The Trump implosion thread!

Quote:

Lead by glaciologist and climate scientist Luke Trusel of Rowan University, a team of U.S. and European researchers analyzed more than three centuries of melt patterns in ice cores from western Greenland. They then linked this historical data to modern observations of melting and runoff across the entire ice sheet, creating a timeline dating back to 1650.

"From a historical perspective, today’s melt rates are off the charts,” Sarah Das, a glaciologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and co-author of the new study, said in a statement. “We found a 50 percent increase in total ice sheet meltwater runoff versus the start of the industrial era, and a 30 percent increase since the 20th century alone.”

According to the analysis, melting on the Greenland ice sheet sped up in the mid-1800s, shortly after the onset of industrial-era warming in the Arctic. Over the last 20 years, melt intensity has increased 250 to 575 percent compared to pre-industrial melt rates. Across the ice sheet, melting was more rapid in 2012 than any other year and the most recent decade included in the ice core-analysis, 2004-2013, experienced “a more sustained and greater magnitude of melt than any other 10-year period” in the 350-year record, the scientists wrote.

You do realize that is no way proof that it is man caused. It may be proof that the world is still warming from the last ice age. To pretend that when the world population was 5% of what it is today we were already screwing up the client is ludicrous. If that were true then even if we reduced our carbon output by 95% today we would still have man made global warming. Even the most rabid climate scientists claim that much smaller reductions in our carbon outputs are going to save us. Just another huge inconsistency in the claims and the reason anyone with half a brain takes them with a grain of salt.

Testing and firing missiles is a pretty good indication they are up to no good.

They are up to gamesmanship like the rest?

Thanks for the link.

"The very U.N. resolution that Pompeo cited is also the very nuclear deal the Trump administration withdrew from earlier this year, Parsi added." Hard to gig them on an agreement we cancelled

We left a bad deal that was just made because Obama wanted to "do something." If Iran was serious, no deal would be needed, they simply would not be pursuing nukes per their sig on the NNPT.
