Global warming could do more than just melt polar ice. It could change our maps, and displace people from cities and tropical islands.

The truth is the world could be changing because of global warming, Magnetic sphere shifts or even something we have not even researched. But what kind of problems would come from moving away from primitive fuels and moving to natural energy sources? Seriously, who would that hurt more, the 'average' people or the rich oil tycoons and the people they pay off to keep the world the same? What would it hurt for people to drop their pride and try to save the world for later generations?

@Niightversionn I checked out the report and noticed something in their graph. The rise in temperature from 1910 to 1940 was greater then anytime after that. So the rise in temperature since then, is well within what would be considered normal, and seems to have no effect from the industrial period. Also, the AR4 report didn't come out until 2007, yet the graph stops at 2000. Is this the other way they are trying to hide the decline since 2000? lol

This includes the recent transition to the current interglacial period, Monnin et al (2001) showed that at the start of the temperature increase, it took 800 years for CO2 to catch up. Another study by Mudelsee (2001) looked at the whole 420,000 year ice core and concluded that CO2 lagged behind temperature fluctuations.

Early in March, Arctic sea ice appeared to reach a maximum extent. However, after a short decline, the ice continued to grow. By the end of March, total extent approached 1979 to 2000 average levels for this time of year.

@MarkNobes, did you know that 80% of worlds volcanoes lie in the oceans? They do produce CO2. Also, may you explain how the acidity experiments were done? The alarmists leaked hydrochloric acid into the water, instead or releasing CO2 into the air and letting it work through the system. The proper experiment shows that coral reefs will flourish in CO2.

I am not a great supporter of the nuclear option but if helps reduce CO2 emmissions that has got to be seen more as a positive than a negative. I would prefer to see more sustainable and environmentally friendly options being encouraged and invested in coupled with a reduction in energy usage overall. However the latter option would require international agreements on reducing material consumption and energy usage as well as a new 'consumer' mindset geared towards sustainability.

Among other things, the group, known as the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU), found: When it comes to existing multilateral environmental agreements, or MEAs - international treaties for such things as preserving biodiversity, protecting wetlands and migratory species, and halting desertification - the U.N. officials responsible for implementing the agreements told the inspectors of a "lack of high-level support" from the organization's collective top leadership.

Sunspot and solar radiation activity almost exactly parallel temperature changes on the Earth. It correlates well with the anomalous post-war temperature dip, when global carbon dioxide levels were rising very fast. The increase in solar radiation prevents the formation of clouds, which have a cooling effect on the planet, therefore the temperature rises.

I read in the MIT documentation that 30 years is a standard for measuring climate. Not the only measurement. It is considered a sampling of weather over time so cycle trends can be recognized. El Nino was discovered not long after the Meteorological office started sampling data in 1851. It was rediscovered in 2010 during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

This brings home the salient point that mass shifts in Arctic ice have more to do with wind patterns than they do temperature, something Anthony Watts helpfully confirms in a recent post. As a result, Arctic ice extent is recovering from its 2007 low and is currently within a million square kilometres of normal and increasing as peak coverage approaches.

@Nightversionn The fish farming industry has suffered from warming oceans there. Most had to be relocated to more open waters from the inside passage inlets of Vancouver Island and some tanks. The new technique you are talking about farms multiple complimentary species that eat fish poop like kelp etc. That makes for a healthier surroundings and cleaner water around Sponge Bobs farm. A similar concept to land farming using complimentary bugs and plants to keep other bugs and plants at bay.

@OZcheckm8 I thank you for reply, and let me put it to you like this. We have two options, be taxed for oil which will run out and ultimately increase in price till no one but the richest can buy it or be taxed for energy that would be limitless and may save the environment and improve our world. One options leads to 'normal' people getting fuel for a short time and then ti being cut away and the other, to energy which could belong to everyone. You will have to pay either way.

Sea ice extent seemed to reach a maximum during the early part of the month, but after a brief decline, ice extent increased slowly and steadily through the end of the month. By the end of the month, extent had approached the 1979 to 2000 average. During March 2010, ice extent grew at an average of 13,200 square kilometers (5100 square miles) per day. Usually there is a net loss of ice through the month.

Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Colorado said he was "surprised" by the Arctics recovery from the great melt of 2007 when summer ice shrank to its smallest recorded extent. "In retrospect," he says, "the reactions to the 2007 melt were overstated. The lesson is that we must be more careful in not reading too much into one event."

The amount of sea ice covering the Arctic dramatically increased last month, reaching levels not seen at this time of year for nearly a decade. Returning ice - after years of declining cover - has astonished climate scientists who blamed unusually cold weather over the Bering Sea. Researchers said they recorded the most ice in March since 2001 - and that the cover is approaching long-term average levels for the first time in ten years. at 12:00 AM on 03rd April 2010

Whereas others changed the pH by adding external acids or bases, this team mimicked the real world more accurately by bubbling air with known concentrations of CO2 (280-750ppm, pH=8.1-7.7) through their cultures.
