I don't care what you say or what millionaire pseudo scientist/politician you bring in says, I don't believe it.
Do you have any idea how hot it would have to get to melt all of that ice? If this is true, the people at the equator should be dead because the temperatures there would be in 150-200 F range (if not higher).
Okay - there is an underwater volcano from what I understand that I might be led to believe is melting some of the ice.
Underwater Volcanos
But all of it? No.
Notice that even though the headline says the ice is gone, "scientists" actually give a better than 50/50 shot of being gone by the end of the summer. This way at the end of the summer when the ice is still there they can say "Well we dodged the bullet this time."
This is a story from the UK. And in the UK the environmentalists are grossly overplaying their hand. After years of convincing the Brits to pay higher taxes, socialize everything and put libs in charge in the name of "global warming" the British people are beginning to doubt. It seems that every year, despite any and all attempts of the environmentalists the environment just gets that much worse which of course requires new taxes, new socialization and more libs put in charge. And the Brits are tired of it.
And so the unbiased, non partisan media (which ALWAYS votes Labor anyway) puts out this line of crap.
What stuns me is how many people are still going to believe this. I guess this is what 50 years of extremely expensive Leftist public education is going to produce: people who can't read, can't think, can't do simple science or even ask basic questions, but know all there is about Global Warming propaganda.
If it's such a crisis, why is Al Gore still flying around in a private jet? In fact, why are world leaders in general flying around in private jets and driving around in limos? Seems to me they should walk AND still buy their precious "carbon credits" to make headway against "greenhouse gases" instead of just zeroing themselves out.
It was one of the COOLEST springs on record. NONE of the "consensus" scientists predicted that. But they all ran back to their models and changed the data hoping no one would notice. Then they pronounced that there would be a time of "global cooling" for about 10 years which would begin right after Obama takes office (see, even the weather votes socialist).
But I tell you what - I'll play this game. Let's assume that the pole is melting. Being as it's after midsummer I'm curious to know how high the water is at the coast. New York was supposed to be UNDERwater - so can we assume it's knee/waist deep? Since that isn't making headlines, I guess not.
Aren't deserts supposed to grow? Isn't rainfall suppose to decrease? So why is the midwest flooding?
If at the end of the summer the ice cap really is gone, can we start drilling for oil there? I mean, there wouldn't be an environment to destroy anymore right? And all the creatures living there will be dead right?
Still wonder how the inquisition got so out of control? We're witnessing the modern day equal right now.
