"The most recent period when CO2 levels were as high as today was around 15 million years ago, during the Middle Miocene. CO2 levels were at about 400 ppm.
"What was the climate like at the time? Global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today.

"Sea level was approximately 75 to 120 feet higher. There was no permanent sea ice cap in the Arctic and very little ice on Antarctica and Greenland. "

lol, someone gives a thumbs down to reports from Arctic ROOS that arctic ice is greater now than in 2007, like that's a bad thing.

"The total ice area in the Arctic reached its 2009 minimum on September 12, 2009 with approximately 4.5 mill sq. km. This is approximately 10 days earlier and almost 1 mill sq km. more than the record minimum of 2007. Compared to the minimum of 2008, this years total ice area minimum is ca. 700,000 mill. sq. km. higher."

Arctic Regional Ocean Observing System (Arctic ROOS) has been established by a group of 14 member institutions from nine European countries.

All but one of the video image series ends in 2007--the worse year for arctic ice, and the one exception ends in summer 2008, so it doesn't show the arctic ice expansion of close to 1 million square kilometers since 2007.

This winter, 2009/2010, will have an even greater expansion of arctic ice, so I hope NASA makes an updated video next spring.

Since Al Gore, the corporate new media, NPR, BBC and scientists tied up in the CO2 and Climate Change agenda won't give you both sides of the story, why not take a look for yourself?

Scientists are being bullied to climb on board or risk ridicule and loss of funding, but there are many who are speaking up.

Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief.

volcanic activity, over the eons, have spewed massive amounts of toxic gas into the atmosphere. but if you think Man isnt screwing up the environment, you're clearly wrong. i guess we'll have to wake up one day and notice the amphibians and most other mammals have disappeared before FOX News concludes we might have a problem.

Man's pollution is a serious problem, and it's important to work to reduce pollution and increase energy efficiency.

But the CO2 and climate change/global warming agenda is a scam.

The carbon tax is a tax on life itself, and benefits no one except the governments and global bankers who will collect it.

Carbon credits trading will have no effect on the climate, but will enrich the individuals and global corporations who trade in them and have a negative impact on the economies of the world.

At 1:22 "... in 2009 ... for the first time we were able to figure out what the thickness of the ice was all over the place and what we are finding is it is thinner now ..."

How can they find out it is thinner now when they could not even tell what the thickness was before.
