Comments on: Study: Most Arctic sea ice could disappear by 2040

Scientists point to human-induced global warming as primary cause; erosion could begin to rapidly accelerate in 2025.

There is an answer....

There are completely validated, Electro-Magnetic power generation technologies, that in proper operation generate essentially free-energy. These devices gather energy in part by absorbing ambient heat in the surrounding environment. Unfortunately the large energy and oil companies want to suppress this, but the base knowledge of its workings were understood and developed by Nikola Tesla decades ago. These technologies could aid in reducing global warming by several methods. 1. Most importantly its a clean generator consuming no resources, and could displace all other means of electrical generation. 2. The technology actually works better in the small scale, rather than the large, ideal for all kinds of devices to be self powered. 3. It does absorb ambient heat in proper operation (not that it will cool the earth by itself but every little bit helps.) The reason for the small scale working better than the large is a matter of frequency, smaller devices operate at higher frequencies, and the device requires high frequencies to achieve overunity performance. This is a good thing, it means a solution that can not be centrally generated and distributed, and charged for like our current system. Each person would generate their own power as needed, for free. That is also its greatest barrier to implementation, because it will not lend itself to centralized generation and distribution (such that it can be profited from), the energy companies do not even want to acknowledge it. If you doubt any of this, do some research, the truth is out there. Anyone who thinks this violates the 'laws of thermodynamics' doesn't know the laws as they really are, go back and read the conditions the laws are put under and realize those conditions do not exist.
1. There is no such thing as a closed system, that is purely an abstract idea.
2. Everything is in perpetual motion all the time, and has been since the begining of time, you have never observed anything that was not moving (think of how fast the earth moves, etc).
3. The law of conservation still tries to remain true, if you 'break' it, the universe effectively will supply the energy needed to make the 'books balance'.
4. Most importantly the laws of thermodynamics treat all energy forms as behaving just like heat energy, guess what, they don't. We are swimming in a sea of energy all around us, its time to tap into it.

That's because Crichton's a fiction writer.

There's as much proof for climate change as there is for gravity.

It's a good thing...

It's a good thing you "climatologists" have such perfectly
flawless computer models and historical data to make such
predictions.

Maybe you should lend your computer modeling skills and data
to the team that predicted 2006 as one of the most destructive
hurricane seasons on record.

The National Weather Service could also benefit with some of
your computer modeling skills. My 24-hour local forecast is
sometimes the exact opposite of reality.

Since the entire Earth is so much more complex to accurately
model than local weather patterns or the simple path of a
hurricane, just think about how many lives you could positively
impact today.

So please, I beg you, share your great computer modeling skills
with the rest of the world.

Don't Worry

Accroding to Algore, we'll all be dead by then...

For an interesting read (or listen on CD) try Crichton's "State of Fear." Unfortunately, much of what the public is served up on global warming is opinion based on things that just aren't well understood or modelled. Hard to separate the facts from opinions. If the consequences weren't so dire, it could just be an academic issue. Maybe the sailboat market will be booming in the next 20 years.
