So much for Global Warming

June was a record for temperatures in 34 years. Now with all the fuss regarding Global Warming you would be hoping that the record was that June was the warmest in 34 years. You could be rightly aggreived if it wasn't.

But no the record was for the coldest June on record for 34 years making us actually wish for Global Warming.

I mean people mention Global Warming like it is a bad thing. 

I have said it before and I will say it again.

Global Warming is the biggest of all lies.

    Hmm, I’m not so sure, Whale.
    I posted the below at SirHumphreys -

    Did anyone see the ‘Canvas’ section of last weekend’s NZ Herald? It was quite scary, really. They were in the artic, and they showed you a picture of some big bay, and they said this should be frozen right now, but it wasn’t. The polar bears was straying into towns etc, because they couldn’t find any food.

    They also showed this eskimo’s igloo which had melted, and they said the ice was something like 40% thinner.

    They talked to a woman who said there was something wrong with the Sun. It was in the wrnog place in the sky, she said. It should be lower down toward the horizon but it was too high in the sky. She was now having to wear sunblock to stop getting sunburned which she never had to do before.

    It’s definately warming up. They said something about if the whole arctic melts, the sea level will rise 70 metres or so(I’d have to read the article again to check this).

    I have since found the article again, and it should read *antarctic* not, arctic.
    Below is more from the article -

    —-snip—-

    In the past three decades more than 1,035,995sq km of sea ice has melted. The ice is now 40% thinner. The melting Greenland ice sheet last year deposited 224cu/km of ice into the ocean as opposed to 90 in 1996, according to American scientists Eric Rignot and Pannir Kanagaratnam. Greenland contains enough land ice to raise ocean levels 7m. Antarctica holds enough to raise them by more than 65m

    —snip—-

    All this leads me to wonder: is it so cold here this year (colder than 34 years) because the pole is melting and heat is *escaping?* And we’re quiet close to the escaping cold flow?
    It’s something to think about.

    If you can find a copy of Canvas from the week-before-last, please give it a read. It’s quite interesting.

    It is complete tosh and mumbo jumbo.

    The Arctic is alomost all sea ice so even if it melts, most of it is already in the water and thus will not contribute even a millimetre to sea levels.

    It is actually physically impossible for ALL of the Antarctic or even the Arctic ice caps to melt.

    Mean Temps:
    Winter: -40 to -94°F (-40 to -70°C)
    Summer: -5 to -31°F (-15 to -35°C) 

    So pray tell exactly how the ice is supposed to melt when my primary school science lessons clearly taught me that water freezes at 0°C.

    Global Warming is a fraud, invented by Enron and perpetrated by blinded and self interested scientists.

    In fact as a penance for utter complete crap you need to read this article .

    Mate you’re deluded. Everyone other than the odd nut bar agrees that climate change is happening, we are causing it and if we don’t do something about it real soon it is going to hurt.

    Wow – can’t argue with that.

  • Whaleoil

    Fuck off, just coz every one thinks it is so, doesn’t make it so, Mr Flat Earth man.

    Good now run along, dick heads aren’t tolerated here.

    Mate you’re deluded. Everyone other that the odd nut bar agrees that climate change is happening, we caused it and it is going to hurt unless we do something pretty drastic pretty soon.
