Arctic Sea Ice Melted Less In 2013, But Climate Change Isn't Slowing, NOAA Says

More Arctic sea ice survived the summer months in 2013 than it did in 2012. Arctic temperatures did not soar quite as high, and the ice sheets did not retreat as much.

To the naked eye, it might seem climate change is slowing. But taking climate science in one-year chunks is not effective, because there is always year-to-year variability.

More important, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials, is looking at overall trends.

Wben they found out it was not getting warmer they changed terminology. It went from global warming to climate change. It is all b.s. It is just another way for the libs and Obama to tax Americans and redistribute the wealth to countries like Africa.

always love to hear the uninformed rantings of the buffoons who slept through science and math class

Perhaps the buffoons actually researched how many scientists comprise the "97%" meme.
The AMS just did a survey of member meteorologists. 52% for warming w/ man as a contributor. 48% said either no warming or no hoomins involved. I'm guessing those 48% took neither science nor math?

819 please note that the definition of "buffon" is NOT someone who disagrees with you. It is more akin to someone who has took a stance or supports a view without any real background research on the topic. This includes those on both sides who scream the loudest, but have often only read briefly on the subject.

First, there was the Ice Age.

Then, there is now.

Climate changes every year in both cyclical directions.

'Nuff said.

Total Propaganda.

The actual truth. The South Pole is far colder just set new records for cold. -138 degrees. Far more record lows than record highs last year in the world.

No warming since 1998 and even in the last 100 years warming by less than a degree. Better than going into an Ice Age as these idiots called scientist then feared.

These idiots can not predict the weather next week but claim to predict it in 20 years. Then when proven wrong they just claim well next 20 years. Come on when will you ever admit you got it wrong.

Gore promised Ice Free travel in the North now many vessels are locked in the ice because of this idiot.
