OF COURSE IT CONCERNS ME AND EVERYONE ELSE
HOWEVER, WE LEFT THE MATTER TO OUR IDIOTIC
WORLD LEADERS TO SORT OUT THE PROBLEM BUT
IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE TOO BUSY NOWADAYS FIGHTING EACH OTHER. I AM CONFIDENT THAT WHEN THERE'S PEACE ON EARTH THEY WILL LOOK
INTO IT. WHICH IS NEVER.
SOME LEADERS GOT INTO OFFICE BY HOOK OR CROOK AND SOME WERE CRAMMED DOWN OUR
THROATS AND THERE'S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN
DO TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. WE ALL KNOW
THE SOLUTION BUT NONE OF OUR LEADERS ARE
INTERESTED ENOUGH TO BRING IT UP.

I am not concerned.
I believe that the Earth's atmosphere is constantly changing and has cycles of approximately every 5 years, 50 years, 500 years, 500 years etc and the planet has moved from ice ages to tropical and back over time.
I believe at present we are nearing the peak of a warm cycle and that in 5-10 years we will see the temperatures begin to drop. Who can remember the heatwaves which happened in the mid Seventies, Eighties and Nineties and approximately half way between each we had extreme winters where 'record' low temperatures were recorded.
If mankind is doing so much damage, why do we insist on going against nature any creating places to live in areas where nature did not intend such as deserts etc. Everything is driven by politicians and corporate business who fund all the research. When I see a report which is not paid for by someone with a vested interest I might change my opinions

The Arctic ice does not worry me but the West Antarctic ice sheet does. This is the last marine-based ice sheet left in the world (in the long distance past there were many more) and this means that is is very unstable. If it collapses there could be a huge surge of meltwater into the ocean which could in theory shut off the thermohaline circualtion and cause a sudden cooling in Northern Europe, plunging us into a mini ice age.
Obviously this is mostly theory, but there is evidence to suggest that this has happened in the past (recorded in corals in Thaiti and other places) where a rapid warming is replaced by a rapid cooling. Events like this have happened in the past and whether or not they are human-induced or naturally caused today, I still think its something to think about (even though it obviously won't be happening in the near future)!

No because climate change is a natural thing that has happened for ever. Get a glass fill it with water and ice, leave it to melt..... does the overall level of water rise? NO!
melting sea ice will not raise the sea level, nor cause any of the other catastrohpies that have been predicted.
Climate change IS real, it IS here, but I am sure that it is NOT caused by humans, (explain why the planet was hotter 600 years ago than now?) nor can we do anything to stop it, short of strapping a 4000 square mile rocket onto the earth and powering us slightly away from the sun.
We need to look at how to adapt to it, rather than panic and start asking for all kinds of new taxes to pay for it.

obtainable reasons could be: - lots warmer than standard temperatures interior the Arctic combating freeze up - wind types pushing ice inwards and combating its boost. some mix of the above 2 seems maximum possibly. Like pegmimer says, it extremely is Arctic climate...

It's worth keeping an eye on. But it's far from dangerous just now. There might be ways to control it in the future, but there aren't yet; the best way to give ourselves a chance of fighting it if and when it gets dangerous, is to undergo as much scientific progress and economic growth as possible.
But by and large, the climate just changes over time, hotter and colder, always has, and we deal with it.

It would concern me more if we were heading for an Ice Age.

Yes. I feel bad for the polar bears drowning. We need to use alternative fuels. CO2 levels are the highest the have ever been. What happened to the electric car?

No, it does not....
Why ?
Because there isn't a damn thing I or anyone else can do about it...
This Liberal crap that global warming is man caused is total nonsense...
The earth has been, and still is,
in a natural occurance called global warming ever since the last ice age ended...
