"Last year was an unusual year when wind currents and other weather
conditions coincided with global warming to worsen sea ice melt, Serreze
said. Scientists wondered if last year was an unusual event or the start
of a new and disturbing trend.

This year's results suggest the latter because the ice had recovered a
bit more than usual thanks to a somewhat cooler winter, Serreze said.
Then this month, when the melting rate usually slows, it sped up
instead, he said."

It affects everyone. The thermohaline circulator requires a precise mix
of cold/warm/salt/fresh water in the oceans near Greenland. If the
circulator changes famines ensue.

Interesting propaganda. Like Noah Wylie whining about the
impending doom of the polar bears. 95% of which have migrated south
into the populated areas of Canada, btw. Why? Because they were all
fans of the late Sam Kinison who said, "there'd be no starvation if
everybody'd just MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS!"

Notice that this polar sea ice story is about this year...the
SECOND lowest level of sea ice since records began in 1979.

No one mentioned last year that it was the LOWEST level of sea
ice since 1979.

Which suggests what even the so-called 'experts' have been
admitting now for three years is true: that the warming has stopped
and cooling has begun.

Even the global warming zealots have admitted, in the face of
their own data, there has been no warming since 1998.

And Al "I'm going to rule the goddamned country if I have to
manufacture a panic to do it" Gore has even admitted that the
warming has subsided. Now claiming that in 10 years there will be
explosive warmth, and we'll all be doomed.

For this religion, the worship never ends. Even when the mythos
has been exposed.

NOAA has said that the warmest year on record was not 1996 as had
been stated by the global warming movement, but rather 1934. When
the only SUV on the road would be the Chevy Suburban, a year away. A
point that Al "I'm not going to argue this issue, so don't EVEN
think of putting me at a table with anybody other than a sympathetic
interviewer" Gore refuses to explain.

Ice core samples from both poles as well as core samples from
every continent have been pointing to the fact that the warmest
period in Earth history was 700 years ago, when all the Hummer
dealers were closed.

Global climate, as everything on this planet, is in constant
flux. It's cyclic in nature, shows some parallels to sunspot cycles
(just like the hole in the ozone) and long trends over time show the
climate to be cooling.

Arianna "I only take private jets, but it's no big deal because
they're going that way anyway" Huffington is an airhead.

Steve Forbes is a useful idiot who's very good in business.

You didn't read the story very carefully. It clearly states that the
ice is still melting and this may still end up as the year with the
least ice. When GM started making their Suburban-esque vehical it was
called the Carry All. I used to drive one. When gas was 75 cents a gallon.

There are variations due to solar cycles, wars, volcanoes, but the
moving average is going up; regardless of your denials. Anybody can
excise a little piece of a trend to attempt to prove a point, and the
gullible will gladly play along.

Actually, yes, I did.

The Suburban was introduced in 1935 as the Suburban CarryAll. You
may want to brush up.

A little piece of a trend: from the 11th century to present. Yes,
I see your point.

And why do you single out highly visible democrats for such criticism?
Are you saying the Bushes of Kennebunkport are less elitist than the
Kerrys and the Kennedys of Martha's Vineyard?

Everybody says JFK was a hero because he cut taxes on thw wealthy, so
let's go back to those glory days of 63% on the top incomes. Or just
close all the loopholes.

This makes sense:

==============================
Leaders that are unchecked tend to develop large salaries and a more
affluent lifestyle that makes them unwilling to go back to their
previous jobs. With a powerful out faction ready to expose profligacy,
no leaders dared create sumptuous personal remuneration.

- Everybody says JFK was a hero because he cut taxes
- on thw wealthy, so let's go back to those glory days of
- 63% on the top incomes.  Or just close all the loopholes.

CHANGE THE WAY TAXES ARE COLLECTED :
[Make Imported Goods Pay Their Fair Share of the US Budget.]

Flat National Sales Tax (X%) for Every Family of Four (4)
with a combined Income of less-than $180K* per Year.
Result - 80% of AMERICANS PAY AS THEY SPEND
and have No Income Taxes and No Deductions.

Tier # 1 Gross Earnings Tax (X%) of for Every Family
of Four (4) with a combined Income of More-Than $180K*
and less-than $1.8M per Year.
Result - 15% of of High Income Americans Pay a Flat
Gross Earnings Tax that is Equal to the National Sales
Tax with No Deductions.

Tier # 2 Gross Earning Tax (2X%) of for Every Family
of Four (4) with a combined Income of More-Than
$1.8MK* per Year.
Result - The Top 5% of of Richist Earnings Americans
Pay a Flat Earnings Tax that is Twice to the National
Sales Tax with No Deductions.

EARINGS : Income, Interest, Dividends, Capital Gains,
Employee Benefits and Options; Rents, Royalties, etc.

* Three Times the National Average Wage using a Three
Year Running Average.
