Why is the science channel so stupid!? Im watching a global warming show right now. there plan is to cover greenland in a giant blanket to reflect the suns energy. a huge arctic summer storm just hit causing the temperature to drop to -20 degrees. slowing progress...... this is dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life. tell me how Ice can melt in -20 degrees? I am at a loss for words here there is so many thing wrong here on so many levels. why does the science channel have to air such nonsense?

Hey I%26#039;m dying here.
I can%26#039;t get the science channel here so I haven%26#039;t seen this, but if what you are saying is correct, it somehow seems to fit in with the other lunacy that the doomsayers continue on with.

Are you sure that this blanket doesn%26#039;t serve a dual purpose.
Look for a long electrical cord attached to it.
They may be preparing for the coming ice age, and it is actually a large electric blanket!
Sorry, I%26#039;m about to pee my pants right now!

Good Luck!

If you don%26#039;t know how, and instead of learning, just call it stupid, then perhaps you should not be watching the science channel. Because ice can indeed subliminate directly to vapor when sun light hits it, no matter how cold it is.

Have you not ever taken food out of your freezer and seen that it has shrunk, because all the water went out of it?

Its called sublimation. Going directly from a solid- ice- to a gas. It happens when the humidity of the air is very low. The colder the better for it to work. You said a storm hit. What was the weather like before then? I%26#039;m guessing sunny and warmer.

If the scientist said there is no problem they would be out of a job. I do not want any of my tax money going for that. Stay with it U know it is a lie to make money.

Because people who believe in AGW are shown to be less than bright, and will believe what ever is flashed on the screen in bright pretty colors and cool graphics.

You should never question the powers of Mother Nature...

I think what your trying to say is that it is an impractical solution.

if your too ignorant to understand what they are saying, maybe you just shouldnt watch it.

Subject: IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING, BUT IT IS A SHIFT IN CLIMATE ZONES DUE TO THE DECREASE IN THE EARTH%26#039;S OBLIQUITY

%26gt; The earth%26#039;s obliquity Angle decreases by 0.47%26quot; each
%26gt; year, which changes the focus of the sun%26#039;s radiation
%26gt; on earth, resulting in climate shifts. As the
%26gt; obliquity angle decreases, the hemispheres change in
%26gt; basic temperature with the south becoming colder and
%26gt; the north becoming warmer. When the obliquity angle
%26gt; reaches about 22 degrees, it will start to go the
%26gt; other way and the north will get colder again and the
%26gt; south will become warmer. Obviously, and counter to
%26gt; Al Gores unlearned theories, the warming of the
%26gt; northern hemisphere cannot be stopped by man. It will
%26gt; stop and reverse itself. Then the climate shifts we
%26gt; presently experience will be goin the other way. It
%26gt; is pure logic applied to astro-physical law.
%26gt;
%26gt; It has long been recognized that rather than staying
%26gt; constant, obliquity varies slowly with time as a
%26gt; result of external gravitational influences. The Moon
%26gt; and Sun%26#039;s tidal torques on Earth%26#039;s ellipticity give
%26gt; rise to the familiar 26,000-year astronomical
%26gt; precession, while the gravitational pull of other
%26gt; planets, primarily Jupiter and Venus, slowly perturbs
%26gt; the orientation of the ecliptic plane in space. The
%26gt; combined effect observed by Earth dwellers is an
%26gt; ~41,000-year oscillation in the obliquity with overall
%26gt; amplitude typically of about 2°. This oscillation is
%26gt; one of the three Milankovitch cycles that ultimately
%26gt; affect our long-term climatic system and serve as the
%26gt; pacemaker of ice ages. The present-day obliquity
%26gt; happens to be close to the mean value, and we are in
%26gt; the middle of a downswing (see figure (1)). In terms
%26gt; of real distance on the Earth%26#039;s surface, one should
%26gt; see a slow equatorward shift of the tropics by 14.4 m
%26gt; a year-well over 1 km in a century! Astronomy
