I've had an epiphany reading this thread. I've decided I don't care if it's real or not. AGW believers, do your worst. In 20 years this will be forgotten much the same as Sarajevo, Rwanda, Nancy Kerrigan, O.J., and the baseball players strike, and Newt Gigrich as the Speaker of the House. (Yes, I had to look them up)

I care
and they will do thier damnedest

Point is, this is not about the climate
It is about money and control
Same as Obamacare

I fully believe Billvon believes this is real
But I also believe he would have us live as he does. He lives what he believes and he can not be faulted for that but, the liberal mindset is to push their beliefs on everybody else

For sure this is the case and many are hypocrites. Bill, most definatly, is not a hypocrite and I respect that

it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

BTY, are you a climate scientist? I know you have well educated yourself on the topic but, who should I believe? You, or a renowned climate expert?

Kallend says all the time he would go with the experts

97% of whom disagree with your uninformed assessment.

Even Exxon Mobil now disagrees with your assessment.

Do you think this issue/science is settled?

You support the idea that man is going to destroy the ecosystem if we keep operating as we are today?

Please also remember, I baddly want to have real dirty air and water for my children and granchildern
I can not understand why anybody would want anything other

In other words, you don't know for yourself when you will consider the science settled.

You can spin it any way you want to

Heavy snow storms today in Wyoming and Colorado. 4-9" in lower elevations. Up to 15" in the higher elevations. It's May, for cryin' out loud!

[DanG 1]

I like how breitbart leaves out the last paragraph of the abstract:

Quote

The results of the present study indicate that most of the glaciers were in a steady state compared to the results of other studies carried out for the period prior to 2001. This period of monitoring almost corresponds to hiatus in global warming in the last decade. It may happen that an interval of one decade could be smaller than the response time of glaciers to be reflected in terms of any significant change with 23.5 m spatial resolution of data. This point requires further studies using high-resolution data for a longer interval of time.

You really need to find better sources.

Where did you learn arithmetic?

12 > 0

What do you think is causing the retreat?

Then there are Andean glaciers:

www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/24/us-andes-glaciers-idUSBRE90N0SO20130124

And the west Antarctic ice sheet (link previously provided).

And Alaskan glaciers: www.webpronews.com/alaska-glacier-thaws-ancient-forest-emerges-2013-09

Greenland glaciers: www.weather.com/news/science/environment/greenland-glaciers-melting-faster-thought-raising-sea-level-rise-fears-20140317

Even Glacier National Park in Montana. seattletimes.com/html/opinion/2021579377_jonathanmartincolumnglacier12xml.html

Yep, sure is funny that Himalayan glaciers are just melting a bit slower than originally thought.

Well, you've already shown that your arithmetic skills are deficient, so it's too much to expect that you understand differential calculus.

So the climate science community has admitted that mitigation is pointless, so adaptation is the strategy to use.
