • already in 09 an proud of it!

  • now were in 2010!

  • that theory didn't pan out well.

  • EPIC FAIL!!!

  • lol it's 2009.. !!!

  • This went down the toilet!

  • the thing you suggested did not happen .

    see most current sat video sequences here on you tube.

  • i heard that ice ages didnt start on earth until after volcanos created central america and seperated the oceans, so all we got to do is sink central america back into the ocean, who's with me!?

  • i am but first let me go get my family.

  • uH.... What?

  • Hah epic fail!

  • well, its 09 and there still ice on the north pole! not to mention, temperatures are cooling, look at my hometown or new york city! we havnt had two straight 90 degree days all summer! if thats any indication, things are starting to improve =D

  • LOL I'm also a New Yorker (Queens) and yeah!

    We haven't!

  • Yup. Agreed, we didn't get summers for the past 2 (3) years! (If you want to be picky say 3, cause for me it seemed like 3 cool summers in a row..but obviously none as cold, rainy, and windy as last summer).

    But on the other hand, this winter has been bearable, which is a nice change...and finally dry! (I say bearable because let's face it, winter is still winter, lol).

  • Apparently that didn't happen! =)

  • this is stupid

  • Global warming is a crock of shit. I'm glad they got this one right, the fucktards.

  • More proof that Global Warming is an incredibly exaggerated claim. Its just another popular bandwagon.

  • hhaaha wrong. Its already almost 2010

  • WE WON GLOBAL WARMING!

  • Not yet-there's still pollution-and Antarctica.

  • Well we at least postponed it!

  • In other words, it's 2009.

    What a stupid way to say it.

  • So... are there still ice up at the North Pole today?

  • and now we are in 2009 and it still has ice ...

  • Shhhhh, don't tell the hippies. We can still bilk tons and tons of cash from them before they even find out that Mars is undergoing the same global effects (and even then I bet we could convince the majority that it was man-made causes as well)! ^.^

  • Fuck you dude, I'm pretty much a hippy. I respect nature and peace but I still think that global warming's just a bunch of bullshit.

  • Um, k... so you're a hippy that buys one less bunch of trash than the rest. Your point?

    BTW I'm a part of nature too. Show some respect. I'm not seeing the peacefulness you claim to possess XP

  • Maybe you're not the general hippy, but for the most part you guys are just a bunch of joiners of anything that separates you from someone you resent.

    P&T convince hippies to ban water, simply because it "sounds like the right thing to do": watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw

    If the world was completely void of killing and collection of natural resources everything would die numnuts. Even animals take natural resources for themselves (ban squirrel nut harvesting now, those greedy capitalist rodents! =P)

  • (Bah, forgot to elaborate on the "everything dieing because of lack of killing")

    We're omnivores; we have the option of eating granola and nuts until we die. Most animals are either herbivores or carnivores; they can't. And also were do you get off saying it's alright to kill certain animals and not others? Unless you literally don't move, you're killing countless insects on a daily basis that DO feel pain. Hypocrite... or are you not that kind of hippy either? Youre just the smoking pot hippy?

  • Exactly! I say leave nature and shit alone... Just dont fuck with it by trying to help it out. We've been here like 3 million years. We discovered heavy industry 200 years ago. 200 vs Earths 4.5 billion.

    And we happen to be so arrogant, we think we're not natural! Do these people that are all "our waste isnt natural" are fucking idiots, WE CAME FROM NATURE. All of nature takes and gives, we take what we get, and give "waste" that something else will probably take. It's that simple.

  • OMG, so basically you just hate everything after the industrial revolution? Then wtf are you doing on a computer? ROFL

    Hypocrisy again....

  • I never said that. The point was WE AINT GONNA DO SHIT to the planet. We're an arrogant fucking race!

  • then your not a hippy... you dont even know the definition of hippy if you think that global warming is a bunch of BS. hippies think that its all ove rthe place. and they think that by "recycling" we will stop it.

  • Hippy, emo, tempermental, goth, prep....

    Fuck labels. I simply fall furthest into the hippy catagory cause I beleive in peace among countries ( no war ) and respect nature. Global warming is bullshit because it's NATURAL.

