Al Gore: ?Polar ice cap could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years.?
The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ?The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,? he said. ?It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.?
Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change. But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession ? with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-FREE-now.html

Someone better tell Scandinavia, northern Europe, Russia and China to scrap their plans for summer northern shipping routes.

Well, the timespan is anyways skewed, as the projections are about tens of years, but as we are talking about summer conditions.
"Ice has continued to break up in the Kara Sea where it has been slow to melt out this summer. Nevertheless, air temperatures in the Kara Sea remain lower than average by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius (4 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit). As of mid-August, sea ice extent remains on track to end up somewhere between the sixth and the tenth lowest sea ice minimum." "Visible satellite imagery from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reveal a diffuse ice cover in the Beaufort Sea, as well as in areas of the Laptev and East Siberian seas. Despite low ice concentrations, ice extent is right at the long-term average for the region, in stark contrast to 2012 when the ice edge had already retreated to north of 75 degrees latitude. Ice remains extensive in the Northwest Passage through the channels of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. On the Eurasian side, the Northern Sea Route is mostly open except that some ice still blocks Vilkitsky Strait, the narrow strait between the Siberian coast and the islands of Severnya Zemlya separating the Kara and Laptev seas." http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ So, summing up, it has been quite warm, but because of other factors, the ice hasn't melted that much. |

Here's another failed climate catastrophe prediction from yet another chicken-little alarmist:
The list of these failed predictions is quite long and growing longer by the day. These alarmists are nothing more than the modern day version of the guys who used to stand on the street corners claiming "the end is near". . |

I didn't snub the article from Nasa. I read the whole thing. Nothing in that article was particularly convincing. It was just about yet another study of something that may or may not happen, that may or may not be caused by man, that may or may not cause global catastrophe. In ten years it too may or may not be added to the list of failed predictions. I don't know about you but I for one am rather fatigued from the constant alarmism trotted out by government agencies, the media and all of their eager acolytes in the public sphere. As for Al Gore - he is no longer a politician. He is an advocate of alarmism and a lobbyist. As such he deserves any and all criticism that is valid. As the snake-oil salesman that he is that is a lot of criticism. . |

As usual 99% of scientists except climate change, some oil and coal lobbists put out false disinformation. The uneducated belief them.

but ill take your expert opinion on the matter. NASA is making 'alarmist' predictions regarding ice shelfs' that are actually collapsing, and will continue doing so over the next 100 years, raising the sea levels and estimated 15 feet? How would you rather the data be stated? btw, this was released about 7 hours ago: http://www.theguardian.com/environme...ecedented-rate

And according to these guys http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ The ones that actually measure the ice and keep track of it the ice level. Although better than it was in the last few years it is still well below average. BUT the Antarctic Ice seems to be doing much better this year though... its all back and fourth-push and pull-this and that... because its the weather... the only way the truth will ever be known is to just wait and see how it all unfolds in the future... |

I'm quite sure 100% of them "accept" climate changes. The Grand Canyon was created by glaciers after all.

Another basic problem is that the changes that are occuring are happening too slow for many people to notice them. We forget about all the fires in Texas and California last year, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy but fail to make the connection that warmer oceans cause stronger storms and more flooding. People dismiss life in the arctic and antarctic because it is too far away, and or don't understand the differences in the types of ice, or fail to realize that its the length of the thaw, not just the amount of ice, that is an indicator of the problem. There are also still idiots out there, even idiots in office and that should know better, that think weather is the same as climate. It's ridiculous when someone disagrees with NASA and NOAA and promotes his lack of science illeteracy like its a badge of honour, especially when there is so much information available at at the click of a mouse. It's even worse when people believe that person.

I am not expert about Grand Canyon, but based on Wikipedia it's not made by glaciers. It is also a bit too south for that. Also, usually glaciers smooth landscape. |

CO2 has risen dramatically in the atmosphere. Glaciers the world over are melting. Check just about any major permanent ice formation and look at it over time. This will take you 30 seconds and you will see a change. One that has happened in the last hundred years were as glaciers are pretty static by human standards. Check ocean levels or temerature levels or anything and you will see the same thing repeated over and over. Do we need to do something? Nope, the rush is not there yet. But why deny it just to deny? |

Climate has been changing on this planet as long as it's existed. Humans need to adapt to the changes - the Al Gore's lying their asses off don't help. We will change without the hysterics of these people, every time one of these catastrophic predictions doesn't come to fruition it undermines what real scientists have to say.
And for people living on islands and coastal areas where the sea level is rising - migrate/move inland the way people have for a hundred thousand years.

Antarctic 'Grand Canyon' Carved by Glaciers http://www.livescience.com/42684-ant...iscovered.html "Later the canyon was blocked three different times by glaciers. Each time these glaciers formed lakes, which filled with sand and gravel. Floods from the melting glaciers at the end of each glacial period recarved the canyon, deepened it, and removed most of the sand and gravel." http://mms.nps.gov/yell/features/canyontour/ More examples, Greenland isn't named that because it's covered in ice and Iceland isn't named that because it isn't.

The first link shows that glaciers do carve into the Earth, even deeper I might add. The second link shows that the National park service states themselves glaciers traveled through the Grand Canyon. Take a bowl of water and throw it at a window and then take a bowl of ice and see which does more damage. A good portion of it was I would say. That glaciers were traveling that far "south" is beyond most people's conception, including yours admittedly, and really doesn't fit into today's global warming agenda "science."

http://mms.nps.gov/yell/features/canyontour/ Based on that floods carved the canyon. Also, I checked glacial map about Europe and made some conclusions based on that. Now that I looked map about North-America, it's not that different regarding latitudes. Also, how glaciers that south has anything to do with some "global warming agenda" (that is actually about human induced climate change)? |

You're assuming that they didn't have a map beforehand. We are talking about a time when people were told the World was flat so they wouldn't wander off and discover it wasn't whereas those few with access to the knowledge knew otherwise.

Also, I don't think that they teached that the edge starts right after the lord's lands. The people were not that stupid. And to where the people would have gone? I mean, there were lords everywhere, if you mean escaping them. To some never never land? Also, based on the "Great migration", some people did actually migrate, but not because their lord forgot to warn about the edge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period |

You haven't made a reasonable point as to why the tale was told. It was in fact a "fictional tale" because scholars had access to information that told them otherwaise long before it became common knowldge to the common folk.

There were already people on the North American continent thousands of years before. The Vikings or Columbus which ever you wish to believe didn't in all actuality discover anything. Who did first is in itself up in the air. Either way I'd venture to say neither of them sailed out without knowing what they were looking for.
