To some but it's nothing to jump up and down flapping your arms is it?

5000 out of 8,200,000 is SFA

Well, lemme see, BC is 944,735 m^2. My chunk is only 0.2 KM^2. THAT's tiny. 5000 km^2 is more. A BIG chunk in comparison to mine. If I had to pay taxes on the 5K, you bet I'd be flappin.

But anyway, area is area and volume is volume. In this case area means very little.

So why the subversive terminology? Why do they have to use subterfuge to set off false alarms? It shores up the scam?

 

[Zipperfish]

No, it didn't.

To quote General Malchett from Blackadder: "If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."

It's still quite cool in Vancouver, and didn't the East coast have Hurricane Sandy and follow-up snowstorms last year?

Are you in another Vancouver? This is the best summer on record. We've had one spell of rain in several weeks. Gorgeous beach wetaher everyday.

Aren't you glad the oceans are cooling so you could have a nice summer?

"The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view."
--Ann Coulter

"God said so"? That's what I call an argument!

Dost thou mock the Lord thy God, O sinner?

Dost thou mock the Lord thy God, O sinner?

No, that is not in my nature. I just mock those who think they speak for God.

I suppose so.

 

[petros]

I suppose so.

It's not a very hard scam to pull is it?

Some cooling that is.

Run away!

The upper atmosphere is heating too thanks to a heavy reduction in geo-magnetism/ionosphere but it makes zero difference when the mesosphere separates upper from lower does it?

 

[L Gilbert]

Usually scams have a basisor two in reality, but yeah, it does seem to be that way.

 

[petros]

Run away!

Are you any good with timelines?

Shop and compare to you graph above.

Still working on the specifics, but I'm pretty sure those little buggers are up to something.

Of course, it is all the penguin poop that is causing the ice in the antarctic to melt. Did you see the size of those emperor penguins. and how many there are. That is tons of solar catching poop. I'm surprised that after all these thousands of years of accumulated penguin guano that there is any ice there at all.

Oh jeeez. Another bit that is similar to the area vs volume bit, except now it's surface temps as opposed to the rest of the water in oceans. Good grief. I couldn't care less if the surface cools, warms, or leaps up and dances on a bar table while wearing a lampshade. The oceans are warming. Get over it.
