Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

National Snow and Ice Data Center: Arctic sea ice extent for June 2008 is close to that for 2007, which went on to reach the lowest minimum since at least 1979. More notably, however, satellite data indicate that melt began significantly earlier than last year over most of the Arctic Ocean. The large area of the Arctic Ocean covered by first-year ice (described in our June analysis) coupled with the early onset of melting may mean more rapid and more severe summer ice retreat than last year.

A great opportunity is opening up to build a beach resort at the Arctic.

This is anecdotal evidence for global warming if you ignore all anecdotes to the contrary. And what evidence is there that man has anything to do with this? The earth has been a lot warmer than it is now and a lot colder. I'll take warmer and keep the A/C on full blast.

I think global warming is a farce. Just another reason for environmentalist nuts to try to make me live like them...

Fat Zat must be getting frustrated. This is the second time he posted this article and all he gets is laughed at.

This "melting" is just a theory. Nobody can prove that this "melting" even exists. Besides, things have allegedly been "melting" since before people were around therefore people aren't causing this "melting".
Billions of automobiles and factories would have no effect on a closed environmental system.
Why bother driving more fuel efficient vehicles?
Why do I have to pay so much for gas?
Why should we use less gasoline?
Why do I have to pay so much for gas?

You really should do a little research before you lie, Ray.

This article is July 2, 2008.

Conserving fuel and creating less pollution is a nutty environmentalist idea. Conservatives are against conservation.

Ice is Melting?? Great!!!! Now I can get a clean glass of cold clear water(Proving You don't have hard water and a God awful charcoal filter) What a refreshing idear. Thanks Zat I'll take 1000 gallons of the stuff.

The article maybe brand new.
But it's the same old spew.
Global Warming is real they say.
They preach to it every single day.
But when You're frozen to death.
As You see Your last bitter breath.
Remind them how stupid they have become
To believe in something utterly dumb.
If global warming is real
You sure got a raw deal.

Enviromental nuts, as you call them, are interested in creating a sustainable future for all of mankind.

You are merely content to spout right wing talking points supplied to you by the global warming denial iundustry paid for by BigOil and other major polluters.

Good luck explaining to yer progeny why they are gonna inherit a world much diminished from the one they were born into.

There is no question, at this point, as to whether or not the Man Made Global Warming and Man Made Climate Change Crisis is real.

The only real question is "Wot to do now?"

If you can't sit down with the adults and discuss these issues rationally then just go in the corner and fling poo like the rest of yer brain dead bretheren on the right.

And then, of course, Larry's "Who thought this up."

"1859
Tyndall discovers that some gases block infrared radiation. He suggests that changes in the concentration of the gases could bring climate change."

Typical liberal selfishness....

Shhh... Adults are speaking now.

Such childish taunts spud, now you go get into your half car (as no one else could fit in it but you) sputter along now..

No one thought this up, Larry.
It started with an OBSERVATION.
Some gases let visible light pass through but don't let infrared (heat) pass through.
Most of the sun's radiant energy is yellow visible light if you haven't noticed. That heats the Earth, which radiates in the infrared. The more greenhouse gas, the more infrared is trapped.
The big one happens to be CO2.
It's the way the world works.
If you don't like it, tough.

I'm not petty so I don't pay attention to spelling errors like you or Fat Zat would.

Ray, pay attention "...If you can't sit down with the adults and discuss these issues rationally then just go in the corner and fling poo like the rest of yer brain dead bretheren on the right."

I tried. But when a moron insists scientific truths are decided by computer models and majority consensus, then rational debate is impossible.

Not since I graduated in 1972. In those days we did lab experiments to prove the theories work.

Computer models can be massaged to prove anything. Too many scientists like Fat Zat are on the government dole. It's a good bet that every one who subscribes to this bullshit is dependent on government.

You mean they use computer models in declaring Global Warming is real?? My God that is about as bad as having a computer declare You're the Handsomest person on earth and no one can compete against You. No wonder global Warming fruits sound so far out there dude.

