Scientists are not to be taken seriously? Really? After spending decades of time and money? Really?

This is a graph from "China Daily." (click here) It is a Chinese newspaper.

There is a direct relationship between increased greenhouse gases and the "Hot House" effect of the Earth's Greenhouse Effect.

Below is a graph of the Arctic Ocean Sea Ice Minimum as of September 2012. Summer ends on September 21st each year and the sun begins it's transit to the southern hemisphere. September is when the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean is  measured for it's minimum. The white dot in the picture is the North Pole. The lines extending out to the edges of the Arctic Ocean is where the minimum was measured in September 1999. This is the extent of deterioration in just 13 years.


...In the summer of 2007, (click here) Arctic sea ice extent set a record low in early August—more than a month before the end of the melt season. That September, the preferred northern navigation route through the Northwest Passage opened. In the following years, summer sea ice had some relatively higher extents, though nothing approaching normal conditions. Then in 2012, a new record low was set—more than 700,000 square kilometers below the 2007 minimum. The driving factor in 2012 was the large amount of thin ice, which is more susceptible to melting from warming temperatures and to break-up by winds and waves. An unusually strong storm in August 2012 brought both of these conditions, resulting in a rapid disintegration and ice loss in the Beaufort, Chukchi, and East Siberian seas....


Everyone involved with climate or in opposition of it knows the famous hockey stick graph. It was researched and published by NOAA. The people of the USA commissioned NOAA to report pertinent data to them to prevent dangers to their lives where the natural world is involved. 

There is some reason why NOAA would consider this frivolous activity? Where are all the citizens looking out for their own safety and stating, "Hey, why isn't my government taking all this research and data seriously?"
