No cause for alarm - On Line Opinion - 11/11/2010

Despite alarmist propaganda there is much evidence to suggest that the ice sheets are in good health.

For example, one recent paper is entitled “A doubling in snow accumulation in the western Antarctic Peninsula since 1850” (Thomas et al. 2008).

Another reports that “The East Antarctic ice-sheet north of 81.60S increased in mass by 45 ± 7 billion metric tons per year from 1992 to 2003 … enough to slow sea-level rise by 0.12 ±0.002 millimetres per year” (Davis et al. 2005).

Wingham et al. (2006) wrote: “We show that 72 per cent of the Antarctic ice sheet is gaining 27 ± 29 Gt yr-1, a sink of ocean mass sufficient to lower global sea levels by 0.08 mm yr-1.”

Johannessen and colleagues analysed satellite data on the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2003. They found an increase of 6.4 ± 0.2 centimetres per year in the vast interior areas above 1500 metres, in contrast to previous reports of high-elevation balance. Below 1500 metres, the elevation-change rate is -2.0 ± 0.9 cm/year.

Obamaville: Bribes to Buy Crap Cars and Pay Raises for Everyone!

So here we have a total hoax, mankind global warming, propelling the manufacturer of a worthless piece of crap car that nobody wants. Proof that nobody wants it is, it's gonna cost twice what a similarly price or manufactured gasoline car costs, and to get people in one, they're gonna have to reduce the price with incentives and give-backs and rebates and all that, basically bribe people to drive these pieces-of-crap cars that they really don't want

What's been little-noticed, however, is that Upton actually questioned the entire concept of global warming, not just what disbelieving conservatives referred to as "questionable science."

Speaking of cap-and-trade, a proposal whereby carbon polluters would pay for carbon credits (essentially the right to pollute) he said, "No matter what we did between now and 2050, it, it, there was no real science to verify that it would reduce the temperature rise that some predicted."

...It is a world with dozens of Darfurs and Pakistani mega-floods, of countless environmental refugees — hundreds of millions by the second half of this century — all clamoring to occupy the parts of the developed world that aren’t flooded or desertified.
