    I will now make an upsetting remark about climate change.

    Climate experts, their experience, their Ph.D's and their scientific opinions on the subject of climate change are - in regard to the needs of the general public - WORTHLESS........

    except for their ability to make credible, reliable, dependable predictions about unambiguous disasters within a explicit, well-defined time period.

    The field is littered with bad predictions - little different from A Certain Religion That We Happen To Be Familiar With - and excuses coupled with promises that 'yeah, but we know we're right this time'.

    If you invest your money, this situation should not be surprizing. There are plenty of financial "experts" who fail in the same way.

    The general prediction that I put some confidence in - is that we will have slight cooling for a few decades, globally, on average.

    And there will be floods, earthquakes, droughts, and storms here and there, as there always have been.

    Are there any of you climate enthusiasts that are willing to say "worse and worse"? If so, I feel sorry for you.

    That's right, Perry. Keep your blinders on, keep praying. Stay in denial. It defines everything about you.

    The sections of the glaciers floting on sea water will not increase sea levels one iota because the ice has allready displaced its weight into the sea.

    wow barry - do you think they have noticed this - you should definitely publish your findings.

    Just came across this from 1903;

    "PREPARATIONS FOR THE MILLENNIUM. Polar ice, both arctic and antarctic, seems to have been steadily decreasing, and it may be that these frigid deserts shall once blossom as the rose-Isa. 35:1-literally. The ice from both poles seems to be drifting toward equatorial regions, to such an extent that, in the north, it has become a menace to commerce, and it may be a work preparatory to the "times of restitution."" (Zion’s Watch Tower, May 1, 1903, page 131. RP3184)

    So, no need to worry, the Watchtower had it covered even back then.

    Antartic Sea Ice hits 35 year record. It is growing steadily colder as well.

    Here in the US, we just finished the coldest winter on record with at one point like 90% of the nation frozen
