CrazyBud User ID: 20941149 United States 08/28/2012 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wrong. Record is from 2007. And this record is irrelevant. Measurements started in 1979 only. This is nothing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10272994 Also, even if it was true, big deal, Artic melted several times before. At least twice in the 20th century. Agree...it's the Artic summer, ice will melt. On the other hand the Antarctic sea ice remains above the 1979-2008 mean values. There's plenty of room for all God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes...noli timere messorem |

This is not unusual either. Quoting: Passin' Through If you do more research into this matter you will find that most of the models that show ice receding were photos in the spring. They conveniently do not show the ice growth in winter. Well buddy, The point is that the ice is smaller than its been in Springs past. I live in the Rocky Mountains of the USA and our glacial drifts have been smaller this year than in decades. Just ask people along the Colorado river what they think. |

This is turn releases the methane from permafost and Co2 which will lead to global warning. Now we need to know the time frame for all this cycle. |

The earth is a bio-system.. with inter-related systems creating a balance. It is way more than merely cause and effect. There is an imbalance.. look at the weather, the sun, the water.. all with definite influence on the whole. I believe the earth's balance will be re-achieved, eventually. The question is.. will we survive until it happens..? |

Quoting: Waterbug The shifting of mass to the equator may be contributing to fluctuations in axial tilt. There are many factors in play.

Warm the planet up a degree or three and maybe they'll become livable. Don't worry, we'll get our carbon emissons under control before it's too late. We have at best 50 years before we have technology that eliminates the use of fossil fuels for energy. Quoting: Cult of Personality We've had technology for awhile that would get rid of fossil fuels, there have been patents continuously bought out since the 60s by Big oil to prevent any new energy source “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

shadasonic (OP) User ID: 15732022 United States 08/28/2012 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How can it be broken, the arctic went through a very long period where there was no ice at all but just trees, grass and mammoth shit?! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4964000 So please explain how the records have been broken before I vote on the thread, thanks. As its been explained theres no way of proving an all time record.These recordings started in 1979 and this is the new record. I'm not making any mind boggling postulations just reporting the news as the poles have been of interest of late. I'm probably more biased because I'm stuck in the middle of this midwest massive drought and to me everything is burning up. I'm very concerned with a series of events that I've been watching for sometime. The increasing TEC(total electron spikes). The buildup of solar energy particles in the ionosphere.The dramatic increase in magma flow etc... I believe its all inter connected and we are in the beginning stages of some big earth changes. You can vote any way you want it doesn't matter to me. If I see something that seems important I like to bring it out in the open. Everyone has their opinion and they should. If theres even a small percentage of relevancy to any of this it should be explored.

Yes.. I was too vague. Didn't mean to insinuate this thread was doing that. Meant to point out that all factors should be considered when discussing any isolated factor.. This, to me, is the problem with science in the traditional sense. Each regimen tends to discount any influence that could be relevant from disciplines outside their particular realm of knowledge.. and many posters do the same. For example.. geological studies show proof of rapid magnetic pole reversal in the past ..it is merely a piece of the puzzle. |
