Apparently the poles have missed the memo that they are melting.

The Kyoto treaty was agreed upon in late 1997 and countries started signing and ratifying it in 1998. A list of countries and their carbon dioxide emissions due to consumption of fossil fuels is available from the U.S. government. If we look at that data and compare 2004 (latest year for which data is available) to 1997 (last year before the Kyoto treaty was signed), we find the following.

· Emissions worldwide increased 18.0%.
· Emissions from countries that signed the treaty increased 21.1%.
· Emissions from non-signers increased 10.0%.
· Emissions from the U.S. increased 6.6%.

In fact, emissions from the U.S. grew slower than those of over 75% of the countries that signed Kyoto. Below are the growth rates of carbon dioxide emissions, from 1997 to 2004, for a few selected countries, all Kyoto signers. (Remember, the comparative number for the U.S. is 6.6%.)

· Maldives, 252%.
· Sudan, 142%.
· China, 55%.
· Luxembourg, 43%
· Iran, 39%.
· Iceland, 29%.
· Norway, 24%.
· Russia, 16%.
· Italy, 16%.
· Finland, 15%.
· Mexico, 11%.
· Japan, 11%.
· Canada, 8.8%.

World and U.S. opinion seems to revolve around who signed Kyoto rather than actual carbon dioxide emissions.  Once again, stated intent trumps actual results.  Can even the global warming believers possibly believe this treaty has anything to do with it?

UN: Poor Need $86 Billion in Climate Aid

...less the 98% rake-off by the UN leaves 1.72 billion. Figure 5 billion are 'poor' by UN standards...that gives 37 cents to each of them. Willie Sutton was wrong...the banks are not where the money is. The money is in leftoid scams.

"Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."

Great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, and at may points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

God DAMNED those SUVs.

Freakin' Moonbat alert.

An agriculture professor at the University of Melbourne, Snow Barlow, said the paper showed humans were taking up too much of an important natural resource.

"Here we are, just one species on the earth, and we're grabbing a quarter of the renewable resources ... we're probably being a bit greedy."

At least on this one, I'm doing my fair green share.  I don't eat leafy veggies, and I don't go out into the sun - so I am not converting Mother Gaia's companion's warm rays into vitamins. As any ginger kid can tell you, we don't burn - we bleach.

A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite. The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.

Moonbats. Arctic. Mid-Winter. Frostbite.

Could there be any other result?

Moonbats never let reality get in the way of their fondest fantasies.

They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming," Atwood said. "But one of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability".

Naturally. Severe cold is a sure symptom of gerbil worming.

I think a wake up call is in order.

Which brings us to the comment of the day from ErnieG

They probably had to abandon their sunscreen and scuba gear, too. What a waste.

OMG!
After posting my snarky comment about scuba gear, I went back and read
the news item. To demonstrate that the ice is melting and we’re all
gonna die, they were actually planning to don wet suits and go
swimming.

In it's entirety - the official answer to Gore's Inconvenient Truth.  All 75 minutes of it.  This is science...not superstition.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

When big Al brushed off his massive energy usage by whining that he offset his footprint by buying carbon credits - you knew some one would check....

Al buys his carbon offsets from Generation Investment Management LLP, which is "an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 and with offices in London and Washington, D.C.," that, for a fee, will invest your money in "high-quality companies at attractive prices that will deliver superior long-term investment returns." Generation is a tax-exempt U.S. 501(c)3. And who's the chairman and founding partner? Al Gore.

Hot air, farts, carbon offsets, snake oil... The man is a charlatan.

I saw this picture on Mullings....



Start of a joke: Al Gore, Rosie O'Donnell and Rob Reiner go to Guatamala City to participate in a double-dutch jump rope tournament ...

Global warming concerns are keeping children awake at night

Half of young children are anxious about the effects of global warming, often losing sleep because of their concern, according to a new report today.

Then the obvious solution is to quit scaring the kids with all this venal globular waarmening nonsense. Anyone pushing that craptrap should be charged with child molestation.

It's for the children, after all.

You can start with the gerbil-worming alGore monster under the bed.

...or perhaps they could just stop fudging the data.

Mayhaps one of you greenies can tell me why the exact same data for 1880 - 2000 published in 2000 and 2007 show a change lowering iinconvenient recorded temperatures in the 30s and a change raising recorded temperatures in the 90s. I guess the answer is - if the recorded data don't fit your agenda, change the data. - originally found on Kim

It is absolutely essential that we melt as much of the polar icecaps as we can.

97.5% of all water on Earth is salt water, leaving only 2.5% as fresh water. 70% of the earth's remaining fresh water is tied up in those greedy frozen unilateral bastards, leaving less than 1% available for use in the earth's closed ecosystem.

Globular Waarmening is absolutely critical to the future survival of the planet.

Ice Caps Delenda Est...

Here is a picture I found on FF.com of Niagra Falls in 1911. I wonder if my grandfather's SUV had anything to do with it?

Here's one I took two winters ago...from the shore in the distance of the first picture.

A thread over at FMFT got me looking at the numbers..... How much human activity accounts for greenhouse gases. It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is taken into account-- about 5.53%, if not. This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn't factored into an analysis of Earth's greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one. Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect (4). Interestingly, many "facts and figures' regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold. Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic). Human activites contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small-- perhaps undetectable-- effect on global climate. Charts The Kyoto Protocol calls for mandatory carbon dioxide reductions of 30% from developed countries like the U.S. Reducing man-made CO2 emissions this much would have an undetectable effect on climate while having a devastating effect on the U.S. economy. Can you drive your car 30% less, reduce your winter heating 30%? Pay 20-50% more for everything from automobiles to zippers? And that is just a down payment, with more sacrifices to come later. Such drastic measures, even if imposed equally on all countries around the world, would reduce total human greenhouse contributions from CO2 by about 0.035%.

Tim Blair is running a thread on sea level rise down under. Included in the comments is a link to a site where you can zoom into your little bit of the world and see how it would look at different sea level changes. As I can pretty much spit into the Barnegat Bay from my back yard, I had some interest. There are marks on every telephone pole in the neighborhood, bye the bye, which mark feet above mean high tide. The lowest part of my backyard is about 5' above MHT. I find this more interesting for storm surge information than I do for Globular Warmening. At most the ocean would rise a few centimeters over the next century, but a 4 meter (13 foot) storm surge would give me ocean front property. ...of course this is bullshit, but I wonder how they reconcile a 13 foot rise in the ocean with my property being 5' above sea level...and my house doesn't get washed away? Go Warmening. Get busy with those SUVs guys.

Took six weeks between the mortco paperwork (I bought it with a loan against property) and getting the title from Florida, but it's finally done. The bank was great, the mortco sucked...it took 4 weeks to get a copy of my flood insurance on the property I used, and my neighbor only needed to sell it cuz of a nasty divorce...sad. But now I have my very own Gas-Guzzling-Global-warming-Hippy-heart-attack-giving EnviroWacker 8000. In other words...basically a mid-sized station wagon with 4WD I'll never use in the cement jungle I live in....but paid for, insured, registered, and warranty still good for another 2 years.

Everything that has been affected by Global Warming....

Iowahawk has the lowdown we can all live with....

61^o today along the shore in the great State (and criminal enterprise) of New Jersey. If this is global warming....I'm all for it. Every day like this is a day closer to Spring.
