GLOBAL WARMNG FROM THE WASHINGTON POST.

Yo'Adrienne..AFCL 2012/07/01 18:05:06
The following short news story is TRUE! It is NOT a joke or gag!
Be sure to read this in its entirety:

The Arctic Ocean is warming up. Icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes!
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.”
My apologies... I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 89 years ago!
You!

    "I don't know what I am talking about"?
    That's ridiculous! I'm not spouting global warming, you are.,

    Here's the so-called 'hockey stick':

    so-called hockey stick

    ... and here's the instrumental record of global warming:

    so-called hockey stick instrumental record global warming

    Not the same graph. The sole reason that the AGW denial scammers have been wailing on and on for years about the 'hockey stick' graph is that they don't want the public to think that the global climate today is hotter than it was in Mediaeval times... regardless of what the evidence shows. What they also don't want the public to know is that this point is irrelevant to the concern over current and future global warming. We're pumping global warming gases into the atmosphere faster than ever before, so the situation is going to get a lot worse before it gets better... if it ever gets better.

    Marxist Liberals can only spew accusations, fallacies, and personal attacks.

    This Hoaxter is a Marxist Liberal. He hates fact because facts never support the party line.

    When a Liberal can't argue with facts, they spew the fallacy of "shooting the messenger." In otherwords, they make a personal attack on the person making the argument and cut and run on facts of their argument.

    Let me slam the Liberal with facts about your fallacy.

    "Killing the Messenger (Argumentum ad Hominem)

    “This fallacy disagrees with an argument by attacking the person who makes the argument.”

    http://depts.washington.edu/m...

    Does the Liberal think that Washinton University is lying about your behavior? Didn't you make a personal attack on the person making the argument rather then argue with them?

    You cut and ran by using Liberal logic (a fallacy).

    A prolonged lull in solar activity has astrophysicists glued to their telescopes waiting to see what the sun will do next—and how Earth's climate might respond.

    Here's a link to a National Geographic video that talks about Milankovitch (astronomical) cycles and how they cause ice ages to come and go. http://video.nationalgeograph...

    Thanks, the one I was really thinking of was in the 70's, think it was the story right before an article on lines at the gas pumps, and the fuel embargo

    Wow, you had me worried there for a minute. I'm glad to see they had global warming in 1922 too. I was starting to wonder why it was so hot on July 1. It's so hot, a bag of ice will melt, if you leave it outside. Now that's what I call global warming.
