[jcrobso]

During the middles ages the earth was warmer that it is now.

Google viking settlements in Iceland.

[duritoyrico]

wow, i need to connect to your sattelites for check that and see by my self to feel that expereience...

could you give me a job with you ?

i want to live where the ice is

[alex568plank]

All of these global warming advocates predict doom for the planet in the next 5 to 10 years and the idiots can't even give a decent weather forcast for the next 3 weeks!! Where I live, we have had more snow in October than we are supposed to get all winter and it isn't even winter!! And it was the coolest summer in a 100 years. Remember, we are still in the warming period after the last ice age. There is warming but it is just part of the natural cycle of the climate.

[dalellll]

@alex568plank Not true. If this was a natural cycle, days would warm faster than nights, summers faster than winters, the equator faster than the poles. In fact, the reverse is true. Thats the signature of greenhouse gas emissions being responsible. The warming over the past 40 years has been established to be unrelated to the sun (which has been stable/cooling since 1970) - but it matches very well with CO2 atmospheric increases. + Absorption signature of CO2 has been detected by satelites.

[giallosevillista]

@SaltineCrackaAss In Europe from 2009 is colder than usually.

[goog2k]

"The most recent period when CO2 levels were as high as today was around 15 million years ago, during the Middle Miocene. CO2 levels were at about 400 ppm.

"What was the climate like at the time? Global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today.

"Sea level was approximately 75 to 120 feet higher. There was no permanent sea ice cap in the Arctic and very little ice on Antarctica and Greenland. "

"So why cant you show us real time pictures I mean we have satellite's that must have been recording this over the years. or do we?this is fake

[NASAexplorer]

Please see the response above. This is a data-visualization, meaning that the computer scientists we work with take all of the 1's and 0's in binary code from the satellites and process them to create visual images. In this particular case, the AMSR-E instrument used microwaves to determine what is ice and what is open ocean over time, in a much more accurate way than photos could ever show.

[Deeked]

Why is it that these depictions of the ice melting are not true sat footage, but they are computer animated footage?

[NASAexplorer]

Satellites don't generally collect "footage" per say, so we have data visualizers who specialize in working with scientists and translating the true satellite data into a video sequence. So what you're seeing here is not an artist's rendition, but is in fact actual satellite data. Our group that did this is the "Scientific Visualization Studio" and you can read and see more about them/by them if you google for their web site.

[Deeked]

Thank you very much for the info m8. ;)

[dannymite1981]

Makes me laugh when people say global warming is a hoax,especially when around 95% of the worlds top scientists agree that it happening and that fossil fuels and co2 emissions are to blame.neh mind i live in the uk we could do with the warmer weather.

[videochick770]

so true. people amaze me.

[bellyzbad]

can i ask do u think when the floods come will live throw it

[sk8erkidMAB8]

it is a conspiricy it ain't gonna happen goverment just wants to control of by scaring us

[shauntampa]

Global warming is caused by the rise of trash can fires in the hoods across the nation

[tiapon]

nibiru? thats a hoax...cuz its not in our orbit. its disclassified by the professionals at nasa. they know it better than we do

[T2Judgmentday]

When will Nasa come forward with UFO facts, several ex members already have.

[StopClimateCrisis]

80% of global warming can be solved by going veg!

[popupwool]

It's NOT because of pollution(I'm vegetarian by the way)...It's because NIBIRU is approaching!!!

[pwincessMB]

What is REALLY happening is:

There is a temperature cycle that belongs to the Earth. It Rises then falls, rises then falls staying in roundabout the same area. Then it rises dramatically, and drops dramatically again. then it Rises then falls, Rises then falls staying in ...like that.

But we are making it worse by burning fossil fuels too much and heating up the earths atmosphere. So by recycling, opening curtains instead of turning on lights and shutting off the heat and wearing a jumper

[pwincessMB]

we can help to lower the temperature but not the natural thing...btw the dramatic rise is coming to about 2013/ 2015 sort of time..bejing olympics...good look to ya. :(

[Tbonyandsteak]

Northpole is gone this year.

If the ice aroud Greenland and Southpole is gone this will happen.

a:

The ice worked as a warmreflecter too the sun.

If gone water work as warmkeeper and absorber.

means the melting off greenland and Southpols melt faster.

b: freshwater lake will appear on the land making the ice moving faster too the sea.

And there is not enough snow comming in the winter too keep the ice status.

So Fact is THIS IS AN ACCELERATING MELT EFFECT

[eddiewetter]

You need to go get the book, "The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so"

just google "The Deniers", you can find it on Amazon. The guy interviews 38 of the worlds top scientists, all of whom are skeptical of the idiotic "Global Warming" nonsense, which has no scientific basis, just guesswork, speculation and fraud. No science at all shows manmade "global warming" is going on.

[jonbar87]

your exactly right.

[WolfishNuckajuh]

how do you know there wasnt any ice fpr one hundred million years, you must be an old dude

[cowboycarl04]

aww how cute... i state some facts about polar bear populations and I get a negative response...

[rspawn]

Arctic winter temperature has increased 6 degrees Celsius over that past 20 years. source: NASA

[cowboycarl04]

well then I can't wait for you environmental friendly terrorists start to show up in China and other parts of the world in 2030 when they refuse to care about the environment

[rspawn]

"increasing differences between summer and winter temperatures is indicative of a DECREASING global temperature trend."

Except that for the past decade arctic winter temperatures are a lot HIGHER than they used to be.

[yadsik]

MYTH: Recent cold winters and cool summers don't feel like global warming to me.

