[Section 15] JPL's Climate Change Machine

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has placed an interactive climate change application online. It lets you view changes in the Arctic polar cap, sea level changes over the Pacific, CO2 emissions and the changes in average global temperature.

Play with it!

Here's a few images I grabbed.



Yes, that's our northern polar ice cap melting. The red outline is where the ice cap was at the end of summer, 1979. The ice cap seen is its extent at the end of summer, 2007.

It is believed that the ice cap may completely melt by the end of this summer (CTV).

I am sadly amused by denialists who claim that thickening ice during the winter 'proves' global warming to be a sham.

The temperature record from 1990 to 2007 is shocking:
