Climate changes! That is what it does. We tend to view events from the point of view of what we have experienced in our life time. The Earth has been here about 4.5 Billion years. From what I have read, there have been warmer periods and cooler periods. Our current warming is good. If it gets warmer by say 2 degrees, then we can feed about 2 Billion more people. If it gets colder by 2 degrees we will lose a lot of people to cold. Global warming is not a concern - really!
A very dangerous situation....for humanity. He didn't mention the albedo. As ice melts it exposes water...much darker, that absorbs 80% of the sun's energy, instead of reflecting 80% like ice does. This is a positive feedback loop..there are six others, all threatening to "flip" the earth system into a much more extreme regime. It's happened before of course, but when it has, modern civilization wasn't here. Natural rhythms of the planet can not explain climate change.
Of course they don't use any records earlier than the satellite records because it would not show what they want. But then 2009-2010 comes along and it's approaching the 1979-2006 average again, I guess it will be called it Arctic Ice "Change". LOL
Guess the "scientist" was wrong, because the sea ice is recovering. Another bogus theory bites the dust, but of course that won't stop these guys, and don't expect the mainstream media to say a word about it.
I mean on average the planet has been a lot colder than it has been in the last few thousand years. I bet another natural ice age would cause more damage than anthropogenic global warming.
GAIA will slowly turn off humanity's fresh water supplies through drought , glacial melt, etc to protect her life sustaining biodiversity from the foolish,ignorant ,greedy primates that are ignoring her ample warnings.
I hope you sheeple realize that this global climate change has nothing to do with human behavior. The Sun is going through a sun spot phase, which is completely natural, and is heating up. Thus melting the ice. We are actually coming out of a cold era. Not sure if any of you remember the Mini Ice Age is Europe some 200 years ago, give or take.
Do your own research. Don't rely on disinfo agencies like NASA. If people really knew what NASA's top priorities are, there would be a revolution tonight.
how about you educate yourself, dumb ass. yes, global temperature undulates naturally, but man's carbon output has done nothing but increased the rate of changing temperatures.
2% is still an increase. 2% is still 2% more than what was emitted in say the 16th century when the impact wasn't as severe. I know the amount is small, but it is clearly significant enough to create global temperature changes.
ibettershakethis-The 2% is not an "increase" - that is our contribution to CO2 emissions, period. 98% is produced by natural processes. Since man has always burned things for energy, it's difficult to see how the last century changed anything. We switched from horses and oxen to cars, etc. Horses and oxen produce more methane, which is even worse.
Again, we produce more CO2 (by necessity) when it's cold. But global warming advocates want it colder, not warmer? You oppose yourselves.
@ibettershakethis How about you do some more investigating how NASA and NOAA collect and manipulate their data? Bolivia hasn't been reporting for 20 years, so how do they get the numbers for Bolivia? (Answer: From Peru) What about the Northwest Territories? They do the same thing - get the numbers from someplace - warmer! This isn't science. The temps have not gone up; they are cooking the books.

i know the effects on the world from the northern ice melting would be bad, it would screw up sea curents everywhere, and change the weather drastically-
but the reall bad one is the south pole-
since that ice is not displacing any water, it's on land, so when that melts...
the sea will rise-
that would mean our rivers polluted with salt and lands will be lost displacing people in large numbers.
thats very very bad for everyone, a horror story for the earth
Klassentrottel-You are right; apparently the doom and gloomers would prefer to ignore that NASA reports also that it is larger than ever before. They are also ignoring the fact that there are undersea volcanoes contributing to the melting at the North Pole
The thing is, Antarctica is constantly growing and receding so it is illogical to make generalizations about its growth pattern. Sure it may be large now, but it will melt to a designated set-point.
OK, it is melting, there will be changes in current and climate patterns. So... let`s get ready.

