Even More on Glow-Bull Warming

Here's what happens when the tree huggers decide we should be running our cars on biofuel.  The cost of everything goes up exponentially.

The tree huggers won't be happy until we all start living in caves again and flinging our own dung at each other.  The Demoncraps call that Progressive, but in reality, it's Regressive.  It all started with Populism during the Industrial Age.  Farmers who couldn't afford the new tractors, combines and other state-of-the-art equipment that came about during the Industrial Age looked to gub'ment to level the playing field for everyone, aka make it fair for the lowest common denominator.  Populism later evolved into Progressivism, which is what Hillary Stalin Clinton likes to call herself, but it’s all about the same thing.  Constrain and restrict the big guys, acheivers and winners, while boosting and nursing the little guy, losers and whiners.   They use this environmental movement to place constraints and restrictions on the world's greatest acheivers (America) while allowing "developing nations" (China) to ignore them.  It makes me sick...

This is an interesting if timely commentary on this same subject by Walter Williams (sometimes fills in for Rush):

OK, just one more of these for fun....

There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998

Don't tell anybody.  You might mess up Algore's money tree.

It seems that "everybody" was "wrong again." 

Some of this new information could very well put an end to this over-blown hysteria.

Well, it looks like this thread had gone dead.  Here are a few more graphs to review.  The point here is that this modern enviro-mental movement is failing to look at all of the facts and tell the whole truth.

See here GarMan; your facts on Global Warming are standing in the way of the truth; Antarctica IS melting:

Antarctic ice shelf 'hanging by a thread'

A thin strip of ice, just 6 kilometres wide, may be all that is holding back the collapse of a huge ice shelf in AntarcticaWatch the full-size video A narrow strip of ice is now bracing the remainder of the Wilkins ice sheet.A thin strip of ice, just 6 kilometres wide, is all that is holding back the collapse of a huge ice shelf in Antarctica, according to glaciologists.

The Wilkins ice shelf – previously some 16,000 square kilometres in area – has been disintegrating fast. On 28 February, an iceberg 41 km long and 2.5 km wide broke off the ice shelf. This triggered the runaway disintegration of a further 570 square kilometres of ice.

"I would be very surprised if it survives more than a couple more melt seasons," says Ted Scambos of the University of Colorado, US.

Other researchers, including David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey, believe it could be gone within weeks. "The ice shelf is hanging by a thread – we'll know in the next few days or weeks what its fate will be," he says.

'Narrow brace'
Although researchers agree the disintegration of the Wilkins ice shelf will not contribute to rising sea levels, they say it may help them understand what triggers such events in order to predict when they are likely to happen again.

"There now remains just a narrow beam of ice, roughly 6 km wide, which is bracing the rest of the shelf," says Scambos. "If that beam breaks up, about half of the ice shelf will probably very quickly break apart."

However Scambos says this is not likely to happen this year, as the southern winter is settling in.

The break up is already helping researchers understand what triggers the disintegration of ice sheets. They now know that waves generated by storms over the open ocean are just as important as air and water temperature.

No sea-level rise
"The waves travel thousands of kilometres and are long and gentle. They are able to flex and break an ice shelf," says Scambos.

Normally, a slurry of sea ice floating in front of the ice shelf would act as a wave breaker, keeping the surrounding waters still. But this year – as in 2002 when the Larsen B shelf dramatically disappeared in just 30 days – warm temperatures melted away much of the sea ice. The glaciologists believe this is what has caused the break up of the Wilkins ice shelf in recent weeks.

The Wilkins ice sheet is not connected to inland glaciers in the same way as Larsen B was. As a result, its collapse will not accelerate the flow of glaciers into the ocean, and so will not immediately cause a sea-level rise

Everyone make a point to turn on all of your lights, appliances, and electronics from 8-9pm to offset this stupid hippie shit.

There's a couple of billboards in Atlanta about this environmentalist bullshit...your suggestion is EXACTLY what I had in mind!

[Ogre]

I think I'm going to go turn my car on for an hour, and then crank up my lawnmower and just let it run.  Next I'll turn on every light in the house, run the dishwasher, do a couple loads of laundry and nuke some food in the microwave.  Then I'm going to take all the trash in my house and dump it into the river.  I'll probably defecate in the river while I'm there.

Should be a good time.
