Climate change question?

Question

I recently read that scientists predict the Artic could completely melt much sooner than previously estimated(maybe even in the next few years).

If this happens, what does this mean for predictions about climate change from the IPCC or other groups?

Does this mean it is too late to make changes and mitigate the effects?

Answer 1

It is the arrogance of youth to think that the world is going to h**l just as you arrived on the seen.  You have been scammed by your left leaning, democrat supporting, union teacher, public school.  Al Gore the democrat who gets great press, lives in a twenty room plus eight bath mansion in Nashville, Tennessee.  Google "Al Gore's House" and see for yourself.  The much maligned George Bush's Crawford, Texas home is a relatively modest 4,000 square feet and uses a fraction of the energy of Al's.

Answer 2

Actually waffles, he said "there will be no peace, and the world will not pass away until He returns".  The other part is that he would not again destroy man and the works of man with flooding.  The rainbow is the symbol of that covenant.  He did not say he would not destroy man and the works of man by fire, and there are close to a hundred passages that state or imply that is part of our future.

Answer 3

It's never too late to attempt to mitigate things.  But the longer we put off taking serious steps to curb emissions, the more difficult the mitigation will be.

Because the IPCC report was a huge collaborative effort of many scientists that had to agree, the end result was a conservative estimate.  So anyone claiming it's an alarmist report, is badly mistaken.

Several things have already been observed that seems to indicate the IPCC report was too conservative and things may be progressing more rapidly.  But I wouldn't jump to any conclusions on that yet.

The Mayans, on the year 2012,  have as much or more credibility than Global Warming does.

If the melting of the ice caps happens to be true, then what better year to end its melting than 2012.

I wish we could save a few ice cubes from the artic for cocktails, for drinks while watching some giant asteroid, that has been sent towards the Earth by Nemesis . The goddess shall have some retribution at last.

Answer 5

THe new stats say the artic will lose large amounts of ice in roughly 100 years. Depending on which experts you believe of course. Many also say that the rate is exaggerated and that we will see very little effect.

Answer 6

Antarctica will never completely melt. Because if it did, then every living thing on this earth would die. And God promised

that never again would everything die on this earth until he came back. So there is no possible way that Antarctica could melt completely. It might melt some, but it will NEVER completely melt.

Answer 7

Global Warming is alittle like a LONG Train that's accelerating... Even if we could somehow completely STOP-immediately- all the hydro-carbons we're pouring into the Atmosphere, it would take DECADES for the "Train" to slow down & stop. And the FASTER we make the train GO, the LONGER it's gonna take It to Stop. ... And only THEN- can we even BEGIN- to throw that "Train" into Reverse (& reversing the Damage to the Environment) !!! So the while it's NOT TOO late to "throw the Brakes" on the process of Global Warming, if we don't do it SOON- WE are going to be the Ones the "Train" Runs Over!!!   :0

Answer 8

A lot of the ice has refroze over this unusually cold winter, climate change is not steady, but goes up and down, even though the world overall is slowly getting warmer.  I think the serious reprecutions of climate change are still a few decades away, but if in the next 3 years they melt, I owe you a coke.
