You are right. I expect the cycle to continue with things to start cooling down again within a decade IMHO.

It'd be great if you were right. I don't expect you to be.

Yes, but we are also reaching the end of a more significant 60 year cycle that may be the highest level in the last 1000 years. However, I don't consider this to be incontestable fact.

Good, considering that the observed warming isn't correlated with increasing numbers of sunspots.

As a whole it looks like the continent is gaining more ice than it's losing.

And that's not inconsistent with a trend in warmer sea surface temperatures around Antarctica.

(your next part was read without comment)

What do you think about CO2 from volcanoes versus the level of man's output?

Gases: Man versus the Volcanoes

Volcanic Gases (just to show I double check)

What do you think about the period 700-1000 years ago that was warmer than today, yet man was not putting industrialized CO2 into the atmosphere? This alone makes me a major skeptic.

Solar activity then was about the same as today, and it was lower in between (Maunder Minimum/Little Ice Age). The jury is out -- and of course you don't like the Hockey Stick -- as to whether it was actually warmer or about the same as the 20th century, up to the last 15-20 years.

You should be absolutely sure of what you present when you are helping these a-holes.

Reducing ignorance and addressing bad science should help anyone that wants the truth.

What do you think of the threat of ocean acidification from CO2? Elizabeth Kolbert wrote in the New Yorker that it threatens the very basis of most ocean life.

The tiny plankton have soft shells that have started to dissolve from increased ocean acidity due to more CO2 in the oceans, so the story goes.

Perhaps a more measurable and dire threat than global warming.

"Reducing ignorance and addressing bad science should help anyone that wants the truth."

I agree with you here.
