jvaski: Well Garden .....what do ya think ? In this case when we see Polar Bears dieing on an icberg because of global warming - do we just dismiss it as another day ?
What do I think? I think you're a blooming idiot if you see a polar bear on a small bit of ice and assume he's dying due to global warming. Like I said before, learn how to use Google, for God's sake. You might, for instance, google something like "can polar bears swim?".
See, that's the thing. Either liberals are complete idiots and jump to conclusions without any evidence whatsoever to support their assumptions - or they know better but enjoy lying about things.
Kinda seems fair consideringthe Repubs have filibutered so many times, screaming in congressional sessions, threatening on TV about everything from removing Obama to gov shutdowns etc etc etc ........ I think initially it was the repubs that started this childish extreemism ....

We just went through your "use google " yesterday ...and it proved you're wrong again......
And, when was the last time you put a scuba tank on in remote spots of the world to see what's really happening to our oceans ? In fact, have you ever even taken a moment in the last few years to get out from behind your computer and "Googling" everything ?
jvaski: No....I am attempting to politely argue with you
Could have fooled me. Seriously... polar bears on ice means they're dying..... and you want me to take you seriously? Get outta here! You're killin' me!

Scientists: Sun's approaching 'Grand Cooling" assures new Ice Age
February 18, 2011
NASA and the ESA agree, and so does the Russian space agency, Roscosmos—the sun is headed for a Grand Solar Minimum and a Grand Cooling will commence.
The aptly named Grand Cooling is exactly what it implies: the sun is going to cool. That cooling will also cool off the Earth. It will last from 30 to 50 years.
What exactly does global cooling mean? Well for one, Al Gore was sure wrong! The Earth isn't going to warm, it's going to get colder. Much colder. So cold a little or full-blown Ice Age will ensue. As a matter of fact, some scientists claim we're already in the early stages of an Ice Age. Maybe the Nobel Committee and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should ask Mr. Gore to return his awards.
Dutch Professor Cees de Jager, a prominent astronomer and solar expert, forcefully asserts that we the world is indeed entering for a long period of very low solar activity. The professor and his colleagues are certain Earth is heading for a "long Grand Minimum"—defined as either a Solar Wolf-Gleissberg or a Maunder Minimum—"not shorter than a century." His 2010 paper, "The forthcoming Grand Minimum of solar activity," outlined the extended period of time that the diminished solar radiation would affect the Earth.
The Maunder minimum lasted from 1645 to 1715. It was marked by a period of general cooling over the entire planet. The Minimum coincided with the coldest year of the Little Ice Age.
The astronomer, formerly the head of the Utrecht University Observatory in the Netherlands, has laid out the basis for the upcoming Ice Age.
Another very respected scientist, the late Dr. Theodor Landscheid, founder of the Schroeter Institute for Research in Cycles of Solar Activity in Waldmuenchen, Germany, was considered a giant in the field of climate research.
A prodigious author of many research papers, leader of studies, and the author of several books, Landscheidt investigated the Gleissberg Minimum. He rejected the now proven flawed science of anthropogenic global warming and even the concept of long-term global warming itself.
"Contrary to the IPCC's speculation about man-made global warming as high as 5.8° C within the next hundred years," he said, "a long period of cool climate with its coldest phase around 2030 is to be expected."
Referring to the sun's cycles, he pointed to their correlation with other periods of prehistory when ice spread across the northern hemisphere. "It can be seen that the Gleissberg minimum around 2030 and another one around 2200 will be of the Maunder Minimum type accompanied by severe cooling on Earth."
A few of the doctor's many papers on the sun's relation to Earth's climate include "Solar activity: A dominant factor in climate dynamics," and "New confirmation of strong solar forcing of climate." Both show the sun's relationship to Earth's climate and abrupt changes in that climate during periods of transition from warming to cooling and back to warming.
It is unfortunate that Al Gore's inconvenient truth turned out to be a fallacy. Global warming is much preferable to the climate the Earth actually seems on the verge of slipping into within a few short years.
Depending on the severity of the Ice Age, agriculture could be severely affected and millions could perish.
