    Oh my God…what is the deal here? The global warming crew has everyone saying that CO2 is causing the temperatures to spike and we’re all going to flooded, burned alive, blown away and die. this is just insane. Their are normal hurricane cycles that adjust without man’s help and, historically, temps have always gone up and down-there’s nothing we can do about it if it is happening so these alarmist clowns need to shut up!

    Perhaps the sky is falling, too! Who/What is NSIDC? How long have they been in business? From where do they obtain funding? Who is the article writer? His/her credentials? Education? I no longer believe everything I read. I hope Insurance Journal checks authenticity and credentials before it prints junk like this!

    This is outrageous.

    Novel take on global warming

    Buy State of Fear at the Guardian bookshop

    Michael Crichton’s latest novel, State of Fear, is an action-packed thriller in which the hero is a scientist who discovers that climate change is all a fraud. The novel has sold well, but it was still something of a shock yesterday to find its author as an expert witness testifying on global warming in front of the United States Senate.

    There is a NSIDC, look at their website, you would see that not only the US, but Russia is involved in this project.

    My, my, I love the lead in to this article that basically implies you are in the minority and obviously stupid if you have just not accepted the unproven THEORY of global warming. Weather patterns change & flex, but environmental extremists only like to wave their global warming flag when the weather fits their argument. When we experience a harsh winter and colder than normal temperatures, the global warming groupies are mostly silent and those that are not, somehow manage to twist it so that these weather patterns are also the result of global warming. There are so many holes in the global warming theory that if it were a ship, you would not have time to untie it from the dock before it would sink.

    Looks like the ostrich crowd is alive and well. What will it honestly take to realize something is seriously askew with the world climate? People bursting into flames or CAT 6 hurricanes? No matter how much the science community says otherwise, you science hating Bushies will deny this till the bitter end. Tell me, what facts would change your mind on Climate Change? For example, if you could truly show me these were mere temporary blips on the climate screen, I would not worry about it any longer. Trust me, I wish it were not true. I would love to go on living life guilt free and conservation-less, it is so much damn easier. Life ain’t always so easy folks. Get used to the fact that fossil fuels will diminish one day regardless, and we might as well start doing what we can NOW, while maybe we can make a difference. Of course, for the religious nuts among you, it’s “use or lose it” before Armagedeon hits. As for the “diminishing few” such as yourselves however, keep driving your SUV’s and wasting energy. Fortunately, you will become a diminishing “fewer” as the years march on.

    The negative comments posted show clear ignorance of most of the American People who have clearly been brainwashed by the current administration. I’m no scientist, but the article was stating facts based on observations that show a clear decline in the Arctic sea ice cover.
    You can do a google search to find out who/what NSIDC is and who Mark Serreze is, uh duh.
    Observations are clearly indicating that the Arctic is warming and the idea that the Arctic will warm further if the sea ice melts away makes complete logical sense. The mistake made in the insurance
    journal article is one of saying that if the Arctic ice cap were to melt (which is the sea ice), that it would result in wide-spread flooding. Just as ice cubes melting in a glass of water does not change the water level, nor will the melting sea ice cause sea level to rise.
    It’s the melting of the glaciers and ice sheets that will result in sea level rise.
    Get a clue people!

    As a formerly trained scientist, I find your comments just plain ignorant. Just because some local college students and wannabees (under a reasonably credible leader) puts some figures together does NOT prove a theory. While the story makes interesting reading, it’s flamboyant. Four years in the history of this globe certainly does not show a trend. Frankly, it’s not even a blip on the radar. And what does politics (who cares) or religious beliefs have anything to do with it? Even fools believe there is a God! And, why is it the responsibility of the US to fix the world anyway. Get real and logical.

    You are so logical Bill, from now on you shall be called Spock. You certainly know more about global warming than the bulk of the world scientific community. Unfortunately, politics does have something to do with our National response to this trend. As does religion. That is logical, don’t you think!

    Like I said before Jeff, what WILL it take for these folks to think something is wrong? Have not the droughts, heat waves, floods, melting ice caps, etc. signaled something might be up? Nah, we are all just falling for an international hoax. Yeah right.
