ocean conditions are changing due to Rapid Global Climate Shift

Oh,---- back to global warming ---duh.

 

no cooling
or
flooding
or
drought
or more of the same as the last million or so years

 

Global warming !

It was plenty warm today..tee shirts, shorts, sunglasses.

Very fine winters day

 

Thanks for the PM imaginary number. I tried to send you one back but you have to wait 120 seconds --the second time I tried I had 58 seconds so I just got fed up with it.

Any way I see that Malaria is un controllable, !!!!! --what again and with dinghy fever ( sorry about the spelling, thats the American spell checker for you) and aids and oh ----Ille be dead within the week.

What with the heat and all and I sweat beer and cheap wine the mozzies take one bite and spit it out,----they don't like it.

I have also found that a good lather up with deisel before getting into bed keeps them away too.

Im more afraid of Elephantitis.

 

I agree... in a warming world the danger from malaria and Dingy fever is slight when compared to Elephantitis.

When the temperature rises, those Jumbo Tuskers get angry..........

I apologize for interrupting the banter, but the part of my brain's left side that handles compulsive proof reading and editing has managed to gain temporary control of the whole shebang....

The word your computer's spell check app couldn't find is dengue fever. But I'll bet you can catch it in a dinghy anyway, if it isn't supplied with mosquito netting.

I hope your long-suffering lady doesn't mind the smell of diesel. Or do you just use it when she's off visiting mama, which means the mosquitos can't sidetrack onto something tastier than you?

 

Come on Frosty if you were using a spell checker it would have flagged the hundred or so instances of "Ille" I've seen in the last few weeks. It's spelled "I'll" for crying out loud... as in "I'll be dead within the week".

Well, I read this just a few minutes ago that seems to rebutt your claims....

 

Spellcheckers check spelling, they don't correct ignorance.

 

Sam,
First of all I don't think I made any claims only experiential observations on my local weather conditions. And secondly the double speak you quoted from the climatologists is just that. Here they have observed both a 30 cooling trend starting in 1940 an another over the last decade from 2000 until 2010 and they still can't bring themselves to declare that this anything more then a blip? An anomoly? Mind you this blip occured during the run up to the solar maximum, so I'm only left wondering if they really have a handle on anything?

You see this is exactly the kind of confusion this topic typically generates. On the one hand scientific reports like this clearly show a cooling trend over a vast area over a sustained period of time and now they want me to believe it's just a blip...why not just take their word for it that it's actually getting warmer instead of colder...I'd be a lot less conflicted. The simple truth is that these guys can't say that it's getting colder even when the data they painstaking collected over the last ten years says that's the case.

Is it any wonder that the general public has so many misconceptions and misbeliefs on a topic that is so fundimentally crucial to our continued existence on this planet.

I also know that the environment and changing weather conditions have shaped our evolution as a species throughout human history. Civilizations have come and gone whole branchs of humanity wiped out in the blink of an eye because of something we have no control over and even now just barely understand. Heaven help us Sam because I'm more convinced now then ever that we don't have the ability to help ourselves.

You're in Spain right? On the water...what the heck do you expect? We should trade places for a month...I'd enjoy seeing the sun again.

Skeptical Science | Past 150,000 Years of Sea Level History Suggests High Rates of Future Sea Level Rise

Figure 1 - Sea level reconstruction from 150,000 years ago to the present. Relative sea level (RSL) in grey-shaded area, with RSL data in blue crosses. The downward-pointing red arrows indicates peaks in sea level rise exceeding 1.2 metres per century (12mm per year). The break in the record is due to the absence of foraminifera (upon which the reconstruction is based) as a result of excessively salty seawater during the last ice age.

dengue fever...dinghy fever

sorry Troy mate, Frosty was just keeping with the "boating" theme we have been instructed to keep......

 

i'll bet plenty of people have caught dengue in a dinghy, just another Darwinian disease, the old and sick die first.
( or these days that's also a pension deficit saver for governments)

 

OK, so you posted that article as an example of climatologists doublespeak and not as evidence that Al Gore is wrong? I guess the one comment to the article wasn't yours then,

I agree, misleading articles like that do cause confusion. Taking the facts from a short time period over a small area and suggesting they represent long term trends worldwide is pretty confusing. Pandering comes to mind. Trying to sell articles to folks who think that "renaming " "global warming" to "global climate change" is a conspiracy to change the issue, when all it is is widening the debate. Global warming is one part of climate change.

You do know that increased precipitation (snow) is a sign of global warming, right? And that while the lower part of Alaska got 2.3F colder, the upper part got 3F warmer and the polar ice cap is rapidly disappearing while shipping traffic and military security issues are expanding exponentially?

That guy who made the comment above should read stuff by cynical, business minded conservatives, like at Forbes magazine, if he wants the facts.
