Time-lapse footage reveals glacier in crisis

[MisterMumps]

Well, in fact, human activity is estimated to produce some 6 billion tons of CO2 but other processes on Earth produce 200 billion tons, rendering anything humans produce as almost irrelevant. That's it. There is no reason to do anything, nor can anything be done, especially in ignorance of geophysical processes and dynamics. Unclear whether CO2 is significantly causal, either, upon any "warming" process occurring.

[ericajjful]

great video thanks

[alexasmithy]

some sweet info here

[Noise509]

well the most recent ice age is over, so i don't think they'll be growing back any time soon. this is not a crisis.

[vengencefrom1979]

current CO2 levels are at 389 ppm and rising. it wont be long before antarctica begins to thaw as fast as greenland currently is, which btw is rising out of the sea at a rate of 1 inch per year. when antarctica thaws enough it too will rise out of the sea. it is connected to every tectonic plate around the world and will crack the earths crust. this isnt doomsday bull, this is science, and quite likely the worse threat facing mankind.

[zimmy81]

and the water compresses the sea bottom causing earthquakes, why not mention a valid point.

[UnitedCorpOfAmerica]

Carbon tax... Quick! LOL

[stevencraig349]

would want to be standing on that thing

[david222444]

No need to worry global cooling has started. The Planet's temperatures are now plummeting to new lows. The pendulum has swung in the opposite direction look out for freezing winters.

[vexviper]

I can't wait until they all melt so people will stfu about it.

[squamish4244]

@vexviper If Greenland and Antarctica melt people will not stfu...because global sea levels will be 250 feet higher and every coastal city will be fucked, along with about a billion people.

[vexviper]

@squamish4244 Good I can't wait! Then people will stfu!

[5277407]

I don't see how glaciers shrinking is a crisis. Here's a phenomena you may not have realized yet: Ice Melts!

[Dragonstud]

happens every year since it formed ......

[jwboll]

Where's the Crisis?

is the research funding dwindling since we haven't all died of heat stroke yet?

[meadrose]

Actually when you compare the melt against the reforming...we are in serious trouble. There is a strong likelihood that a sizable chunk will break off all at once in the next 5 years that could cause a tsunami 300 ft tall to hit Europe and the Eastern seaboard of the USA.

[ReisendeEuropa]

Meadrose, where are you thinking exactly? The effects of a tsunami caused by the Jakobshavn glacier would only be felt in the Disko bay and maybe as far away as Baffin Island.

[rushforce33]

I bet Al Gore paid for this with our tax dollars.....dick....

SUMMER....ICE melts...

Winter.....ice forms....

Hmmmm......seems normal to me...

NO PROBLEM !

[roidroid]

Don't you know about the Fjord?

Fjord is the word

[razorflown2]

Ford?

[roidroid]

No, no, Fjord!

Fjord is the word

Havn't you heard, about the Fjord?

Everybody knows that the Fjord is the word

[razorflown2]

Ford?

[ReisendeEuropa]

Fjord er den ord.. så kom om bord... Vet du at Fjord er den ord?! Alle vet at Fjord er den ord!

[razorflown2]

totally, I drive a Ford Ranger

[ReisendeEuropa]

Jeg skal kjøre min Ford til den Fjord, så komme om bord! Vet du at Fjord er den ord? Alle vet at Fjord er den ord! Kom til de Fjorder før isen er bort! :D

[razorflown2]

Ya, sorry, I don't speak retard.

[ReisendeEuropa]

Well you and roidroid talking about fords and fjords.. I just thought I'd have a bit of fun with it since fjord is a norwegian word.. so why not talk about driving a ford to the fjord in norwegian?

[razorflown2]

lol, what the shit. That's funny. awesome.

[Pyroney]

fjord and word dont rhyme

[ultratacoRX7]

So, it melts in the summer and forms again in the winter? How is that "in crisis"?

[arquemond]

The effects on climate change don´t have to do with smoking, rather, they are affected by industry of many sorts... If it´s true that we are only tipping the balance on the climate crisis, it is also true that most of our productive processes and natural resources exploitation does cause harsh consequences to our environment. Make a change!

[grraadd]

Studying glacier for a year and talking about crisis... Very scientific :-(

These processes are so slow that you need hundreds of years to form any conclusions (remember about natural fluctuations).

Glaciers in Scotland or around Baltic Sea are extinct but you are not crying about it.

