When I cast my vote at the poles I'm going to need some real hard evidence that there is a climate crisis especially since the predictions have being declared for 24 years. This is too important an issue to leave to just "feeling" it is the right thing to do. Fear is not sustainable.
When will voters actually experience this climate crisis because "they say" is not sustainable wouldn't you agree?

If you are planning to go to the poles, you are going to have rush as the North Pole is allegedly melting at such a rate that it's not likely to be around. The South Pole, on the other hand, is getting bigger by the day. If you are planning to vote, you could do with going to the Polls.....

Thomas, if Meme Mine were going to the poles, they'd still be there. No need to rush.
It's just a question of travel means, and what's on top of that point where all longitude lines meet -- the Pole.
The point that is the pole in the south will not expand, only the amount of ice and snow around it and on top of it.
The point that is the pole in the north will merely be reachable by boat or sled, or, if you prefer, by solid ice or if by sea.

Whether its true or not, the question remains, is it due to man?

Before 1000 AD there was very warm weather in what is now the UK. Archaeologists have found fossils of non-native plants in England dating back to that time. By around 1300 AD, temperaturs in England got very cold, and during that era it was not uncommon for there to be Winter Festivals held on the frozen Thames River (The Thames never freezes now) .

I think it can be said that those events were not caused by burning fossil fuels or the internal combustion engine. Proof of climate change (which we do not have) does not prove man-caused global warming (now renamed climate change because the planet is cooling).

I have said this before, and will say it again because it is beyond dispute: (1) Mankind's survival requires affordable, efficient, reliable energy, (2) Oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear are efficient, affordable, and reliable sources of energy, (3) Wind, and solar are expensive, inefficient, and unreliable energy sources (if they were efficient or cost effective we'd be using them now), and finally (4) raising energy prices raises food prices which is a death sentence to over a billion people in the 3rd World living off of less than a $1 a day.

therefore,

Environmentalism is genocide.

We're done here.

My guess is the "Warmers" will follow President Truman's advice, and stay completely out of the kitchen for the next several dinner parties.

Global Warmists and professional faith healers. Proof that man hasn't really risen above his original foolish state.

What a coincidence.

Just this morning I posted a my own list of AGW Hoaxers, on another AmSpecBlog thread. Here's the list:

James Hansen (NASA and tree-hugging activist).

Mikey Mann (Mr. Hockey Stick and chief Hoaxer).

Phil Jones (who is now throwing his colleagues under the bus).

All the defenders of the CRU of East Anglia U.

All the NOAA scientists who, during the 2006 season, made the absurd prediction (May 22) that there would be "[...] 13 to 16 named storms, with eight to 10 becoming hurricanes [...]." There were barely 5 hurricanes that year. None of them made landfall.

Chairman Rajenda Pachauri and all the other non-climate scientists on the UN's IPCC.

Last, but not least, that well known, brilliant global climate scientist- algore.

A hundred years ago, most of the world's scientists didn't believe the Wright brothers and said they were lying. So, again, it doesn't matter how many scientists say X it true. If X is false, or they can't prove X is true, all of them are....WRONG!

Why would any sane person want the climate to be cooler?

Historians tell us about the miseries of the "Little Ice Age" and the prosperity of the Roman and Medieval warm Periods.

Good on you, keep spreading the news.
How could blacker skies be making us hotter? It's ridiculous.

Doug Bandow's 'Climategate and Its Children' is not an attempt to lighten the issue of global warming but to warn an overenthusiastic climate alarmists. People who travel to poles should know the limits. Good gossip but in lighter vein. gas grill sale
