Past Arctic Warming Also Created by Currents « the Air Vent

I’ve stated here on several occasions that the ‘Recent’ Arctic ice thinning is more likely a current change issue rather than a temperature issue.

Now, environmentalists tell us they only want to save the planet from overheating. “If you believe that the reason I have been working on this issue for 30 years is because of greed, you don’t know me,” Gore said while testifying before Congress in favour of a cap-and-trade plan. Seeing how they react to a cheap, simple and effective solution to global warming (even if it’s not this one), and which doesn’t require hordes of UN bureaucrats and NGOs and a massive transfer of wealth, is a surefire way to find out if they mean it.
