This is reality, no matter how much you like it or not. This isn't a subtle point, or one that no one has addressed before, it's been around for many years. I don't see why anyone needs to waste more time on things you refuse to accept.
Except that there has been global cooling since 1998. That is more than a blip. Scientists were talking about 1 degree increase from 1900 to 1998. Thermometers were only accurate to + or - 1 degree in the early 1900's.
Even forgetting about climate change, it takes a total imbecile not to realize mankind cause hideous deadly smog, polluted streams that catch on fire, nuclear radiation poisoning from meltdowns of power plants, into the ocean, massive oil spills, great harm to living creatures of the ocean and land mammals as well. Garbage dumps across the nation and the world with less and less places to bury it. Deniers are selfish, self centered pigs that don't give a rats patootie about keeping the world from self imploding into a pile of our own muck.
Do you still drive and turn on the heat when it is cold, ac when it is hot, use a refrigerator? You are a selfish pig then.
Obviously you two do not believe in global warming....I am not saying man made global warming, just global warming.
Unfortunately most disagree with you, all that is debatable is the amount of effect man has on global warming which isn't definitely known at this point, but it is definitely happening....even if it snows in one place in May because global warming isn't about the weather in one specific place.
There's ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, there is no global warming.
Nothing to see here.
<sigh>... all of those are nothing but examples of weather.
Now, if you want proof of man-made global warming climate change, then a back-to-back El Nino event in the mid to late 1990s that gave us freak high temps.... now that.... that is climate change.
John Nolte (@NolteNC): I bet if those global warming researchers had found what they were looking for, the media woulda reported who they are.
Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke): I'm struggling to think of another instance in which researchers being struck by something they said wouldn't happen wouldn't make the news.
It's always entertaining when people manifestly display their hopeless scientific ignorance - not to mention their ability to do basic math.
One can only wonder at the implication that the fact that there is ice near the poles somehow refutes global warming, which is nothing more than the well-documented observation that the average temperature of the Earth is rising. In places (such as the poles) where the mean temperature is well below freezing, it would require global warming of many tens of degrees before there is no more ice.
Understanding that doesn't require any great knowledge of global temperatures, just the ability to think with a modicum of logic and to do math at at least the fifth-grade level. Admittedly, that's asking far too much for many of those who revere ignorance.
You can say that temps are rising, when even the biggest proponents for man-made climate change over at the IPCC admit that the global warming they predicted has... well... stalled out???? There has been no warming!
The thing is, scientists don't understand the complexities of the earth's climate, it ocean mechanics, as well as they pretend to. So when the ocean currents and wind currents shift, and cause warmer water and air to warm our colder regions on the planet, is this a normal cyclical occurrence, or is is man's contribution of CO2 the lone cause for these events?

The inconvenient truth is...
