Gore says “global warming” is making the Greenland ice sheet unstable.
It is not. Greenland ice grows 2in a year. The Greenland ice sheet
survived each of the previous three interglacial periods, each of which
was 5 degrees Celsius warmer than the present. It survived atmospheric
CO2 concentrations of up to 1000 ppmv (compared with today’s 400 ppmv).
It last melted 850,000 years ago, when humankind did not exist and
could not have caused the melting. There is a close correlation between
variations in Solar activity and temperature anomalies in Greenland,
but there is no correlation between variations in CO2 concentration and
temperature changes in Greenland. The IPCC (2001) says that to melt
even half the Greenland ice sheet would require temperature to rise by
5.5 degrees C and remain that high for several thousand years.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0EC79190-D034-4E52-A035-764DA1A572F5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
