Worried About Arctic Ice?

Read Professor Pielke.

I was amused at the unintended irony of this story at the BBC:

President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, John Holdren told the BBC that the climate was changing much faster than predicted.

What does that say about their ability to make predictions?

All scientists hate America.

I remember reading about extremely fast melting of Arctic sea ice... in the early 1970s.

I was an undergrad at Ohio State from 1971-75. The Institute for Polar Studies is at OSU. They used to post current papers on the bulletin board, and I remember reading one about how the Arctic "pack ice" had declined by some huge percentage.

But then Global Cooling came along and I never heard any more about it.

Warning! I have just discovered a dangerous, new phenomenon! It seems that between the global warming periods and the global cooling periods there is a dangerous global moderating period! Unless I can get a new supercomputer to check these new theories, a catastrophe will occur.

Or maybe not, I don't know.

Look, lets just admit that global warming is real and get on with making money out of it. Al Gore has already hit it big politically via AGW, now it's time for us space minions to cash in as well. It's like totally established by a majority of rocket scientists that the only way we can save the earth in time is with giant mylar reflectors in space, shielding the earth from hazzardous excess sunlight. This will give us time to convert all our cars to hybrids and stick windmills over 40 percent of the North American land mass. Since such a massive project would require a quadrupling of the number of aerospace systems engineers, the cost would be high. Meaning at least a $500,000/yr salary for each aerospace engineer. But let's face it, this is the earth we're talking about here. There's no time to argue and there is no difference of opinion on this. At least as far as I'm concerned. Are you with me guys??

LOL!

A study of 25 years? These analyses are a forest of all bark and no tree. They don't know what they are observing.
