Gore: "Entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years"

Well Australia is the big desert island to the northwest of the shaky isles; They speak some funny language. The Smith side of my family comes from Alnwich; home of Hardy Bros. Fly reels, and earlier from somewhere in Scotland; so I have both English and Scottish coats of arms; and the Scottishsect has some Iberian in there, since an ancestor swam ashore from the wreckage of the Spanish Armada; so I guess that makes me part Hispanic.
The rich side was the Bridgens immigrants to Aotearoa, and the distaff side of the family; which now also embraces those weird Aussies, and also an Irish/Swiss link, so we’re sort of our own UN.
As to the OBSCON; I have my own personal Ice Manager who is a Nobel laureate Danish Glaciologist Chap, who resides in Greenland; and he says that something went ape with one of the ice algorithms, so I’m not sure that right now anybody but Svend really knows what’s going on; and HE knows his ice, and right now he has plenty of it. He takes care of both sides of the pizza for me, so I can keep tabs on the Antarctic ice through him as well; one of the handy consequences of polar satellites is that the train visits both places every hour on the hour and a half or so, and he can get his pictures as it passes by him.
Not only has the internet bypassed the newspaper and TV out of touch so-called news media; but it also has shortcircuited the “peer reviewed” science literature and communications bottleneck, so when a biassed ; excuse me, peer reviewed, journal won’t publish somebody’s new results that don’t toe the party line; it doesn’t matter a bit because we are all talking to each other now, without those dead tree scrolls.
Well just look at this nifty tent of Anthony’s here; how much of the world do we have all wired for sound just right here.
Just yesterday, I yacked with about 12 different big name people in the climatology community; not even counting Professor Singer; including some folks who put up wallpaper here as well; and of course Svend the ice man. He works for the Danish Gummint herding all those Greenland glaciers to make sure they don’t get lost on their way to the sea.
So is Varmland supposed to be warm, or farm; or maybe both. I keep tripping over my toes trying to keep all you Vikings straight in my head; I keep getting Svend mixed up with the Norwegians; although I pretty much have the geography figured out.
Svend sent me some spectacular pictures of the Wilkins ice shelf break-up a few months back; including overwhelming evidence that they break up all the time, and a piece just as big right next door on wilkins, broke up about 50 years ago, and is regrown bust not as thick as the rest so it stands out like a sore thumb.

Al Gore is bipolar i.e. has difficulty distinguishing between the North and South poles.
Can you imagine his conversation with B.O. last week! Probably sold him some carbon credits. And what about Angela Merkel! What a reversal and how happy the Brits anf French must be!

Sounds to me like we have been lucky that we are heating this place up : (link to full article)

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, using supercomputers and advanced climate models have hypothesised that human actions started causing global warming between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago.
….
a climatologist from the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Climatic research also think that the build up of greenhouse gases over thousands of years has prevented the start of a new glacial age.

Phew … just think what this winter would be like if we hadn’t started AGW thousands of years ago!
