"Spend two weeks on a spacious ice floe in the Arctic Circle this summer in your own sumptuously furnished igloo..."

There, now *that*s taken care of...

I'd go for this. It'll be good practice for the coming ice-age.

Most of it comes out of clowns like Sarah Palin, who can be excused because she is so moronic, (Polar bears becoming brown!) but Exxon/Mobil have no excuse for the lies they have told and the disinformation they have funded.

//you're being exposed to the wrong information, then. Probably not your fault, there's a considerable amount of misinformation and propaganda floating around on that topic, resulting in a lot of people thinking the wrong thing, but thinking they're right because a lot of other people think it too.//

The funny thing is, that's a phrase I can see myself using, too.

//Exxon/Mobil have no excuse for the lies they have told and the disinformation they have funded//

Have you seen their latest TV ad campaign? They seem to have performed a sharp about turn from "Climate Change is a Myth" to "Taking on the World's Toughest Energy Challenges" complete with organic-y type imagery. Sadly, all our campaigning for BoycottEsso seems to have resulted only in changing their ads. Oh well, one step at a time.

One of my anti-Esso logos was used by Greenpeace (adjusts halo)

//not our fault// Industrialization has increased the Earth's CO2 levels (air/water) by 50pct. [edit 2015: almost doubled]

//natural climate changes// but what if you don't *want* worldwide ecosystem-destroying climate changes?

//Exxon// is hardly losing if somebody R&D's a viable method of deconstructing HC's into C and H. § x1

What if the current global cooling turns out to be a nice age?

No - she said they would adapt to living on land. What an idiot.

I wonder if the Bangladeshis will adapt to living underwater as quickly as the polar bears will adapt to living on land?

Sarah Palin interbreeds with bears ?

Cut out all climate-change-is-a-myth messages which have a financial link to a vested interest in the energy industry and the whole wall of information becomes almost entirely silent. On the other side, cut out all those with a financial interest in stopping climate change, and you lose only about 10% of the signal. What does that tell you? Compare and contrast with the smoking-dangers-are-a-myth messages of not-so-long-ago...

[vincevincevince] You clearly do not live in Bangladesh, (population 150 million) which is just one country that will experience even more severe flooding.

Pssst! [xen]! He's on our side!

It just occurred to me that in a few decades there could be nudist cruises above the Arctic circle.

Not all year long (or at least not the same passenger list two winters in a row), but during the summer, sea ice having long melted away, there's 24 hours a day insolation.
