The Antarctic sea ice area anomaly is approximately +1.2 million squared kilometers (more ice than what is normal for the season), almost matching the peak reached in June 2008. Combined with a minor negative Northern sea ice area anomaly , the global sea ice area anomaly approaches huge +1.0 million squared kilometers... | 1_1 |
Urabe and Waki say their results imply that "algal diets composed of multiple species can mitigate the adverse effects of elevated CO 2 on herbivore performance," and that "in environments with high CO 2 , herbivores may find a new diet producer or a combination of producer species to best meet their nutritional demand... | 3_2 |

The four researchers conclude that "the close correlation between White Lake and the North Atlantic suggests that, in response to the decreased temperatures, the White Lake area climate expressed as periods of reduced moisture abundance," and, therefore, that "the Holocene 1500-year lake level fluctuations of White Lak... | 2_1 |
Moreover, the anti-hydrocarbon global warming "solutions" the Obama Administration is imposing will bring no real world benefits even assuming carbon dioxide actually drives climate change.

We also see an unambiguous response to warming in the environment: glaciers, combined Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, ocean heat storage, the ranges of species and so on. On a multi-decade time scale, there's no global indicator that presently shows cooling. | 0_0 |

The long-term hope for many greens is that we can get beyond hydrocarbons and burn just the first half of those compound fuels, the hydrogen. Hydrogen is abundant, they remind us; it's part of water. But water is what you end up with after you burn the hydrogen in the hydrocarbon-steam goes out the tailpipe and up the ... | 0_0 |

In fact, the increase in global average temperature over the past century has been about one degree Fahrenheit, which is less than the normal annual variability in North America.

1. Warming of the ocean causes expansion of water and therefore a sea level rise. Since 2004 we have the ARGO scheme where over 3,600 buoys measure temperatures down to a depth of two km. They reveal no warming of the oceans. This, of course, is consistent with the lack of global warming over the past 17 years. | 1_4 |

Therefore, most of the greenhouse effect is natural and caused by the different forms of water in the atmosphere. However, human activities over the last 100 years, like burning wood, coal, oil, and natural gas, have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by an amount equivalent to a fifty pe... | 2_1 |

One year ago, Roy Spencer released his new book, The Great Global Warming Blunder, in which he argued that the influence of the natural cloud cover variations on the temperature has been misinterpreted as the opposite influence and, therefore, a positive feedback.

Unfortunately, we do not yet have the institutional know-how and political will to implement such a cost-effective approach for reducing greenhouse gases on a global scale.

An excellent example of how the aristocracy rules the realm is the global warming issue.

The frequency of extreme floods also increased during the early and middle portions of the first millennium AD, many of which coincided "with glacial advances and cool, moist conditions both in the western U.S. and globally."