[squamish4244]

@grraadd They've studied Greenland for decades, and taken core samples going back 600,000 years...yes it is very scientific. Deny, deny, deny everything.

[ChristopherRDennis]

@grraadd This argument is laughable. Science takes time. Also, scientists are using many different observations concerning different variables all over the world. Every scientific academy on the planet agrees that man-made global warming is a reality. None do not (there isn't one that says there is 'another side to the story'). Look it up for yourself. If this is as serious as the scientists are warning, we need to do something about it.

[grraadd]

@ChristopherRDennis please do... just don't force me to pay some cunning scumbags (they still cooperate to cook data - new batch of e-mails shows that clearly) my last euros!

[arquemond]

Proof for all the non-believers. The earth is changing and we are stuck in the middle. Heed the warning, make a change.

[bscs2a]

stop arguing if this is true or not. the important is we know how to help to save the earth. even though is not true that someday earth will be lost. here's the idea there is no permanent in this world. you have house and you know someday that its gonna be old but if you know how to clean and you are doing the maintenance it would stay longer. same with the earth. the only difference we can buy a house we can transfer if we want. but is there any other earth?

[jagiar]

This is environmentalist propaganda bs! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let's get the science correct!

Some of you on YT may be too young to remember but 30 years ago the world was afraid that the earth was going to freeze over. Five years ago (and till this present day) they said the earth is going to get to hot to live on. Now, after Mother Nature has decided to turn the tables on the envirn movement (EM) twice the EM has decided to call it "Climate Change". Please! This is pure propoganda.

[jagiar]

So it no longer matters if the earth gets hot or cold- it's "Climate Change". Where's the science?? Of course there is climate change. The climate changes ALL THE TIME!

Jesus people, open your eyes & use your heads! If the ozone layer is depleting in the antartic/artic then why isn't it getting hotter where you or I live?? Why is the destruction ALWAYS occuring in the most remote places on earth - where masses of people cannot confirm it & never in cities??

[jagiar]

And what is govt's/environmentalists solution to "Climate Change"? Taxes - like always!! So it's ok to polute the environment as long as you can afford to pay to polute it. If it's really a problem, why do govt officials travel by private jets? Why do they always have fleets of SUV's to travel the streets in?

Come on people, learn to recognize a scam when you sniff one.

I'm not saying we should not conserve and preserve. But let's not make up excuses for PBP's and new taxes.

[bscs2a]

stop arguing if this is true or not. the important is we know how to help to save the earth. even though is not true that someday earth will be lost. here's the idea there is no permanent in this world. you have house and you know someday that its gonna be old but if you know how to clean and you are doing the maintenance it would stay longer. same with the earth. the only difference we can buy a house we can transfer if we want. but is there any other earth?

[mg2sna]

OMG TRIPODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Norphax]

wether you believe it is man made or not, it is happening, and in 50 years some countries will be below sea level, real questions is:

Are we going to attempt to stop this?

[10m19l92o]

the majority of people will say they want to, but still drive their 13mpg suvs around. that and oil and car company lobbyists preventing helpful bills from passing.

attempt-yes, accomplish any realistically helpful goals-no.

i also think that saying that glo. war. isn't our fault is a good excuse not to do anything to change our unnatural(more like removed completely from nature)lifestyles. my two cents.

[caper1243]

is there any solid proof or is it just theory about this whole global warming...the arctic is losing ice while he antarctic is gaining ice at an unprecedented rate. sea levels are not rising...every hear of the urban heat sink phenomenon...look into it. global warming isnt cold hard fact...

[rawrrawrrawr232111]

I hate her fucking voice.

[Sameoldjo]

nuuuuuuuuuuu! global warming !go away!

[ManifestPanda]

granted, the sun does melt the top layer of glaciers every year, but its getting much worse. global warming is no myth, its completely due to pollution and human emmissions. polar bears are dying now that every summer is getting worse and taking their hunting habitat away before hibernation. something should be done.

[JakeTiDe]

Kill humanity? naah, wouldn't change a thing. We let all of this into motion and we can't stop it.

[SRZsmack]

you are typical... polar bears? trying to get to the beary side of my heart!!!?? global warming is bull!!!!! if you listen to scientists then you would hear that a moose produces more carbon monoxide gas in a day than a car does in a year.

