 Canada Struggles with Melting Permafrost as Climate WarmsEnvironmental | 206684 hits | Jul 07 11:22 am | Posted by: DrCaleb  In 2006, reduced thickness of ice roads forced the Diavik Diamond Mine in Northern Canada to fly in fuel rather than try to transport cargo across melted pathways, at an extra cost of $11.25 million.Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

It's almost as if 2013 had the most expensive stuff, the most stuff and the most people ever in Canadian history.
Just a quick question, when was the first few years those Glaciers were losing mass? Could it be that they have been shrinking before the kick up in CO2 prior to the 1900s? If that was so wouldn't it indicate a factor other than CO2 driven shrinking?
Everyone panic and demand higher taxes to solve this crisis!!

Most people don't think that CC/AGW is entirely people's fault- but the use of coal and then oil to power civilization has probably sped up the process.
In my mind, the only question is how much change are people are responsible for? 1%? 2% 5%? 10%? 25%?

Well if you take a climate model and strip out everything but CO2 warming you get a max projection at current CO2 emissions of 1.5C in 100 years. The biggest warming caused by CO2 has already happened. So humans are likely on the hook for 0.5C of warming so far.

I wouldn't have thought it as high as 33% (.5 C / 1.5 C), but it's certainly possible.
