Repeat a lie until it is accepted as true?

yes amazing stuff. The climate changes every day. Every day it's different and I DONT LIKE IT.

Also I notice on there that they are making plastic from pollution. So you can make pollution from pollution. Thats cool man.

"Climate change" is a word construction. Climate by itself means the angle of the sun rays incident upon the earth. Change by itself means something different has occurred. The definition of the word construction "climate change" means "mans effect upon the environment" which of course has nothing to do with the definition of either of these two words.

Entire volumes have been written on analysis of these word constructions complete with references to the courts where these meanings have been decided.

Other word constructions are

Subject to the payment of rent

Summit of a mountain

Taxes and other public dues

The dangers of the river excepted

Therefore the defendant is indebted

Unavoidable accident

Friggin' tree huggers [ok .. made this one up]

seen this this morning they keep coming up with more stuff .Arctic's 'Layer Cake' Atmosphere Blamed for Rapid Warming

The Arctic is leading a race with few winners, warming twice as fast as the rest of the Earth. Loss of snow and ice, which reflect the sun's energy, is usually blamed for the Arctic temperature spike.
But a new study suggests the Arctic's cap of cold, layered air plays a more important role in boosting polar warming than does its shrinking ice and snow cover. A layer of shallow, stagnant air acts like a lid, concentrating heat near the surface, researchers report today (Feb. 2) in the journal Nature Geoscience. [Images of Melt: Earth's Vanishing Ice]
"In the Arctic, as the climate warms, most of the additional heat remains trapped in a shallow layer of the atmosphere close to the ground, not deeper than 1 or 2 kilometers [0.6 to 1.2 miles]," said Felix Pithan, a climate scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany and lead author of the new study.
"[This] makes the Arctic surface rather inefficient at getting rid of extra energy, and therefore it warms more than other regions when the entire planet is warming," Pithan told Live Science.
The Arctic atmosphere looks like a layer cake compared with the tropics. In those regions, thunderstorms carry heat from the surface miles upward, where it then radiates out into space. But in the Arctic, air and heat at the surface rarely mix with air located high in the atmosphere, Pithan said.
"The Arctic atmosphere is much more inefficient than the tropics at getting rid of that extra energy," he said.
This pattern also helps explain why the Arctic warming signal is stronger in winter, Pithan said. During that season, the Arctic air mixes less than in the summer, because of cold temperatures and inversion layers — places where air temperature increases with height, instead of the other way around.
Feedback loops
Pithan and co-author Thorsten Mauritsen tested air layering and many other Arctic climate feedback effects using sophisticated climate computer models. On a regional scale, climate feedback effects can amplify or dampen the global warming caused by greenhouse gases.
In the Arctic, one familiar feedback effect is sea ice albedo, which measures how well the Earth's surface reflects sunlight. Snow-covered ice reflects up to 85 percent of sunlight. But the Arctic sea ice has hit near-record minimums of sea ice since 2002, meaning the ocean is absorbing more sunlight, and heat, than it used to, leading to more ice melt.
The ice-albedo effect was the second most important contributor to Arctic warming, according to the study.

They should spray something on that. Some kind of aerosol maybe? Fix it right up.

i have alway wonder why they are up there with icebreaker ship breaking the ice up . some thing just dont add up

There is enough petroleum byproduct left in the world after refining to gasoline,

that the human race could consume plastics and live for an eternity.

Washington, Alaska senators pave way for 4 new icebreakers

Four U.S. senators from Washington and Alaska have banded together to push for construction of four heavy-duty icebreakers, a move that would triple the Coast Guard’s current Seattle-based fleet

WASHINGTON — The four U.S. senators from Washington and Alaska are seeking to authorize construction of as many as four new heavy-duty icebreakers, vastly expanding the Coast Guard’s beleaguered Seattle-based icebreaker fleet.
But with a price tag of $850 million or more per vessel, the odds of Congress going along seem about as good as a snowball’s chance in the warming polar climate.

A report commissioned in 2010 by the Coast Guard said the service would need six heavy and four medium icebreakers to meet its mission. Until last December, the Coast Guard had one operating icebreaker, the medium-duty Healy, which is primarily used for research activities in the Arctic.

why build icebreakers when there no f...ing ice , remember there no ice senators , it called global warming are did they just lie to me again
