Save The Reindeer

More GWBS. Consider the timing.

Hey folks,

In the Health and Science Segment this week, we learn that there is yet another victim in the whole Global Warming mess. Yup. The Polar Bear, Whale and sea life, Caribou, and, well, whatever else, now has more company.

Now what are you and your kids thinking about right now? Other than the Economy that is. Getting ready for Trick or Treating. Yup Halloween is just around the corner. Then we have Thanksgiving. But what are your kids REALLY thinking about? SANTA. Yes Santa is getting ready. Christmas is also just around the corner.

Soon your kids will be watching a "Charlie Brown Christmas," "The Grinch that Stole Christmas," Frosty the Snowman," and of course, "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer." But WAIT! Not so fast. We are killing off the Reindeer. We are killing RUDOLF. Explain THAT one to your kids.

I'm not kidding. According to the AP - Report says Arctic temperatures at record highs

WASHINGTON – Autumn temperatures in the Arctic are at record levels, the Arctic Ocean is getting warmer and less salty as sea ice melts, and reindeer herds appear to be declining, researchers reported Thursday.

You know folks, even some of the most STAUNT supporters of the whole "CLIMATE CHANGE" scam are admitting that temperatures are NOT rising anymore. As a matter of fact, we may be in a DECLINE. Remember that story a while back that said the Global Warming has been "Put on hold?" {Sigh}

"Obviously, the planet is interconnected, so what happens in the Arctic does matter" to the rest of the world, Jackie Richter-Menge of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., said in releasing the third annual Arctic Report Card.

The report, compiled by 46 scientists from 10 countries, looks at a variety of conditions in the Arctic.

The region has long been expected to be among the first areas to show impacts from global warming, which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says is largely a result of human activities adding carbon dioxide and other gases to the atmosphere.

How many of these Scientists actually AGREE with this final report? WHICH of them wrote it? Where is the PROOF? Sounds good, "46 scientists from 10 countries" But WHO actually AGREES with this bunk?

"Changes in the Arctic show a domino effect from multiple causes more clearly than in other regions," said James Overland, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle. "It's a sensitive system and often reflects changes in relatively fast and dramatic ways."

For example, autumn air temperatures in the Arctic are at a record 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) above normal.

The report noted that 2007 was the warmest year on record the Arctic, leading to a record loss of sea ice. This year's sea ice melt was second only to 2007.

WAIT! STOP right there for a second. Read that again. First we read this. This is the lead off in this article. "Autumn temperatures in the Arctic are at record levels." This would indicate that this is the warmest on record right? But then we JUST read this. "The report noted that 2007 was the warmest year on record the Arctic" So would that NOT mean that it is COOLER this year than last?

Rising temperatures help melt the ice, which in turn allows more solar heating of the ocean. That warming of the air and ocean affects land and marine life, and reduces the amount of winter sea ice that lasts into the following summer.

The study also noted a warming trend on Arctic land and increase in greenness as shrubs move north into areas that were formerly permafrost.

While the warming continues, the rate in this century is less than in the 1990s due to natural variability, the researchers said.

Again, READ that again. "While the warming continues," Prove it. "the rate in this century is less than in the 1990s due to natural variability, the researchers said."

The rate of warming is LESS than in the 90s. It is COOLER. WHERE IS THE WARMING?

In addition to global warming there are natural cycles of warming and cooling, and a warm cycle in the 1990s added to the temperature rise. Now with a cooler cycles in some areas the rise in temperatures has slowed, but Overland said he expects that it will speed up again when the next natural warming cycle comes around.

Folks, these people are either Idiots, or think YOU are. There ARE natural cycles of warming and cooling. That is what I have been telling you for years. It is nice to hear the "Experts" actually ADMIT that. HOWEVER, they have to throw in there "In addition to global warming" which has NOT even been proven to exist.

Asked if an increase in radiation from the sun was having an effect on the Earth's climate, Jason Box of the Byrd Polar Research Center in Columbus, Ohio, said while it's important, increased solar output only accounts for about 10 percent of global warming.

"You can't use solar to say that greenhouse gases are not a major factor," Overland added.

The Sun HEATS the planet you Moron. How can you possibly say it accounts for only ten percent, when NO ONE in your little Chicken Little, GWBS crowd, can say how much MAN is actually contributing? You really do not have to be a genius to figure out this is nothing more than a scam.

Other findings from the report include:

• The Arctic Ocean continued to warm and freshen due to ice melt. This was accompanied by an "unprecedented" rate of sea level rise of nearly 0.1 inch per year.

Yet we learned that the ocean levels are NOT rising anymore. Besides, even if they were, Obama said that when he is elected President, the Sea Levels will go back down to normal anyway.

• Warming has continued around Greenland in 2007 resulting in a record amount of ice melt. The Greenland ice sheet lost 24 cubic miles of ice, making it the largest single contributor to global sea level rise.

How much ice is melting today? Since we are COOLER than 2007. According to YOU. So would this not indicate that the Ice is NOT melting like it did THEN?

• Reindeer herds that had been increasing since the 1970s are now showing signs of leveling off or beginning to decline.

Why did they increase during the 1970s? Why were their numbers low then? Could it be natural?

• Goose populations are increasing as they expand their range within the Arctic.

Cycles

• Data on marine mammals is limited but they seem to have mixed trends. They are adapted to life in a region that is at least seasonally ice-covered. There is concern about the small numbers of polar bears in some regions, the status of many walrus groups is unknown, some whales are increasing and others declining.

In other words, "We have no idea what we are talking about here."

"This is a very complicated system and we are still working diligently to sort out its mysteries," said Richter-Menge.

In addition to Richter-Menge, Overland and Box, lead authors of the report included Michael Simpkin of NOAA, Silver Spring, Md. and Vladimir E. Romanovsky of the Geophysical Institute, Fairbanks, Alaska.

Yes folks, we must save Rudolf. He must guide the Sleigh on Christmas Eve. We need to explain to our kids that we are changing our light bulbs, riding bikes, and buying Carbon Credits because if we don't, we will kill off all the Reindeer, and Santa will not be able to come.

Be right back with the IWA.
