According to the Democratic Party platform, CO2 is the cause of climate change. I wonder what caused the seventy-five long year 13th century drought which wiped out the Anasazi?
Do we really want to let the party of superstition and division stink up the White House for four more years?
When The Arctic Institute posted the garbage below in all seriousness, David Appell forgot to accuse them of distortion.
If this trend persists over the coming years we could experience an ice free Arctic Ocean by the summer of 2015.

When I post the same graph to point out its nonsensical nature, David Appell accuses me of distortion.

Besides the early winter storm which broke up the ice in August, another unusual wind event contributed strongly to this summer’s “record low” ice extent.
In early June, strong winds blew open a large hole in the Beaufort Sea. This happened when the sun was high in the sky, and led to a lot of unusual sea surface warming – which later melted a lot of ice.
The Met Office predicted that half the years between 2011 and 2015 would be warmer than 2010. Besides their mathematics problem of picking half of an odd number (five years) that forecast is on the verge of failing – after two years much cooler than 2010.
Their El Nino is rapidly falling apart too. Wouldn’t it be great if climatologists learned a little bit of math and science?

If you don’t have anything new to say, don’t post it here.
since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt has increased by $45,848 per household—or about 50 percent
This is of course before interest is accumulated. Make it a few hundred thousand after interest. If you lined up 16 trillion dollar bills, they would go to the sun and back – eight times.
After the 2007 Arctic wind event, the community of “experts” took full advantage of the propaganda opportunity and started forecasting imminent meltdowns.

After I posted this graph, alarmists started screaming that “my graph” was unrealistic, and that experts had written papers explaining why it would take much longer. David Appell went so far as to say this
Unbelievable stupidity on display. I post alarmist’s useless forecasts and alarmist’s useless data, and they come back with references to some obscure paper explaining why their own data and forecasts are useless. Didn’t the experts above read the paper?
Then David Appell accuses me of distortion. No David, you are just incapable of rational or objective thought. Your team wants to have it both ways. They want to be able to make stupid alarmist forecasts, and the same time pretend to be doing serious science.

One of Canada’s top northern researchers says the permanent Arctic sea ice that is home to the world’s polar bears and usually survives the summer has all but disappeared.
Experts around the world believed the ice was recovering because satellite images showed it expanding. But David Barber says the thick, multiyear frozen sheets crucial to the northern ecosystem have been replaced by thin “rotten” ice which can’t support the weight of the bears.
“It caught us all by surprise because we were expecting there to be multiyear sea ice – the whole world thought it was multiyear sea ice,” said Dr. Barber, who just returned from an expedition to the Beaufort Sea.
“Unfortunately what we found was that the multiyear [ice]has all but disappeared. What’s left is this remnant, rotten ice.”

But it is worse than it seems. According to PIOMAS, the ice is much thinner now than it was in 2009 – when all that was left was thin, rotten first-year ice.
