“Climate Change” Quote-of-Note


Another Little Gem Picked Up at Tuesday's ICCC in Washington....

We’re seeing the reality of a lot of the North Pole starting to evaporate, and we could get to a tipping point. Because if it evaporates to a certain point – they have lanes now where ships can go that couldn’t ever sail through before. And if it gets to a point where it evaporates too much, there’s a lot of tundra that’s being held down by that ice cap.

Waxman convinced me- "Floating Tundra Syndrome"

Erick Brockway (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 10:18PM EST (link)

If that ice cap goes any farther north the tundra could just up and float away.
“Floating Tundra Syndrome” can be every bit as dangerous as…as… well it can be pretty dang dangerous.

 

Awww

Isn’t that cute! Who’s this little Henry Waxman fellow? Was this part of his 3rd grade science fair project? Well, hopefully little Hank will grow up and realize that the “North Pole” isn’t really “evaporating”…

Good luck young man. /sarc off

 

Maybe Henry thinks "Tundra" is a drink

and if too much ice melts, it waters down the vodka.

I’m just sayin’

Ah, "Floating Tundra" = grenadine on top

Agree. I was wondering about the tundra...

roscopico (Diary) Wednesday, June 3rd at 10:31PM EST (link)

as the north pole is not a landmass.

Just sayin’.

BTW, Skanderbeg is awesome. Props!

What do they have these things Quarterly? You were just reporting from there in March we had discussions: Climate Cycles/Shifts

Back from Alaska with AGW Glacier Update

GregInFla (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 12:15AM EST (link)

I took the family on a cruise, and it was great. But I need to share a piece of it here. First stop was Memorial Day in Juneau (home of 200-plus-inch snowfalls last two years), and we took a bus up to the Mendenhall Glacier. Before a film at the National Park center, the Park Ranger just had to comment that the glacier was receding due to global warming, and we need to help. Of course, if glaciers did not recede, we would not have the Great Lakes, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Niagara Falls, or much drinking water in upper Midwest. And, as my 18-year-old son further commented to me, building park centers and having folks walk on the glacier area and driving trucks on the glacier so that environmentalists can drill holes in it probably does not help either. (His comments were a moment of pride, as we homeschool our kids.) Drill holes in ice, and you might fall in.

Later that day, we went up to Mt. Roberts on the Tramway. (This is a must if you go there. The views are breathtaking.) In the gift shop, I find a book on the Hubbard Glacier, which we were going to cruise up to the next day. It seems the Hubbard Glacier is advancing, growing, at a very high rate, defying the teachings of the global warming priesthood. If I had only known this at Mendenhall I would have challenged the young, brain-washed ranger. And by the way, we got to witness the calving of the Hubbard Glacier from the cruise ship (HAL Amsterdam) and it was truly an awesome site. Achance, your state is beautiful. Thanks Alaska for the hospitality.

– The sign outside the courthouse said no signs allowed. So I took it down.

One more AGW note

GregInFla (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 12:20AM EST (link)

The Park Ranger on the cruise ship who narrated our viewing of Hubbard Glacier noted that not only is the Hubbard Glacier growing, but that it is definitely growing so fast that a few lakes may form behind it, trapped between it and moutain areas. No mention of Global Warming or Climate Change from him. And no, we never did track him down and ask him if maybe snowfall pattern had changed its cycle and more snow was falling on Hubbard Glacier area than Mendenhall. When outside on a ship deck surrounded by icey waters, ticking off the ranger would not have been a wise move.

there is way too much stupid in that quote, so it’s a good thing he leaves the laws to the scientists.

From the way little Henry phrased this bit of nonsense,

janis (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 8:54AM EST (link)

it made me think that the tundra, once freed of its onerous ice prison, would rampage through the northern climes looting and pillaging at will.

I propose this newly discovered land mass be named the “Waxman Tundra”.

And I shudder to think what would happen if that land mass ever broke free from its ice cap chains to terrorize one of the original seven,

“The senseless waste of pitting these two mighty forces of nature against each other, like matter vs. anti-matter, will be a tragedy, not only for the continents involved..” [ flips card over ] “..but for our planet. All nations must band together, to ensure that such a conflageration never takes place.”
