Separate names with a comma.
All the efforts at reducing, becoming more energy efficient, etc. are great things to do. However, nobody should kid themselves. All of the...
Re: Health system... Instead of a "flush" Congress is stuffing another 1,990 sheets of toilet paper in the commode.
Re: Health system... You want to see inefficient? Here are $60 billion / year of our hard earned dollars being pissed away by...
Medicare is a looming disaster, so I wouldn't want to base anything on that. That said, I agree there are problems (as Icarus rightly points out)...
True - reminds me of the healthcare debate. You've got more than 70% of the population who is overweight or obese and yet wants government to pay...
Rather than look at trending, which says nothing in and of itself about the effect of CO2, the more interesting question would be to have...
Apparently NODC provides its data in terms of 10^22 Joules, while KNMI provides Ocean Heat Content data in GJ/m^2. I can't speak to the details -...
Yes - and as surface area rebounds, it is likely thickness will as well since multi-year ice is in part a result of ice from prior years ice...
Yes - but your first link referenced sea ice extent - which is area, not volume.
And at the other pole, sea ice area remains above normal levels. In fact, the Antarctic ice melt during the summer (October-January) of 2008-2009...
In the interest of full disclosure, I have just read that there is an error from NODC in their dataset, so Ocean Heat Content apparently has NOT...
I wouldn't attribute the chart only to Pielke. My recollection is that it was produced as part of a NAS report on climate change, to which Pielke...
I actually disagree regarding the significance of ocean surface temps, even if we get another month or more of warmer than normal SSTs. The...
Maybe soon, if the current trends hold, since the current dip is approaching 1990 levels. But then again, maybe in 5 years, maybe in 10 years,...
Uh, it is disingenuous to suggest, as per the title of this thread, that a one month "record" in sea surface temps is somehow meaningful in...

From your link: " Over the last 5 years, the oceans have been absorbing heat at a rate of 0.77 ± 0.11 Wm−2" Now this is interesting, because...
Sorry, I would not give Proudman, part of an environmental advocacy organization, the same weight as the University of Colorado. [IMG]
I think you are misinterpreting the 2 color photos. I don't believe either one was labeled 1950 and they both appear to be more modern to me (if...