    And you're thinking of "arrogant idiots" that recycle and shit. They think they can actualy make a difference. Heres a simple thing that will! STOP! Just leave it alone and the Earth will do it for you. That's how things work, it's a self-cleansing system.

  • actually, that's quite debatable. global warming arose due to many factors, largely because of advancement of technology.

    is such scientific development natural?

    much to your displeasure, i'd say that the environmental efforts are natural reactions of people to do what they can to save the earth. self cleansing? no chance. please check reality.

    and yes, global warming might sound incredibly exaggerated. but in fact, it just happens at a relatively slow rate that not many actually bothers.

  • Sure. And next you're going to tell me that there's an invisible man in the sky that watches everything I do, who sent his only son to earth to die. Sure.

  • um not really. I'm not christian thanks. what i'm saying is, don't belittle the consequences of global warming. it may seem minute, but are we in the know of all the effects it could bring upon us? so might as well prevent/impede on the progress of it rather than standing up against it and refusing to acknowledge it, right?

  • It's completely natural, just like how it gets hotter and colder during the year, the Earth will get hotter and colder, but on a larger time scale. It just happens to be warming and people freak out about it.

  • yup. but this is unnaturally heating. the pace isn't right.

    kinda like a slippery slope argument, that by disarrayed patterns, something's got to be wrong. but since earth holds as a home to many, why not try to study the phenomenon and inform people of the situation we're in? it's not totally about freaking out like chicken little..

  • How is it unnatural? Everything that happens is natural. The universe is natural. If it's in this universe, it's natural. Why? Well... just because we have larger brains than the rest of nature doesnt mean that we're not part of it, and if we're part of it, then what we do is natural.

  • i get your point. but are we actually willing and able to do it? you have your set of definition for being natural, but it comes different from others. what these people are doing is probably for the "good" of majority, even if you disagree. the impacts are undeniable. it is definitely challenging to seek things to be au naturel in today's context. in fact, it may seem as a natural reflex to do what these researchers are doing for "the good of mankind". you see where i'm coming from now?

  • But you forgot one thing.... Global Warming is bullshit.

  • hahah nah. the effects are real. you've really got to be more cognizant of that. but well, i agree with your outlook on life nevertheless. for that i've got to say that i've found someone who cares to speak what i'm thinking. but well. this isn't any individual life that we're talking about. it's the entire world population so...

    but one thing's for sure. global warming isn't bullshit. and there's got to something done to satisfy MAJORITY of the people. that's inevitable.

  • You're right - it is a self-cleaning system. But it's just like trying to clean the population of Europe with one bar a soap.

  • Isnt europe in france?

  • ...France is in Europe... Please tell me you were joking... Anyway, FUCK, i didn't realise how long this argument has gone on for LOL!

  • LMAO, Of course I was joking. xD

  • LOLOL! thank god! ;D

    I've got a video for you - I'll drop it off on your channel man

  • ....No,Europe is a continet,France is a country.France is in europe.

  • Europe is not a continent. It is a peninsula off of Asia.

  • Europe is a continent. Fucking idiot.

  • it is a normal cycle but no money is cycles so you have to make it fear. Fear can make good money!

    Turn it from cycle to fear and you are rich if you own everything to protect the world. BS is right. It is a cycle and that is all. Doesn't mean to not care about the planet but understand it is better than fear.

  • Quite well stated ^.^ You get a cookie!

  • Lots of it too.

  • we are not doomed. Weren't there dinosaurs in Antartica 65million years ago? It wasn't solid ice back then.

  • This video confirms it. We are all doomed by the end of 2008.

  • lololololol

  • What the hell, nothing even changed!

  • Whoopsie! Looks like that video had a meltdown.

    Did Algore supply the analysis?

    P.S. Algore invented the internet!

  • are you retarded? you actually think that algore invented the internet?

  • Mike Tyson

  • its sort of weird because a lot of places on earth have become colder than average. So whats the deal old man winter!?

  • Fat chance! We are cooling friend.

  • This image sequence ended over a year ago. Is there a follow up video?

