How could this be? How is it possible? We’re ruined.
Based on Al Gore’s assurances that the Greenland icecap was melting and that sea levels were rising, we invested all our spare cash in future beachfront property in South Dakota.
The Australian Broadcasting Company reports the story of our personal economic doom and the current shoreline’s salvation:
Greenland’s icecap has thickened slightly in recent years despite concerns that it is thawing out due to global warming, says an international team of scientists.
A team led by Professor Ola Johannessen, at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Norway, report their findings online ahead of print publication in the journal Science.
The 3,000-metre thick Greenland icecap is a key concern in debates about climate change because a total melt would raise world sea levels by about 7 metres. And a runaway thaw might slow the Gulf Stream that keeps the North Atlantic region warm.
Glaciers at sea level have been retreating fast because of a warming climate, making many other scientists believe the entire icecap is thinning. But satellite measurements showed that more snowfall is falling and thickening the icecap, especially at high altitudes, say Johannessen and team.
The entire IHateTheMedia.com fortune is tied up in that South Dakota land. That’s what we get for listening to Gore.

Greenland’s icecap may be getting thicker, but it still ain’t as thick as the idiots who buy into “global warming/climate change”, & put their money where their mouth is buy purchasing “carbon offsets”.
A fool & their money…
Why are we reading 4 yr old articles?
The silver lining would be if this thickening trend has continued over the last 4 years.
South Dakota, eh? I’ve been buying future beach-front property in the foothills of the Rockies, but maybe I’ll look at S.D. now too on your recommendation. Yeah. S.D. where there’ll be alot fewer scavenging polar bears to worry about.
Imagine that-the earth has been quite cool since 98, in fact cooler than in the last 100 years-so, why on earth would oceans be cooling, ice caps be growing, and hurricanes be less prevalent? Hmmmmm-I just can’t understand why, when the whole earth is going to get swallowed up by water, and millions are going to die due to hot weather, colossal hurricanes thousands of miles across and all the planetary climate models created on computers programmed by psychotic climate change robots, there would be thickening ice caps, later thaws in the arctic circle than have been seen in centuries, and growth of glaciers across the andes and the himalayas….I just don’t believe it!
The real question is: Can we afford to take the chance of sending Dear Leader to Scandinavia to pick up his un-earned Peace prize? I mean, what if a sudden cold snap swallows up the whole North and grounds his plane or worse? This could be dire news indeed.
On second thought, let him go and take Pelosi and Reid with him!
