Antarctica is likely to be the world’s only habitable continent by the end of this century if global warming remains unchecked, the Government’s chief scientist, Professor Sir David King, said last week.
He said the Earth was entering the “first hot period” for 60 million years, when there was no ice on the planet and “the rest of the globe could not sustain human life”. The warning – one of the starkest delivered by a top scientist – comes as ministers decide next week whether to weaken measures to cut the pollution that causes climate change, even though Tony Blair last week described the situation as “very, very critical indeed”.
I’ll bet Saddam hid his WMDs in Antarctica.

What’s wrong with him, does he think humans need ICE to live? These lunatics completely forget that cold is much more dangerous than hot. In fact, humans were very close to being wiped out a couple of times during the last two glaciations.
When there is prolonged drought, due to man-made warming. When there is prolonged rains and winter, also due to man-made warming, http://funwithgovernment.blogspot.com/2010/12/global-warming-can-lead-to-deep-freeze.html
even in today’s idiocracy i have a very difficult time believing someone remotely educated could say this stuff.
he is therefore lying
peterhodges
you have an update on Sierra snow total?
Sadam knew that if he staked his claim early in Antarctica, he could rule the world when the rest of it became a boiling cauldron.
🙂
You want Saddam’s WMD? Go poke around in Syria.
You’re probably right…. or buried in the vastness of sand somewhere.
I remember reading YEARS prior to Desert Storm that the UN uncovered (nuclear)
centrifuge components during one inspection.
I find it odd they continue to double down. Makes no sense to me.
CAGW is too big to fail.
LOL!!!!!
:-):-):-)
First, the article is from 2004, and all of his facts are wrong.
But, assume he’s right.
What was the next thing that happened when CO2 levels were that high?
…the planet went into another ice age
Hadley has published the November anomaly:
2010 will NOT be a record year, February 1998 stays the hottest HadCrut month, and the trend since 1998 is DOWN.
Alex, do they have a link for that?
:=)
Alexej, I can’t find any new data at their site, either. You got links?
This what you’re after?
Latest HadCRUT3 Anomalies
Lucia at the Blackboard has a link:
http://rankexploits.com/musings/2010/hadcrut-nh-sh-temperature-rose-in-november/#comments
It opens with WordPad.
It is 0.431, and it is not yet noted in the usual place.
Actually, I was looking here, http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/
but I see that it hasn’t made it there, yet. But I appreciate the link. Thanks.
November may have risen but December will plunge.
Thanks Alex!
Nice! With the whole country freezing to death, they probably realized there wasn’t enough lipstick to hide the pig.

This leaves GISS out on a limb that is easily cut off. James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt are by themselves out there. These November number should be making them sweat.
I think it would have been foolish for CRU to try to convince the UK population that 2010 is the hottest year ever will the harsh winter weather, and “record coldest ever” happening in locations there. I think they know they are being watched closely since ClimateGate and there just is now way they could have gotten away with adjusting temperatures to make 2010 hottest, or even tied for hottest, year ever.
I still suspect the Met Office will go with the GISS figures and downplay their own HADCRUT ones.
They should exile Dr. King to Antarctica if he thinks it’s so wonderful, where he can spew his BS to the penguins!
Well, actually he hid them in Syria, and they’re probably scattered to all four corners of the earth by now:

At least in Antarctica people don’t have to live with “President” Obama’s “real cool stuff.”
The weather voted “President” Obama out. Not one minute too soon!
These alarmists are like the Python sketch on Yorkshiremen – where they each in turn come up with ever more ludicrous stories on how tough their childhood was.
Yes…but just think for a moment: all the snowcones you could ever possibly eat!
