No worries thinkabit.

No hidden agenda in my comment, just fyi for all.

Banjo,
AGW or no AGW all that water has to go somewhere and to assume that it won't effect other things is wishful thinking in the extreme.
Even if its natural (which I doubt)we will have to deal with the consequences

The term IPCC really stands for International Population Control Collective.

Examinator,
In later years the temps have been stable or decreasing. Who is to say that trend will not continue?

The vikings colonised Greenland in 986 and grew crops there, so it must have been a lot warmer then than today. I have not seen any record of low lying lands being flooded then. It gradually got colder until the colony was abandoned in 1400.

There are many possible reasons for our climate to change. Those that think we cause climate change consider our importance too highly. Our effect is puny compared to nature. What about the amount of gasses the volcanos continually put out, the power of earthquakes or the effects of continental drift.

If it is proven that humans have an effect on climate change, I am sure we will all hear about it. Until then I'll think about more important and practical things. The over population of the world is an interesting conundrum.

With regard to the methane release from the thawing permafrost, the climate must have been warmer when these beds of vegetation with their snap frozen mammoths were laid down.
Until climate scientists can explain the process why the climate was so much warmer during that epoch and why it all froze in such short order, I will still doubt that anthropogenic carbon emissions are the single cause of ongoing climate change.
Something caused those historic events and are in all likely hood still effecting the earths climate.

No amount of egg on face will stop these climate 'scientist' from making even more absurd claims. Its a pity the 'models' could not even predict the wet in Northern Queensland. According to BOM only a couple of months ago North Queensland was in for a below average rainfall season. The more predictions these guys make the sillier they look. If only people would face up to their own greed, lust and unfaithfulness they would not have to adopt some outward morality blaming others for events outside human control.