There is no better place for the money to be spent if it is going to enhance weather and climate prediction. Because of NASA etc., everyone knows the Arctic sea ice is melting. The scientists need to know exactly how much and how fast it melts.
To know? What for? To know how much, how fast and exactly where. That's what for. The more poleward, the greater the changes due to climate change. The ice mass on Greenland an other arctic glaciers need to be measured as frequently and accurately as possible. They are predicted to be the most likely melt first and are doing so. That's why.
HA HA...to know when the "dooms day" is coming, instead taking action. Smart. Yes.
I remember first climate change modeling with use of SUPER COMPUTERS, fun times. They predicted temperature rise, ocean level rise, world hunger and chaos by "now".

They say here that Antartica has been expanding over the last 30 years as a result of warmer ocean water which leads to evaporation and an increase in snow fall.
So expanding ice is a result of CO2. Give me a break!
If you cannot see that NASA has an agenda and completely one sided view, then I don´t know what to say.
clearly you dont get it. C02 traps more heat the more moister the more heavy snow fall it snow in kenya 2 months ago artic penguins washing up on brazil
I don't think you have ever seen a globe. Most of the land mass, industrialization, population etc. is in the northern hemisphere. Hemispheric atmosphere stops at the equator.
Ocean currents keep right on going from North to South and vice versa. That will transport heat from the North to the South. This means both hemispheres will warm up with time.
LoL , they keep saying " the earth is in danger ! " well no... the human race is in danger x) , the earth is in perfect health . we gonna live another ice age , that's all :D
Wow. Looking at the long term time lapse is amazing- It really dwindles and alternates all the time. Though it looks grim, hopefully new solutions will present themselves as technology gets more advanced.. or at least I hope. Very interesting.
I'm NOT to blame 4 the pollution in this world. Why don't the magnates & the Rulers in the world take thei're SOLE responsibility for pollution ? Instead of blaming the little man ?
It's not ME manufacturing polluting cars & industry. If they can't stop that I c NO reason why I would stop using my CO2 factory.
Do u think the oil industry is going to let us buy efficient electric or hydrogen cars for a better price than gasoline & diesel cars ?
I hope you're right that they're lying. but there is nothing to lose if we believe in it. and besides, you're not a scientist. and neither do I. so believing this could probably save us(if global warming is true) from mass extinction, or if its not then we can still be save from ozone depletion and pollution. and please, tell me a good reason why would they lie.
*Sigh* Watch the docuementary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" We are just going through a cycle, a mini ice age, like in the 17th century. And real mature, to sit behind your computer far away and insult people.
Man, I really dont care if its true or not. Scientist around the globe says this problem and if it was just a lie from the government, not all the country will believe in this. ozone layer is depleting too, do you believe that carbon dioxide or pollution kills the earth and people one by one? if you do, then you might think this is a serious thing. global warming is just the Major problem, but its not the only one. and btw, its just a docu, they're not scientist, duh! ~_~
ok they do, but sir, US is the biggest polution. Why u think they dont want to do the agreement about polution??? not to mention some other country who realy dont want u to know how much dirt they flush down ...
I have to react in my history a little, because i said: ..to kick 'everyone' of the planet, but I mean only those who dont realy give a shotty about it and 4 those who realy care can stay, thats including me! :)
why don't we use ur idea but instead of using a machine that consume oil, they create one can use that solar energy that the polar ice bounce back to the space?, hahaha i just made your idea a green idea...
Ok why we can`t make some kind of device that will produce ice and try to stop this process or at least slow it until it recover from this. Its not easy but I think that if we don`t do something like that we will suffer a lot.
RazulLD - you want more ice? More snow? What do snow plows and blowers produce when they have to clean off the roads so you can drive on them? What do you produce when you have to heat your house? If you want global cooling, it will force us to produce more CO2 to keep warm.
Could it be that A change in The Gravitational Fields in our solar system has been altered.
This would Include the The Gravity Wells Of Each Major Mass Of Solid Or Gas. If Something New Came Into The Picture It Would Change A Lot. From One Perspective (Humans) But Little In A Universal Perspective.
É por isto que há tissunâmes e etc...,devemos reflorestar o planeta e reduzir de forma drástica a poluição,começando pelos paízes desenvolvidos,usando carros híbridos e energia heólica,e quem sabe reflorestando tudo que possível,conseguiremos amenisar o efeito estufa,e por milagre recuperarmos a sutil camada de Ozônio...DEUS nos faça entender assim...
... Because you're a selfish individualist, whose ego has been trained by mass consumerism to act exactly as you do. You might not care, but I do, and I'm just one guy who is here to offset you.
PS: The tectonic plates don't move that fast to adapt. The actual point your positing is apparently flawed. I mean, really. Don't shrug off climate change: it's apparent you haven't read enough.
How 'bout we all just chill? (sorry, had to) I'll guess we'll have to put a REALLY BIG tin foil hats over our caps for a couple of years to get some of that perennial ice back.
Global Warming is a lie. If you believe in global warming, then you think carbon dioxide is bad. Plants need carbon dioxide to breathe so that they can give us oxygen!!!! The governments lies to us all the time. The ice is increasing. The earth got warmer by 0.60 Celcius in the 20th century, and now that's been squashed in the lat 10 years by going down by 0.63 Celcius. Where's your global warming now?
There was a spineless little 'vermin' sending me a message. But he did it privately. I want to share this message with u guys. And ten I'll answer it .

