50/50 chance you can sail to North Pole this summer

[NEON DEON]

"There is no land at the North Pole, but as long as anyone has looked, it has remained a giant block of ice year-round. Scientists have been watching Arctic sea ice melt more and more each year. But each summer in recent years, the amount of ice has gotten thinner and thinner. Each winter's freeze, therefore, results in a thinner pack that, this summer, could melt altogether."

GW is a myth:p

A. This may simply be a scare tactic and...
B. If this happens with below average historic tempuratures (remember we are still on the way out of our mini Ice-Age and still below the 3000 year average), then this is a normal event and of no concern.

C.) A "normal" event who's onset is being accelerated by man made emissions.

Yes, ice melts, and things come and go, but not this fast.

Things that have existed for 1000's of years should not be disspaearing in the timespan of a 100 years.

Huh? Man made? Where? No proof and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has no effect on climate.

And a good point was made by a climate scientist about two weeks ago - He said all this data is flawed. Man can't even accurately predict the weather in a week, and he basically said anyone that thinks data for 10 years out, let alone longer into the future, is basically an idiot - his words more or less.

I'd say he has a point.

Id say this idiotic debate is pointless. Who cares? The world leaders say there is global warming. Chimpy says there is Global Warming. Its obvious the deniers are going to go on just like the Moon Hoax people of last generation so why even bother?

My kids. My niece. My neighbors kids. My friends children. They all seem to shive a git about what will happen in their lifetime. I don't blame them.
