    We have not warmed in almost 20 year yet we have emitted more than expected of CO2 (supposedly a greenhouse gas). Global warming is a crock and it is disgusting how the facts against this crock are buried.

    CO2 is supposedly a greenhouse gas!:roflol: ...and the earth is supposedly orbiting the sun, and the earth is supposedly a sphere, and we're supposedly held on it by gravity....ya CO2 was confirmed as a GHG a 155 yrs ago but you carry on with your alternate science facts, it's amusing...

    so over the last 17 years we have emitted more than expected CO2 yet no warming? How is that possible? Which excuses, I mean theory do you subscribe to, that explains the "pause" as libbs are calling it? Let me guess, you subscribe to "the oceans ate the warming" theory? That's my favorite excuse.

    Funny how the same people who claim scientists are ignoring water vapor, clouds, solar activity, volcanoes, and any other climate variable they can think of will turn around and claim that because warming has "paused" that CO2 can't be the cause.

    Don't you remember the ship with 74 global warming propagandists including "scientist" Chris Turney who decided they would take a cruise to the antarctic to show all the ice had melted but their ship got stuck in ice, as well as a Chinese ice breaker ship that tried to rescue them, an Australian ice breaker, and for a while a Russian ice breaker.

    Remember Turney's "explanation"? He said the increased ice is just a local weather event, it had nothing to do with the global climate. LOL

    and why do ships head to the arctic or antarctic in summer?....

    Because there's no hope of getting through winter pack ice...

    And what happens to winter ice in summer?...
    Yes that's right it breaks up into enormous ice flows...

    And why do ships get trapped by ice flows?...
    Wind and currents push them around closing the previously open sea lanes trapping the ships...

    No need to thank me for the free educational update, I like making people smarter inspite of themselves...

    Heard it already, you are just regurgitating Turney's excuse. If a somewhat scientist can spout that stuff and it doesn't stick, why do you think you can repeat it and make it work?

    If you think they never expected to encounter ice on their trip, then explain why they took an Finnish-built ice-strengthened ship on their trip?

    Person who calls scientific consensus claptrap loses debate. I call the thread.

    Your links are talking about a northEAST passage, not the Northwest passage.

    I'd like to say I'm surprised when AGW deniers turn out to be basing claims on debunked science or simple failure to understand their own cites, but it happens nearly every time, so I can't.

    We have warmed - despite a decade of reduced solar output

    I am NOT looking forward to a renewed solar cycle

    Turney himself said the purpose of the trip was to see the loss of ice in the antarctic, and tehy got stuck where there wasn't supposed to be ice.

    But I imagine - not sure, given its the warmers - that they aren't completely stupid and went in a ship that was capable of handling the antarctic.

    or why canadian ice breakers only operate in the arctic during northern summer months and in antarctic ice breakers operate in the southern hemisphere summer...why even bother sending ice breakers according to our self taught marine expert battle there is no ice in the summer...clearly battle is a much greater authority on sea ice than the worlds combined ice breaking fleets...

    Clearly not, as a special ed teacher would have seen right through Turney's lame excuse.

    But Global Warming makes ice! Because that's what happens when things warm up. They get cold. Al Gore told me so. He wouldn't lie to me. He invented the internet.

    How is it possible country that put men on the moon, has 60% of its population still belives in the noahs ark fairy tale...That same country that leads the oecd nations in climate deniers is not surprisingly ranked 17th in science knowledge among oecd nations

    And no Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet, he was credited by internet pioneers with creating the environment for its growth to what it is today...but hey, denierworld is never embarassed to let awkward details like facts spoil their fantasy world...

    because that's essentially how science works...a scientist puts forward a testable hypothesis...other scientists will question and probe the hypothesis looking for flaws and see if they can repeat the results...if the hypothesis is shot down for errors the originator may abandon his hypothesis or adjust it and try again...when a hypothesis withstands repeated challenges and testing the scientific consensus will the be that it is accepted as true, a Theory...

    why is that, would you prefer another Maunder Minimum and little Ice age? The Earths temperature has not fully recovered from the last one. I suppose for winter sports enthusiasts a colder Earth is a good thing but myself I could not wait for this last winter to end

    Which isn't happening with global warming.

    ya it did, repeatedly... that's why there is overwhelming consensus now in the scientific world, AGW and CC are a fact, scientists have already moved on...the only discussions left are going on in forums like this...

    You think .5C cooling would be worse than 3C warming?

    Still repeating the discredited story that Medieval temperatures were warmer than today?

    A few months from now you might be wishing the opposite.

    LOL, OK, riiiiight. You have it ass-backwards. The only ones keeping it alive are the idiotic leftwing media and idiotic liberals in forums like this.