johnson1781:
I see you don't believe in God
I read a silly little comment of yours on Sea Ice 2008. What ammuses me is that your so "unfraid" of believing, and you mock christians for being afraid of not believing in God.
However, you show how scared you really are of Human Induced Climate Change by pinning your hopes to some absurdist belief that the crusts are warming up? I havn't read such stupidity in along time.
Let me deal you some cold, hard facts ...
Carbon Dioxide absords strongly in the infrared and near-infrared light spectrum (i.e. Sun Rays) making it a greenhouse gas. Yes, ok, you've pointed out how plants breathe it in but have you
:( i don;t think my children or gran'children will exist....and if they will...those time will be extremely hard...we must adapt to the emvoirement or extinct
okay everyone just stop blamming china and america for polluting are world. Yes they have a part in these trends but there part in the melting of the polls is minimal. They major contributer of these results are the less clouds the poles are getting. Are planet is warming up just like it did in the time of the dinosaurs. Even in mars we can see that the atmosphere over there is warming up just as much as ours. So please stop putting the blame on others.
We're all gonna die. It's all your fault for eating hamburgers, watching American Idol and driving cars. Send all your money to Al Gore and maybe he can save us.
Ever hear of Planet X? Some say it is entering our orbit again, and when it gets close to us, it will cause drastic changes on earth, earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, and warming of the atmosphere. all of which is currently taking place. It on a vertical orbit, as compared to earth, it comes in our solar system every 6000 years or so. it orbits around 2 stars. Nasa knows many people all over earth will die because of this.
Wow, there is a polar Ice Cap on Jupiter! I didn't know that, you must be an expert in extraterrestrial climatology. I mean you must obviously know what is behind this "shrinking" of ice caps, as all data points to the fact that the average solar output has not increased within recent history.
Another theory is the sun is just heating up, which we have no control of anyway.
I am using the information from other astronomers and scientists. If you really think NASA would never lie to us, think again. Get with the program. Our government lies to us all the time.
Polar caps of all the planets and moons, are melting, and no humans inhabit those places.
yea i heard about Planet X and stuff. called Nibiru and has an elliptical orbit of 3600 years but i dont really believe in it. it just doesnt make sense when you think about it. i believe that its just global warming. i highly doubt that the sin is gettin any hotter too. dont star get colder the more they live? they might get bigger but i dont think they get hotter.
So I guess all of the appearance of all the greenhouse gases are either made up or just doesn't do anything does it? Then do us a favor and block out the sun with your thumb and let the earth cool down a bit. Thanks
Again, the solar output has not increased substantially in recent geological history. But, don't take the word of someone with an actual degree in physics. Go ahead and believe whatever John Stossel tells you to. We wouldn't want to actually listen to Science. Those "theories," or rather hypothesizes you are referring to have been proven not to be the case by Solar researchers armed with new instrumentation such as STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory)have made this case.
I know, my point was that if the Russian tundra melts we are in BIG trouble. As for cow farts, they actually generate 18% of world's global warming pollution - and why? Well, as population grows we need more cattle to feed us.
There is NOT more ice on the South Pole! What is happening is that the edges are melting and breaking off, but as the climate gets warmer more precipitation falls, so you do get some accumulation in the middle of the continent. The overall trend is an alarming amount of melt.
Even more alarming, as the ice melts up north, huge amounts of Methane gas are starting to escape (previously trapped under water and in Tundra). If this reaches a tipping point humans may not be ABLE to do anything.
I'm only 99.9999999% American, but I was 100% in your moms vagina last night! Sorry, to those who wanted to have a intellectually informed discussion about climate change, but those who post half witted insults expect nothing more than that as a response.
n33oh your an idiot, i know people with Asian, British, Mexican and many other countries/continents. Ive seen people that are born and 100% American but there name is from there background from their family. Just because they have a weird name doesn't make them a terrorist. This is why you dumb rednecks need to go back to school and stop complaining about people on your lawn.
theres no need to return to the moon. all the information they needed was collected. they don't do journeys soley for the entertainment of the astronauts.
this process has happened repeatedly thru geological history. what were the cavemen doing to warm the planet?what about the dinos? did fred flinstone dismiss emission controls on the car?this stuff has,is, and will happen.
the stupid american industry and life-style endanger the whole earth. would some country to attack them? (as they use to do it with other countries?) :-))))))
Do u guys really think that humans made this climate change ?
U know, that 1 volcano eruption spews out as much carbon dioxide as all the cars on earth for a whole year.
(It's that gas plants 'breathe'.)
There r another thing wich seem to b forgotten here. The Earth is EVER changing.
I believe the crust is changing under the sea. Thus changing the flow of water currents. And in that way raising the temperature of water in other places than before. Say at the Arctic.
science is so far behind from what it should have been if religion dogmas and monotheistic fundamentalism, would not have had been so wide spread, that it seems science is kind of guessing.
I mean, on a weekly basis almost, science keeps of changing the perspective on "Oh, coffee is good for you" "Oh, no, coffee is bad for you".
What can we expect to be accomplished on such complex issues??
The price humanity will pay for its stupidity will be too high as such.

