Keith I'm interested in how far you are prepared to go politically to prevent the climate from changing.

Would you be interested in the UN taking charge and imposing laws on American polluters?

Would you be prepared to see some American sovereignty being taken away and given to the UN, to save the planet from dangerous climate change?

If it meant saving the planet from climate change, would you be happy to dissolve all nation states, to form a common global government to counter the global threat?

Would you like to see a collectivist system established on a global scale, to redistribute wealth, and resources more equally?

This is another plot of the PIOMAS DATA.


A reasonable extrapolation is that the Arctic will be ice free by 2018.

[KeithE]

summarizing the good and bad about the Arctic Sea Ice decreases. 2012 saw a record low sea ice extent


and the long term (with proxy “reconstuctions”) look looks like an inverse Hockey Sick!


The sea ice volume is given in the last post above.

And all of this was far faster than the IPCC computer estimates where political choices were made to only report the tamest sea ice loss of the predictions.


Read the article (towards bottom) to see what the good and bad effects are. Hint: the bad far exceeds the good.
