...which proves absolutely nothing, and you know it (or at least you should). Have you measured temperatures across Washington state for the last 40 years? Do you have written records of those observations? Can you tell me the average temperature for the last decade? I mean you can't all be that dense.
We are talking about a global phenomena here. The fact that there has been unusually warm temperatures in California this year, or that you got a little snow in Washington means very little to the global picture. I haven't collected worldwide temperature data and neither have you, but I tend to believe the scientists who have collected such data. Those who report the facts should be distinguished from those who interpret what those facts mean.
For my own local evidence (which is also meaningless in isolation), I've seen pictures of the glaciars on Mt. Killamanjaro from two decades ago and from only two years ago (my fiance climbed it then). There is no question that the glaciers on that mountain, and in fact glaciers all over the world, are receding. Polar icebergs are breaking off into the sea in ever larger chunks. That is not to say it has never happened before - maybe it is all part of a cycle. But it is not something you need to be afraid of and deny in the face of so much evidence.
Those who report the facts should be distinguished from those who interpret what those facts mean. Everybody is not lying just to convince you that global temperatures are rising. It is perfectly legitimate to debate the causes, but to deny the facts when you have no contrary evidence to back it up only makes you sound nutty.
Okay, but isn't it true that glaciers move forward and recede based primarily upon snowfall rather than temperature? Isn't it a little more complicated than you suggest?
