Time to start investing in Bolivian beachfront property.

The end of the last ice age approacheth!

"Today, the Northern Hemisphere sea ice area broke the record for the lowest recorded ice area in recorded history," I wonder what the record is for the lowest recorded ice area before recorded history. The quote implies it is even lower.

Hi to header ground.

Northwest Passage!

I'll bet it warms the bones of Henry Hudson.

It's just waste heat from Putin's flag-planting subs. No problem.

Sea ice in the northern hemisphere has plunged to the lowest levels ever measured Good news, its high time all that fresh water locked up in ice cover rejoin the cycle of life. Btw, "ever measured"? How long have they been doing that?

It is therefore almost certain that the previous 2005 record will be annihilated by the final 2007 annual minima closer to the end of this summer." That long?

"Today, the Northern Hemisphere sea ice area broke the record for the lowest recorded ice area in recorded history," Two years is recorded history?

And to anyone who complains that he didn't link this to GW anywhere: **** off. We do it to Cali, we do it to aneeshm, it's really really obvious here too what the agenda is.

You are never, ever again allowed to complain about anti-GWers citing local temperature extremes (or similar extremes) as evidence against GW, unless you admit this thread is 1) retarded and 2) hypocritical.

Also, you aren't allowed to call yourself a scientist. Did you take your pills today ?

The pictures are striking.

No doubt argument is (just about) possible as to whether the changes are simply part of a natural cycle or whether they are influenced by human activities.

But, whatever the cause, changes as radical as the pictures illustrate are going to affect us.

...and if we manage to make Antarctica hospitable, just think of all that extra land we get

[tgs]

Well get pumping out carbon dioxide - make sure there's not a solitary icecube left there!

hah... that is if Grenland ice cap doesn't melt... but if it does = 5 m higher oceans... which will be fun for the coastal cities...

I think the dutch will be exporting a lot of their know how with the dams and how to keep the water away ...

overall it should not be a problem for rich countries, but developing ones will have serious issues with relocation as they will most likely not have the $$$ and tech to keep the water at bay, and continue to live under water levels.

And Dartford too! Woooo!

[Blacksheepaalredy]

no South England will be new Havaii and that is something worth looking forward to.

So "recorded history" = 1979 to present.

While I am concerned about the environment, that isn't exactly a wealth of data.

-Arrian I think it rather is. I mean, 30 years is nothing in geological terms, right? And yet, in those 30 years, there has been an incredibly large amount of change recorded. Think about it.
