So says climahypocrite Al Gore’s Climate Reality
No, climate change is NOT a ‘natural cycle.’ 10 ways we can tell humans are affecting it: http://t.co/O61lD9LdB1 pic.twitter.com/sroAE0hZp9

I’m doing this post on my smartphone, so, no long discourse on the idiocy of the article, except to note that it utterly fails to prove that any of those ten reasons are man-caused over natural causation. The closest it gets is in almost alluding to UHI/land use. The unhinged screed does what most Warmists do: take data and simply imply, heck, demand that mankind is at fault, yet, for all that, they refuse to act like it’s a crisis in their own lives.
More: added “change” to headline, was supposed to be there in the first place. Doesn’t really change the substance being discussed, eh?
Teach in an earlier post you said that the Sun is the great driver of climate change
Yet, the sun has been slightly cooling since 1960 so why do you think temps have gone up and the Arcyic ice cap has shrunk so much ?
Could it be SUPERNATURAL????
Like God is doing it ??
The article claimed “climate change is NOT a ‘natural cycle.”
Teach left out “change”.
Ah, Beavis and ButtHead displaying their ‘special’ kind of intelligence again.
Ah, suckingpuppies displaying his ‘special’ ability to suck again.
Only if you think accuracy in reporting is important.
“Arctic ice cap has shrunk so much.” I love proclamations like this. John, is this the first time this has happened? No. And over the last several years the ice has been growing, along with the Antarctic ice cap. So what’s your point?
No of course thus us not the first time
But
Please tell me WHY it is shrinking now when the Sun is weaker now than since 1960?
Can you give a rational scientific reason why the planet is getting warmer and the ice cap is melting?
Scientists can give explanations why in the past our planet was warmer it cooler
Can you give an explanation why it is getting warmer now ?
And drowning puppies: we often try to insult others with the words that were once used to hurt us. Did people used to call you stupid ? Have I ever called you that?
j,
You need to get your lies straight. The Arctic ice reached a contemporary low in 2012, increased in 2013 and decreased in 2014 and 2015.
You can see the trend in Arctic ice at: http://nsidc.org/cgi-bin/bist/bist.pl?config=seaice_extent_trends&submit=Go%21
You’re confused about Antarctica as well. The Antarctic ice cap is shrinking while Antarctic sea ice is showing a slight increased trend (although much lower in 2015).

Hold on there, Beavis.
According to data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, as of the end of December 2014, the extent of Arctic sea ice coverage, when compared to the year-end averages from 1981 through 2010, was less than 5% below normal. The average extent of Arctic sea ice coverage for the end of December from 1981 to 2010 is given as 13.06 million square kilometers. This year it was 12.52 million square kilometers, down about 4.1% from the average. This is about the same as the historic low in 2011-2012.

Also, according to data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, as of the end of December 2014, the extent of Antarctic sea ice coverage, when compared to the year-end averages from 1981 through 2010, was about 33% above normal. The average extent of Antarctic sea ice coverage for the end of December from 1981 to 2010 is shown as about 4.2 million square kilometers. This year it is shown as about 5.7 million square kilometers, up about 33% from the average. This is the greatest Antarctic ice coverage since records were kept.

So what was that bullshit about accuracy you were spouting?
Drowning puppies you are a bit confused here you see we are not talking about the average or maximum coverage we are talking about the MINIMUM ICE EXTENT
Which usually occurs in September
This also of course shows that the average VOLUMN of Arctic ice is way below average since sat coverage began
Rather silly if you not to understand and post about winter ice extent when we are talking about minimums
suckingpuppies,
I’m not surprised that you refer to “accuracy” as bullshit. Spreading misinformation is the stock and trade of conservatives. From economics to global warming to Planned Parenthood, it’s lie, lie, lie.
suckingpuppies,
And let me reiterate the truth.
The Arctic ice is melting. Yes, it bounces up and down, but the trend is significantly down. Only a propagandist would use the FACT that 2012 was a record low in Arctic ice surface extent as evidence that Arctic ice is recovering.
The massive Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are melting.
The Antarctic sea ice is increasing. Yes, it bounces up and down but the trend is slightly up. (Antarctic sea ice is way down in 2015 but the overall trend is up).
Now, liars like Anthony Watts and the Hockey Schmuck will try to distract you and mislead you with actual bullshit