There is no global warming problem. Can't you people tell this is COMPUTER GRAPHICS? Ie, fake! The answer is to drill for more oil and drill as much as we can! Oil works and oil is proven technology. Solar, wind, all unproven.
Obama and his liberal sissy hippy friends will be the death of the United States and the planet! Plus his name rhymes with Osama, does that name ring a bell? Think it's just a coincidence? THINK about it! Osama & 9/11!
and 2 million people still die each year cause of air pollution. wind and solar power is unproven? where do you live? 20% of the energy in denmark comes from wind turbines.
and obama is one of the many names in this world. some serial killer is called george. oh no, george bush is also george.

This is just stupid propaganda by liberals and hippies. This is FAKE, you can totally tell that it's computer graphics. I'm sick of all the liberal hippies scaring people with global warming BS. It's not real ppl, it's just their agenda. Drive as much as you want and buy SUV's, there's plenty of oil and no such thing as global warming.
Go McCain/Palin 2008! We need to drill for more oil! Oil is the answer, don't let liberal hippies trick you. Renewable energy is for liberal sissies.
El calentamiento global es de lo más preocupante. Da miedo contemplar cómo nuestro planeta se deteriora. El hielo se contrae, la tierra es conducida hacia los límites. Muchos científicos estan preocupados. Y las medidas que tengamos que implementar para frenar esto, es seguro que no sean de nuestro agrado: la cuota de sacrificio será grande.
I find it laughable that anybody, including a scientist, thinks that they have the foggiest notion of what is "normal" based upon 30 years of observation of a multi million year process and cycle. The Earth has undergone much more dramatic events than the arctic ice melting; it can sustain much more than we could ever imagine or give it credit for. Dont be swayed by the scare tactics of these false prophets of doom and gloom.
Im not trying to 'sway' you into believing anything. Im simply advising you to do some independent thinking and come to your own conclusions on this subject based upon all of the facts. People have opinions of this matter ranging from it being a disaster to it not mattering at all. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle, but the fact is nobody knows for certain, so why does anybody pretend to know?
in your lifetime do you want your children to see the fish in the water we have today? because when your children grow up, they wont be able to see the fish we can see, they wont be able to touch animals such as polar bears and crustaceans, do you want them to suffer in a world that is heating up by the minute?

