Earth's Polar Ice Melting Less Than Thought

Why is this labeled Science? Global Warming / Climate Change / Whatever They're Calling It This Week is a pseudo-science. The data has been faked / tweeked to give the results they wanted. Why? Becuase they're getting paid big bucks to show that Humans are Bad. "It's tough to get an estimate (with previous methods)," he says? Sure it is, when you've been lying through your teeth and fudging the data all along. Climate Change reminds me of "Whose Line Is It Anyway" where the action is ad libbed and the points don't matter.

Really? What a shock. Ice melting less than they thought? Global warming if a farce and anyone who believed it is an idiot.
Al Gore needs to get a life. He hasn't been the same since his lost election. Well, what do you expect from the person who invented the internet?

Ooops! We made a mistake and pushed phony science on the world to further our own agenda. Unfortunately we have to 'fess up, because, well, the fact is our own lies are coming back to bite us in the butt.
Nice. Typical liberal game playing. And they wonder why more and more people are skeptical.

Gotta love the way journalists and scientists who have staked careers and emotional ties to global warming, even in this article, have to forewarn the rest of us that this means absolutely nothing and that global warming continues just the same as before.

If the ocean really does rise at .06 of an inch per 100 years, (which it won't) that is 1/16 an inch per year =to 6 inches in 100 years. Six inches is not going to cause worldwide destruction. But this is not going to happen anyway. Scientist are now saying that we are more likely to go into another Ice age. The earth has had many Ice ages in the past. CO2 is not the cause of the Atmosphere warming, and the facts do not show this. It is the corrupt scientist , like the climate gate boys, who move numbers around to generate fear so that they can scare the hell out of people , thus helping there supporters to sell more solar panels, and more wind generators. That have to be supported by my taxes so these manufactures can make big profits or go broke after stealing millions of tax dollars to go bankrupt. Please, please, please Americans , wake up. Start to really study the facts and check these thing out for your self. Quit just automaticly believeing everything our now corrupt leadership is telling you.

And as we all know, never in the four billion year history of planet Earth has ice ever melted before.
Quick quiz: When Eric the Red discovered a new island 1400 years ago, why did he name it Greenland if it's supposed to have been covered in ice since the beginning of time?
Musta been all those SUVs and coal plants they had back in 750 AD.

Al has made his money now, we can quit worrying about the fabrication.

"It's tough to get an estimate" ....but they went ahead and released flawed information anyway.
Sounds like a tree hugger mentality to me....never any basis in fact but demanding change nevertheless.
Classic liberalism.

More PROOF that the so called global warming dosent exist....I refer everyone back to the US Government report from the 60's that stated we were actually heading for another mini ICE AGE.
If you study the evidence, you can see that any so called warming ended around the 1980,s and a cooling trend is now taking place that will be accelerated by the decline in sunspot activity over the next 20 years
Instead of pushing the FAILED green technology, we should be pushing to insulate and better heat our homes to withstand the 20 degree F changes that are coming.