[ManifestPanda]

i know for a fact that thats not true, animals only produce about a percent of the greenhouse gases that humans do with fossil fuels. and the fact that there are 6,000,000,000 people in this world that have a car, have been in one, or want one makes it worse. and thats only civilian pollution, not to mention the mass companies that release pollution. i guess by your theory the kyoto protocol is meaningless and the depleting animal habitats are just bull. ... ignorance.

[Maximusdragon]

dont you hate it when people dont believe in global warming or think it is animals.

[Gahgajgak]

it pretty much is bullshit saying that it's our fault that it is happening. it isn't ours, the world was a ball of ice and it started melting through the middle and spreading up and down to show the world as it is

[jagiar]

What's to hate - that people are using their heads and will no longer believe what they see on television just because it's on television?

It hasn't been getting warmer where I live. It snowed in Canada two days ago. We're still in OCTOBER!! Where's the warming? Open your eyes and observe things for yourself. Don't believe things just because it's coming from the mainstream media.

[jagiar]

"We're still in OCTOBER" - I meant when it snowed.

[sollyjim]

You obviously don't understand how climate change works and using your personal observations to disprove it is analogous to saying that smoking doesn't cause cancer because you don't know anyone who smokes and has cancer. We can agree that winter in Canada sucks, but it's supposed to be 10 degrees above normal the next few days. Hmmm... maybe you'll change you're mind then.

[jagiar]

You're right - I don't know shit about climate change. And the reason I don't know is because the effects are not obvious. Otherwise if they were obvious then the science would be solid - which it obviously isn't.

What I do know is a little about statistics. And I know ALOT of smokers (I am one). In fact I live in a country of smokers and you know what? The rate of cnacer is no higher here than in any other country.

[jagiar]

Now if the rate here was higher I might say to myself "hey, there may just be a link between smoking and cancer". But I WOULD NOT just believe the link because the media tells me there is. That's what science is for. First you hypothesize a link, then you isolate the external variables that could affect your study, then you observe and then you make a conclusion. It's called "the scientific method" - which obviously isn't being used in this realm.

[sollyjim]

Fair enough. I don't think the effects of climate change are as dire as the "media" make them out to be either but scientific data has shown that the global climate is changing. I'm not even saying it's man-made, just that I've seen enough scientific data to know that something is going on. I can understand you're point of view though... from one canuck smoker to another :Y

[jagiar]

I was born in CDA but no longer reside there.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we shouldn't "clean up our act" (sorry). I just wouldn't want to see the whole thing get manipulated so that the govt's of the world can have a pretext for alterior motives.

I just find it strange that the affects of "climate change" are being pushed as being 'dire' yet I've yet to see any affects here (in Europe) nor in Canada when I lived there. So why are the supposed affects so drastic in remote places?

[jagiar]

I would like to get off the use of oil (I think we're going to be forced to eventually - it can't last forever). But I certainly do not think carbon dioxcide is a pollutant and I certainly would not like to see the citizens of nations be taxed for breathing.

[Maximusdragon]

Well the affects of global warming are obvious, maybe not where you live.

And smoking is believed to helping global warming decrease actually, this is because the cigarette smoke is white, which reflects the rays.

[arkabamaboy]

so i guess we should just go down the street and buy some cancer sticks huh? stupid idiots that smoke have no idea of the damage it does to you later in life.

[jagiar]

What are you - 12 years old? If you don't smoke how do you know what it does to you? My grandfather, A life-long smoker died at the age of 82. Until the age of 80 he was still working construction. My Grandmother, who lived with a family of smokers is still alive at 81. What do you know about the science of smoking and health/cancer? I suspect only what you hear in the media and not much else.

[Adkit2]

who the hell...allows an 80 year old man...work in construction? and you call others blue-eyed for believing what they hear. hypocrite.

ALSO, the point of "smoking is bad for you" isn't that you WILL get cancer and die. but that you CAN. I'm positive that there are looots of people who would counter your story with how they had to care for and look after their mother for several years who was dying in lung-cancer.

the point is: it's a risk, it's dumb to take it because it's your life.

[jagiar]

It was his choice. It was his hobby. What was I to do hold a gun to his head and stop him? What are you, some type of fascist?

Also, if you hold the same type of reasoning to the science of "climate change" as you do to the smoking-cancer link then we are all in trouble.

[Adkit2]

also, this video is about glaciers, why are you people talking about smoking? x.x

[buttdread]

hypocrite. you're the one talking about smokeing.

