I Miss the Icecaps

This is sensational.

No matter how much the control freaks try to hide it, AGW does not mean ACC (anthropogenic climate change).

The GW part is the rope that will hang them and when Phil Jones says there has been no GW since 1995, it seems the jig is up.

ya, but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but,but, but, but, but, but,but, but, but,

but it is caused by global warming.

"But" . . . the sound made by little pinheads imploding all around the world.

here I thought that that was your CO2 spewing out board motor you were firing up to go ice fishing in the ice free arctic:-)))

No, no, no my brethern - to properly read the graph, you draw a line from the ultimate peak in 1986 to the minimum in 2006, and ignore,hide, or lie about everything else. "Clearly" the line will show that "millions of square miles" of ice have disappeared, causing "untold misery" to "billions" of "helpless island dwellers"

(note to self - could there be money in telling the untold misery?)

Temperature at 11:00 AM CST, Eureka Station, Nunavut, -37° C. Do icebergs melt at that temp??

Y'all missed a great documentary on NOVA about melting ice caps. Documented, and factual.

Fred @ 10:49, your comment brought back memories of the John Deere AR that our neighbour had.

Temperature today in Vostok, Antarctica is -51 C. And that is in their summer.

"Big Business Jumps Ship from the S.S. Climate Change

The still-growing Climategate scientific fraud scandal has already started to move public opinion against global warming alarmism. And even people who believe in looming climate catastrophe aren’t too happy about cap-and-trade legislation that would force them to pay more (and in reality, much, much more) for energy.

What has kept cap-and-trade legislation alive in Congress is strong support from big business. Many major corporations have figured out that they can make billions of dollars in windfall profits if a cap-and-trade scheme is enacted that will give them free ration coupons and force consumers to pick up the bill.

Big business support began to crumble on Tuesday — and in a big way. In separate announcements, BP America, Conoco Phillips, and Caterpillar dropped out of the main lobbying group for cap and trade, the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP). BP sent a letter to its fellow coalition members, Conoco Phillips sent out a press release, and Caterpillar had its name taken off the USCAP website and then confirmed that it was dropping out when media inquiries were made.

All three corporations say nice things about USCAP and how much their participation in it has meant to them. And they all say that they are still committed to working for policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So why are they pulling out?....

I wonder if Michael Moore is planning an exposé of this scam?

One only needs to read the comments to see Watts mistakes.
Commenting on the estimate of statistically non significant increase in ice extent,
Watt objects --"These trends are, again, by anyone’s reckoning, statistically significant.”
Tom P explains his mistake.
I would only add thatWatts interpretation of this is just the opposite of the interpretation of the same remark made a couple of daya ago about temperature since 1995.

Herman L comments on the fact that the new estimates could hardly have been used in AR4, since they are ...um. new.

A couple of commenters seem to think that winter sea-ice increases mean that the Antarctic is gaining ice, a point Watts doesn't get around to addressing, as far as I could see.
Robert sets them straight.
