ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2009) Large blooms of tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are flourishing in areas of open water left exposed by the recent and rapid melting of ice shelves and glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula. This remarkable colonisation is having a beneficial impact on climate change. As the blooms die back phytoplankton sinks to the sea-bed where it can store carbon for thousands or millions of years. The retreat of glaciers since 1850 affects the availability of fresh water for irrigation and domestic use, mountain recreation, animals and plants that depend on glacier-melt, and in the longer term, the level of the oceans. Studied by glaciologists, the temporal coincidence of glacier retreat with the measured increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases is often cited as an evidentiary underpinning of global warming. Mid-latitude mountain ranges such as the Himalayas, Alps, Rocky Mountains, Cascade Range, and the southern Andes, as well as isolated tropical summits such as Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, are showing some of the largest proportionate glacial loss.(IPCC)(Mlg). It is estimated the total area of extrapolar glaciers will have shrunk from 500,000 to 100,000 km by the year 2350.[1] The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cooler temperatures compared to the present. Subsequently, until about 1940, glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed substantially. Glacial retreat slowed and even reversed temporarily, in many cases, between 1950 and 1980 as a slight global cooling occurred. However, since 1980 a significant global warming has led to glacier retreat becoming increasingly rapid and ubiquitous, so much so that some glaciers have disappeared altogether, and the existence of a great number of the remaining glaciers of the world is threatened. In locations such as the Andes of South America and Himalayas in Asia, the demise of glaciers in these regions will have potential impact on water supplies. The retreat of mountain glaciers, notably in western North America, Asia, the Alps, Indonesia and Africa, and tropical and subtropical regions of South America, has been used to provide qualitative evidence for the rise in global temperatures since the late 19th century.(IPCC2) (NSIDC) The recent substantial retreat and an acceleration of the rate of retreat since 1995 of a number of key outlet glaciers of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, may foreshadow a rise in sea level, having a potentially dramatic effect on coastal regions worldwide.
Poster Comment: Since the majority of the glaciers around the world are undeniably melting, how on Earth is the average temperature of the planet decreasing?

You have your eye off-the-ball by looking at a few sample points. I am always discussing general trends not a single point phenomena.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Yeah, O_I, don't you know that global cooling and blizzards are sure signs of global warming? You better get with the program. ahaha.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. My bad, I didn't think. Of course growing ice sheets, record snow falls and bone chilling temperatures all add up to one thing: Glowbull Warming. How could I have been so silly as to think all of the recorded and quantified evidence of declining temperatures and increasing ice thickness in the arctic and antarctic meant anything other than Holy Global Warming? Excuse me a moment while I light another candle to St. Algore.

People can always cherry pick data. I believe we have some climate change-not sure how much man is responsible but I believe we have some impact. A smoggy day in the LA with convince anyone of that. A friend of the family works for Siemens in China-he has to wear a mask the pollution is so bad that at the endof the day it is black on the outside. He said the sky is always overcast due to the pollution. From the USGS website: A new book from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that 99% of Alaska's large glaciers are retreating, but there are still a handful that are advancing. This is from a USGS press release. Don't get all your climate information from limbaugh or hannity.They skew the facts. RLimbaugh has chnaged his tuneover the years. First he said no gw, then 5-8 years ago he admitted the climate was changing but not due to man and now he is back to no GC whatsoever.
You're excused but please don't let it happen again. You know that when people are staggering around in snow up to their @$$e$ that all that can account for that is warm weather/glowbull warming.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I do not find your strawman attempt to dismiss the data very convincing. The data is what the data is. The actual measurements and observation are the data. A theory is only as good as the data used to support it. GLOWBULL WARMING is only supported by data sets that have been jiggered (as demonstrated in the CRU e-mail dump) and fudged to produce a pre-determined conclusion in alignment with the Global PsyOp. That you are invincibly convinced that, all legitimate evidence to the contrary, that we are warming when all of the legitimate data says we are cooling only speaks to the efficacy of the Propaganda supporting the PsyOP. Of course since Glowbull Warming is actually about Global Control we can expect the Rothschilds/Rockefellers and their Vassals to continue to try to prop up the Glowbull Warming Agenda. In the end Glowbull Warming is about 2 things: Money and Power. Fini.

