  1. Who gives a shit about the stupid polar bears? Certainly conservatives don't.

    NOAA recently released 58 years worth of climate data showing no global warming whatsoever.

    Global Warming is a scam, a tax scam that is redistributive. Simple as that. Its a big nothing burger.

    Antarctica at Risk of Runaway Melting, Scientists Discover

    "The world’s greatest reservoir of ice is verging on a breakdown that could push seas to heights not experienced since prehistoric times, drowning dense coastal neighborhoods during the decades ahead, new computer models have shown.

    A pair of researchers developed the models to help them understand high sea levels during previous eras of warmer temperatures. Then they ran simulations using those models and found that rising levels of greenhouse gases could trigger runaway Antarctic melting that alone could push sea levels up by more than three feet by century’s end.

    The same models showed that Antarctica’s ice sheet would remain largely intact if the most ambitious goals of last year’s Paris agreement on climate change are achieved.

    The new findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature, helping to fill yawning gaps in earlier projections of sea level rise.

    The models were produced by a collaboration between two scientists that began in the 1990s. In those models, rising air temperatures in Antarctica caused meltwater to seep into cracks in floating shelves of ice, disintegrating them and exposing sheer cliffs that collapsed under their own weight into the Southern Ocean.

    Similar effects of warming are already being observed in Greenland and in some parts of Antarctica, as greenhouse gas pollution from fossil fuels, farming and deforestation warms the air. Last year was the hottest on record, easily surpassing a record set one year earlier. The ice sheets are also being melted from beneath by warming ocean temperatures.

    “Sea level has risen a lot — 10 to 20 meters — in warm periods in the past, and our ice sheet models couldn’t make the Antarctic ice sheet retreat enough to explain that,” said David Pollard, a Penn State climate scientist who produced Wednesday’s study with UMass professor Robert DeConto.

    “We were looking for new mechanisms that could make the ice more vulnerable to climate warming to explain past sea level rise,” Pollard said...."

    Miami is in big trouble. NYC is not far behind.

  6. Due to erosion from rising seas and stronger storms my neighbor's house was condemned. She is an elderly lady and had worked all her life to get it and had vowed to only leave feet first. I do not know where she went. Her house was carted away. She and it victims of man made global warming.

    Its amazing how the entire world is covered in cloud cover today. My first instinct is to see if there is correlation with wind patterns and when the whole world is covered with clouds [although notice it is not raining much].

    Hmmmm..

    sunny and warm as I type... here in San Diego, that is why the left can tax the heck out of us. I left, but I had to come back.
