That's a puzzler all right, how can the world be warming, but coastal mountains be receiving more precipitation?
Why does it have to be about global warming or not? We have a very real problem with pollution, but no one seems to care about that...
It gets better! 31 Dec 10 - US Navy PIPS data shows that the area of Artic ice greater than 2.5 metres thick â has doubled since the same date in 2008. http://stevengoddard.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/pips12_30_2010vs2008.gif
Pollution? Are you kidding?? Whether you're referring to human waste, pesticides, HFCs, mercury, plutionium, cigarette smoke, lead, etc., industry scientists debunked all those claims made by public scientists, years ago.
If the average person takes a crap once per day, and there are 6.9 billion people on earth, thats 2.5 trillion poops per year worldwide. Its amazing we are not knee deep in shit right now.
Ricter have you considered that we could be in a warming trend which is not caused by CO2. We have had ice core studies which show warming preceded CO2 bulidup by hundreds of years. This whole CO2 thing was just a guess by Gore and his corrupt science buddies. Who should have said, this is what we are guessing. Not, this is science.
