    Now Hoyt!

    There you go spreading that anti-warming propaganda.

    YOU know there has been NO snow in 40 years! The Big Brother has told us so, and we must believe the Offices of Disinformation.

    Biggest Brother Orwell prophesied the take over by Big Brother, and he was right. Last year we were at war with Asian terrorists and this year with Middle Eastern Terrorists. But, we NEVER CHANGED ....

    Remember, global warming for 40 years since the last snow fall. But, Big Brother promised us synthetic snow, and they delivered synthetic snow.

    :p

    Nothing to do with science but this is reality today (from http://www.arctic-lio.com/nsr_ice )

    'The navigation season for transit passages on NSR starts approximately at the beginning of July and lasts through to the second half of November. There are no specific dates for commencement and completion of navigation; it all depends on particular ice conditions. In 2011 the navigation season on the NSR seaways for large vessels constituted 141 days in total, i.e. more than 4.5 months. In recent years quite easy ice conditions have been observed and that offers more considerable opportunities for operation at the NSR seaways. All NSR seaways are currently located in the area of one-year ice. In the arctic conditions one-year ice grows approximately up to 1.6 metres. Arktika-type icebreaker can open passages through up to 2.3m thick ice. In early July, at the beginning of navigation ice is not pressurized. The ice is broken and easily moved through. In September and October the NSR seaways can be completely free of ice. The vessel may have the same speed as in the open waters. A voyage from Cape Zhelaniya in Novaya Zemlya to the Bering Strait can be travelled at the speed of 14 knots within 8 days. In November the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea are covered with new ice up to 30sm that allows for safe pilotage of a vessel supported by an icebreaker. Therefore, in the current ice conditions vessels can navigate from July until December.'

    A bit more than a simple one time a season route I'd say..

    what does navigation season mean ? I assume this is when the authorities activate aids to navigation and the shipping safety infratruture

    LEAST ACTIVE HURRICANE SEASON IN 30 YEARS

    so much for the global warming to spawn more and massive hurricanes, recall the dramatic warnings of this a few years prior?

    But they do not give in do they, if hundred years went by and things stay as they are they will not give in or admit anything else except that global warming causes more massive storms and more of them.

    Blizzards are weather, not climate. They are not seen in the low latitude zones at low elevations as far as I know.

    from the story above:


    "We already knew that coral reefs are very susceptible to temperature change, and our models show that they are going to be impacted the least,"... "So you can imagine what it's going to be like for other ecosystems…"

    what does this mean? Reefs are susceptible, but will be impacted the least? Isn't that good? And if the most susceptible parts of the system are affected the least, how is that bad for the other eco systems?

    If the logic is correct, if the most susceptible has little impact, than would not the less susceptible have even less impact? Or is this intended to be some obleak way of saying what they thought was susceptible was not so much, and everything else might have an even larger impact? Either this is rather poor grammar, or they are speaking gibberish, near as i can tell.

    If we can not even understand what they mean, than how are we to judge what they want us to know?

    http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/deep-water-corals-show-the-great-barrier-reef-holds-surprises

    " Deep-water corals, which aren't dependent on light, have been found thousands of feet deep, while Puerto Rico is home to the deepest light-dependent reefs yet found, which have been observed as deep as 500 feet."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-water_coral

    "The habitat of deep-water corals, also known as cold-water corals, extends to deeper, darker parts of the oceans than tropical corals, ranging from near the surface to the abyss, beyond 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) where water temperatures may be as cold as 4°C."
