Sigh
Hungry polar bears gathering along the tundra, twice as many record-breaking temperatures and stronger hurricanes are among the latest signs of climate change, scientists say.
And we can expect more rain, more drought and fiercer storms in the future if the world continues on its fossil-fuel gobbling track, they told reporters on a conference call Wednesday to discuss the year in global warming.
Is there nothing that Al Gore flying private and Barack Obama driving in a massive gas guzzler doesn’t cause?
Michael Mann, a leading US scientist, said he just returned from a trip to Churchill, Manitoba, the Canadian shore town famous for its polar bears, where the sea ice they depend on for hunting seals has not yet formed because of warm temperatures.
“When you go up there you see the bears all along the coast on the tundra awaiting the sea ice to form and it hasn’t formed yet,” Mann said.
I don’t really need to mention that polar bears are doing quite well and the sea ice is growing, right?
“Heat records are outpacing cold records at a factor of two to one now. That number is expected to increase to 20 to 1 by late this century if we continue on the course that we are on with fossil fuel burning,” Mann said.
Say, Mike, how, exactly, did you travel to Churchill? Oops.
“We now have consensus statements coming out from the scientists and indeed a lot of regional research is pointing all in the same direction. There is nothing going in the other direction,” he said.
Consensus is for picking the prom queen, not for performing science.
“We have to become more involved,” he added. “We have to become better communicators. Scientists are not always good communicators of the issues but this is part of a learning curve and we have got to face that.”
How about, instead of becoming better communicators, you actually walk the talk, give up all the accouterments you say is killing Gaia?
Meanwhile, Disney and Selena Gomez are the climate hypocrites of the week.

Peace! :-)
ahhh the old personal attack, but Teach didn’t you say that was out of bounds when Crissie O’Donell was denying being a witch?
Fred Upton is running for that Chairmanship against Shimus who also disputes global warming. But he bases his argument not on science (or disputed science) but on the Bible. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=1233852
9/11 DENIED
Holocaust DENIED
Evolution DENIED
Moon Landings DENIED
Climate Change DENIED
Science DENIED
Looks like another Top 10 Hottest Year for 2010 as predicted by science. Global Cooling ???
And your wack job Pope still thinks that the climate is changing because of man I guess he must be part of Al Gore’s evil plan to control the whole world.

also disputes global warming.
This is a flat out lie. He doesn’t dispute it at all. In fact, the article you cite has him saying “I do believe the climate is changing.”
You slammed Teach the other day for misquoting something. Take care of your own house.
And your wack job Pope
Didn’t you start out your response with “ahhh the old personal attack?”
The pope is not infallible, Ryan. He is a man just like you are.
The biggest difference is that we hope that the Pope will correct his mistakes and not lie.
We know you won’t do the same.
What in the f*** does what you wrote have to do with post, John? It’s like you decide to just discuss whatever, regardless.
Btw, I’m not catholic. Yet, once again, and as we all expect, it’s all about non-substantive personal attacks with liberals
