A CBC News report at 10 pm stated that hundreds of fishing boats and a
Coast Guard vessel were caught in a giant pack ice field off the east
cost of Newfoundland. Although most marine communication is VHF ,
there may be some HF communications going on. I am out of range, but
maybe some closer could have a listen to Coast Guard and fish boat
frequencies.

Is this further evidence of global warming?

State of Fear: Even if warming is occurring, there is little evidence
of human causality.

The facts: Attribution of global warming to a specific cause or causes
is admittedly difficult, but a variety of independent lines of
investigation all point to human emissions of CO2 and other GHGs as a
major culprit:

No one has been able to put forward a self-consistent and quantitative
explanation for the warming in the latter half of the 20th century
without invoking the effects of the GHG from human activities;
The "smoking gun" pointing to industrial emissions as the culprit in
global warming has been identified in the spatial and temporal
worldwide patterns of warming in the atmosphere and oceans; and
Global temperatures in the last few decades appear to be warmer than
in any other time period over the past 2,000 years.
State of Fear: Predictions of global warming are based on climate-
model calculations that cannot be relied upon; results from different
models disagree by more than 400%.

The facts: Highly advanced climate models have been thoroughly and
carefully vetted by the scientific community. It is true that these
models project a wide range in the warming of the globe by 2100 (i.e.,
from about 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit). Much of this range arises from
differing assumptions about economic, demographic and technological
trends that influence CO2 emissions, not in the models' simulation of
the effects of these emissions on climate. All of the models predict
that increasing CO2 emissions will lead to further warming of the
globe and that the more we emit CO2 in the future, the more the globe
will warm. This is actually good news because it suggests we can
actually do something about global warming; that is, cut emissions of
CO2 and other GHGs.
