Global climate change...in Iceland

What can we do to reverse it? A lot of "sky is falling" but if there's no hope - so be it. Nevermind that this planet was once an acidic and volcanic hell. It's cyclical. All theses "scientists" were predicting the next ice age 40 years ago.

Humans have recorded accurate climate data for how long? 100 years? 200? The earth as been around 5 billion years, give or take. Not exactly a huge statistical sample, to say the least.
Then, there is the fact that we currently use sophisticated data recorders to record that temperature. Do we really think the guy who recorded the temperatures for Missoula, Montana in 1914 had the same accuracy as today? Do we know for sure he didn't locate his equipment for a bit of convenience, say closer to his building than ideal, just to make it a bit easier to get those readings? Do you really think he was concerned his temperature data would be used to justify billions upon billions upon billions of spending 100 years in the future?
Then there is the fact that to derive these current temperature readings, climatologists use mathematical models to "adjust" for things like thermal gain in cities. Tweak the formulas, you tweak the resulting evidence of climate change.
Finally, the bulk of the earth's landmass would benefit from climate change. Think of the additional food that could be grown and the additional population that could be accommodated if Siberia and Northern Canada was habitable.

Wrong...

Did you ever read about those mammoths that were frozen in a matter of seconds found with undigested food in their stomachs.

Now that was fast climate change..

Umm- that's called a mass extinction event, like I pointed out.

In truth there is no proof that man is to blame. The climate "scientists" have first been caught, and then admitted to faking the data to keep the money rolling in.

And let us not forget that these same Scientists told Nixion that Manhattan Island would be 3 feet under water by the year 2001. Well.... it's NOT, and pretty much ALL the predictions made by the "scientists" have been proven false.

is the world changing. yes it is. Are we to blame? Prolly not, unless you count the clear cutting of forest land for Solar farms, and windmills that kill birds

The source in the original post is CNN? Anything they have to say is at the very least suspicious and needs independent verification.

I was going to say use the BBC for more reliable world facts, but some of the Brit "scientists" were caught outright lying about the climate warming issue (or non-issue) a couple of years ago.

No and neither did you.
They may have DIED in a matter of seconds......

I wont read anything from a Fake News source :R

Historically, Iceland has been a tropical paradise in the past, and glaciers have extended as far south as Missouri, so it appears once again that "what goes around, comes around". We'll adapt...

I don't have as much of a problem with global warming/cooling/freezing/etc. as I do with the politics surrounding it, paid for carbon credits, etc. but then it does give Al Gore something to do.
