Double D'Oh!duh
Dr Curry is no longer a climate alarmist ya dummy.........well documented. Now says "human activity" one of many possible causes...........the global warming k00ks claim one cause only. Ghey

Hey dummy, twas a wingnut science denying twit that introduced Curry into the back and forth.
Dante was subtly throwing it back in laughter
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
To Dante.........
not another dope who posts stupid graphs with the imbecile notion that doing so makes them credible in their arguments.
wtf r u, Clyde Crashcup?
there is? More off topic replies. Why is that? there are no Science consensus, in anything.And you are completely full of shit, jc. There is overwhelming consensus that life has evolved, is evolving, and will continue to evolve as long as there is life. There is overwhelming consensus that matter and gravity are related.there's that word again, 'consensus' there is none in science. So nice article that really isn't about science but an agenda, since it was necessary to use the 'C' word. Funny though, thanks for the laugh.Science and the Environment - no consensus on the matter yet - the rapidly melting Greenland ice sheet
No agenda here, just Scientific evidence and a search for truth. Scientists will keep working on it until they have a consensus. You'd better believe it, because that's how science works.
In the last month, there’s been much attention to a cool patch in the North Atlantic Ocean, where record cold temperatures over the past eight months present a stark contrast to a globe that is experiencing record warmth. And although there is certainly no consensus on the matter yet, some scientists think this pattern may be a sign of one long-feared consequence of climate change — a slowing of North Atlantic ocean circulation, due to a freshening of surface waters.
The cause, goes the thinking, would be the rapidly melting Greenland ice sheet, whose large freshwater flows may weaken ocean “overturning” by reducing the density of cold surface waters (colder, salty water is denser). If cold, salty waters don’t sink in the North Atlantic and flow back southward toward Antarctica at depth, then warm surface waters won’t flow northward to take their place. The result could be a significant change to northern hemisphere climate, as less ocean-borne heat reaches higher latitudes.
There is a consensus on the science showing the planet is warming and that humans are playing a part in it. That is all.there are no Science consensus, in anything.
negative on that whole consensus thingy.There is a consensus on the science showing the planet is warming and that humans are playing a part in it. That is all.there are no Science consensus, in anything.

Doctor: You have a brain tumor
jc: I refuse to believe you. Ouch! What a headache
jc says ole Dante got whipped!!
jc says a lot of stupid thingsjc says ole Dante got whipped!!
jc certainly has stated stupid things in his life, but spot on when discussing climate with Dante.jc says a lot of stupid thingsjc says ole Dante got whipped!!
true story
Greenland ice melting whoop Dee DooOMG… Greenland’s ice sheets are melting fast
An urgent attempt to study the rate at which Greenland’s mighty ice sheets are melting has been launched by Nasa. The aim of the six-year project, calledOceans Melting Greenland (OMG), is to understand how fast the world’s warming seas are now eroding the edges of the island’s vast icecaps. Warming air temperatures are already causing considerable glacier loss there, but the factors involving the sea that laps the bases of its great ice masses, and which is also heating up, are less well understood.
Greenland contains vast reservoirs of ice which, if completely melted, would raise world sea levels by more than six metres. However, some influences on its current dramatic melting are poorly understood. Hence the decision to launch OMG, an acronym that the project leader, Joshua Willis, admits he “barely squeezed past the censors”.
The project will include a four-year programme involving the release of more than 200 robot probes from aircraft of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s specialist fleet. These will measure sea water temperature and depth round the island while the elevation of its coastal glaciers will also be measured in detail. At the same time, ships, including the retired trawler MV Cape Race, will be used to make careful studies of the shape and size of the fjords that channel water from the ocean to the base of Greenland’s glaciers. The information gleaned this way “should give us a better handle on understanding the [ice] mass loss that is currently going on in Greenland,” says Willis, of Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Going to be some interesting information gathered.
Well, yes, big whoop Dee Doo.Greenland ice melting whoop Dee DooOMG… Greenland’s ice sheets are melting fast

I'll tell you what, you post up the current Atlantic sea level in NY and then next year post the same information one year later. Work for you? Let's see how much whoop dee doo you have. I'm tired of talk, I'd like for once to actually see some stats that back your claim. just once!!!Well, yes, big whoop Dee Doo.Greenland ice melting whoop Dee DooOMG… Greenland’s ice sheets are melting fast

The American cities most threatened by rising sea levels
Steep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions could lessen the threat that sea level rise poses to iconic American cities during the coming centuries by more than half, according to a new study published Monday.
By contrast, if emissions were to follow a so-called "business as usual" trajectory, between 14 to 33 feet of global average sea level rise would be locked into the climate system, submerging land that is currently home to between 20 and 31 million Americans, including in more than 20 cities with populations of 100,000 or more, as well as the majority of residents in many smaller cities, the study found.
The study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to examine how the energy choices made in the next few decades — including at a pivotal climate summit in Paris that begins at the end of November — will affect coastal U.S. cities down to the zip code level for generations to come.
