Worming Finale, until something else gets me fired up again

What happened to the report of our latest finding in the oldest ice core sample?
Why has no one said anything about the fact that the plant life contained within could only survive if the earth's temperature was at least 22 degrees warmer than what it is now?

The first results confirm that over the last 740,000 years the Earth experienced eight ice ages, when Earth's climate was much colder than today, and eight warmer periods (interglacials). In the last 400,000 years the warm periods have had a temperature similar to that of today. Before that time they were less warm, but lasted longer.

If you fill a glass with ice then top it off with water, when the ice melts, does the glass overflow? Why will the landmasses of the earth flood if a little bit of the glacier's freeze?

I heard from a climatologist this last week, that the increase in water depth will be a result of the expansion caused by heat, not the amount of ice that will melt. Still, I find it hard to believe a degree or two will cause that much expansion.

Why are the outskirts of the Antarctic getting warmer, while the center is cooling?
Doesn't this contradict the whole warming idea?

They are trying so hard to prove their theory, and continually come up short.

Why is some guy who helped develop the internet and lost an election the guru of global warming?

Because he is desperate to stay in the spotlight?

Why do some people have no personality?

Just a little jab at aforementioned person.

Why has no one ever included with those horrific pictures of polar bears floating on a block of ice, the fact that polar bears regularly swim over 20 miles at a time, and can swim over 60?

“Sea ice conditions can change quickly”


This is part of an article I found in Encarta. Notice that the last glaciation ended with a 13 degree rise in only 50 years. This is much more than our current 0.6 degree change in the past 120 years. Like I said in the beginning, I do not doubt a change in our current atmosphere, but I do doubt the effects of the Industrial Revolution.

Paleoclimatologists believe that, during the current Cenozoic Era, Earth's climate has been characterized by a series of glacial and interglacial cycles superimposed upon overall global cooling. Global temperatures progressively declined throughout the early Cenozoic and dropped quite suddenly about 2 million years ago, heralding a series of glaciations. However, fossil plants in coals from places such as northern Alaska, Greenland, and Svalbard (a group of islands belonging to Norway) suggest that there were warm episodes in the early and mid-Cenozoic Era as well.
The distribution of continents and oceans has changed throughout the Cenozoic Era until reaching that of today, with Antarctica becoming centered on the South Pole. About 30 million years ago, Antarctica had separated from South America and Australia; and a cold circum-Antarctic current was established. This isolated the continent from warm ocean currents and triggered the thickening and advance of the Antarctic ice cap. An extensive Antarctic ice sheet existed seven million years ago. Northern Europe and America moved northward into colder latitudes, and the ice sheets advanced from the South Pole.
The most recent glaciations have been more severe than those of the preceding portion of the Cenozoic Era. Because it is possible to date more of the events of the past 2 million years, much more is known about climate change during that period. The glacial-interglacial cycles have lasted about 100,000 years each, an interval that closely corresponds to the duration of changes in Earth's orbital position relative to the Sun. Evidence from deep-sea sediments reveals a pattern of slow advance of the polar ice caps, followed by sudden retreat due to rapid warming at the end of each glacial episode. The last major glaciation—10,700 years ago—ended with a 7°C (13°F) global temperature rise over a 50-year period.
