    2012 hottest year on record.
    2013..new hottest year on record.
    2014 newer hottest year on record.

    The 12 hottest years ever recorded, happened in the last 13 years.

    I'm not worried about honey, or cherries, or seafood. And, at 60, I'm not too worried about food, electricity, and clean water. My wife and I will be gone before the real serious problems start.

    I imagine surviving will be quite an adventure soon. Buckle up.

    The article below claims a recent increase in arctic ice.
    You won't be without shrimp considering there's contained shrimp farms all over the world.

    Also, 87% of the world already eats artificially flavored maple syrup, the rest of the people will just have to deal with it.

      I want to answer this "Arctic ice is expanding" argument.

      Two things. We are talking about the global temperature. Not the arctic temperature...the global temperature. Specific areas may be getting colder, but the average temperature on Earth is steadily rising.

      And the reason the arctic ice is expanding, is that the ocean currents are not efficiently carrying warm water to the poles....because of increasing global ocean temperatures.

      The ice on Antarctica (on the land), is getting thinner every year, and that's the water that's increasing ocean levels.

        Read the article...It says things like:


        But they say 2013 was a one-off and that climate change will continue to shrink the ice in the decades ahead.

        ...and...


        "The long-term trend of the ice volume is downwards and the long-term trend of the temperatures in the Arctic is upwards and this finding doesn't give us any reason to disbelieve that - as far as we can tell it's just one anomalous year."

          And this is what happens when you only skim the article. I was answering a point that the article wasn't making. Brilliant.

            Soils -- and the microbes that live within them -- store three times as much carbon as is in the atmosphere, and four and a half times as much as in all plants and animals. "If the soil carbon reserve is not managed properly," Lal said, "it can easily overwhelm the atmosphere."
            Soil isn't just useful for storing carbon -- it also grows 95 percent of the food we eat, according to the FAO. But even beyond climate change, agriculture is the number one cause of soil disruption.
            "What we're seeing is probably the biggest drivers aren't going to be those direct effects of climate," Lajtha said. "Really, the big driver of soil carbon change is what humans are doing to the soil, and a lot of that is agriculture."
            The UN estimates that nearly a third of the world's soil is degraded -- in sub-Saharan Africa, that figure is closer to two-thirds. Degraded soils are less effective for growing crops, threatening food security in places where most of the population lives off of subsistence farming. According to the Montpellier Panel -- an international group working to support national and regional agricultural development and food security priorities in sub-Saharan Africa -- soil degradation costs sub-Saharan Africa $68 billion per year. If soil degradation continues at its current rate, the UN estimates that all of the world's topsoil could be gone in 60 years.
            Topsoil, Lajtha says, is where most soil carbon is stored -- it's where decomposed plant matter and plant roots are deposited -- so losing topsoil means losing a huge amount of carbon currently stored in the soil.

            If we continue the trend of killing soils instead of maintaining healthy soils, stopping the carbon emissions isn't going to do much good.

          Honestly, I think that's probably wrong. There are very few air conditioners in the arctic. I think the cold temperatures may be a natural phenomenon.

          Plus, where would you plug them in?

          Yes, I am a genius.

            Well, I'm sure someone will come out with a WSO to make a fortune selling fear of climate change.

            We have a lot to look forward to in the future.

      No, world temp, were higher in the middle ages then it is now; and they had bumper crops of grapes, and most likely beer related crops. That one went for a 1000 years, and we didn't burn up or witness palm trees in the artic, or the many other total BS crap we are supposed to get now!

      Yes, good evidence we will be in a mini ice age by 2020. Since their is a direct correlation between sun activity and the Earth warming or cooling.

      The rest is BS, to make a buck!
