Me see - but me no believe.
The only constant on this planet is change.
Now that’s the kind of science that should be getting the headlines.
.....and it makes sense, too.....
Good Heavens Miss Sakomoto you’re beautiful!
Thank you,

I would like to re-post one of the links that have been helpfully posted above and start a new thread, but I cannot find helpful data on either ice extent or mass from any source. JAXA is closest, but falls short.
I am left with telling my "group" that the last few years are an anomaly. BS, they will say.
So that you know, I am in Canada, where nobody gets Fox News, which is 1/2 of the U.S. viewership. Boomers here, by and large, still get their news from television and newspapers. Skeptics are deniers. Black is white. I thought the Internet would have some useful sales tools, but thus far, I haven't run across any. Which leads me to be concerned about government regulation, and Canada's tar sands in particular.
No offense, but you obviously did not review that board closely. It is dominated by skeptics and voluminous information and links which can provide one with great knowledge.
Perhaps I couldn't navigate on that site properly. Thank you for the link. The sites that I ultimately found most useful are: http://bishophill.squarespace.com/ , and http://wattsupwiththat.com/ .
My fundamental PR problem is the Arctic ice cap images. AGW is a very complex issue due to the volume of misinformation and lies generated by its proponents. However, discussing the issue, with a business associate for five minutes over a coffee, for example, inevitably ends with their disbelief that the images could be a lie. I'm getting better at it, but it's tough. This may be unique to Canada, but afterward I am considered suspect, which does not encourage people to speak up.
