Its getting so boring. Im suprised the spin doctors have not realised there is so much public backlash to this now, that the need another angle.

Killing the planet....duh!

I do hope that people are taking note of the names of the alarmists, scaremongers, pseudo-scientists and other climate-change-liers; and when common sense prevails they are suitably ostracised/jailed/beaten-to-a-pulp.

Even Moonbat has been back-peddling recently (geddit )

Nice article in the waily-wail today though - Global warming? Don't wait up! The Earth has her own tricks to keep the carbon count in control

Question

I'm not taking sides but just tell me: -

Why, if the world's overall temperature is actually a degree lower than usual, are the Arctic ice and glaciers melting so rapidly?

I do, however, have some sympathy with the view that all the s,hit that countries like China are putting into the atmosphere could be affecting weather and rain patterns as small changes at high altitude can make a big difference.

They're actually not. There's a fair bit of scaremongering going on about that as well at the moment. There are lots of variants on the reported amount of sea ice - go take a look... google polar ice growth and see for yourself:

Arctic Sea Ice Increases at Record Rate Watts Up With That?
Why Doesn't Anyone Mention the Record Growth of Sea Ice Around Antarctica?

and so on

I'm not convinced about global warming at all. Also whilst we go adding huge amounts to business under the green guise, other places like China and India are steaming ahead with expansion. I wonder when it all sorts out which countrys are bankrupt?

Who cares if "only" 500 million people survive ?

At the rate Somalis breed that's a small dent in the population.

The recent revelations from the hacked emails etc. don't seemed to have made any difference to their political claims.
