I repost my last Post on this Thread: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=772755 in the event you might like to observe the genesis of this one and perhaps to pick up a few additional commentators, the more the merrier and who knows, maybe some new perspectives or even an awakening to the reality of the Global warming hoax perpetrated upon your innocent souls:
Now that I have dispensed with the CO2 hysteria rampant among the Greenies, let us move on to two more sacred cows of the Left, Glacial Melting and Ocean Level rises...both fallacies, both refuted as the Gobal Warming Farce is being exposed and the chicks are coming home to roost:

Melting glaciers, shrinking polar ice and rising oceans?

And the receding glaciers on Earth, that are in accelerating retreat all over? The melting polar ice caps? The rising sea levels?
Well, first of all, the sea levels are not rising. The mean sea level was established and marked in 1841 at the Isle of the Dead, in Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. There has been no rise in the sea level since then, at best only a very small rise, no more than 1.6 cm or just a little less than two-thirds of an inch during all of the last century. A good case is being made for the claim that during the total interval since 1841 the mean sea level even fell a little. John L. Daly (deceased), science advisor to the Greening Earth Society, resided in Tasmania and investigated the history of the mean-sea-level marker there....
And as to the retreating glaciers, according to Dr. Landscheidt, the World Glacier Monitoring Network in Zurich identifies that "presently 55% of the glaciers in high latitudes are advancing compared with 5% around 1950...
Let's consider exhaustive and in-depth studies of northern glaciers. The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change reports that the northern glaciers in the world that should, according to the climate alarmists, be in rapid melt-down, do nothing of the sort. Especially during the past few decades some of them have been advancing and others exhibit a marked slowing down of the rate at which they had been retreating during the first half of the 20th century.
Taken together, these observations from high northern latitudes, where CO2-induced global warming is supposed to be most evident, provide no evidence for that dreaded phenomenon. In fact, they suggest that nothing out of the ordinary is occurring at all. Hence, we once again have a situation where the predictions of today's best climate models fail to conform to reality.

The summary from which that quote was taken contains links to additional summaries of studies of northern regions of glaciation or of specific glaciers:
1. In a review of "the most current and comprehensive research of Holocene glaciation," along the northernmost Gulf of Alaska between the Kenai Peninsula and Yakutat Bay, Calkin et al. (2001) report there were several periods of glacial advance and retreat over the past 7000 years. ...
2. Subsequent to this time [the last half of the 19th century], as the planet emerged from the depths of the Little Ice Age, the mass balance records of the 18 Arctic glaciers with the longest observational histories were studied by Dowdeswell et al. (1997). ...."ice-core records from the Canadian High Arctic islands indicate that the generally negative glacier mass balances observed over the past 50 years [when the vast majority of the CO2 resulting from human activities entered the atmosphere] have probably been typical of Arctic glaciers since the end of the Little Ice Age [our italics]," when the magnitude of anthropogenic CO2 emissions was a whole lot less than it has been from 1950 onward.
3. Additional evidence that the Arctic's glaciers are not responding to human-induced warming comes from the studies of Zeeberg and Forman (2001) and Mackintosh et al. (2002), who indicate there has been an expansion of glaciers in the European Arctic over the past few decades.
4. Other glacier observations that run counter to climate model predictions are discussed by Mackintosh et al. (2002), who concentrated on the 300-year history of the Solheimajokull outlet glacier on the southern coast of Iceland. In 1705, this glacier had a length of about 14.8 km; and by 1740 it had grown to 15.2 km in length. Thereafter, it began to retreat, reaching a minimum length of 13.2 km in 1783. Rebounding rapidly, however, the glacier returned to its 1705 position by 1794; and by 1820 it equaled its 1740 length. This maximum length was maintained for the next half-century, after which the glacier began a slow retreat that continued to about 1932, when its length was approximately 14.75 km. Then it wasted away more rapidly, reaching a second minimum-length value of approximately 13.8 km about 1970, whereupon it began to rapidly expand, growing to 14.3 km by 1995.

Now...I am taking bets as to how many Posts it takes before one of the Left Liberal Intellectual Elites comes up with a counter link and assaults my source material. Then of course, let slip the dogs of slippery spin doctoring as the accusations will fly far and wide smudging all along the way.
I may as well slap the faces of most of the ladies present by indicting all the bunny and bambi lovers, remnants of the free love generation with misplaced maternal instincts who fall faint at the sight of Lamb chops, as the instigators of this mass hypnosis of dooms day scenarios where evil men destroy the world in their avarice and greed and Adam Smith is pilloried again as the father of Capitalism, I.E. the FREE market.
I am sorry, ladies, but since you got the vote and you have, ahem, 'thrust ' yourselves upon the political world and changed it to suit your sensitive noses and psyche's, things have literally gone to hell in a handbasket. We always knew the ladies were more sensitive, kinder and gentler, ( I think Bush was Bi), and prone to fainting spells and emotional outbursts, but we never considered they would take that extreme emotionalism into the market place and pulbic policy, but Good God Almighty, they have, and with a vengeance.
For the fluffy bimbo's among us, who just like anonymous titillation and are seduced into believing what the persuasive majority imposes upon them and truly believe all the poppycock of the Global Warming Hysterectomy, I apologize for the wake-up call to reality...but...it is long overdue.
As you are now indeed an equal partner in all things good and bad, drop the cute little curtsies and man up...or be the female you really are and STFU!
