If you are going to just make numbers up, why not make them really impressive?
When ministers of the eight-nation Arctic Council meet in Greenland May 12 to discuss a variety of issues crucial to the polar region they will have the benefit of two reports commissioned by the Council on the changing climate and how to best respond to accelerating warming.
The first report produced by the Council’s scientific arm updates the assessment made by the United Nations Panel on Climate Change in 2007. Leading American glaciologist Gordon Hamilton at the University of Maine says arctic conditions have changed dramatically since then. “With our new understanding on how ice sheets are behaving and how they are responding to climate change, we can say that the IPCC estimate for sea level rise from 18-59 centimeters is a very large underestimate and we are looking at something probably at least twice as large as the upper end of the estimate. So we are expecting one meter of sea level rise by 2100.”
Gold and silver prices have gone way up this year.
The carbon credit market is looking pretty weak though. Apparently people don’t want to invest in a product that is completely worthless.
Pink Marker Saturation.
Hot flashes – when GISS replaces all those boring Arctic grey areas of no data with hot pink.
Earlier this year, our leading scientific minds explained to us that the record cold in Florida in December was due the fact that 2010 was the hottest year ever. That explanation seems perfectly reasonable (assuming you are on crack.)
However, I have uncovered evidence that record cold in Florida occurred without record heat. At one time, cold was actually caused by cold.
Disclaimer : As the globe heats up past the next tipping point, we know that it is going to become “inhabitably” cold in Florida. I expect to see millions of climate refugees fleeing Florida and moving to Winnipeg.