I don't know if there is global cooling or warming but the climate is changing. Ask any honest farmer without a bias who has been farming for decades and they will tell you the climate is changing. The warm spring now comes too early, farmers start planting and then get hit with frost as late as May. We had frost on May 8th of this year. And the fall comes too soon leaving crops not to mature.

The climate is cyclical. What we had ten years ago is not necessarily relevant, except in the broadest sense, to what we are experiencing today. The climatological record shows great variability over time. The planet has been both much warmer and much cooler in past epochs than what we are experiencing in present time. That is why we track data collected and attempt to extrapolate from current and past readings - to try to get some idea of the overall trend. In the past ten winters at my location I have seen everything from virtually zero snow during the winter to blizzards dropping 18 inches of snow. What is important is what the data actually is, and when people are caught jiggering the data (such as at the Climate Research Unit, CRU, in East Anglia) to support a conclusion the one thing you can conclude immediately is that the actual data did not support the predetermined conclusion.

Yeah, the climate changes. Big whoop, it always has and it's a good thing too. htt p://www.fcpp.org/pdf/FB050ClimateChangeintheRecentPastApr52007.pdf Executive Summary • Rapid climate change is not an unusual phenomenon in our planet’s history. Warmer periods have generally been better for people than cooler ones. The arrival of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) During the 9th and 10th centuries, a warm period arrived in the north Atlantic that made it possible for the Norse population along the overpopulated Norwegian coast to sail and colonize Iceland. Records indicate that in 874 the Vikings took advantage of favourable ice conditions and permanently colonized the island. Earlier, Iceland had always been surrounded by ice, therefore its name. For a few hundred years, Iceland hosted a thriving colony of Norsemen with a mild and stable climate. They survived because it was possible to grow crops and grass to feed sheep. The new settlers from mainland Norway were able to grow various cereals during this mild period, crops that cannot be grown today. That this is not possible today is one of the proofs that the MWP was warmer than now. In the early 13th century, the first signs of climate change arrived, with more ice in the waters surrounding Iceland, which made communication with Norway difficult and risky.

Yeah, I just noticed that a minute ago. That's funny.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. They couldn't sell this nonsense as global WARMING, because it was absurd, so the elite now call it climate change in hopes to recapture the asshats who BELIEVE in CHANGE. When they create terms, then change them because the sales pitch becomes laughable, red flags should be visible to anyone with a brain.
GW is mot a theory to be debated. It is a FACT. Do some original geophysical research beyond your enmity and distaste for AlGore and other politicians attempting to capitalize on the idea.

Geez, now that's a big line of bovine excrement there Bucky. You generally use "general trends" that never clearly demonstrate "man made" global warming. You say, look there are more people and we have more of this or that, but that isn't any kind of scientific determination. You are saying, without any data to back it up, that if you have more of this you get more of that. What folks are asking you for is not more graphs but some sort of scientific data to back up the CORRELATION you continue to make. By the way, there is subtantial data indicating that the earth's poles are moving and have been moving for some time. There is significant data indicating that such movement will cuase climate change. How can you blame a larger population for shifing of the poles, Bucky? Here we have a genuine explanation for the phenomenon you keep blaming on over population. How can we spin this pole shift into a human caused problem?

See my post #10-11. If those graphs don't link generally increasing temperatures and generally increasing human population growth together.... there just isn't anyway I can convince you. But it won't mean I won't continue to try, either.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
The graphs do not make a correlation just because they go together, Bucky. During that same period of time the poles were moving, yet your graph doesn't account for this. During the same time there were major differences in solar flares, yet your graph doesn't account for that. Your graph accounts for increased population and increased temperature and you only see these two events happening simultaneously while omitting ALL other factors. Hence, you claim that indeed A must mean B, but that doesn't make it so. Simply because you have two events happening simultaneously, doesn't mean that one is causing the other to happen. Where is the evidence that the population increase causes the warming? I see your link, but this is not scientific proof of anything other than two events occuring simultaneously, which happens all the time.

