NEW ... climatesafety. org Following the record 2007 melt in Arctic summer sea ice extent, 2008 saw a record low in sea ice volume. Arctic climate scientists are now predicting an Arctic ocean ice-free in summer by 2011-2015, eighty years ahead of predictions made by the IPCC.... An early Arctic melt will cause additional heating, as a shrinking ice cap reflects less sunlight into space; additional greenhouse gas emissions, as the ensuing regional warming melts frozen permafrost; ...

... and additional sea level rise, as the Greenland ice-sheet comes under increased temperature stress. Furthermore, the Arctic melt is taking place in the context of faster change in the climate than the IPCC have predicted. It is clear that the IPCC's predictions of future sea-level rises are underestimates. Potential predicted sea level rises would put us in the region of impacts orders of magnitude greater than any we have seen to date. Carbon sinks -- which provide the Earth's natural ...

... capacity to draw carbon out of the atmosphere -- are degrading as temperatures rise and ecosystems are destroyed. The Earth's sinks have up to this point absorbed almost half of all man-made emissions -- we may not be able to rely on them to do so in the future. Ecosystems, already under pressure from human activity, are proving more vulnerable to temperature rise than anticipated. Change is happening ahead of schedule. This suggests that the climate is more sensitive than we thought ...

Most scientist do not think humans are the cause of global warming, look up the oregen petition (i think i spelt the name wrong)

this video is really a big shot. come on guys.. stop doing some ass! we're educated people right? why not have some change, stop abusing our home, quit smoking!

not enough....war on terror= comsumption of fuel, majority of people use cars that emit carbon dioxide. All nations are planning a nuclear holocaust, we're planning our own extinction. People need to wake up! and give respect to earth that once gave you life on this planet.

to make a long story short..... global warming has no effect on ovr world. i still tink this earth has at lest 2.5 billion years untill it dies out.

Nancidrew - As one who has participated in the peer review process as both reviewer and reviewee, I can attest to your point. Peer review doesn't guarantee perfection, but filters out most of the worthless material - for illustration, one need only compare peer-reviewed papers with the spurious claims abundant in climate blogs. The conclusion we're warming the planet to a potentially dangerous extent doesn't rely on the validity of any single paper but on convergence of evidence from thousands.

an interesting story.... NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! global warming is a scientific fraud. i even hear that their starting to turn trash into electricity.

So, what would be wring with that, turning trash into electricity!? And do you have any proof on what you are saying, GW is a fraud? And why in the world it be a fraud, who would benefit from it?
