    Here is a good response to the recent sea ice recovery article.

    This may get locked but I had to post to clear something up.

    Oz did not get bad rep for saying there is no god, he got bad rep from someone that mistakenly thought OZ believed in god and 6000 year old earth.





    "Both Rose and Dixon referenced a 2007 BBC article quoting Professor Wieslaw Maslowski saying that the Arctic could be ice free in the summer of 2013. In a 2011 BBC article, he predicted ice-free Arctic seas by 2016 "plus or minus three years." Other climate scientists believe this prediction is too pessimistic, and expect the first ice-free Arctic summers by 2040."

    "Both articles also claimed that "some scientists" are predicting that we're headed into a period of global cooling. Both named just one scientist making this claim – Professor Tsonis of the University of Wisconsin, whose research shows that slowed global surface warming is only temporary. In fact, Tsonis' co-author Kyle Swanson wrote,"
    "What do our results have to do with Global Warming, i.e., the century-scale response to greenhouse gas emissions? VERY LITTLE, contrary to claims that others have made on our behalf."

    I just want to point out that everybody thought my prediction was crazy that someone would bring up "homosexuals" as some form of point or evidence. It happened. Legendary.