If it were a fact then Glowbull Warming When one is practicing science one fits the theory to account for ALL of the evidence - not just the cherry picked and manipulated data which after much fudging appears to fit the predetermined theory. You can huff and puff until you turn blue in the face and it will not affect the true data and the true data does not support the Glowbull Warmining Hypothesis it in fact DISPROVES it. So, I have no idea where you are coming from other than you are unconvinced by facts if the facts do not fit your prejudices. Whatever it is you are pushing one thing it is not is science, and most definitely the Religion of Glowbull Warming is NOT a fact. It is a Global Fraud elevated to prominence by the Power Elite for their own agenda which has nothing whatsoever to do with the well being of the planet's ecosphere.

“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
You are right - it is absurd - a big con job taken up by a few suckers who have been conditioned by the previous big looming catastrophe scares - such as "The Club of Rome's" "Limits To Growth" which predicted worldwide famine and food riots by the late 80's - 20 years ago. They have tried multiple angles to scare the environut crowd into false paths and down rabbit holes - to keep them distracted from the very real environmental problems that are being created by the industries and depredations of the Power Elite. This way they get nicely alarmed and active following paths that lead to more money and power for the Power Elite which funds the environmental movement (and which shares much in common with a bowel movement). So, you rightly point out, that now that the game is exposed they are rapidly trying to cover it with more word and name changes to be fit to the same Global PsyOp. So "Global Warming" (given the mountains of refutory data) becomes "Global Climate Change" a nice vague and meaningless term in the current context because it allows them to morph from the problem of too much warmth to too little and again they can have their crisis. "Yesterday's truth is tomorrow's lie. I imagine that soon Bucky will be warning us of the looming Ice Age (which is actually supported by the recorded data).

Here'a a collection of the big Ice Age scaremongering that was also blamed as "man made" even in the midst of claims that CO2 increases would cause warming.

I am not going to argue about political BS. Many of these scientists have motivation for receiving government grants to further continue their studies. This problem has occurred since the beginning of time when anyone sucks the teat of government. Curve fitting happens all the time within data collection; the goal is not (as you say) to make something up or a predetermined theory. It is to account for variables that may not be understood within the general trends. A good example is El Nina which accounts for recent cooling trends. Still the general trend of global average temperatures are increasing. How? From your NEWSMAX website? Read my posts. And if you don't care to read my posts, don't argue. Here try this series: “Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
That really is an awesome video. Lots of good stuff in there. But really, Buck, what shall be done about compounding humans? Would global regulation make it all better? That's the big solution offered for this global warming scam. Is that what you want? Maybe mandatory neutering would suffice? How about allowing the oncoming famines to take out millions? How about allowing the viruses to take out millions? What do you suggest, Buck?

Thats about eighty minutes of video that was posted, yet you responded in less than ten minutes. Watch the series and then comment and ask me questions. I will be happy to answer questions assuming they are bona-fide and characteristic of a good hearted nature. :)
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Becuase I watched it about six or eight months ago, Buck. I'm a documentary buff. I love that fellow's insights about compounding, completely agrees with Einstein. Applies to all aspects, far beyond population. My questions are good hearted in nature and bona-fide. I agree with much in the video. I also agree the mom nature has been offering population control while man fights it. It's quite a quagmire. Man wants to do something, the more he does the worse the problem becomes. However, contrary to popular belief, man is NOT the center of the universe, but rather a small insignificant speck in this vast universe. Man likes to think he can solve all problems, the he even is so important as to cause all problems, but knowledge of the vastness of the universe really should provide some persepective on significance.......yet it rarely ever does. Einstein also siad we have a massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which we will be aligning with real soon. What do you think the impact of that might be on earth?

Again you resort to Strawman Arguments and Argumentum Ad Hominem attacks. As we both know - I have NEVER listed NewsMax as source for anything I have EVER posted on this board - and that includes the current thread. Your attempt to link my postings of relevant factual information founded upon the actual climate data (not the phonied up data of the CRU) is nothing more than a Red Herring to distract and divert from the FACTS without actually having to go to the labor of actually doing so - which in any event you can't as the data, when not cherry picked and falsified, does not support the Glowbull Warming Hypothesis. Please note the following graphs based on the ACTUAL readings. Note also that temperatures during the Medieval Warm Period were significantly higher than they are now. Further your posted graph proves nothing as the "Little Ice Age" did not end until 1850 and one would expect, reasonably, temperatures to revert to their former levels following the end of COLD period. If one looks at the actual long term data and not just a very limited period cherry picked for effect then there is a totally different picture. SCIENCE requires accounting for ALL THE DATA.

