#1 Well, then, the sea ice is wrong. It's probably funded by the Koch Brothers and the oil companies.

#2 "This is because of unregulated Chinese ice production! What's needed here is an international regulating body to control..."
(Sarcasm, I truly hope.)

#4 If your facts don't fit the model, change the facts.

#5 Like they did by re-siting weather stations closer to power (and heat) sources and shutting down rural ones. All this is "compensated" in the models, of course. Continually.

#6 Don't worry. They'll figure out a way to make it global warming/change/instability or whatever the fuck they are calling it now and make it man's fault.

So pay them more money and give up your freedoms in the name of Environment.

#7 Well, clearly the Chinese study is wrong. I just read a few weeks ago that changing ocean currents are melting the heck out of the Antartic ice shelf and we are about to be up to our ears in very cold water.

#8 Global warming never bothered me, if sea levels rise over 50 years you move further inland, buildings have a lifespan too, global cooling on the other does bother me, you can not grow crops under a mile high sheet of ice or build a house, A lot more destruction and population loss due to Global cooling.

#9 Professor Tim Ball discusses the reasons why the Antarctic is different from the Arctic here. No doubt it didn't occur to those developing the models to ask that question before making their assumptions. Via Watts Up With That.

#10 climate is just as poorly understood as ever. it changes and the ice grows and shrinks. The problem is we've elevated the pointy headed studiers of this arcane phenomenon to the point where policy makers massively fund them and hang hundreds of billions in taxpayer funded programs on their prognostications.

keep calm, carry on, don't fund "green" energy with my taxes