FACT: While different pockets of the country have experienced some cold winters here and there, the overall worldwide trend is warmer winters.

[cowboycarl04]

myth:While different pockets of the country have experienced some cold winters here and there, the overall worldwide trend is warmer winters.

FACT:Average world temperatures have decreased since the last powerful el nino year of 1998... el nino years are typically the hottest years on record

[Blogengezer]

Ice caps on the planet earth are so rare (I wonder why) as to only be present 4 to 5 times in the entire history of earth, coming and going relatively rapidly. NO ice caps is the overwhelming 'normal' for earth. C The Mid Cretaceous went for about one hundred million years with out any ice caps and a quite uniform temperature over the entire planet.

Megafauna and Megaflora did quite well, at least until 65 mil yrs ago :>)

[yadsik]

Polar Bears eat large amounts and store energy for a long period of time. They feed mainly on ringed seals which they can only hunt from ice sheets, their hunting season always ends when ice starts to retreat. The average weight of lone female polar bears was approximately 290 kg in 1980 and 230 kg in 2004. By 2050 they will disappear from Hudson bay completely and by 2080 they will become extinct as a result of disappearing in Greenland.

[yadsik]

Primary Tier wildlife depends upon a cold season and a warm season, especially in the Arctic. As a result of global warming's effect on them, there will be no more fish in 50 years.

[Blogengezer]

Polar Bear population over 50 years ago vs today, please explain the increase? If everything evolves like many say, why don't the Polar Bears just evolve? For that matter, why didn't the Sabre toothed Cats or the Short Faced Bears, or the Megafauna of the North American Continent during the last Ice Age? so Many questions for non-political Science to answer.

Please allow the true scientific research to continue without political influence forcing and distorting the known facts.

[yadsik]

There has hardly been an increase of polar bears over the past 50 years, they have been poached for half that time and evolution is not going to solve a thing. Evolution is not adaptation, it requires millions of years of mutation and natural selection, not 50.

[Blogengezer]

The year 2050 is surprisingly (to some) a critical point. It coincides with the middle of the 400 yr warm cycle's noted in the Milankovitch and Maunder study's, as well as the far more important, point at which Malthus theory will be 'field tested'. It will be interesting and gradual of course.

[yadsik]

your simply going to have to prove to me that the greenhouse effect does not increase temperature.

[cowboycarl04]

please be quiet about the polar bear... they have increased in population 3 or 4 fold in the past 25 years, and are hunted and shot for overpopulation... just be quiet with scare tactics...

[jizzmonger]

LOL!!

You honestly think stating facts will get you anywhere with a Global Warming Believer?

[cowboycarl04]

with a name like jizzmonger, you do speak the truth

[dafunkmonster]

the poles have been melting every spring, and freezing every winter for millions upon millions of years.

humans are so incredibly naive. we assume that the earth and everything around us is static, when in reality, the sun and the earth are as dynamic as the wildlife on our level.

everyone freaks out the first time they see this, and only because someone once lied to them about humans causing global warming, and everyone imagines the earth turning into a second Venus or something.its all lies

[rspawn]

"the poles have been melting every spring, and freezing every winter for millions upon millions of years."

But arctic ice has not been decreasing from year to year, every year, as it has been for the past decade.

[cthomas8]

Well all the extra C02 released by humans can't help the greenhouse effect. Human Actions + Natural Climatic Warming Cycles = Bigger problems than Nature Left Alone...

[dafunkmonster]

there are 38 molecules of C02 for every 100,000 molecules of air in the atmosphere.

tell me how that's significant? water vapor makes up 95% of all greenhouse gases on the planet. why aren't we worried about all those boiling potatoes and pasta putting off steam in everyone's kitchens? why aren't we trying to prevent the oceans from evaporating lots of water into the atmosphere?

because real scientists understand that the Sun, not C02, is the source of all climate change on planet earth.

[sydneydoc]

INCREASING POLAR ICE:

On a global basis, world sea ice in April 2008reached levels that were "unprecedented" for the month of April in over 25 years. Levels are the third highest (for April) since the commencement of records in 1979.

[Blogengezer]

17 Jan 2008 BA B777 crash landed short of the runway at Londons Heathrow airport after a long flight over the North pole (which is routine). Record low Temp -87 celsius sustained, created ice, parafin crystals in fuel. "25 years of flying that route never experienced such drastic low temps", Pilots. As is said, 'stay current'. Alarmist's, take note.

[yadsik]

Colder temperatures can ironically be linked to global warming.

[singlevietboi]

i believe that there is no global warming since the ice melts and goes back to ice during winter

[yadsik]

However each summer it retreats back further than the year before. At least half way down Hudson bay there lives a large polar bear population which had survived on the ice there for thousands of years, now there is none to speak of.

[piergiorgiovico]

many interesting your video,it's a very big problem! you can to see other video for a good diffusion of this problem.saluti and compliment! ciao piergiorgio

[donlightbody]

Do research, it's been shown the Earth's temp goes up, and it goes down. remember them ice ages? How about when Denver was a tropical climate?

[gsm0518]

the "theory"...

[natural]

very cool. does that prove or disprove the theory of global warming? anyone know?

[Fringe111]

If you aren't convinced now then I worry about the people who won't take this seriously

[imaseraph]

This proves it.

[malasurte]

neither, it shows the differneces (Back and forth) that come with the seasons for it to prove or disprove it takes years of footage to show how the average for each season changes (proves) or stays the same (disproves).

Two years just shows it receding in the summer and advancing in the winter

[sonikalkemy]
