  • The western Antarctic sheets are thickening. The world has cooled for the last 11 years. Read the NIPCC report. It is non political science.

  • The western Antarctic sheets are thickening. The world has cooled for the las 11 years. Read the NIPCC report. IT's much better science than the politicized IPCC AR4.

  • I don't know if any of you remember scientists telling us we were entering a catastrophic ice age 40 years ago, but that turned out to be a load of crap.

    The Evidence is clear, rise in CO2 in the atmosphere FOLLOWS temperature rise. The earth's climate rises first and CO2 follows, not the other way around. Where there is a direct correlation though, is in sun activity and temperature rise.

    Co2 makes up only 0.54% of greenhouse gases, and could not possibly affect the earth's temp.

  • Their justification for the fact that humans are responsible for climate change is that a woman sitting on a bench (who is not given any credentials) says that "all scientists think that humans are responsible for climate change." First of all this is simply not true. Second of all, consensus does not prove anything. Thirdly, who the hell is that woman?

    Also none of the actual scientists in this clip went into even a small amount of detail about how humans are causing global warming.

  • global warming is the left's version of the iraq war for the neocons... simple as that

  • Of course the video neglects to mention the "other" pole down south where the ice sheild is rapidly thickenning.

  • antarctica is a nearly symetrical continent centered around the south pole. It is a bit removed from the circulation of the rest of the southern hemispheric atmosphere due to it being surrounded by ocean.

    Antatrctica is only cooling in a few small percentage of areas of the continent. The ice is increasing in various places only because of the cool air moving across warmer ocean waters causing ocean effect snows much like how the lake effect snows across the great lakes.

  • Thanks operatiopnalmeteorolo for the geography lesson, but I'm well aware of the location of Antarctica. I also notice how you have failed to mention other relevant possibilities for areas of ice melting there.

    Scientists have discovered a layer of volcanic ash and glass shards in Antarctica, evidence of an old eruption by a still active volcano that researchers believe may be contributing to the thinning of Antarctic glacial ice......(cont)..

  • Hugh F.J. Corr and David G. Vaughan, two scientists with the British Antarctic Survey, recently published their discovery of the volcanic layer in the journal Nature Geoscience. The discovery is unique according to Dr. Vaughan. He said "This is the first time we have seen a volcano beneath the ice sheet punch a hole through the ice sheet."

    The volcano's heat could possibly be melting and thinning the ice and raising the speed of the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica.

    Go figure.

  • Peer-reviewed :

    Showing scientific inaccuracies in "An Inconvenient Truth." From abstract :

    "....the movie misrepresents as clear examples of the human influence on climate. .... The real inconvenient truth is that science has no idea how much of recent warming is natural versus the result of human activities."

    An Inconvenient Truth : blurring the lines between science and science fiction

  • well every people should be aware of whats happening on our nature today even though due to the modernization, we could not avoid it hence we could prevent it. there should be a serious campaign in every single country because this is humans concern.
