    I don't think anyone really knows the answer to those questions.

    What we proud "deniers" are saying is don't assume it is humans and that liberals could do anything about it even if we allowed them to try.

    Caption under picture at NASA site:
    "Historic snow cover data not displayed on these images. Sea ice concentrations less than 30% are not displayed in these images. Snow cover data is displayed only for most recent dates."

    "Sad … Very Sad!"

    Ha-Ha!

    You are funny, MannieD.

    Please read the date of the NASA satellite image on the right.

    From your caption, "the most recent date" for snow cover data is 3/06/12 and this image shows significant snow cover over all the polar land masses. If "global warming" were indeed a problem, as many fanatics claim it is, this latest image showing snow cover over the Arctic would look more like the satellite image for 3/07/79. These NASA satellite images clearly show "global warming" today is not a problem.

    Finally, we agree!

    I will concede, however, this does not mean "global warming" will not be a problem 50-75 years from now. China and India are building huge coal-fired electric power plants like crazy. How do you and the other "warmies" intend to stop them?

    What! ... You don't have a workable plan? ... What is your "save-the-world" movement coming to!

    Even though its hard to explain, something is definitely going on. The weather is noticeably more extreme than 20 years ago. And the rise in extreme weather seems to coincide with statistics about rising CO2, especially in China. However, it is positive that the snow in the Himalayas hasn't melted yet. Perhaps if we get our act together and go green, we'll prevent the worst of it.

    Most warmies no not understand what actually causes global warming. They do not understand it is mostly a natural phenomenon and not a man-made event.

    If they would actually read and study the IPCC reports, they would learn that today only 7 G-ton/yr of atmospheric CO2 are actually attributed to fossil fuel burning. On the other hand, These reports show that natural carbon exchange is by far dominant, amounting to ~120 G-ton/yr between decay and oxidation of vegetation and soil inventory exchange, and that ~70 G-ton/yr is produced between uptake and release atmospheric CO2 from the surface ocean.

    AGW may become a problem in the future. The problem is with China and India not the USA. China and India are building huge coal-fired electric power plants today like crazy. How do the "warmies" in the world intend to stop them? ... Problem is, they don't!

    Do I get an agreement that we now agree?

    Not as long as you misrepresent the images.

    And I'm done with you and your misrepresentations. I have made my point.

    Ha-Ha!

    Please be an adult and not a child and admit you are wrong!

    These discussions were very good.

    Bristol University glaciologist Prof Jonathan Bamber, who was not part of the research team, said: "The very unexpected result was the negligible mass loss from high mountain Asia, which is not significantly different from zero."

    The scientists are careful to point out that lower-altitude glaciers in the Asian mountain ranges – sometimes dubbed the "third pole" – are definitely melting. Satellite images and reports confirm this. But over the study period from 2003-10 enough ice was added to the peaks to compensate.

    The reason for the radical reappraisal of ice melting in Asia is the different ways in which the current and previous studies were conducted. Until now, estimates of meltwater loss for all the world's 200,000 glaciers were based on extrapolations of data from a few hundred monitored on the ground. Those glaciers at lower altitudes are much easier for scientists to get to and so were more frequently included, but they were also more prone to melting.

    The bias was particularly strong in Asia, said Wahr: "There extrapolation is really tough as only a handful of lower-altitude glaciers are monitored and there are thousands there very high up."

    If the "warmies" in this group have different reliable numbers, I would love to see them.

    The problem with the Left is they never once compare man's small CO2 emissions to the natural emissions produced every day by the earth's oceans and by dying and oxidizing vegetation around the world that adds at least 120 G-ton/yr of carbon dioxide to the earth's atmosphere! Therse figures, by the way, are confirmed by the IPCC executive reports.

    Seriously dude, get your facts straight and do your homework.

    Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze.

    Sun erupts with strongest summer solar flare yet

    The most powerful solar flare of the summer so far erupted from the sun Friday (July 6), the latest in a string of powerful storms this week from our nearest star, space weather experts say.

    The sun storm occurred just after 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT) and registered as a class X1.1 solar flare — one of the strongest types of solar flares possible, according to the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) run by NOAA and the National Weather Service.

    The huge solar flare erupted from the giant sunspot AR1515, which has already fired off several other powerful storms this week. Space weather scientists were closely watching the sunspot for possible X-class flares.

    "And AR1515 did it! X1-class solar flare," officials with NASA's sun-watching Solar Dynamics Observatory wrote in a post to @Camilla_SDO, the mission's mascot Twitter account.

    By all accounts, the sunspot group AR1515 is enormous. It stretches across 118,681 miles (191,000 kilometers) of the sun's surface, making it longer than 15 Earths set end to end, NASA solar astrophysicist C. Alex Young told SPACE.com today before the new flare.

    While today's solar flare marked the strongest of the summer season, which began in late June, it is not the strongest of 2012. In March, the sun fired off an intense X5.4-class solar flare. Today's sun storm marked the fifth X-class solar flare of the year.