    Also it would be useful to see images going back several years in order to understand the freeze-thaw cycles of the pole.

  • The average temperature where I live has gone up 50 degrees in the last 5 months, at this rate the oceans will evaporate by chistmas. It's science!!

  • agreed

  • little to late for that.....

  • ! Read with caution. Crack babies commenting below.

  • You're a fucking retarded crack baby yourself. Probably an oops child too.

  • Good luck in everything else you do, you're going to need it. watch out for the elves and pink unicorns along the way.

  • And you watch out for the hammers I just threw at you. They're accelerating even now. Fingerchuds, indeed.

  • o.k. Thor.

  • THUNDER!!!!!!!!!

  • hmmm... it's 2009 and im sure there's still lots of ice in the North pole!

    Great clip of showing none of these stupid predictions of the world's end is true.

  • crack baby

  • now so happens to be the warmer period, as it has in the past, and it will in time return to normal and then back to cold etc etc

  • crack baby

  • Shit just happens without cause or consequence: Science!

  • Haha its still here.

  • gay, pseudoscience

  • Boy were you off or what? You sound just like the Y2K idiots.

    Global warming is a scam for money only.

    Our climate is changing every day and it will until the end of days.

  • hahaha global shwirming

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahaha it actually grew a whole lot last year.

  • Its 2009 and the ice is still there. Shit video.

  • North Pole ice gone? wow, the global warming loons are at it again! Way to go Al Gore, what an idiot! There are so many studies to show that global warming is a farce.

  • 2008 the arctic ice grows 1.000.000 qkm, three times the area of germany.

  • Comment removed

  • please look at,/man walk across america/UTUBE IM WALKING ACROSS AMERICA PROMOTING HUMAN KINDNESS AND STOPING GLOBLE WARMING WITH BAMBOO????????I AM ONE MAN TRING TO CHANGE R WORLD thank u armand young bamboothewalk/utube

  • ICE marker buoeys show Polar Ice rotates clockwise relative to land(earth rotates counterclockwise when looking down on N.Pole.)

    Ice bergs spilling into the North Atlantic is normal due to this rotation; A Ice berg got the Titanic remember? Bering sea can inject warmer water into Arctic from "Ring of Fire" pacific, La Nina seems to correspond to a high warm Bering Sea &this clockwise current allows thinning of ICE due to a venturi effect shooting the warm water in when La Nina occurs.

  • And the Broncos might win the super bowl.

  • And russians were killing to get grip on ice free ports - now maybe they would trade using sea instead of invading other countries...

  • nothing new, the arctic was ice free for the most part in the 12th through 14th centuries.

  • The north pole was once completely melted. And once the ice extended down to nearly the middle of the united stated.

    And once again alarmists have egg on their face and continue on without acknowledging empirical evidence.

  • OOOooops ... just slightly wrong with 2008's big ice increase !

  • Climatologists have used various techniques and evidence to reconstruct a history of the Earth's past climate. From this data, they have found that during most of the Earth's history global temperatures were probably 8 to 15 degrees Celsius warmer than today. In the last billion years of climatic history, warmer conditions were broken by glacial periods starting at 925, 800, 680, 450, 330, and 2 million years before present. I'm not going to lose any sleep over Climate Change. It's natural.

  • The hole is blotted out.

  • The last Interglacial, the Eemian, was about 5 degrees warmer then now. 125,000 years ago. Our ancestors survived, and so did the coral reefs and Polar Bears. Tree lines were about 350 miles further north. Pretty well an ice free Arctic Ocean.

    Global Warming is nothing new. Just be glad it isn't Global Cooling. Then you would really have a serious problem. Imagine mile thick ice scraping cities from the face of the Earth and almost no crops growing at all. Mass starvation on a level never seen.

  • The dot on north pole is to cover the hole.

  • although i bwlwive in global warming

    and that we may end up living in a world without ice caps

    i really don't think that there isn't going to be any ice this year

    cause as far as i know its still there

    you need to clean out your glasses

    Scince boy

  • Ask yourself why is the northpole covered??? Then check out "AGARTHA".

  • is it me or there is no more north pole on google earth and nasa World wind ?

  • AGARTHA
