'08 Sea Ice Level Highest Since 1979

Despite the dire predictions of environmentalist extremist nutcases who warned that Arctic sea ice was melting at an unprecedented rate, the year 2008 closed out with the highest level of sea ice since 1979.

According to the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center, satellite images of the polar regions show that the level of ice is at the same level recorded in 1979--the first year satellite images were used to gauge sea ice levels.

A key excerpt from the report:

Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008. Instead, the Arctic ice saw a substantial recovery. Bill Chapman, a researcher with the UIUC's Arctic Center, tells DailyTech this was due in part to colder temperatures in the region. Chapman says wind patterns have also been weaker this year. Strong winds can slow ice formation as well as forcing ice into warmer waters where it will melt.

I suppose this means, of course, that the polar bear will immediately be removed from the endangered species list, given that the prediction that very soon the Arctic would completely melt didn't pan out.

Wonder how long we'll be waiting for that one...

ATTENTION, BARACK OBAMA AND AL GORE!

To Mr. Obama and Mr. Gore,

I hate to break it to ya, guys, but a London newspaper has outed you for your ruse on global warming!

2008--The Year Man-Made Global Warming Was Disproved

The really smart people of the world know this already. So why are you two still spouting the old politically correct scare tactic that the earth is getting ready to implode unless we allow government to tell us what to drive, eat, wear, and live in?

Get over it already. We ain't listening anymore.

Sincerely,
The Liberty Sphere

A New Climate Resource for Those Wanting Facts

Just a few days after the November 4 election, Barack Obama stated that when it comes to climate change, 'The science is beyond dispute.'

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that such a statement is patently false, that is, unless their political ideology trumps any serious consideration of actual scientific fact.

For too long Americans have been treated to scientific hypothesis, theory, and conjecture being presented as 'fact' and 'settled science.'

Now there is a scientific resource available online that presents the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on the climate.

The International Climate Science Coalition is an organization of climate scientists from around the world whose mission is to combat the faulty 'science' of the 'global warming' enthusiasts by presenting actual, verifiable data that contradicts the accepted wisdom as propounded by Barack Obama, the environmentalist movement, the United Nations, and Leftist politicians.

The core principles of the organization can be found here, and their distinguished team of scientists and policy advisers can be found here.

In addition to the scientific data presented by experts, the Coalition also publishes periodically on its website the views of writers, bloggers, columnists, and others on the subject of climate change.

The Liberty Sphere, among others, is cited in the latest post by the Coalition, calling attention to a recent piece concerning Obama's asinine comments on global warming.

The ICSC should prove to be a valuable resource for those seeking the real truth about what is happening to our planet and the reasons behind it.
