Could you imagine anyone in control of climate? We'd all be dead within the year. The scientific and the political machines obviously know nothing about global climate mechanics. They remind me of children fighting over whether the window should be up or down.

in 1984 the us and russia signed an "agreement" not to use weather as a weapon of war.
one would assume that for an agreement to be required, somebody can control it.........haarp?

this forum has degraded to a disgusting degree.

T posts an actual scientific argument, and what does he get in return?

Insults and rudeness over something so simple as a discussion about sea ice? How old are we!? Come on guys. Not one of you is that disingenuous.

"If you believe A you're a retard."

"If you believe B you're a moron."

Argh!!!

Where did all the grown ups go lately? What are we DOING!?

Hey, it's the winter, it's getting colder out, people are staying in more and looking for entertainment, so some people are getting a bit more creative. I ain't taking any of it personally.

But speaking for myself, I've already explained all of this before on how it's going to all unfold, but nobody listened, and now everybody is talking about global cooling, etc.... my only point is that I find it pretty foolish for any human to think we should start controlling the cooling or warming of the planet, as if that's a good idea or something.

Which is precisely what scientists say we shouldn't be doing. Start nothing, we're already doing that. Ending it might be a better idea.

Global warning: We are actually heading towards a new Ice Age, claim scientists

It has plagued scientists and politicians for decades, but scientists now say global warming is not the problem.
We are actually heading for the next Ice Age, they claim.
British and Canadian experts warned the big freeze could bury the east of Britain in 6,000ft of ice.
Most of Scotland, Northern Ireland and England could be covered in 3,000ft-thick ice fields.
The expanses could reach 6,000ft from Aberdeen to Kent – towering above Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain.

Over 200 narwhal trapped in Canadian ice

At least 200 narwhal whales in Canada's Arctic, trapped by winter ice that is setting in around them and facing starvation or suffocation, must be culled, officials said Friday.

Hunters from the village of Pond Inlet on Baffin Island discovered the animals trapped near Bylot Island, about 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) from Pond Inlet, on November 15, and checked on them periodically.

The local hunters are allowed to harvest only 130 whales each year for food, according to standards set by the federal department of Fisheries and Oceans.

But department spokesman Keith Pelley told AFP: "It's unlikely the animals are going to survive the winter, so the hunters have been given authorization to cull them."

The hunters have been on the ice slaughtering the whales since Thursday and are likely to accomplish their task over the coming days, he said.

Narwhal are found mostly in the Arctic circle, and are renowned for their extraordinarily long tusk, which is actually a twisted incisor tooth that projects from the left side of its upper jaw and can be up to three meters (10 feet) long.

"A couple of weeks ago, when the ice was still moving, there were quite a few narwhal seen out there in the open water," Jayko Allooloo, chairman of the Pond Inlet hunters and trappers organization, told public broadcaster CBC.

"About a week later, they're stuck."

Community elders and officials feared the whales would die from a lack of oxygen as the ice grew thicker around them, Pelley explained.

There are about a dozen areas of open waters where they could come up for air, but it is a tight squeeze for all of them.
