Chuckster:
"Maybe he should look at The Rest of the story " Thanks for a great link.
It shows that while Arctic ice may be shrinking, in some years, at the same time Antarctic ice has been steadily growing for geological epochs, and continues growing today.
This growth in Antarctic ice still offsets declines in other areas, keeping global sea-levels relatively stable.
So, here is a summary of anti-AGW (anthropogenic global warming) arguments:
- Every weather related record we have shows that global temperatures rise and fall naturally over whatever time-scale you wish to examine -- by year, by decade, by century, millennium or longer time periods, the climate has always changed, naturally.
- There is no compelling evidence to confirm how much, if any, of today's alleged climate changes are man-caused, as opposed to natural fluctuations.
- Evidence of scientists' data-tampering or "spinning" suggests there is something other than science behind many reports.
And that something is? Politics, of course.
- Today's relatively warm interglacial time is still well within temperature limits set by previous interglacial periods.
So there's no reason to think the natural order has somehow been overturned.
- However, previous warm interglacials were relatively short-lived, perhaps 10,000 years followed by 100,000 year long ice-ages.
When warm interglacials ended, it was often very suddenly and quickly.
So, the current interglacial is past-due to end any day now.
- But if the current alleged warming, however much man-caused or natural, helps delay the next ice age by a century or two, then how is that even a problem?
Did I miss something?

Didn’t miss anything.
Over a decade ago, there was testimony provided in congress where “scientists” were actually asked what was percentage of “human activity’s” contribution to climate, compared to natural processes. The answer - about 0.01%.
Wish I had kept the link to that. I’ve tried to find it to no avail. I had read that before doing any online posting.

Glad to see that we’ve got our and brightest mind on it.

Man is standing in the middle of a weather system that is constantly in flux and permanently CHANGING
It has been since time immemorial.
The planet is its own self correcting system.
Man has the unmitigated self-importance to believe he can influence the system as a whole.
Just a reminder from George Carlin ( may he RIP ).