Sure--let's talk about that--the only problem is, you don't listen.


www.washingtonpost.com

while NASA, NOAA, all SCIENCE publications, every major UNIVERSITY, most SCIENTISTS say global warming is real, RUSH says it's a hoax. Now if you were a dumb shit, who would you listen to?

"Now if you were a dumb shit, who would you listen to?"

Uhhh...the ones raking in the money?

Sure--let's talk about that--the only problem is, you don't listen.

Your link is from Friday, March 3, 2006. Anything more current?

From Buffalo's article:

more research is needed to determine if the shrinkage is a long-term trend, because the new report is based on just three years of data.

Only three years? Wow, I wanna base my lifestyle on THIS!!!

Also from the article:

Oregon state climatologist George Taylor noted that sea ice in some areas of Antarctica is expanding and part of the region is getting colder, despite computer models that would predict otherwise.

Is that a self retorting retort?

"Uhhh...the ones raking in the money?"
you are absolutely right! Rush makes a hell of a lot more money than a NASA scientist plus the average research professor only gets around 74,000 a year. so the dumb shits certainly will listen to rich Rush.

it's easy to lie to dumb shits!

"Is that a self retorting retort?"

No, it's an outright lie.

George Taylor states his opinion, he has produced no research nor study nor peer reviewed article to support his opinion, his opinion is aimed at dumb shits that won't read the science.

"Rush makes a hell of a lot more money than a NASA scientist plus the average research professor only gets around 74,000 a year."

Is it your contention that Rush is making all that money from calling the global warming issue a scam?
Is that "research professor" relying on government funding to have a job?

"it's easy to lie to dumb shits!"

Evidently so. You and Algore have a lot of dumb shits believing your rubbish.

"You and Algore have a lot of dumb shits believing your rubbish. "

from a guy that won't look at NASA's data, at US GOV data, at any valid science, and doesn't know what "peer reviewed" means, and he call others dumb, WOW!

by the way Gore is not a scientist, his views are of no interest to me, only to dumb shits like you that are totally unaware of the science.

I agree with THIS guy....dumbshit

"Today's interpreters of the weather are what social scientists call availability entrepreneurs: the activists, journalists and publicity-savvy scientists who selectively monitor the globe looking for newsworthy evidence of a new form of sinfulness, burning fossil fuels.

A year ago, British meteorologists made headlines predicting that the buildup of greenhouse gases would help make 2007 the hottest year on record. At year's end, even though the British scientists reported the global temperature average was not a new record it was actually lower than any year since 2001 the BBC confidently proclaimed, "2007 Data Confirms Warming Trend."

When the Arctic sea ice last year hit the lowest level ever recorded by satellites, it was big news and heralded as a sign that the whole planet was warming. When the Antarctic sea ice last year reached the highest level ever recorded by satellites, it was pretty much ignored. A large part of Antarctica has been cooling recently, but most coverage of that continent has focused on one small part that has warmed."

Oh...and here's your peer review, try to read the whole thing. It has some big words so just take your time...dumbshit. LOL

the good news is that the dumb shit minority is getting smaller and their influence is waning!

Anyone seeing the irony?

Rush barely graduated from high school. He flunked everything in college and dropped out without completing a full year.

"your link contained no peer reviewed science supporting your view,.."

Wasn't meant to. It DID however, quote some social SCIENTISTS (you like that word) who say they your SCIENTISTS are "availability entrepreneurs." I like that.
As far as I'm concerned the only valid "peer-reviewed" material comes from Zatoitchi's scientific, peer-reviewed pool.


"Rush barely graduated from high school. He flunked everything in college and dropped out without completing a full year."

I really don't know anything about Rush other than you and your little friends hate him and he's rich. I guess he's doing something right then.

