It has been posited that at the current rate of ‘global warming’ the Greenland ice mass will melt–in ab 1000 yrs. That coupled w/omissions of: for the past 100-150 yrs sea levels have risen 1.5 ft; the earth’s avg atmospheric temperature has stabilized since 2001; the earth’s avg atmospheric CO2 concentration is 315 ppm; et ad infinitum….what makes anyone believe that Mr Naish is anything but ill-informed/ill-prepared to comment on climate change — a natural phenomenon — or to comment on ‘global warming’ — a theory?
