When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
As someone who lives in the northern parts of the world, I can tell you that the change is noticeable.
ReplyDeleteEli Fennell source for your statement?
ReplyDeleteWhat climate change??? (speeding off in my SUV)
ReplyDeleteGabriel Perren: Anthony Watts, noted warming denialist.
ReplyDeleteEli Fennell - "Particularly extreme". What exactly does that mean? It is a pretty vague description.
ReplyDeleteEli Fennell - I have to read something? Uhhh... Okay, maybe. ◔_◔
ReplyDeleteIt didn't really answer my question, but okay...

I mean, yeah, compared to the Jurassic Period when Earth was 6-8 degrees hotter and there were no glaciers anywhere, this is nothing.
ReplyDeleteBring back the giant lizardsss!!!!!
Eli Fennell is correct. Here's an article by the scientist that manages the cammera that took the picture (Jamie Morison): http://psc.apl.washington.edu/northpole/WebCams.html
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to see more recent pictures by that cammera which now shows ice: http://psc.apl.washington.edu/northpole/NPEO2013/webcams1and2.html
Things like these only serve to give climate change deniers something to use as a stick later on: "Look how they lied about the North Pole! Why should we believe anything else they say?" and so on.
It seems like some people doesn't understand the idea of global warming¹. ¯\(°_o)/¯
ReplyDelete¹or science.
Patrik Hanson: That's why it should be called Warming Globe and not Global Warming.
ReplyDeleteAndres Soolo - Or... People could simply educate themselves.
ReplyDeletePatrik Hanson: The people whose behaviour you can influence, or the people whose behaviour you're trying hard to influence but it is not yet budging?
ReplyDeleteAndres Soolo - Yes.
ReplyDeletePatrik Hanson: If your plan to change people's behaviour depends on these same people changing their behaviour first, you're going to have a circular time.
ReplyDeleteAndres Soolo - Is that so? Okay. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is disappointing when weather phenomena are used as evidence for or against climate change.
ReplyDeleteOnly large scale data will tell the story, either way. Graphs and formula aren't very eye-catching for G+ posts so unfortunately we get insinuating images rather than scientific info.
I understand the desire to put this forward as evidence of climate change, but it isn't scientifically useful evidence and may simply muddy the waters for the lay person.
