What a geographical pinhead. It warms as you go north in the Southern Hemisphere.

And I guess he hasn't see the reports of record Antarctic sea ice.

For an unprecedented third year in a row, Antarctica’s sea ice is poised to smash a new record this month.

The Southern Hemisphere’s unrelenting winds and frigid air froze ocean water into 7.6 million square miles (19.7 million square kilometers) of Antarctic sea ice this southern winter, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said yesterday (Sept. 16).

Ask globull warming alarmists one question: What is the “correct” temperature of the earth? The ask them: Why is the temperature of the period you selected more correct than the Little Ice Age of the 19th Century or the Medieval warming period?

Even on the MSN message board, over half of the comments are laughing at the idiocy of this article.

The “experts” have been wrong about so many things -
coffee, butter, coconut oil, grains, oats, etc,

and they tried to force lifestyle changes on us according to those wrong beliefs,

how is Global Warming any different?

It’s not. It is attempt by the authoritarian liberals to force a lifestyle THEY deem fitting on us. While exempting themselves, of course.

These alarmists never stop.
Every natural process fluctuates around some average value and has done so for millions of years, with few exceptions.
Every once in a while a trend appears in the data, if it continues growing or shrinking unabated for 20+ years, yea that could be bad.
But very unlikely.

And your average sheeperal that you have to deal with... say, a libinlaw...

will vehemently hold to the belief in global warming because it gives them a peg to hang their halo on.

I saw an article in the last six months that someone had gotten a device under the Antarctic sea ice and found it was much thicker than was previously thought.

We must immediately send ALL liberals to Mars in order to terraform the planet so that person-kind can survive!