"Oh that's impressive. {yawn}"

It's quite obvious that neither you nor OFFA read any of the article. It very emphatically disproves your precious "peer-reviewed" status of the global warming report. The opening statements probably turned you off:


"The IPCC would have us believe that its reports are diligently reviewed by many hundreds of scientists and that these reviewers endorse the contents of the report. An analysis of the reviewers' comments for the scientific assessment report by Working Group I show a very different and very worrying story.
The comments for Working Group I are the only set of reviewers' comments to be made available to the public, and only then thanks to use of US Freedom of Information laws rather than a willingness on the part of the IPCC to allow people to examine the material. Surely all people should be able to examine the involvement and thinking of their governments and the reviewers from their own countries because it is the people who will most certainly bear the economic and political costs of any resultant actions.

"Perhaps the IPCC is simply worried that exposing the reviewers' comments and the responses to those comments to close scrutiny will reveal the delusions of thoroughness and widespread consensus."'

"The notion of hundreds of experts diligently poring over all chapters of the report and providing extensive feedback by way of peer review to the editing teams is here demonstrated to be an illusion. The true picture is there were some 64 reviewers for each chapter, of whom half made very few comments. Most comments were minor drafting amendments."

when absolutely no proof is referred to as it "disproves your precious...", you know you are talking to a right winger. (an ignorant one at that)

ONNA...have you been eating tofu? I'm worried about you, boy. You need to see this SCIENTIFIC report. I think it has been peer-reviewed about as well as the IPCC reports.

"I think it has been peer-reviewed"

translation, JGA doesn't know what "peer reviewed" means! Also JGA doesn't know that IPCC report was not peer reviewed, the science behind the report was peer reviewed.
just confirmation that JGA doesn't know the term!

Ray says "my peers are as good as your peers"

for those interested, here's the definition of "peer reviewed":
en.wikipedia.org

"Ray says "my peers are as good as your peers"

Ray's right!

If ONNA read the article at all, he has a problem with reading comprehension. It states that there WAS no "peer review" such as ONNA and his little friends would have us believe. It probably IS true that the boy has been pigging out on tofu.

news.bbc.co.uk

And THAT may not be his biggest problem.

www.wnd.com

McCain asked his science advisors to report on the climate change issue as he initially did not agree with the consensus, after reviewing the actual science he came out in full support of the climate change issue. instead of looking at tofu articles JGA should google the issue and find his minority view is ridiculed.

every US Gov agency accepts climate change (global warming)
a few examples:
JGA should link to link to NASA's view on climate change
www.nasa.gov

or to link to NOAA's view on global warming
www.ncdc.noaa.gov

neither eat tofu!
there is no science on the denialists side, just talking points

also check military viewpoints
really glad your view is in the small minority, you view it as a political issue, most view it as a scientific issue

BUFFALO BOB: "Why don't we talk about the Anartic"

Two problems with your Smart Ass Remark!

1. You qoute the Washington Compost which has little creditability. (Not quite as bad as the NY Slime)

2. The article is over two years old. Get with the current data.

Now that even Bush and McBush admit that global warming is real it just seems like a waste of time to even read and consider the posts of deniers.
Their futile attempts to convince much of anyone that this is some sort of plot by Al Gore just makes them seem increasingly comical and irrelevant.
Flat Earth Society is very likely a place where their views would be seriously considered and I suggest that they start directing their uninformed opinions in that direction. The rest of us are losing patience with such intentional ignorance.

seems to me everyone is missing the point of global warming......the issue is "man made" global warming which is the hoax.

I don't disagree with global warming; this ol' earth has been cooling and warming way before man ever walked on it. what I do disagree on (if osama is elected) is a global warming tax on the american people. this tax WILL NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN the so called global warming

thank God I am rich otherwise this might concern me.

Earlier than normal: Humm, just what is normal for this planet which has a proven record of going through cycles of hot and cold ages even before man's existence, and will the scientists step forward who can claim to start or stop one of these cycles - PLEASE!

Sounds like a sign from above - no permafrost to drill through? Set up the rigs boys this should save at least a season or two...

It's at least possible that it's a cycle we're (the earth) going through and I'm pretty sure that the pole shifts have been proven to happen every 100K years or so, we're due it would seem.

The north pole is shifting towards Siberia from Greenland. Not an atypical event as it wanders a bit anyway. Some people think the Mayan prediction for 2012 involves a polar swap. That would rock everyone's world.
