Shucks I better get down there with my superchared Hummer H2 before the ice is gone and I can't do a scenic tour there.

I'll do my part to save us from another ice age. I think I'll drive the land cruiser tomorrow.

OH NO! it's warmed up .6 degrees in 50 years!?
What's going to happen to the poor penguins if the temperature goes up to -49F? The humanity of it all....I need a drink

"A much bigger question is whether the new analysis of Antarctic warming heralds any major melting in the West Antarctic ice sheet, which could lead to big changes in sea level and global impacts."

This new evidence you noted in the thread title was charted some 9 years ago.
From:http://www.daviesand.com/Choices/Precautionary_Planning/New_Data/  Looking at that chart, I can't help but see a pattern. Temperature & CO2 spike up, and slowly drop back down. Without human intervention. I also can't help but see that the antarctic ice has been almost 2 degrees warmer in the past and still survived. Where did all those poor penguins go when their habitat was destroyed at least 3 times before? I know, shallow arguments. But at least I'm providing some counterpoint and not another comment to a comment.

Trouble is, Is when some one pays them to find a problem..they DAM well will find it, write endless books papers reports about it..That is the problem with agendas
What I cant figure out -if Water freezes at (what ever salt ice water freezes at) Is it not still frozen if you raise the temp a few deg. ?

I'm still waiting for someone to tell us what is the correct Temp for the Earth.

you must have missed the part about sea levels & flooding...
idontknow - did you see the huge spike in CO2 (in red) at the RH side of your graph -- that is from us. Don't expect it to drop back down unless we change the way we do things... |

Fools! It isn't the penguins we should be worrying about. It's the "Thing".

I'd be more impressed with evidence that the temperature had remained perfectly constant over any 50 year period in history.

So your saying that C02 and temp do not have a linear relationship.
I'd be more worried on finding out who was driving SUV's 125,000 years ago - we need to talk to those folks. In reality I think we need to be more worried about that Asteroid 2006 XG1 in 2041 that's supposed to pass between us and the moon. Now that could raise the sea levels - talk about surf's up.