I don't think you have ever seen a globe. Most of the land mass, industrialization, population etc. is in the northern hemisphere. Hemispheric atmosphere stops at the equator.
Ocean currents keep right on going from North to South and vice versa. That will transport heat from the North to the South. This means both hemispheres will warm up with time.

I'm NOT to blame 4 the pollution in this world. Why don't the magnates & the Rulers in the world take thei're SOLE responsibility for pollution ? Instead of blaming the little man ?
It's not ME manufacturing polluting cars & industry. If they can't stop that I c NO reason why I would stop using my CO2 factory.
Do u think the oil industry is going to let us buy efficient electric or hydrogen cars for a better price than gasoline & diesel cars ?

I hope you're right that they're lying. but there is nothing to lose if we believe in it. and besides, you're not a scientist. and neither do I. so believing this could probably save us(if global warming is true) from mass extinction, or if its not then we can still be save from ozone depletion and pollution. and please, tell me a good reason why would they lie.

Man, I really dont care if its true or not. Scientist around the globe says this problem and if it was just a lie from the government, not all the country will believe in this. ozone layer is depleting too, do you believe that carbon dioxide or pollution kills the earth and people one by one? if you do, then you might think this is a serious thing. global warming is just the Major problem, but its not the only one. and btw, its just a docu, they're not scientist, duh! ~_~

And more of what CO2 does. I don't disagree with that, BUT I didn't say the CRUST is warming up.
I said. "The Earth is EVER changing". Crust is moving.
If the crust=Tectonic plates, R moving, it could create new ways for the under water currents. Warming the polar waters, so ice melts.

I don't know for sure, but I can speculate.
Ever hear of Planet X? Some say it is entering our orbit again, and when it gets close to us, it will cause drastic changes on earth, earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, and warming of the atmosphere. all of which is currently taking place. It on a vertical orbit, as compared to earth, it comes in our solar system every 6000 years or so. it orbits around 2 stars. Nasa knows many people all over earth will die because of this.
TheConstitutionMan 3 years ago
Wow, there is a polar Ice Cap on Jupiter! I didn't know that, you must be an expert in extraterrestrial climatology. I mean you must obviously know what is behind this "shrinking" of ice caps, as all data points to the fact that the average solar output has not increased within recent history.
Eaacker 3 years ago
Another theory is the sun is just heating up, which we have no control of anyway.
I am using the information from other astronomers and scientists. If you really think NASA would never lie to us, think again. Get with the program. Our government lies to us all the time.
Polar caps of all the planets and moons, are melting, and no humans inhabit those places.

yea i heard about Planet X and stuff. called Nibiru and has an elliptical orbit of 3600 years but i dont really believe in it. it just doesnt make sense when you think about it. i believe that its just global warming. i highly doubt that the sin is gettin any hotter too. dont star get colder the more they live? they might get bigger but i dont think they get hotter.

Again, the solar output has not increased substantially in recent geological history. But, don't take the word of someone with an actual degree in physics. Go ahead and believe whatever John Stossel tells you to. We wouldn't want to actually listen to Science. Those "theories," or rather hypothesizes you are referring to have been proven not to be the case by Solar researchers armed with new instrumentation such as STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory)have made this case.

ipodjunkie144 3 years ago
There is NOT more ice on the South Pole! What is happening is that the edges are melting and breaking off, but as the climate gets warmer more precipitation falls, so you do get some accumulation in the middle of the continent. The overall trend is an alarming amount of melt.
Even more alarming, as the ice melts up north, huge amounts of Methane gas are starting to escape (previously trapped under water and in Tundra). If this reaches a tipping point humans may not be ABLE to do anything.
