We used to hear that about the warming theory, now not so much. So is warming a conspiracy ? Were the real academics with real theories being shut out from publishing ?

Most MSM, including Post Media, aren't covering the science, they're only covering whatever science reinforces their ideology. The unspun facts aren't in the news and aren't even in many of the scientific academic journals anymore because of the politics of it all. This topic is yet another form of biased propoganda, posted only because it reinforces Argus' ideology. How does Argus know what is the truth or not among the reported science? How would I? How would Lawrence Solomon of Post Media? Are any of us climate scientists? It's a joke. Who are you to say that Post Media has more credibility than most mainstream sources in Canada? Oh wait, they reinforce your own political ideology. Again, it's all political, it's all a joke.

poochy Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Also, no doubt some have heard that it's 30 degrees warmer than normal in the arctic, well, that's partly bs, yes, a small area has been warm, however today, as it was yesterday, our high arctic has been quite seasonable.

I think that you saying that the Arctic is 15 degrees warmer is pushing it just a little. 15 degrees is a hell of a lot. Maybe there is some extra melting going on in the Arctic but the last I read was that the Antarctic is growing lot's of snow. I guess it all comes down to who is right. The global warming liberal scientists or the non-global warming conservative scientists. One has to be telling the truth, but who? Anyway, I fail to see why the people of today are so concerned about what may happen in the future to the Arctic when all the ice and snow melts in the Arctic because there is nothing anybody can do about it. Most likely most of us living today will not be around to maybe see it all go green. Here in Vancouver it has been bloody cold and it has been snowing for weeks now. There is no global warming going on here right now. It is more like global cooling happening right now. I must admit that I would not mind some global warming happening here right now. I miss my green colored grass, and want the white colored grass gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have those little satellite thingys that can take actual pictures that show us the lack of ice. But yes we'll not live long enough to see the harsher effects of GW but if you had young children and lived in Mexico, you could expect them to see them when they can't grow food anymore. We will actually benefit in Canada, for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all go back to Africa from whence we are suppose to have come from in the beginning. And once the people from the western world move into Africa they will make it a better place to live than what the people living there now are doing with the place. There will be running tap water and electrical power to light up all our toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, with global warming you just might end up living in Alaska or the Yukon one day, and basking in the sun on some beach in 75 degree temperatures. Cool, I mean warm.

Michael Hardner Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 No, Suzuki is a media environmentalist. 'Many have speculated' is right, but no scientist has shown solar activity correlations with temperature gain. http://www.dw.com/en/temperatures-at-north-pole-undergo-heat-wave/a-36902966 Here's the source on current Arctic temperatures, but I want to point out that I am against using weather as a marker on principle. Otherwise, we'll be stuck talking about why warming isn't happening because it's cold today in Winnipeg. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have speculated that our climate warming or cooling over time is far more closely related to what happens with the sun than anything else. Nobody here is claiming David Suzuki is an expert in climate science. As for the sun and the climate I will bring your attention to this link. https://www.skepticalscience.com/solar-activity-sunspots-global-warming-intermediate.htm Well cited and has good explanations of all the climate arguments. As supplier of almost all the energy in Earth's climate, the sun has a strong influence on climate. A comparison of sun and climate over the past 1150 years found temperatures closely match solar activity (Usoskin 2005). However, after 1975, temperatures rose while solar activity showed little to no long-term trend. This led the study to conclude, "...during these last 30 years the solar total irradiance, solar UV irradiance and cosmic ray flux has not shown any significant secular trend, so that at least this most recent warming episode must have another source."

-1=e^ipi Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 The title of this thread is misleading. The little ice age was caused by changes in solar output, and is not an actual ice age. Ice ages last much longer and are caused by milankovitch cycles, not by chances in solar irradiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
