RADM Titley, call your office

We are all waiting for your next speech about what we are going to do in order to address the shortfall of icebreakers to address expansion of the polar ice cap.

Ahem.
Barring an about face by nature or adjustments, it appears that for the first time since 2001, Arctic Sea ice will hit the “normal” line as defined by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) for this time of year.
It may be a wait.

    I thought the icebreakers were going to be used to mow through the sea of floating polar bear carcasses clogging the water.  (I hear they were falling off the icebergs like snowflakes, right?  Isn't that what the movie said?)

    The global scamming actors have a lot of explaining to do about how they have defrauded people and nations out of untold amounts of money.

    The fact that world temperatures have gotten colder since 1998 is more proof of global warming.  How could Al Gore, Prince Charles, and Hollywood be mistaken? 

    Expect the lawsuits.  Trial lawyers uber alles.  They will sue every chance they get to push "cap and trade".  It's coming.

    Yesterday I heard a global warmist on the radio claim that the choice of 1998 as a base year to measure temperatures was wrong because it a warm year and it's use constituted "Cherry Picking."  A caller came on and pointed out that the year the Warmists like to use was a cold year and was also cherry picked.  He then went on to DESTROY the data Warmists use.  Facts must never be allowed to get in the way of their theory.

    <span>The whole AGW issue is quickly becoming a laughing matter.  Cap & Trade, if passed, will end up being the LAST embarassment for this administration.  The EPA ruling will be sued out of existence because they relied upon the IPCC Reports which have become an embarassing joke to scientists.  The latest IPCC Reports are so full of "Gates" their findings are nearly meaningless to the layman.  And, it is those laymen who vote that are the real constituents.</span>

    I predict an "Artic Ice Operations" (AIO) mission module.

    Climate studies is probably among the least suitable topics for blogging or modern media at large.  These things change over dozens if not hundreds of years.  We can't look at it on a year by year, or anything smaller than that, to make a point regarding what the data is saying.  What it is this year it won't be next year, or month-to-month. 

    Personally, I do not think my grandkids will believe me when I tell them that the North-west passage used to be only a dream.

    YNSN,

    Dozens, hundreds of years?  Many, many millenia. 

    How is it that 140-odd "hard" data samples out of 4.53 billion years (.0000000003%) is reliable data for projrcting trends, but twelve data samples out of those 140 years (8.3%) isn't?

    If I were to believe Al Gore that mankind affects the climate, then it was our doing that brought about the end of the last ice age.  Anywhere between 10k and 20k years ago.   The damage was done because the EPA didn't regulate Neolithic factories and manufacturing.

    Look at any of the books by Brian Fagan.  His "The Little Ice Age" talks about the middle ages, and I'm currently reading his "The Long Summer"  The fossil record goes back 400,000 years.  He says that he believes in AGW (I think so he can keep his tenure) and than goes on to talk about all the changes in climate, beginning with the Cro-Magnon.  Climate is not stable and changes.  Man has little to do with it.

    Wouldn't you need the icebreakers if the ice were receding rather than actually expanding.  I know it's counterintuitive, but from a utility perspective I believe it makes sense if you think about it.

    V/R,

    Rear Admiral Titley, get your a$$ onto Killington in your skivvie drawers and take in some global warming.  Jackass.

    "Killington, Vt., had five inches of snow Friday morning and other areas above 4,000 feet saw the white stuff as well, Jim Cantore of weather.com reported for MSNBC. By the time the storm blows through on Sunday, he added, some Vermont and New Hampshire mountains could see 16 inches of snow."

    October the frigging fifteenth.  Jackass.