I like the way you put your post together. Isn't government a cohesive body of political hacks performing the same? I have never read any such thing other than being a teen, swooned within the motion picture studio eating popcorn and sucking a Pepsi. Maybe you can find a quote to support your memories.

I will read your post. But in the future, can you do a favor for me? Stop or quit making pictures SO FUCKING LARGE. You are embarrassing to the discussion because of your games.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Instead of one lone nut's religious fervor for a failed theory I prefer to look at the actual data and see what it has to say. As the graphs I posted above, based on the actual data, show - the trend over the last ten years has been one of Global Cooling.

To be fair, it was manipulation of Einstein's theory that proved black holes and gave birth to the theory of a massive black hole in the center of the universe: The possibility that stars could collapse to form black holes was first theoretically "discovered" in 1939 by J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder, who were manipulating the equations of Einstein's general relativity. The first black hole believed to be discovered in the physical world, as opposed to the mathematical world of pencil and paper, was Cygnus X-1, about 7,000 light-years from Earth. (A light-year, the distance light travels in a year, is about six trillion miles.) Cygnus X-1 was found in 1970. Since then, a dozen excellent black hole candidates have been identified. Many astronomers and astrophysicists believe that massive black holes, with sizes up to 10 million times that of our sun, inhabit the centers of energetic galaxies and quasars and are responsible for their enormous energy release. Ironically, Einstein himself did not believe in the existence of black holes, even though they were predicted by his theory. (NOVA) : ) My bad, Oppenheimer proved his point with evidence Einstein used to disprove black holes.

Correct. I confused you with your pal, James Deffenbach on another thread wherein both of you NEVER offer facts: And the Earth's average temperature is heating up BECAUSE of human over-population and known by-products. Buck, everyone is entitled to their own opinion(s). No one is entitled to their own facts. When you consider that the amount of greenhouse gasses created by one--yeah, ONE--volcanic eruption is more than equal to anything that the whole human race could do in many years, even you should understand that man has very little to do with climate change. The climate changes all the time and it's a good thing. But you just keep on believing how the bad old people are all bent on destroying the earth and how there are too many of them, blah, blah, blah. Scientist: Earth Cooling, Not Warming Atmospheric temperature is regulated by the sun, which fluctuates in activity as shown in Figure 3; by the greenhouse effect, largely caused by atmospheric water vapor (H2O); and by other phenomena that are more poorly understood. While major greenhouse gas H2O substantially warms the Earth, minor greenhouse gases such as CO2 have little effect, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The 6-fold increase in hydrocarbon use since 1940 has had no noticeable effect on atmospheric temperature or on the trend in glacier length. CLIMATE CHANGE: It's official: the world is cooling, not warming Solar activity very closely matches not only recent global temperature changes but also historical changes for the past 1100 years. For instance, the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) was an extremely cold period in which there was very little sunspot activity. Earlier, the Medieval Warm Period (950-1300) was a time when the Vikings colonised Greenland, now much of it covered in a thick ice-sheet. WTF, Buck? Did the Vikings cause global warming with all that old diesel fuel they used in their boats? No, I didn't think so. Maybe it was all their SUV's and stuff--reckon that was it? Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton James Deffenbach “Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Resize them for a political chit-chat channel. You know how to do that, correct?
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
And you never answered the question buck. Did the Vikings cause the Medieval Warming Period? And if so, how did they do it? They didn't have planes and motorized transportation, at least there is no evidence of it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. “Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Why should I? You used a disgusting website to support your opinion. I don't have time for your BS. Other than I know, you have too much time on your hands searching of Liberty_Post and NEWSMAX.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Actually no I'd have to look it up since I don't post a lot of images anymore. In any event personally I like them in the larger size because they are data and are more readily looked at and analyzed than inky dinky thumbnails. I guess it is a matter of preference - it is not intended to offend just inform.

