I have a feeling the crops will be just fine!

we probably won't see, but let's hope so.

If the glaciers melt and the seas rise Kelp will be the new wheat.

Of course, as soon as the report hit it contained the caveat that colder weather is actually more harmfull than warm weather. I guess Owl Gore will take credit for the temperature decline and will, now, start a campaign to warm things back up! LOL!

Geez Louise...

And probably win another Peace Prize, to boot!

And then this hits the news today:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.

Scientists flocked to take pictures and shoot video after a massive chunk of the Wilkins ice shelf collapsed in Antarctica.

Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started February 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.
This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.

I wonder if an ice sheet has ever collapsed before...

Fine. Could you please forward this entire thread to Al Gore so he can redo his Power Point presentation, return his Nobel Prize, and issue a public apology to the World.

I suspect he is probably burning jet fuel at 30,000 feet right now, so not too sure he will get it right away, but good idea

In l950 when I attended the U.S. Air Force weather school at Chanute AFB, Ill., we had a Climatology class in the curriculum. If we were told once, we were told 20 times that climate change on our planet is cyclic in nature and has been as long as meteorology records have been kept. Everything I saw while traversing this earth at 20,000 ft. and below leads me to believe this was a correct assumption. Al Gore managed to successfully dupe the American public and the rest of the world, and for it he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Nobel must be revolving in his grave! Regardless, there is enough doubt regarding greenhouse gases causing global warning to cause creditable people to give cause for thought about the theory.
