Real Climate Science

The American polar expert Robert Correll, among the key contributors to the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report issued in February, described the acceleration as “massive”.

Estimates of the likely rise in sea levels this century vary, and the IPCC published a conservative range of between 20cm-60cm. But those estimates are now heavily disputed, with many scientists insisting that new data collected since the IPCC report suggested a rise closer to two metres. Professor Correll said there was now a “consensus” that a significant acceleration in the loss of ice mass has occurred since the last report.

Massive Greenland meltdown? Not so fast, say scientists

a team led by Faezeh Nick of Durham University in Britain found that neither of these scenarios matched the data.

“They simply don’t fit what we have observed,” said colleague and co-author Andreas Vieli in an interview.

The UK’s top scientist says that Antarctica will soon be the only place on Earth which supports human life!

2004: 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 plane and “the rest of the globe could not sustain human life”

The IRA remodeled Manchester on June 15, 1996 – and it happened again today. Probably the most exciting match I have ever seen.

But why did Mancini wait so long to put Balotelli in?

As Glaciers Melt, Science Seeks Data on Rising Seas

TASIILAQ, Greenland — With a tense pilot gripping the stick, the helicopter hovered above the water, a red speck of machinery lost in a wilderness of rock and ice.

Hanging out the sides of the craft, two scientists sent a measuring device plunging into the water, between ice floes. Near the bottom, it reported a temperature of 40 degrees. It was the latest in a string of troubling measurements showing that the water was warm enough to melt glaciers rapidly from below.

“That’s the highest we’ve seen this far up the fjord,” said one of the scientists, Fiammetta Straneo.

The temperature reading was a new scrap of information in the effort to answer one of the most urgent — and most widely debated — questions facing humanity: How fast is the world’s ice going to melt?

As a result of recent calculations that take the changes into account, many scientists now say that sea level is likely to rise perhaps three feet by 2100 — an increase that, should it come to pass, would pose a threat to coastal regions the world over.

And the calculations suggest that the rise could conceivably exceed six feet, which would put thousands of square miles of the American coastline under water and would probably displace tens of millions of people in Asia.

In 1986, Hansen told us that the heat would be unbearable by 2006.

John Cook says that Hansen’s forecast from the 1981 was conservative, because “global warming hadn’t really begun to kick in”

Paul Ehrlich – 1972

Ehrlich told us last month that his earlier predictions proved to be correct.

The BBC announced this week that climate skeptics are like terrorists and pedophiles.

They also told us that the Arctic will be ice free by 2013.

Four years ago, BOM’s leading expert declared that Australia was in a permanent drought.

IT MAY be time to stop describing south-eastern Australia as gripped by drought and instead accept the extreme dry as permanent, one of the nation’s most senior weather experts warned yesterday.

“Perhaps we should call it our new climate,” said the Bureau of Meteorology’s head of climate analysis, David Jones.
