Ice Age lesson predicts a faster rise in sea level.

If the lessons being learned by scientists about the demise of the last great North American ice sheet are correct, estimates of global sea level rise from a melting Greenland ice sheet may be seriously underestimated.

Writing this week (Aug. 31) in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team of researchers led by University of Wisconsin-Madison geologist Anders Carlson reports that sea level rise from greenhouse-induced warming of the Greenland ice sheet could be double or triple current estimates over the next century.

Frozen Carbon Released From Thawing Permafrost May Be Greater Than Believed.

Global warming data can be like the weather in Kentucky - if you don't like it, just wait a few minutes and it will change. So it goes with the impact of carbon stored in frozen permafrost. In a field beset with both grant-driven hype and irrational optimism, a new study says even the hype was not scary enough.

Hey, they meant New England weather, not Kentucky!

What I read into this is that since the ice has been melting so fast, that science grossly over-estimated humanity's contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere.

And tell me something .... wouldn't it stand to reason that all of those heaters used by humanity in the colder months would be contributing far more to global warming than CO2?


This is a hit & run post. Holiday, ya know. See ya!

fwiw, I don't think it's fair on your end lan to post stuff whilst not responding to others posts.....you can't deny the fact that the ice is indeed melting, and that the arctic may indeed be totally ice free.

And your rebuttal:

That's becoming too common place in this forum, and not just LAN.

1. I'll post what I want ... when I want ... neener, neener, neener.

2. The article claimed that the North Pole might be ice free ... not the Arctic. I was waiting for you to misrepresent this assertion ... and you didn't disappoint.

3. Well, the article made the claim that the NP would be ice free by September ... and here it is ... September. Is the NP ice free yet? Got a photo?


Didin't think so.

Global warming made hurricane Gustav "wetter"

I'm surprised you used that link.
Did you read all of it?

And it's only getting worse, Curry said. From 1975 to 1990, about 17 percent of all hurricanes around the world were Category 4 and 5. From 1990 to 2004, that jumped to 35 percent. And from 2003 through last year it was up to 41 percent — not including this year's Gustav.

Yah .... last year was a DOOOZIE for hurricanes, wasn't it?
