    Seems like someone so concerned about it should know...wouldn't you say?

    I already know the answer. I was curious if you did...most Warmists don't.

    They also don't know that it was warmer 7,000 years ago than it is now, with ZERO human input. Etc. Etc.

    Makes it kinda hard to buy into the nonstop "Chicken Little Wolf Cries"...for the past twenty years...

    BTW- You're Australian, right? Any mention of who will be marketing the water from this fresh water gold mine yet?

    It is an utterly meaningless figure with which games are played by *academics*, intent on continuing to bilk taxpayers
    of billions of research dollars.
    1. The Antarctic gets down to around -130 F.
    2. Death Valley gets up to around +130.
    3. Mean, median, or mode, and on what month and day?

    Trump is driven by jealousy NOT the issues..

    Despite Trump's decision, Kaine wrote that "U.S. private sector, researchers, cities, towns and states will lead clean energy revolution despite lack of leadership from WH & President."

    This isn't the first time the Virginian has taken aim at Trump's stance on the climate change.

    "Virginians are already dealing with rising sea levels, increasing costs of flood insurance, and more extreme storms," Kaine said in a statement in early May.

    "In a historic show of unity, America joined virtually every other country in pledging reductions to carbon pollution that will make our planet cleaner tomorrow than today," he continued. "I urge the Trump Administration not to turn over America’s international leadership role on climate change and clean energy to China by retreating from our place at the table."

    You've been listening to Trump and Pruitt haven't you? Try listening to people who actually know what they're talking about. China is investing nearly £300 billion in addressing pollution while America goes backwards, thanks to the cretin you voted for.
    Still, he wants America First, so allow me to congratulate you in advance on becoming the world's number one polluter.

    What are you 'paying' China? They don't need your money. China is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in addressing pollution. America is going backwards, thanks to that cretin you elected. Still, he wants America First. So, with that in mind, please accept my slightly premature congratulations on becoming the world's Number One Polluter in a few years.

    Referring to (un)SkepticalScience is like referring to InfoWars for news.

    Greening is good but (and that's a big butt Bertha) for all the unproven alarmist predictions that so far have a success rate of exactly zero.

    Good, so the melting tundra isn't releasing tons of methane into the atmosphere. Thanks for the reassurance. By the way, where did you get your degree in climatology?

    Now, can we hear your argument against this please? 'Because it's a hoax' isn't an argument, by the way.

    Ah, another logical fallacy. Sorry, not having a degree is just your excuse for doing no research.

    And meanwhile the Rockies snow pack is at record depths and the run off hasn't even begun with only ninety days until normal seasonal snow begins again. GOOD news for those living west of the continental divide Arizona, California and Utah that use all of it but a small trickle of it that finally pisses in to the Gulf Of California!

    Awesome to hear. We can we expect his administration's plan?

    "Let's just keep dumping water into the ocean"?
    "Let's"????
    Maybe you intend to stop rivers from flowing into the ocean, Einstein.
    Never mind that evaporation pulls trillions of gallons from the ocean every single day.

    You and Al Gore are a pair.

    The Climate agreement starting date was in 2020, not today. Trump thus far has done nothing. Plus it is framed as suggestions.

    How much Ice do you need or want at the two poles? At the South end, we have more and more ice. This is what drives the Larsen shelf to crack. More and more ice above it is pressing down on the glacier. I can't think of a good and safe way to stop that pressure.

    At the North Pole, they have had plenty of ice as I see this. But how much more do you think is needed there?

    Choke to death from what? We have a super tiny bit of Carbon Dioxide, in the order of .04 of one percent. Men in Submarines exist very well with quantities of up to 10,000 ppm. Even 400 ppm presents no danger.

    Frankly, i do not understand the argument I changed to red. It is a flat out statement made as if it is fact.

    It is a wild guess.

    We are told we must change. If that is not a sacrifice, what is?

    You are new to this debate aren't you. Nobody is talking about CO2 killing you, its about the greenhouse effect of atmospheric CO2 raising the temperature several degrees.

    I personally see the extremely tiny change to temperature as a non problem. I mean, over the past well over 100 years, a mere 2 degrees. I see worse changes daily.

    Why do Democrats see warmer days as a danger yet in cold weather, people freeze to death?

    Not quite. Antarctic ice is losing mass but increasing slightly in extent but not enough to make up for the loss in the arctic.

    No, it has lost half of its extent and 2/3rds of its volume.

    2 degrees have already happened and you are right that it isn't a big change. However 6 degrees is an ice-free dinosaur era, and 6 degrees in the opposite direction is an ice age. It is predicted that the planet will warm by 2-6 F by 2100 with more warming after that, we don't know for sure what exactly will happen.

    Let's spend a bit of time on just watching a renown climate expert as he explains things to us all.

    I know too much about climate to believe in such predictions.

    I am updating you and now you realize you need not worry about the Antarctic ice at all.
