I'm into phase 2 of the building my ark. No, I do not plan to take two of each kind of animals with me. Disgusting creatures like roaches, fire ants, fleas, liberals, snakes, etc...will have to fend for themselves.

...but, as disgusting as they are, liberal creatures will sue you for a free ticket....plus three free squares per day.

NOAA: Warmest Global Ocean Surface Temperatures on Record for July

August 14, 2009

NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth’s environment, from the depths of the oceans to surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

North Atlantic Hurricane Season slowest since 1997

Global and Northern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclone Activity remains near 30-year historical lows -- three years in a row now of considerably below-average activity globally.

and what would the end result (water level-wise) be if the artix ice melted?

not likely. The average annual temperature of Antartica is -58 def F.

dawg80, increasing water vapor doesn't need the ice caps to melt.......plenty of water in the oceans as it is.

If surface land and ocean temperatures go up by 5 degrees C, that means a 35% increase in rainfall. Couple that with the expected increase in drought in some places and you have the making of some super-duper cloud bursts over large areas of land, say 3 or 4 counties, dropping 8, 10, 12, 20 inches of rain in a few hours. I saw something like that a couple of years ago on my weather radar in the southwest corner of Kansas. Totally unbelievable storm that covered at least 2 counties. My neighbor who is from Kansas told me that the local farmers had driven their farm implements onto the railroad tracks to escape the flooding and that the river of water in some places was 10 to 12 feet and swept them off of the tracks.

Climategate = Wow.

Holy crap. This is what I've been screaming about. The science has LONG since left this debate in return for political power and money. The "scientists" here should all lose any shred of credibility they have left.

that is fantastic

especially the part of them actively blackballing and suppressing critics. What wonderful Science. The AGW crowd sounds a lot like the "earth is the center of the universe" church crowd back in the day.

I remember someone saying that I was just being paranoid and speculative when I said that critics of AGW were getting pushed out. Well to whoever said that...