[naxalite]

yes we do and I love it!!!

[jagiar]

Thats my point. Why ISN'T it obvious where I live. Where the SUV's are? Where indusrty is? Why are the affects ALWAYS seen where the air should be the cleanest - like in the artic? How is it possible that the polution we make here never seems to affect our climate but affects the climate some remote place on earth?

Come on people, use your brain. Stop believing the media hype.

[buttdread]

If you are smokeing and dont know the effects, then you shouldn't be smokeing....but, seriously...who doesn't know the effects of smokeing now n' days?!?!

[woebog]

What's truly lame about serious lifetime smokers is that their faces look like old skanky leather gloves.

[MHeardOnBass]

1st, spell smoking correctly, then go on your tirade...

[buttdread]

i'll smokeing a cigarate one thas remarcs!

[aliv101010]

termites do more damage than us : ) true story and they greenhouse gas thats having most effect is water vapour and not carbon emissions

[jagiar]

No one is saying that we should not reduce our use of 'fossil' fuels (you really believe that oil comes from dinasaurs??). What they are saying is let's not use the politics of fear to propogate an agenda that has alterior motives. People who believe in the fear factor are the ignorant ones.

And the reduction of animal habitats has far more to do with urban sprawl - the incursion into their habitants by ours and not "climate change".

[cshcrazy]

who needs ice anyways

[PositiveChillout]

Isn't what just happened perfectly normal??

[charms2]

that it happens - yes.but the retreat of the glaciers over the last 50 years occurs at a velocity never observed before in history.

[oomblikkies]

@charms2 yeah right - who observed glacier retreat in the preceeding 50 or 100 years? It is only the last 10 or 20 years that accurate data is taken.

[charms2]

@oomblikkies 1. your statement is factually incorrect 2. a photograph is all you need to reconstruct the size of a glacier 100 years ago. of course, that is not as exact as a measurement: but by far exact enough to give you an assesssment.

[oomblikkies]

@charms2 how can you reconstruct the size of an old glacier from a recent photo? How do you know if the extrapolation is linear, logarithmic, quadratic, etc. etc.

[greeeeh]

@oomblikkies You can easily messure the retreat many years ago by looking at vegetation around the glacier. A glacier moving forward will also push a wall of rocks in front of it, creating a morain when it starts retreating. These morains and geological conditions around them will also tell a great deal about the movement of the glacier several hundred years ago.

[oomblikkies]

@greeeeh Okay, let us assume you are right. What does this tell us? That Greenland is returning to the state when the Vikings farmed there. Anything special about that? No - earth does go through these warmer and colder climatic periods.

[WaxItYourself]

@oomblikkies They currently do farm on Greenland. Greenland was named Greenland by Eric the Red because he was hoping people would be eager to go there because of the name. The settlement, however, did nto last long because of harsh conditions. You should study up on this stuff before making statements like above.

[oomblikkies]

@WaxItYourself Yes, that is the popular claim by alarmists, but science has a different story. Carbon dating of organic residues found in todays glaciers shows that large parts of Greenland was indeed habitable in the medieval period.

[WaxItYourself]

@oomblikkies Notice I said 'the settlement did not last long due to the harsh conditions'. Greenland is as warm today as it was back then. Greenland is still habitable and farming is currently done on Greenland. Of course this has nothing to do with the reality or non-reality of anthropogenic global warming which is what your term 'alarmists' implies. If you want to talk about science you can start by looking up the greenhouse effect.

[oomblikkies]

@WaxItYourself Ha, ha - you want me to read about the greenhouse effect. Perhaps you should have a look at inrared absorption spectra of CO2 and water, the equilibrium between H2O and CO2, hydrogen bonding in H2O, latent heat of H2O, dispersion of uv- and IR-rays by clouds, limitations in the models used for climate prediction, toxicity of CO2, etc. Have a nice Xmas.

[WaxItYourself]

@oomblikkies Ahh, the old 14.5/15 micrometers argument and a bunch of other old arguments including the 'hotspot' and cloud dimming. Now maybe you can explain to me what the medieval warm period has to do with todays warming. It's well known the this period fell in the Medieval Maximum and solar input was a major contributing factor.

[Traimechify]

@charms2 "Observed in History" Sadly, Humanity hasnt been monitoring the worlds ice for very long. The only time it got recorded before the late 1800's is when something HUGE and noticable happened. Losing Ice in Antarctica or Far North at a gradual rate, is well; News, but something that could have been going on for thousands of years before we noticed it.

