Weird when you consider the travails of Franklin and Amundsen.
If the passage gets going good it could affect Panama Canal revenues.

You could see the Chinese jump on the Global Warming band wagon at
that point.

I wonder how the passage is getting "increasingly ice free" when the
republican politicians are forcing everyone in their party to be
darned near militant in telling everyone that global warming just
isn't happening despite all of the data proving otherwise?

Where is the peer reviewed data.


http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html

NOAA's data is based upon faulty measurements and only goes back a
couple of decades.


http://wdc.cricyt.edu.ar/paleo/globalwarming/end.html
Which states in part:

When one reviews all the data, both from thermometers and
paleotemperature proxies, it becomes clear that the Earth has warmed
significantly over the last 140 years; Global Warming is a reality.
Multiple paleoclimatic studies indicate that recent years, the 1990s,
and the 20th century are all the warmest, on a global basis, of the
last 600, and most likely 1200 years. It appears that the global
warming of the last century is unprecedented in the last 1,200 years.

Which means absolutely nothing. When you look at the Earth you have to
look using a time scale of geologic proportions. Six hundred and twelve
hundred years don't constitute data points.

Of course they do! If they didn't, then there would be no data points.
It may be your OPINION that they don't, but mathematically they do.

What caused the glaciers to recede at the end of the last ice age?

Temperatures above freezing.

The peer review does not address man causes for global warming. Earth has
heated and cooled for it whole life. What did man do to cause the last Ice
Age about 15,000 years ago? The mini ice age 500 years ago? And the
warming afterwards?

Just as I thought. You don't want to discuss what caused the glaciers to
melt? Why? Because it doesn't fit into the script of humans are bad and
are killing the earth.

Cherry picking the most recent 200 years, 1000 years and using that as
the basis for a theory is laughable. The Earth has been covered in ice
before and the poles have seen tropical weather.

Can you see Russia from there?


Can you see Cuba?


Maybe Bermuda...

It does not matter what has happened and how it happened in the past. We
are talking about the CURRENT situation. That's why the right's
insistence that it isn't man made is non-think.

What is laughable is that as the right's talking point on the subject,
they always bring up what has happened 50,000 or so years ago. It
doesn't take someone real brilliant to look at a chart that clearly
shows a rise in temperature coinciding with a gain in air pollutants
coinciding with the industrial revolution.

Don't confuse him with the facts. He has decided that puny man is
responsible for global warming and nothing with change his mind.

If they looked at the charts, they would see that the temperature has

in the long term temperature curves, and ready to descend into the next
ice age.

Now the past does not matter in global warming and history does not enter

would ignore codes, etc as they are based on history.

Uh, no not really. Codes are based on known strengths, stresses,
strains, etc. And you use the CURRENT code. Using your analogy, you'd
want me to design by a standard that was a few million years old.
