Yeah - wonder who's doing the fiddling kiwithrottler?

Just seems downright strange that Gordon Brown (PM of UK) has no problem pushing through a 3rd runway at Heathrow whilst solemnly summoning the graces of nations at Copenhagen to accept the world is in peril because of humans and climate change just four days later.  Bit like dazzamc going on about people changing their ways if they could "see" Co2 output - but still quite ok to drive the length of the country in a large gas guzzling private motor vehicle  (man, thats really special).  Not nearly as special as your cartoon spamming though.

Anyway; about Gordon; check out the dates:

15 Dec 2008 - the bit about Gordon and the third runway:

A third runway at Heathrow is to be approved next month as Gordon Brown prepares to overrule objections made by ministers within his Cabinet.

Allies of the Prime Minister said yesterday that he was as determined as ever to support a plan that he believes is vital for Britain's commerce...

So.  Got anything intelligent to say?

Meanwhile, Pakistan is suffering the biggest floods on record ever in yet another example of the weather extremes caused by global warming.

Um, except the IPCC has had to back off any such claims, since statistically global warming has not made the weather extreme.

[Ares Abani]

I actually believe this climate shit is real. However, I believe feeding our families is more important than saving a tree or allowing the nutty greens to control ANYTHING. We sure as hell don't need that shit I read that was discussed in copenhagan last Dec. I find it insulting we have to suck the ass of that nosy bunch the UN. We sure as heck don't need to be told what we can and can't do by the"Facility" pff They want to get all our presidents PM, whatever to sign on to letting their decision rule our lives.. Fuck we will all be dressed in jumpsuits, our homes stripped to the bear essentilas, and bussed to work camps just so they can say they cut emissions.It doesn't matter if we all move into caves, park ever car, stop all fossil fuel use the course has been set there ain't no stopping the Earth rejuvinating herself.

Hahaha....I was wondering which big fish would be the first to be lured by my line, hook, bait and sinker.

Now I know....

Yes, it looks like you're right. It also looks like he is vying for the title of village idiot this year.

‘Never mind the heat, climate change is hoax by gravy-train scientists’

Russia Today
Aug 10, 2010
Russia’s deadly wildfires, the smog-filled cities and poor harvest, are being seen by some environmentalists as signs of man-made climate change. But Piers Corbyn of the Weather Action Foundation says the heatwave is only down to climate cycles…

Giant iceberg could pose threat to oil, shipping

An iceberg four times the size of Manhattan that broke from a glacier is drifting across Arctic waters.

Associated Press | 8:45AM - Wednesday, 11 August 2010



IT'S SLOWLY DRIFTING across Arctic waters, an iceberg four times the size of Manhattan that broke off from a glacier in Greenland over the weekend.

Potentially in the path of this unstoppable giant are oil platforms and shipping lanes — and any collision could do untold damage. In a worst case scenario, large chunks of it could reach the heavily trafficked waters where another Greenlandic iceberg sank the Titanic in 1912.

It's been a summer of near Biblical climatic havoc across the planet, with wildfires raging in Russia and floods claiming lives across Asia. But the moment the Petermann glacier cracked — giving birth to the biggest Arctic ice island in half-century — it may symbolise a warming world like no other.

"It's so big that you can't prevent it from drifting. You can't stop it," said Jon-Ove Methlie Hagen, a glaciologist at the University of Oslo.

Few images can capture the world's climate fears like a 260 sq kilometre chunk of ice breaking off Greenland's vast ice sheet, a reservoir of freshwater that if it collapsed would raise global sea levels by a devastating 6 metres.

The world's newest ice island also evokes two terrors that have lodged into the collective imagination: The old one of the Titanic and, in endangering oil rigs in its path, the new one of the Gulf oil spill.

Already it is being used as a powerful emblem in the global warming debate: One Massachusetts Congressman has suggested, with presumed sarcasm, that it serve as a home for climate sceptics.

Researchers are in a scramble to plot the trajectory of the floating ice shelf, which is drifting toward the Nares Strait separating Greenland's northwestern coast and Canada's Ellsemere Island.

If it makes it into the strait before the winter freeze - due to start next month — it would likely be carried south by ocean currents, hugging Canada's east coast until it enters waters busy with oil exploration and shipping off Newfoundland.

"That's where it starts to become dangerous," said Mark Drinkwater, of the European Space Agency.

The Canadian Ice Service estimates the journey will take one to two years. It's likely to break up as it bumps into other icebergs and jagged islands. The fragments would be further ground down by winds and waves and start to melt as it moves into warmer waters.

"But the fragments may still be quite large," warned Trudy Wohlleben, a Canadian ice forecaster who first spotted the massive chunk of ice on satellite images on August 05.

Large enough to threaten Canada's offshore platforms in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Wohlleben said iceberg control companies can redirect smaller icebergs, by towing them or spraying them with water cannons.

"I don't think they could do with an iceberg that large," she said. "They would have to physically move the rig."

Greenland's glaciers pump out thousands of icebergs into Arctic waters every year, but scientists say this is the biggest in the northern hemisphere since 1962.

It stores enough freshwater to keep the Hudson River flowing for more than two years, said Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware.

The ice shelf is likely to remain at the heart of the global warming discussion during its lonely journey.

Though the link to climate change is unclear, the unusual event coincides with worrisome signs of warming the Arctic.

Since 1970, temperatures have risen more than 2.5 degrees Celcius in much of the Arctic, much faster than the global average. In June the Arctic sea ice cover was at the lowest level for that month since records began in 1979, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The behaviour of Greenland's glaciers, which have accelerated in recent years, is one of the least understood pieces of the climate puzzle.

A team of climate scientists who visited the Petermann glacier last year, expecting it to crack then, is now planning another trip within weeks.

"We did leave behind a couple of time lapse cameras and 11 GPS (units). Now we are scrambling to get up there and recover the data," said Jason Box, an expert on Greenland glaciers from the Byrd Polar Research Centre at Ohio State University.

Box and two British researchers travelled to the glacier last year with Greenpeace activists who offered space aboard their ship, the Arctic Sunrise, to scientists studying climate change.

They were hoping to capture the event with cameras rolling, which would have been a powerful image just months before the Copenhagen climate talks that failed to produce a binding treaty to reduce heat-trapping gas emissions.

"It would have been nice if it had broken off last year," said Melanie Duchin, who led that Greenpeace expedition. "I mean ice melting, it doesn't get any simpler than that."

Still, she finds it ironic that the Petermann breakup happened to the backdrop of a catastrophe linked to fossil fuels. The Arctic Sunrise is now in the Gulf of Mexico, surveying the massive oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

That giant iceberg is a glacier and thats what they do
they break off when they hit the sea maybe its due to the rising and falling of the tides going in and out.

Those warming scammers are grasping at straws, its a giant pile of scare mongering

If you are dumb enough, you can leapfrog over the logic that if a similar event caused the Titanic to sink and this is the largest such event "since 1962", and use this to reinforce your quasi religious obsession with trying to link the very existence of mankind with an impending imaginary disaster.

Whether you buy into global warming or not it is obvious that something is up with the climate and that using finite resources and pollution are going to come back and bite us.

Waste not want not is still a valid mantra to live by.

Back when the iceberg was new

Greenland glacier calves island 4 times the size of Manhattan, UD scientist reports  it last happened at this scale in 1962. Must have been climate change back then too. Watch the media now as this story is only about an hour old. BTW it fractured, not melted, and in case some people forget: glaciers calve to the sea there, it is what they do. – Anthony
