1. Of course, the Goracle came out of hiding to claim that. You would’ve needed a milk carton campaign to find him this winter, when record cold and record snows were being recorded.

2. No, it was mainly caused by the eradication of mangrove fields (as silly as that sounds).

3. Small sea level rises have large effects when a hurricane brings the storm surge through. Ask anybody in Florida where their beaches went.

4. Problem with your theory, John P., is that the poles and permanent ice fields underwent the most significant ice buildup ever seen this last winter. This was a pretty routine typhoon (it would help if you kept the proper naming conventions) that hit the absolutely worst location. There have been no massive increases in storms (nor decreases) out of the range of typical variation.

5. Are you implying that global ice volume has recovered from recent losses? Have you got a link for that? The scientific consensus is that the multi-year ice lost last year was replaced with relatively thin, single-year ice.

   Here’s an argument at Climate Progress that pretty much sums up the loss of ice volume. Or you can just look for yourself:

   That’s a lot of area below the median line that was absorbing sunlight when it usually doesn’t. Unless somebody opened up a special trapdoor in the atmosphere to let it out much of that heat is still here.

6. The artic ice thinness that was made up with the thickening of the Antarctic ice. Unfortunately, I’m in a firefight involving real work at the moment. I’ll come back to it when I can.

7. s**t happens aren’t we lucky to live here. Now lets get into the country and save the lives of people who aren’t so lucky. Frankly, we all getting bored with this Global warming carbon footprint rubbish. earth will be fine, nature always evens the balance…. we spew out CO, nature doesn’t give us so many volcanic emissions. As far as humans go, I’m not sure about them

8. I think we are trying to get into the country to save lives Scott. The problem is that the ruling totalitarians won’t let us in. Needless to say, this American won’t donate to the humanitarian crisis since the money or food will never reach those affected anyway.

   Its all Bush’s fault!
