It's Worse Than We Thought… Again… "Warming may be irreversible by 2017"

Look closely at the photo at the top of the article. Look at the larger view in the source article. Notice how dark the ice surface is where the intrepid explorers are walking. That’s soot. From Asia. That’s why the ice is melting.

Pamela, if they have alternative information, I would agree with you. …The teachers would not stand for it. One reason is that it would go against the curriculum they are teaching. The LAST thing these teachers want is students questioning their lessons on AGW….

The teachers do not want the students questioning ANYTHING what they want is good little team players not individual thinkers and they make DARN sure that is what they turn out.

… Over the last three decades the rate of drug treatment for behavior problems has increased exponentially, culminating in the prescription of ADHD drug treatment for at least 5 to 6 million American children annually….In the same Virginia region previously studied,… Among elementary students, 17% of all students and 33% of white boys had been diagnosed with ADHD and the vast majority had been medicated for this condition at some time during the 1997-98 school year…. http://www.srmhp.org/0201/adhd.html
Given the hells our schools have become, I recommend Homeschooling to my customers when ever possible. (I do children’s entertainment) Two million American children are schooled at home, with the number growing at 15 to 20 percent per year. These kids are the future of our
country.

…Homeschooled children are, on average, ahead of their peers academically, often by several years. And they spend less time studying because there is less time wasted. Homeschooled children are eagerly accepted by colleges, where they perform BETTER than other children. Gifted children usually do very well when they are homeschooled. Studies are showing that homeschooled children are getting a much better education that kids in the public schools (especially in the U.S., partly because standards in American public schools are so low.)

I’m not wild about that trend line placement. The swings are bigger because of solar minimum and increased vulcanism. We could easily be looking to frack a stratosphere eruption to cool things down by 2017. There are some sly cats who also think that, and they’ve managed somehow to go in and hide much of the abundant volcanism of the 1930s from the records. So that it cannot be used against their AGW religion.
It could even go the other way and they lose. Several large volcanic eruptions could change everything. If they make the stratosphere.

Irreversible warming? Does that mean we won’t slip back into the “glacial” phase of our current ice-age… ever? Excellent!

As i have said it is the 5 years “irreversible” rule. The disaster is and always be 5 years from the present.

The usual schlock from the usual shysters.

2017? It could be sooner than we thought. I was sent this email today from an organisation called Avaaz. Of course, they are looking for money to send a team to Durban. The email was accompanied by an online petition and the petition had a photograph of two poor Polar Bears ‘stranded’ on a bit of ice. Poor things.
Dear friends,
Our planet is dying and big oil companies have key nations in their pockets, blocking any chance of a climate treaty. We have 3 days before UN talks end — let’s call on the EU, Brazil and China to lead us towards a deal to save the planet! Click here to sign the urgent petition:
Our oceans are dying, our air changing, and our forests and grasslands turning to deserts. From fish and plants to wildlife to human beings, we are killing the planet that sustains us, and fast. There is one single greatest cause of this destruction of the natural world — climate change, and in the next 3 days, we have a chance to stop it.
The UN treaty on climate change — our best hope for action — expires next year. But a greedy US-led coalition of oil-captured countries is trying to kill it forever. It’s staggeringly difficult to believe: they are trading short term profits for the survival of our natural world.
The EU, Brazil and China are all on the fence — they are not slaves to oil companies the way the US is, but they need to hear a massive call to action from people before they really lead financially and politically to save the UN treaty. The world is gathered at the climate summit for the next 3 days to make the big decision. Let’s send our leaders a massive call to stand up to big oil and save the planet — an Avaaz team at the summit will deliver our call directly:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_planet_is_dying/?vl
Things are becoming desperate. All over our planet extreme weather continues to smash records, leaving millions homeless and without food or shelter. We’re rapidly reaching our point of no return to stop runaway climate change — we only have until 2015 to start making drastic reductions to our carbon pollution.
Yet despite this very real urgency, the world has failed to mobilise against the fossil fuel-captured democracy of the US. Not only content with wrecking the Copenhagen talks and the Kyoto protocol, they are now building a coalition of climate treaty killers to put the final nail in the coffin of international negotiations in Africa.
Our only hope to turn things around lies with Europe, Brazil and China — they can make a deal happen, but they need to do it together, and that’s where we come in. Europe is tired, it’s fought long and hard on climate and needs a public boost. China has already agreed to binding commitments, is sensitive to its international reputation, and could lead further if we give it an encouraging push. And Brazil is hosting next year’s earth summit — making it eager to set the world up for climate success. Let’s build a giant global call to bring our champions together and build a green dream team. Sign the petition now and forward this email:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_planet_is_dying/?vl
The crazy focus on short term profits that motivates countries to stall and scuttle action on a climate crisis that literally threatens the survival of all of us cannot be tolerated. Fortunately, our movement has the power to intervene in this process and demand change. Let’s stand together and inspire others to stand with us for a safer, more humane world.
With hope and determination,
Luis, Emma, Ricken, Iain, Antonia, Morgan, Dalia, Pascal and the rest of the Avaaz team

“the rebound of the world’s economies following the 2008 financial crisis” … These people obviously want to delude us about economics just as much as they do about climate.
Crosspatch – re. your several political posts, sadly, my friend, I entirely agree with you. And to all those who dismiss them as conspiratorial alarmism, perhaps you should reflect that the tiny group of humanoids concerned have, if they need it, the ultimate way to force this crap on us. Force.

Crosspatch:
Don’t get too carried away with the idea that the general public can be “manipulated and indoctrinated” that easily. (If so, why are the polls not showing it?)
All the influence in the world isn’t going to work unless the planet actually warms up.
Even Goebbels’ vaunted propaganda machine wasn’t able to convince people that the Nazis and the military were able to defend the country when the bombs were falling. (Bill Shirer has some interesting observations on this in his Berlin Diary.)
It’s also worth considering that these people may be working to maintain their own self-deception as much as anything else.

Are you forgetting, that they were able to capture an entire generation within the Hitler Youth.
Total control over information will enslave everyone, including the staunch skeptic. How can it not when all information confirms the status quo?? When consensus determines science… we are done like cookies. Remember – a cooling planet can be reported as a warming one. They merely state:

Those of you, who are presently experiencing cooling, must be reminded that it is only LOCAL weather, NOT GLOBAL. Look here on the pretty chart… See… PROOF POSITIVE.

You can’t use a graph of only 10 years of data to talk about climate change. Climate needs to be discussed in terms of several decades, if not centuries.
Here is the same data used in that graph (HadCRUT3 Temperature Anomaly) since the 1860s http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhshgl.gif ”
You are absolutely right, What you have to look at is all that blue going down to 0.5c on the left, when temps were low globally. Then you look slowly across to the right as it goes to zero, then up to +0.5c in the same way to a peak. Guess whats coming next? Yep, its going down, it’s a cycle.
That’s how you look at long term data, you dont just go “oh it was cool now its hot, we are all gonna burn”.
