Dear Al Gore

Think basic thermodynamics! A higher global temp. is going to shift the balance between ice and water to less ice.

Climate change is nothing personal it's only business, got a ark for sale anyone interested .............

Think basic thermodynamics! A higher global temp. is going to shift the balance between ice and water to less ice.

 

And therein the crux, 'A higher global temp', is it long term, or the peak of a short term cycle? My view is that we don't know.

 

And if we are to base all our operative capacity on what might happen, then we should have a comet destruction force, and a zombie vaccine. Vampire cages, ghost traps, tin hats, I could go on...

 

Really we would be better served by saving the Tiger, Snow Leopard, etc and reducing human population numbers, feeding the poor, that sort of thing.

Don’t tell me Al Gore was exaggerating again!

With high-altitude mountains in Himachal Pradesh experiencing up to 100 cm fresh snowfall in November month after 10 years, the abundance of snow on mountains has rejuvenated nearly one thousand glaciers and has ensured uninterrupted supply of water for drinking, irrigation and hydel projects.

 

Even after years of research on glaciers and climate of Himalayas, scientists have failed to learn the pattern of the weather here. While scanty snowfall and rising temperature in last decade had sparked the possibilities of fast shrinking of glaciers, good spells of snowfall in last three years have changed the trend with glaciers almost growing to their original size. Some scientists say that despite heavy snowfall in winters, the extreme heat in summers is causing the melting of the glaciers with abnormal speed and others say extreme cold in winters is neutralizing the minor effect of risen temperature in summer. Overall, speed of melting of glaciers has reduced over the past few years only due to good snowfall in winter months.

 

This improves even on the good news reported in February:

 

The world’s greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.

 

The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.

 

The study is the first to survey all the world’s icecaps and glaciers and was made possible by the use of satellite data. Overall, the contribution of melting ice outside the two largest caps – Greenland and Antarctica – is much less than previously estimated, with the lack of ice loss in the Himalayas and the other high peaks of Asia responsible for most of the discrepancy.

 

Bristol University glaciologist Prof Jonathan Bamber, who was not part of the research team, said: “The very unexpected result was the negligible mass loss from high mountain Asia, which is not significantly different from zero.â€

 

Not what Al Gore was saying three years ago, when he was warning of a billion people running out of water:

[Specialist]

The first question that has to be answered (it has been asked, many times in many places) is "How do you define 'global temperature'? How do you measure it? Where do you stick the thermometer in?"

 

The related question is "How do you know you're measuring it the same way this year as you did last year?".

 

Every time the question is asked, the Global Warming folks evade and change the subject.

 

Of course, these *ARE* the same people who claimed to believe that Greenland had always been glaciated. (They didn't study history, presumably.) When a warm year a few years ago brought the old Viking dairy farm ruins to public view, they, not wanting to waste a good photo op, started screaming about the warming, only to see the glacier advance again and re-cover the farms.

Nope! Maybe if you actually read global warming studies, instead of reading the misrepresentations of the global warming naysayers, you would know the answers to your questions.

Prof Richard Muller, a physicist and climate change sceptic who founded the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (Best) project, said he was surprised by the findings. "We were not expecting this, but as scientists, it is our duty to let the evidence change our minds." He added that he now considers himself a "converted sceptic" and his views had undergone a "total turnaround" in a short space of time.

Going back to my school science days we conducted the experiment first,collected the data,then came to a conclusion.It seems some of these climate change scientists are so attached to one viewpoint that they are willing to ' bend ' the data to fit their theory.
