Global Warming: Will Anyone Listen to the Founder of the Weather Channel ? (Post 29)

John Coleman is the founder of the weather channel. He has studied climate and weather for many years. Recently, he called the global warming movement a “scam” on his blog. His article is Linked Here from ICECAP. Will anyone listen to John Coleman ?

I just discovered the ICECAP website. It looks informative and I encourage people to visit the site.

I also came across this very interesting lecture from Bob Carter, an Australian research professor. You can listen to his fascinating lecture (37 minutes in length), presented in Sept, 2007, in 4 parts at these Links.

Here is a related article by Professor Carter entitled: ” The Myth of Dangerous Human-Caused Climate Change”.

Global Warming: Is Arctic Ice Melt a Concern? (Post 28)

Arctic ice is melting today. There is no doubt about it. Many people are alarmed that ships might actually be able to travel through arctic waters in 20-30 years, or sooner. The Washington Post has written about melting glaciers and the disappearance of Arctic sea ice before. Here is a copy of the article. The only thing is: the article was written in 1922 ! One thing the Post did not do was blame the warmer temperatures observed in 1922 on CO2 concentrations.
The 1922 article puts some perspective on what is occurring in the Arctic today. Only 50 years after the Post article, it was global cooling, and the possibility of excess Arctic ice that many people were concerned about.
