I'm Right, You're Wrong Revisited

The infantile right-wing of the lands lieing on the Tropic of Blog have an expression called Global Warmism. This is their contribution to Climate Change. It is not insubstantial. It is parallel to their contributions to the Unpleasantness in Iraq. However, I shall not argue pro or con about whether climate change is real, nor whether it is a threat, nor anything else about it. I did say previously that, regardless whether it exists or not, climate change will happen fast, much faster than anyone predicts. That is my point: I shall not judge whether the phenomenon is real. However, I do maintain that it is going to take your breathe away with its fleet-footed progress. Case in point: An island made by global warming The map of Greenland will have to be redrawn. A new island has appeared off its coast, suddenly separated from the mainland by the melting of Greenland's enormous ice sheet, a development that is being seen as the most alarming sign of global warming. ... But it is only one more example of the disintegration of the Greenland Ice Sheet, that scientists have begun to realise, only very recently, is proceeding far more rapidly than anyone thought. http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/climate_change/article2480994.ece This rapidity has been attested to over 30 years. Mothers, get your kids off the streets!