Why did you use the USA general temperatures (a local phenomena) as a method to counter my point concerning general world trends? Sometimes, I don't think you are bright. In case you hadn't noticed only one of the 3 graphs was exclusive to the U.S.. You are quibbling again. In any event last I checked we did live in the U.S.. Don't you?

• During the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), large groups of Norwegians settled in Iceland and Greenland.
• The MWP allowed European farmers to cultivate crops much further north and at higher elevations than today.
• Bountiful harvests freed up surplus manpower, which was subsequently tapped to build cathedrals and bridges.
• When the Earth cooled at the end of the MWP, Europe was hit with a deluge of extreme weather, floods and storms that remade the landscape and killed thousands of people.
• The Little Ice Age that ensued caused great havoc and, as with the MWP, played a key role in changing Europe’s history.
• The histories of glacial activity and cloud formation provide further evidence of recent, rapid climate change.
• When the consequences of rapid global warming are compared with those for rapid global cooling, it’s clear that mankind suffers more harm from the latter.

GW is mot a theory to be debated. It is a FACT. Do some original geophysical research beyond your enmity and distaste for AlGore and other politicians attempting to capitalize on the idea.
Scientists advocates would not have to falsify and cherry pick data to fit the data to the theory.

My bad, I didn't think. Of course growing ice sheets, record snow falls and bone chilling temperatures all add up to one thing: Glowbull Warming.
Your reading on awkward NEWSMAX websites clearly points to your prolific delusions.

They couldn't sell this nonsense as global WARMING, because it was absurd, so the elite now call it climate change in hopes to recapture the asshats who BELIEVE in CHANGE. When they create terms, then change them because the sales pitch becomes laughable, red flags should be visible to anyone with a brain.

Gee, Bucky, the scientific consensus on this issue sure has changed over the past 40 years........right? All that remains the same is the scaremongering. Perhaps that's because paychecks depend upon it. : )

If it were a fact then Glowbull Warming
Scientists advocates would not have to falsify and cherry pick data to fit the data to the theory. When one is practicing science one fits the theory to account for ALL of the evidence - not just the cherry picked and manipulated data which after much fudging appears to fit the predetermined theory.
You can huff and puff until you turn blue in the face and it will not affect the true data and the true data does not support the Glowbull Warmining Hypothesis it in fact DISPROVES it.
So, I have no idea where you are coming from other than you are unconvinced by facts if the facts do not fit your prejudices. Whatever it is you are pushing one thing it is not is science, and most definitely the Religion of Glowbull Warming is NOT a fact. It is a Global Fraud elevated to prominence by the Power Elite for their own agenda which has nothing whatsoever to do with the well being of the planet's ecosphere.

Analysis of Multiple Peer-Reviewed Studies: Global Ocean Warming Not Happening As Climate Models Predicted Read here. The AGW hypothesis claims that the world's oceans have significantly warmed due to human CO2 emissions, and will continue to warm at an accelerated pace. The IPCC climate models were programmed to assume this ocean warming assumption. Reviewing the major research studies on this issue over the last decade, it's been found that the oceans have not significantly warmed, and more importantly, have actually cooled (lost heat) in recent years. This behavior runs counter to every IPCC climate model. In addition, one of the studies points to the oceans acting as a giant climate thermostat incorporating negative feedback mechanisms. The negative feedbacks prevent the global warming from achieving any type of "tipping point."

I also agree the mom nature has been offering population control while man fights it. It's quite a quagmire. Man wants to do something, the more he does the worse the problem becomes.
Einstein also siad we have a massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which we will be aligning with real soon. What do you think the impact of that might be on earth?

...Stop or quit making pictures SO FUCKING LARGE. You are embarrassing to the discussion because of your games.

I have never read any such thing other than being a teen, swooned within the motion picture studio eating popcorn and sucking a Pepsi. Maybe you can find a quote to support your memories.

As we both know - I have NEVER listed NewsMax as source for anything I have EVER posted on this board - and that includes the current thread.

I linked to the actual images in the scale that they had them set up in.

Why did you use the USA general temperatures (a local phenomena) as a method to counter my point concerning general world trends? Sometimes, I don't think you are bright.

Resize them for a political chit-chat channel. You know how to do that, correct?
