#1 Meanwhile, Antarctic sea ice sets a record for this time of year.

The mystery is why the albedo (cooling) feedback of more ice doesn't lock us into a Snowball Earth.

#3 Could use a little global warming this morning as the temp is +5F. Where my sister lives in Ohio, it is -6F. Other places are much colder. Are most of the GW econuts in southern California?

#4 Most of the planet's carbon is sequestered in limestone rock, not fossil fuels.

#5 It always was about the oil economy. They are just move obvious about their calls to action now that western oil is pumping the price down and putting the Arab/Russian axis in a bad position.

#7 The greenhouse effect is bollocks, it's a pressure effect.
One way insulators belong with perpetual motion machines.

#12 >what ever happened to peak oil?

Ridicule. Like those predicting exponential rises in temperature will receive.

#14 UK scientists, eh? No more fossil fuel means no more electricity for that big-ass honking computer the Met just built. Unless you want to build nuke plants...

On the plus side, no more computers means no more insanely inaccurate forecasts or bad computer models.

#15 Please, they are not scientists. You cannot call yourself a scientist if you do not share your data, encourage others to test your findings and keep your damn politics out of what you are doing. When I wrote my thesis, my opinion was the tiniest portion of the paper. Everything else was the data, good bad or ugly.

Nah, these guys are just leeches and snake oil salesmen.