[charms2]

@Traimechify

1. Glaciers have been monitored for 200 +years, ever since the last expansion in 1850. While it is true that most of the original data is fairly unreliable (the "length" of a glacier is not properly defined, the mass is hard to measure), direct observation is by no means the only possibility of exploring the earth climate in the past: measurements of ice cores, tree rings, investigation of strata etc all indict that this is man made



[sarcoed]

In crisis?... this is a common occurance at both poles and is normal. Poor attempt at spinning the global warming scare.

[darfunkelidas]

Only politicians or politically influenced people (like Penn influenced by libertarians) say what's happening is normal. You won't find a single real scientific journal that says it's normal. Not one.

[jaxford25]

sorry i voted you down, i meant to vote you up :S its an overwhelming result isn't it, based on the scientific method, the probability that every scientific journal would say its not normal... its frustratingly complexing to try to understand why people dont take this as good information and still refute it when hard workers have collected the data... ask the opposition... Have you got anything to show its normal? Where is your information coming from?

[darfunkelidas]

They just borrow words from a couple of ex weather broadcasters that have never done any research and they believe them because they are old, they look smart and they tell them what they want to hear. Id tell all of them to go pick up an issue of nature environment, or at least new scientist.

[MagikGimp]

worrying... both global warming and the idiots posting here

[faszika]

yes lots of idiots

[spydergarbler]

Wow...I never knew glaciers could move and melt in the summer and freeze back up in the winter.

[backwoodsmister]

Wow! Ice is melting! That must mean it is entirely made by humans! Nevermind that there was a previous Ice Age, this is totally different!

We better give Al Gore an award of some kind and pray that he will start a multi-billion dollar company that will tax our oxygen and save us from ourselves!

I bet you anything this video makes the hippies cry.That is why I drive an SUV, just to piss off the gay hippies in Boulder.

[LeeAlbrandt]

Nice vid.

[writofmandamus]

for every action there is a reaction, humans are doing actions that haven't been done before, and hence there will be a certain reaction to it, in this case, most likely causing glaciers to melt

[Divine562]

The sun, during summer, had nothing to do with this?

[westlock]

What is the crisis? All I see is a glacier melting in the summertime.

[SpudXXXX]

Looks OK to me!

[prfctday]

Glaciers do this all the time and always have.

[miragebird]

Higher carbon levels aren't necessary a bad thing, its just that many things cannot get used to it fast enough. If global warming was spread out more then we wouldn't have a problem.

[danoking69]

TRUTH SHARE!! EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION AND FRAUD!!!! Equality, peace and LOVE to all~!~

[nokilt1]

good luck cooling down the sun

humans are only responsible for 5% of earths carbon release yearly

and water vapor is a much more potent greenhouse gas

[crazyforvideosdx]

I can sense liberals starting to rally. Guys, we can help but let's be serious, there are many more important things in our world to do for us to put global warming in our number 1 priority.

[PrivateSlacker]

I never met a alcoholic who truly kicked the habit for good. Nor a permanent ex-smoker, except the ones who are dead.

Humans won't break their dependance on wasteful living. Whether we cause global warming or its a natural cycle, it will happen nomatter what we lamely attempt to do.

[marsCubed]

Human beings will soon exhausted various resources, this will lead to either better management, or outright bigoted war over what is left. The UK announced an 80% reduction in it's carbon emissions today. If the USA doesn't elect an oil swigging cretin for president in the forthcoming elections, then perhaps we will see similar policy spreading to other places too.

[whoGotgrapes]

dunno its an addiction..as most commonly said..im a smoker..there are limitations too..shit like carbon we can slow that down if its true what they say that we helped in fukni it all up..or its a natural thing ..but we need new cars that produce the same amount of power,the cars might have to be bigger or shrink the battery but im sure some shit like electric could even be safer

[polandone]

global warming is going to suck 4 our kids and grandkids. ah fuck this trying to fix our planet. the kids r goin to think of something

[searella59]

A mini ice age corrected that.

[mesowhite1]

personally i don't believe in the whole climate change thing i know theres natural change over time but i don't think humans are contributing to it when a volcano erupts it puts out 10x as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than humans have in ten years.

[CognosSquare]

If volcano eruptions are constant this would indicate that the margins for driving the earth into ice age are pretty slim.

