Part two of my reply:

The scare stories hinge on whether ice sheets will lose traction and skate into the sea if the ice around the edges disappears, but there's no evidence of a problem currently. The glacier moving three times faster than any other in Antarctica happens to be one perched atop a volcano, so you can't extrapolate it out as typical of the ice continent.

[iwishart]

CIRESTodd, no one denies the West Antarctic has warmed, and indeed I make the point in the video. You are setting up a strawman.

West Antarctica is a small portion of the continent - the rest is getting cooler. Only ice on the edges vulnerable to warmer oceans currents is melting, but the extra evaporation is being re-dumped as snow and compacting to ice, so the net loss is not the same as the amount originally melted.

@iwishart ...and for every negative feedback there are some very ominous positive ones for example, methane release from tundra swamps, co2 release from warmer ocean floors and reduced albedo from smaller global ice caps. None of this refutes the theory that man-made co2 is a root cause of GW.

[iwishart]

@potter1s Get over yourself, Potter...and read the book...the scientific basis for all of this is clearly listed in Air Con, including links to the peer reviewed literature.

Belief is irrelevant...both yours and mine...facts are facts.

Okay , joined Sierrea Club in "71" & Green Peace in "79" it does not make me an expert. But I learned a lot and live a Green Life. Honestly this video makes more sense and now that its been revealed that Data has been altered for 40yrs. Also , it kinda wierds me out that the UN & Sen Boxer (US) Only want to investigate the Whistle Blowers. That kinda sends up "red flags" with me. Don't trust the UN or Senators , they are only for themselves and their PocketBooks

@GreenMonarchsFC Every video has an agenda. Al Gore is a money loveing rich bastard who makes a living off of fear. I'm not sure on this guy yet but i'm sure it's something. Now do i belive in global warming? I'm undecided, interestingly enough though I enjoy arguing with global warming fanatics who refuse to see that there has yet to be significant facts to prove the theory and upcoming appocolypse that global warming theorists often predict.

[FuckFaceMcGee02]

very interesting. People like this show that there is a real debate, and that skeptics shouldn't be readily dismissed. While I may not necessarily agree with him, I believe that he provides legitimate information. I have read his book, it is well argued. Something to think about.

Suggest you educate yourself with a great series from a real journalist who on more than one occasion nails Al Gore

1. Climate Change -- the scientific debate

@GreenMonarchsFC That is part of it true, but that is not the only way lands rise and fall into the ocean. Sea levels DO shift it's a fact, do you debate that during the iceage the sea would have been much much lower do to the amount of ice frozen? Then wouldn't it be logical to think that the current level of the ocean is not what it always has been? That it has probably been both higher and lower? Or are you going to ignore basic common sense?

[pcgamernum1]

@potter1s I bet you are the same type of lame brain jump on the band wagon scientist who would have been right ontop of Global cooling when that was the hot debate. Scientists like you, who refuse to look at ALL of the facts disgust me. Feel free to imagine me spitting at your feet for being a disgrace to scientists everywhere. A real scientist would look into the possibility that what he assumed to be true was wrong instead of immideatly pushing it aside and saying that the 'bite' was plenty.

[GreenMonarchsFC]

Did you catch his reference to lands that were once under the seas? He tried to claim this was due to rising seas over eons. Ever heard of plate tectonics and continental uplift and continental shelfs sliding over / under each other? He tried to slip that one past as another fact. Ha. What a joke,

[GreenMonarchsFC]

This video chooses to ignore the massive melting in the N. Hemisphere. Twisted 'facts' throughout. Throw a british voice on it to give it some sort of sophistication. Anti science. The plot is to discredit, using twisted data. Facts and stats can be obtained to argue any agenda, and that is all this video indeed has -an agenda.

[potter1s]

@mattjoll No I don't think he has. Perhaps this should be filed under Wisharts more general 'antiscience' umbrella. Its a bit crowded though. Wisharts already got Darwin's theory of evolution under there...

[potter1s]

"4 and a half billion years ago Earth experienced its first sunset..." Nice to see Ian has accepted the age of the Earth as revealed by science and the scientific method. Whats next? A reluctant nod to the plausibility of evolution if it helps your arguments against GW theory?
