a sincere word

Walter N. Meier is a research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, CIRES. He is just one of many conscientious and concerned scientists tracking the progress of climate change. Meier spoke at the recent conference of the Association of Science and Technology Centers in Philadelphia.

I have an incredible urge to punch the screen!

punching the screen will not help. preparing for potential sea level rise might.

We need more scientist speaking to the public and less Al Gore's. Everytime I make a comment about GCC all I ever hear in reply is how Al Gore flies private jets and uses more energy in a week than an average home uses in a year.

[videochick770]

I totally agree.

In environmental news, scientists say theyve found new evidence the Arctic is warming far faster than previously anticipated. The US National Snow and Ice Center says temperatures recorded today werent expected for another ten to fifteen years. Researchers say autumn temperatures were higher because of the heat accumulation from increased melting in the summer. The process, known as Arctic amplification, could signify Arctic melting has hit a point of no return.

thanks for this comment. the conservative projections are referred to in this clip, but Meier's full talk referred also to these increased effects.

@Aaron518 the idiots that say that are usually beyond help, fox news is their only source of (mis)information. They tend to be people that take things on faith, and they distrust facts as a rule.

You should have asked him about the growing Antarctic ice too.

There is no danger of Florida sinking into the ocean anytime soon.

i totally disagree. my dad is a scientist and is absolutly hopeless at any sort of communication with other people unless numbers are involved. al gore is a skilled communicator (ex politician, ex journalist) who has a passion for science and has taken on the role of spokesman for scientists who study climate change. most scientist would not be able to communicate in a way that would appeal to media, so no one would listen.

Ummm shouldn't of it by now? According to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth film, we should be in dire need of an enema by now. My parents live right on the coast, they have been there for 25 years. Only about 5 feet of elevation from the sea. Their house still stands and will be for many many years. Never has it flooded even through the worst storms. I'm just wondering what they are going to do when nothing happens?