[ChristopherRDennis]

@CognosSquare We are less able to do something about

this problem because a great deal of energy is

being spent instead getting people on board to

believe a problem exists

[ChristopherRDennis]

@CognosSquare This is incorrect information - humans emit 100

times CO2 than volcanoes - see the website

skepticalscience. com / volcanoes-and-

global-warming. htm for scientific review of the

matter. It is irresponsible to spread ill-

thought-out ideas like yours that are counter to

scientific knowledge of a very real problem we are

facing.

[Idler81643]

Where did you read that from? I was intrigued by your claim, but after some googling, I think that's a myth...

[youzurk]

why the sound?

Are you scientist o SCI FI?

[Schmogel92]

It's the "real" sound. Didn't you hear what she sayd? ;)

"The sound you're hearing was produced by converting seismic waves"

[comfortablesofa]

Backstreet Boys have more sciency music than that intro music! CHANGE IT!

[Christophebano]

NEVER

[comfortablesofa]

Well - I was exaggerating. But that music is so 8th grade science when the things discussed in these videos actually involve significant graduate level research. I think the music really underplays that. I'm a big believer in the details of things when it comes to presentations ... I think some types of classical music would sound much more appropriate as an opening sound byte.

[Christophebano]

you're overlooking the unimportantance within the video ;P it's fine how it is, it's more like a signature than a '8th grade science' theme, that's how i'd recognise the video's theirs.

[comfortablesofa]

I already lauded the content of the show ... I don't follow what you're insinuating by saying I am overlooking the 'unimportance within the video' ... My job is making presentations and I would never put anything as tacky as that music for the kind of profound information that's discussed. The fact that you can recognize it because of the music doesn't mean anything. In the future, a better music byte that played repeatedly would also make you identify this series with that sound byte.

[Ariji86]

glacier is my friend

[simple11q]

you can give it a big warm hug

[minicus]

:(

Thats quite scary, and sad

[Idler81643]

What is scary is the number of commenters that thinks global warming is due to human activities...

[Idler81643]

typo...

What is scary is the number of commenters that thinks global warming is NOT due to human activities...

[Spanky2k]

Well Sarah Palin's said that she doesn't believe its due to human activities and she's apparently an educated potential world leader. Shows how stupid people can be!

[RobeonMew]

Aliens are to blame for global warming!

(sarcasim)

[wesNYC]

no sarcasm, TRUE !

[searella59]

Well, what evidence do you have of that? I thought we aliens hid our agenda sufficiently. (more sarcasm)

[searella59]

Not we aliens- the aliens.

[RobeonMew]

well i saw one of you pissing all over the ice berg Trump bought form us

(more more sarcasim)

[searella59]

Was it green? Inquiring minds want to know. ;P

[RobeonMew]

it was green and blue. also some colors not able to be seen on this planet

[zqueenbean]

Educated perhaps, highly intelligent, doubtful.

[zqueenbean]

Actually, there is natural climate change and there is change from human activities. Scientists have agreed on the human factor since the 1940s. With all due respect, maybe you could get your facts from scientists and not republican opinion printed in the wall street journal.

[VampireSaviorX]

zqueenbean, thank you.

I've tried to make this point to so many people. Global climate change due to human activity is not a political debate, it's a scientific debate, and scientists agree that it occurs.

[perqa]

this is actually pretty scary :/

[TheDave]

that sound is soothing ^-^

yeah, i said it.

[morethansalt]

very experimental side of idm, I agree.

[SAsgarters]

"that being said, we shouldn't go crazy with emissions."

- Agreed.

"again, what we need to focus on are other pollutants!"

- Yes, other pollutants as well.

[SAsgarters]

"in terms of green house gases."

- In terms if greenhouse gases, yes.

"there's an 800yr gap between co2 levels and a rise in temp."

- Nobody is denying that. Fact of the matter is that the CO2 levels also serve to accelerate the increase in temp.

"also, co2 levels were actually higher in the 19th and early 20th centuries."

- Actually, they weren't.

"what we're pumping into the environment is of little consequence to climate change."

- Wrong.

Relax, scientists have found that the ice is getting thicker in arctic. You have to have a view of the whole global to realize that this isn't anything out of the norm. Ice melts here and it forms there. Ice forms here and it melts there. On and on...

It's when some grab a story and blow it up and say over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
