changes expected are: decreased frost risk, increased frequency of high temperatures, increased frequency of extreme daily rainfalls, decreased seasonal snow cover, and a possible increase in strong winds.

There are 2,000 miles of shoreline with 3-5 metre thick ice abutted, but the poor (soon to be extinct) Polar bears have to swim 500 miles to get an ice cube.
The rapidly melting Greenland ice sheet is accumulating ice so fast that they have to keep jacking the buildings up to keep them from getting buried.

The climate never changed during the 4.5 billion years prior to 1988, when CO2 hit 350 ppm.
How could there be dissent? Only corrupt infiltrators from capitalist enemies wanting to destroy workers paradise.
PolitiFact counters GOP claim, says ‘little dispute’ on science of climate change
By Andrew Restuccia – 08/15/11 10:13 AM ET
There “is very little dispute” among scientists that human beings are the main cause of climate change, PolitiFact said Sunday.“Based on our research, there is very little dispute in the scientific community, especially among climate specialists, on whether climate change is primarily caused by natural or man-made forces,” the website, which specializes in fact-checking the statements of politicians, said.
We find changes in background conditions that are opposite to those expected from greenhouse gas forcing in climate models and opposite to what is expected if changes in the background state are mediating more frequent occurrences of CP El Niños. A plausible interpretation of these results is that the character of El Niño over the past 31 years has varied naturally and that these variations projected onto changes in the background state because of the asymmetric spatial structures of CP and EP El Niños.
Tough to melt a lot of ice in those conditions. The Greenland ice sheet is melting down like crazy at -20C.
I posted a link to the Unisys SST anomaly map, and it was promptly deleted. No truth wanted in the global warming world.
