I'll sidestep your post Jim and note that the ice that screwed up the mission was the result of melting that forced ice to flow to warmer waters, not freezing. Just found Gary's lack of comprehension amusing.

 

I find it humorous because Al Gore said the ice would be gone by now!

I comprehend that you believe a group of people who have never had an accurate prediction.

 

How is that hockey stick graph looking?

Not to answer for him but I take the link to support an argument that no one knows what the !@#$ is occurring.

Good news. Solar and other green energy is getting cheaper

 

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-15/solar-power-will-kill-coal-sooner-than-you-think

 

Solar power, once so costly it only made economic sense in spaceships, is becoming cheap enough that it will push coal and even natural-gas plants out of business faster than previously forecast.

That’s the conclusion of a Bloomberg New Energy Finance outlook for how fuel and electricity markets will evolve by 2040. The research group estimated solar already rivals the cost of new coal power plants in Germany and the U.S. and by 2021 will do so in quick-growing markets such as China and India.

From a trillion dollars with zero useful productivity

 

To a dollar cheaper with the same level of productivity?

 

Bring out the party hats, where's Guy Lombardo's Orchestra for the celebration?

24 feet of snow is just a warning about global warming!

 

http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/it%e2%80%99s-june-california-is-still-covered-in-snow/ar-BBCMjdH?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

 

But though drought seems like a distant memory looking at the snowy Sierras, Californians shouldn’t forget it. Precipitation (or lack thereof) is a key ingredient for drought, and while climate change isn’t likely to cause a shift in precipitation for the Golden State, it is likely to have an impact on another key drought ingredient: hot temperatures.

Scientists have already shown that hot years are overlapping with dry years more often and that within a few decades, any dry year will also certainly be a hot one in California. Put a few of those hot, dry years together and you’ve got yourself a recipe for another extreme California drought. That means the Golden State should enjoy the good times like 2017, but be ready for a future where drought conditions happen more often unless carbon pollution is cut.

Isn't it sad how the world doesn't work in a linear fashion so it's easier to understand?

Better to just make up a "scientific" theory which corresponds to the age-old Marxist whining about other people have more money than you do.

With the same people trumpeting both arguments.

 

Puts them and their theories in rank suspicion.

Big Oil wants to tax itself and give cash to Americans


Here are two shockers: Big Oil wants to tax itself to fight climate change. And it wants the proceeds to go to American families.


Companies would be taxed on the carbon dioxide generated by mining, drilling and other activities conducted in the U.S. The fee would start around $40 per ton and go up from there.


The tax proceeds would then be paid out to Americans -- regardless of income level -- in monthly installments through the Social Security Administration.

For those claiming global warming is real based on the fact that it's too hot for an airplane to fly in Phoenix today are about as intelligent as a person saying it's snowing outside so it's a hoax.
