Well i think we are soon looking forward to another ice age :P

[terroil]

Perhaps... There is a small chance of having a little ice age in Europe. Yet that one will be rather a short one if the trend continues like it does...

[NitroxideHS]

Who know's.. anyway even if the poles melt its not the end of the world there is some documentery about the real climate changes throug history somewhere here on youtube. I dont belive mutch in the al gore scam tho. But i do think we should plant just as mutch tree´s as we cut down evry year.

"if the poles melt its not the end of the world"

Certainly its not, however, it will bring an end to an era...

"I dont belive mutch in the al gore scam tho."

This has nothing to do with mister Al Gore. This is whats been measured and published in PRJs. One just needs to look a bit around. Besides, combining the Suns minimum with the continuing "change" makes the outlook look simply dim...

[Rocky1990]

So this is why we must instal carbon counting device in everyone's home to check their exact carbon footprint, taxing us to our breath.

Oh boy someone wants our money.

[terroil]

Well, the clever and the "clever" ones will always earn some extra money. Yet when we consider the solar minimum and the continuing climate change, our prospect simply looks quite dim. Drastic measures are required. Imposed top down, since people are "lazy bastards"...

i hate hilary clinton!

[troybrownrigg]

Mrs Clinton wants to get another tax in place on global warming , we'll hurry up and get a carbon tax tomorrow.Just another way to tax the little man.

let's see, the ocean levels have risen about 1,000 feet since 12,000 bc. that's about an inch a year. yep, humans 12,000 years ago account for all that. der... i swear, the global warming cultists are as dumb as a box of rocks. i guess they never heard of something called the sun. wow, what a concept, the sun.

[nationalcitysycho]

YEAH SURE BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! U BITCH HILLARY!!!!

@SentOnFriday It is sea ice, it is already floating. Yes, seriously.

[SentOnFriday]

@bweazel lol, seriously?

@jwang604 You have not understood! My point being is that if rises in temperatures have been going up, then it is a part of nature and cannot be tampered with. Man's tampering with nature can only be destructive. My point here is that global warming is not man made! And besides, you still have not read up on Lord Monckton at all! The causes of global warming may be disputed you say? Well, anything that governments say nowadays are usually all lies! Governments are controlled by financiers!

[jwang604]

@111RobinHood "If there is global warming then it is a natural event going through cycles" this is exactly what I said. Read carefully this time, Global warming is a fact, THE CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING MAY BE DISPUTED. Permafrost thawing, sinkholes developing, sea level rising, Polar meltdown, rise in sea and air temperatures, glaciers melting, the himalayans baring their skins, etc etc etc all points to a rise in Earth's temperature.

[111RobinHood]

@jwang604 I said do some real research! First study everything about Lord Monckton on his findings about scientists deliberately falsifying evidence. If there is global warming then it is a natural event going through cycles. But, there isn't global warming. The summers are getting colder and shorter than anything! I live in Italy and the summers are nowhere as hot as in the past. The carbon tax which governments want to introduce will put billions in starvation and you talk about salvation?

@jwang604 Take your own advice
