Ice Melt

[Chris616]

Piney, I completely agree with you, even some of the reporting on the right is untrustworthy.

And I also agree that there are no truly unbiased news sources. Everything is written by people (well, until recently) and we almost all introduce our biases into what we write, even if unintentionally.

None of us on TBN, probably, have access to the raw data or have the technical training to evaluate the data to make our own interpretation of the results. So none of us can decide about AGW based on our own analysis. What we have to do is evaluate the sources of the information that we're reading and decide if they are more reliable and unbiased than the other places that we can get info from.

That website that I wrote about in post #202 is really pretty good. Before you read the article that Egon posted from The Guardian you could see the following to get an idea which way the newspaper leans, and how far.

The data based projections that I have seen "on line" have the global temperature change due to mans contributions to the planet at such a small level as to be totally consumed by the error bars.

With that sort of "conjecturing", it will be impossible to determine if ANYTHING we do to influence global climate makes any difference at all.

Think on that. Tens of TRILLIONS of dollars spent on well meaning but ineffective programs around the globe, and the results are lost in the noise. Worse, nothing may change, trends may continue, then what? Blame it on that we ALL didn't start early enough. (All the while some are not doing anything in spite of what they spout.)

It can be so frustrating being a human being. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

They should keep better track of where they put their ice.

2014? supporting links in the article appear to be about 4-5 years old.



In 2019 it appears to be losing 252 Gigatons.
