International Polar Bear Day

[pjclarke]

I am not so much worried about the snow or ice, it's the fact that entire nations will be wiped off the face of the earth by rising seas.

And will happen as soon as the year 2000


er...wait....

Check out Al Gore....

Al Gore in his own words

I'm sure you probably agree with him.

Enjoy

Fool. One video deleted, in the other, from 2009, Gore says

“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,

Not a firm prediction, and not for 2013. The best you can do? Try again. We'll wait.

In his Nobel acceptance speech, after the rate of decline accelerated sharply (see PIOMAS above), Gore did say ....

Last September 21 (2007), as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is "falling off a cliff." One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years.

So, as ever, what he said was backed up by the science as it stood at the time.

Not the tabloids.

Arctic Sea Ice and Al Gore's "Prediction 2013"

[BlasterBates]

Al gore said there was a 75% chance of an ice free Pole, and in 2014, and I will emphasise this

IN 2014 THERE WAS MORE ICE THAN IN 2009

Fool.

I love statements like that...smacks of losing the argument.

I am trying to avoig getting dragged into the never ending AGW debate - but surely comparing 2 individual years is meaningless?

I wish sas was here to explain...

Of course it is. But, given the facts, its all he can do. In big bold letters.

Anyone following this thread and with basic reading skills can see that's not right.

It's all about context. statistics in themselves proof nothing

No. The Postal Charge hypothesis has been discredited. Its Pirates.
