"We are in a planetary emergency."

Arctic Ice Melt, Psychopathic Capitalism and the Corporate Media

Last month, climate scientists announced that Arctic sea ice had shrunk to its smallest surface area since satellite observations began in 1979. An ice-free summer in the Arctic, once projected to be more than a century away, now looks possible just a few decades from now. Some scientists say it may happen within the next few years.

The loss is hugely significant because Arctic sea ice reflects most solar energy into space, helping to keep the Earth at a moderate temperature. But when the ice melts it reveals dark waters below, which absorb more than 90 percent of the solar energy that hits them, leading to faster warming both locally and globally.

Peter Wadhams, professor of ocean physics at Cambridge University, warns that the Arctic may be ice-free in summer as soon as 2015. Such a massive loss would have a warming effect roughly equivalent to all human activity to date. In other words, a summer ice-free Arctic could double the rate of warming of the planet as a whole. No wonder that leading NASA climate scientist James Hansen says bluntly: "We are in a planetary emergency."

Planetary emergency! Planetary emergency!

When I read this truly stupid thread, I kept hearing Gomer Pyle declaring a citizen's arrest.

1. No one cares

Sorry to say but it is true.

Obama rarely brings climate change up.

Damn that muslim! He could at least stop the rain in New York for the playoff game.

7. What is there to say?

We know? We know.

I watched An Inconvenient Truth. Nothing has changed.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Doing that. So now what?

Recycling weenies are among the most comical of all DUmmy subspecies.

Where are Captain Planet and the Planeteers when you need them?

Has nads made any anouncements yet? She's undoubtedly the expert.

Psst--it's in Baltimore, and Jeter just led off with a single.

DUmmies say that we are screwing Mother Gaia up with our pollution.  If that bitch exists she must like it cause she's just lying there taking it.

You are correct for a change dummie. No one cares. I certainly don't. Oh and BTW... obumbles knows if he starts bringing it up his wife's taxpayer funded vacations will end Jan 20th of next year.

Wait!!! Forget that!!!  Send emails to obumbles campaign telling him to bring it up in the next 2 debates. It's what caused all those muzzies to attack our embassies!!! Tell him you won't vote for him unless he does.  Do it dummies. Do it now!!!!

Don't care that much. Ready for the Reds to play out in Sodomy City, which I had to search for on TNT.

[USA4ME]

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

[Undies]

When it gets really warm you can take the Big Blue Marble and stick it up your lily-white DUmmie ass. 

[Freeper]

From what I read a few months back scientists are predicting that the sun cycle is going to enter a phase where sun storms aren't as frequent and that the earth will start a cooling trend.

That's correct.
Seems in the late sixties, they forecast the next ice-age.
I can't wait for them to forecast normal weather for the next thousand years.

I'm waiting for them to figure out how to have the next ice age in the summer and global warming in the winter so we have year round spring-type weather.

If the VRWC spent just a fraction of their time and resources on this instead of time machines, earthquake machines, tsunami machines, etc. I know it could be done.

[jukin]

Meanwhile the antarctic ice sheet is at a record too, record amount of coverage. Funny how that does not get the coverage the arctic ice does....until the summer then we will start hearing about the antarctic ice melting.

Naw! They'll go on perpetual vacation! The dipshit, and his gorilla will still get SS protection. He'll be just like Clintoon and take his dog and pony show on the road!

What's truly amazing is, when the temp was much higher and we truly had a greenhouse effect, mother earth grew Allosaurs!!

I'm hopin' it happens again! Then we can just treat DUmmies as prey!

Well the Clintoon pony show is possible but if I recall correctly the dog committed suicide running in front of a car.

Can't say as I blame him! WTF? Didn't he rate SS security? I knew the CIC was a prick, but I didn't think he'd abuse a dog! Tell ya truth, don't surprise me in the least though! In all my life, I've only lost one dog to some nitwit in a car, and I'm older than the messiah!

[EagleKeeper]

I think this is where the DUmmies OP went off the rails.

Surely you rethug goons understand that this is a site that has a deep understanding of climate science!

An inconvenient truth?

IIRC, the Clenis signed legislation that changed the loength of SS protection after a President left office from lifetime to 10 years.

Yes,  impeached president Clinton was the last president to get lifetime protection.

[Airwolf]

Tell you what . Let the adults in this world know when it is really coming to an end when this happenes.

Aliens invade



It's WWIII or WWIV or whatever the next one is.



The Zombie Apocolypse breaks out .



Or if Nobama stays in office forever. No picture will be posted because that would be to much for anyone to contemplate what the end would look like.

Let me guess... it's gonna happen in 24 climate hours?
