I totally agree with Doug K, apart from the fact that it is important we know the cause of this global warming. The best we can do in the meantime is lobby for government “green’ strategies whilst individually conserving as much energy as we can.
We could also prepare for the future by considering whether or not realestate should so be close to oceans and have new homes built to withstand the potential changes in climate. Mandatory water tanks, solar/wind power and some self sufficiency with food Not easy, everything we buy and use, everything we do, all our travel be it on terra firma or in skies has some effects towards the global warming. We are the part of the cause.

According to AL Gore shouldn’t we up to our belly buttons in water by now?
I mean the this the most ice that has ever melted in human recorded history(actually 1979)I would expect at least one the ocean states to flooded.

After reading this blog, the question in my mind is whether the reduction in arctic ice is due to a cyclical warming cycle or due to more permanent climate change. No matter what the answer, why not err on the side of caution and try to do everything possible to reduce greenhouse gases and to conserve energy? If nothing else, we can try to be good stewards of what we now have.

We can now put to rest the idea that we can blame the sun instead of ourselves. Recent NASA studies have concluded that changing levels of energy from the sun of a few tenths of a percent are not significant enough to be a major cause of global warming. NASA concluded: “changing levels of energy from the sun are not a major cause of global warming”. http://solar-center.stanford.edu/sun-on-earth/FAQ2.html

When will the Goverments of the world get it ? We have a Global warming problem that will kill our earth and mankind. The proof is there. Are they that stupid or (Bought and paid for) and when will they finially try to do something about it.
It will too late..

Scientists have correlated Earth temperatures with solar radiation. Yep, it isn’t us, the sun is getting warmer.

It says smallest on record right. In other words, this is the smallest time you have measured, but no the smallest period. Thanks. I got it.

Quote Article “As you’ve probably read elsewhere, the famed Northwest Passage, sought by explorers for centuries”
We humans call ourselves the most intelligent animal on the planet, but only the least bright of us would ignore possible future extinction in favor of more lucrative commerce. Keep driving those SUV’s people… We’ll soon have shipping lanes in the Antartic as well!

This couldn’t possibly be related to global warming and to what scientists have been screaming about for years could it? Nahh, that woud make too much sense.
