Research Vessel to document extreme Arctic impacts from Climate Change, stopped itself by Climate Change effects

Only in the northern hemisphere.

So the globe is warming but a ship can't sail because there's too much ice. Allllriiiighhteee, then.

Idiot. That's why it's called climate CHANGE. It used to be that the cold ice stayed at the north pole. Now that things have changed, the cold ice comes much further south and invades all of our warm places. Yesterday when I was swimming in the ocean (Long Island), an iceberg floated by and dropped the water temperature like 5 degrees. I had to get out. Climate change sucks.

Don't pee in the ocean. That's what causes climate change (and floods).

Why are they studying climate change??? We already know it is happening. What we don't know is if humans are having a significant contribution to it or if a change in human activity will reduce or reverse climate change. So why isn't there more research in that direction instead?

we. know. humans. are. the. primary. driver. PERIOD!!!!!!!

False.

How about climate bipolar disorder: 101 F at LaGuardia, snow at Lake Tahoe...WTF?

We needs equip boats like Boaty McBoatface with lasers to melt them ice cubes, civilize em so they can fit in cocktails where they belong.

Just a few days ago the Northeast US was setting record lows.

Climate change researchers cancel expedition because of climate change

The effects are recursive.

There is plenty of research "in that direction", which you would know if you listened to anything other than right wing media. And the research overwhelmingly indicates human contributions above and beyond any natural causes.

But keep your head stuck in the sand and pretend the evidence doesn't exist.

Antarctic sea ice extent has been at record lows for most of the past year. For the last week or two, it is second behind the lows of 2016.

One would have to read the article to understand this, but the current issue is that "fast ice", that is sea ice which has been attached to a shore line for a long time has come loose and is being blown out of the Arctic into shipping lanes where ice is not normally found this time of year. This is happening because the Arctic was exceptionally warm (for the Arctic) this past winter. This ice which is many years old is moving to warmer waters and will inevitably melt.

The iceberg the Titanic hit was probably calved from a glacier in West Greenland. There's more of that going on than there was 100 years ago, but this is not the same thing.

Attribution is an active area of climate research and has been for a long time. The greenhouse gas theory originated almost 200 years ago and there is no reasonable doubt that human activity has significantly changed the atmospheric greenhouse gas composition. Thus any plausible alternative to anthropogenic climate change theory would have to have to explain why a significant increase in greenhouse gas doesn't affecting climate and would have to propose an alternative explanation for recent warming consistent with observations.

Who let the denier post?

Send that iceberg to the midwest, it's supposed to be mid 90's today.

Great response. Sometimes I can't tell if people are saying this stuff tongue-in-cheek or not and whether it's worth responding. Dunning-Kruger effect in full blast here. People know next to nothing about the complexities of the climate system and blanket statement that the field isn't studying natural climate variability or quantifying the relative role of humans. On the contrary, there's a huge community working EXACTLY on that, myself included.

My question to all the climate change nuts: if the climate doesn't change on its own, what killed off the dinosaurs? The emissions from Fred Flintstones car?

Boom, (drops the mic and walk away).

The uneducated and the naive actually believe in all the climate hysteria garbage. Look into the sordid history of this garbage. It's all fake, created by Marxists determined to derail Western industry and advancement, period.
