A few days old, but it deserves wider acknowledgment. “A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.”
There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered with ice compared to this time last year, they equivalent of almost a million square miles…
…The news comes several years after the BBC predicted that the arctic would be ice-free by 2013…
…changing predictions have led to the UN’s climate change’s body holding a crisis meeting…
I’ll bet they have. Global Warmism is a Big business on its own, as well as a key justification for Big Government. They all gotta protect their funding and profits.

“We’ve gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs! Harrumph harrumph”
“I didn’t get a harrumph outta him!”
Gee, it’s almost like Global Warming was a cooked-up hoax big government socialists used as a tool to dismantle capitalism.
Nah, that’s just crazy talk.
Since most of the climate “data” and anecdotal history has been since the end of the “Little Ice Age” and the European Middle Ages; “…It’s been getting wormer, Doh!”
They really don’t have climatic data over a long-enough time-scale in enough places to really know what’s happening. Plus they keep finding external factors like volcanoes, forest fires, meteor impacts, and Solar variations that skew the climate unpredictably over the millennia-past. Even changes from sudden fresh cold-water influxes to the Atlantic Conveyor or the filling of the Mediterranean Sea-basin through the Pillars of Hercules haven’t been anticipated in their “historical planetary models”.
A warming trend?” Maybe.
Human caused? Perhaps.
Human-life survival threatened? Probably not.
Earth-threatening Event? No.
It is hard to believe that people, besides Al Gore, believe in global warming. It is even more difficault to believe when it comes out of the mouth of a Republican, like Chris Christie. Hasn´t anybody heard about the scandal uncovered by East Anglia University in England? It was shown in 2009 that this is just another left wing attempt at control. Any bit of information that would have cast doubt or disprove their theory, was hidden or tossed away. It´s a hoax. Supposedly there is the claim that in the thirteenth century that global warming was greater then, than today. That´s 500 years before the Industrial Revolution, so there were no large factories, no automobiles or gas powered vehicles. So what caused it? Cow and horse farts?
Personally, I believe in climate change science, but like all science it’s a work in progress. I don’t believe in “global warming”. I believe in “climate change”, as in “we’re trying to understand how and why our climate changes”. For me, defining it that way leaves room for the skepticism that will eventually provide better science.
What I don’t like about the debate overall is that it’s become an Is or Is Not argument, instead of a discussion on what we can be doing to reduce pollution of all kinds and make our environment healthier for everyone, and create jobs with new industries in the process. I don’t think it has to be an either/or proposition.
Eh, just my $0.02. 🙂
That’s good, but a VERY different proposition from what the Global Warmists have been pushing these last 20 years, to justify their big budgets and ever-increasing tyranny.
Some of them are trying to rebuild credibility, by saying what you say. But when *they* say it, it always ends up justifying, once again, their big budgets and ever-increasing tyranny.
Apology (for their many false predictions, mistakes and corrupt actions) is as little a part of their repertoire as, say, budget cuts, or the restoration of economic freedom under a reduced government.
I don’t think it has to be an either/or proposition.
It wouldn’t be if the left treated it as an engineering challenge instead of a political opportunity.

The politicization of the climate has so overwhelmed civil discourse that many of us have begun to doubt the honesty and integrity of the field of science.
We have entered the era in which “consensus science” is to be respected, but reasonable doubt is required to be iron clad.
Global cooling….a global ice age…I’m not afraid.
I am NOT afraid!
Because of the greens we now know how to solve it….
fill up your vehicles haphazardly, let’s all use our outdoor grills on Saturday, use as much toilet paper as you want, the next time driving to the store..take the long way around, let the water run while brushing your teeth, heavily FINE the owners of the Toyota Prius and other so called Hybrid vehicles, and just to be sure, let your lawn mower idle for an extra hour or so this weekend. etc etc etc
POOF global cooling….solved.
(sarc)
Oh imagine if your business was selling Hurricane shutters in my beloved south Florida this year.
It looks like it may be the most calm hurricane season in 50 years.
AL Gore, AL Gore, paging Mr Al Gore….
