Dr. Henry N. Pollack, author of A World Without Ice, addresses accusations of climate change as an uncertain theory. "Uncertainty should not lead to policy paralysis," he says. "Uncertainty is part of the world."
-----
It has taken just three centuries for human growth and rising industrial economies to bring the delicate relationship between ice and humans to a dangerous precipice. Ice carved Earth's landscape to its present state - the sharp Alpine peaks of Europe, the vast Great Lakes of North America, the majestic valleys of Yosemite National Park and the deeply incised fjords of Norway.
But as the climate change debate becomes more heated, are we at risk of losing these precious formations? Dr. Henry N. Pollack, author of A World Without Ice, explains why our cold natural wonders are disappearing while humans are prospering. - The Commonwealth Club of California
Dr. Henry N. Pollack and his colleagues on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former vice president Al Gore. Pollack has been a professor of geophysics at the University of Michigan for more than forty years, travels regularly to Antarctica, and has conducted scientific research on all seven continents.
He now serves as a science adviser to Al Gores Climate Project. Also the author of A World Without Ice, he lives in Ann Arbor.

Thank you for this. The creationists believe that God made the earth and therefore it is impossible for human beings to drastically affect it because God is so much greater than human beings. Global warming challenges their worldview in the same way that Galileo saying that the Earth moved around the sun challenged the Christian worldview 400 years ago. It is no wonder that they are screaming to burn climatologists at the stake. they project their own ignorance and hated onto scientists.
I love the 90% sure:) How the fuck do they know about the 90%? Maybe it is 88.59932%? Where the fuck is 90% coming from? CO2 in the atmosphere is a drop in a bucket, human made CO2 in the atmosphere is a piss in an ocean. Those motherfuckers need to show a very convincing argument for this tale in order for me to believe it.
WTF??? But of course the climate is changing, it always has changed, fucking dumbfuck. IPCC is a load of non-scientific bullshit panel. Leading MIT climatologist does not believe that humans are the couse.
Fuck, CO2 is not a pollutant, fucking political bitch.
Climate change is the most natural thing in the world.
NO ONE denies that climate changes, especially the *scientists* who are branded as "deniers".
With all the factors that affect the complex system of global climate climate, to focus on CO2 alone (~1% of greenhouse effect -FACT) is beyond absurdity.
Even the IPCC admits that the most severe CO2 restrictions will affect global temperatures by less than 1/10 of one degree Celsius.
It's not about the environment. It's about CONTROL.
The economic science is not yet in. The jury of economists is still out there, checking these claims of liberal natural scientists. I don't believe those geeks, not even smart enough to make to the top of a powerful company or governmental organization. If these scientists were smart, they would make it to the top and make millions with their knowledge in the free market. I think we should trust bankers, lawyers and congress people.

Large corporations are our friends. Especially those these `leftist progressives' shill for.

Weather on planet earth has always changed.
So now we blame the Co3 we breath out and plants need to live.. yeah.. right..
