Good thing co2 makes up a miniscule % of greenhouse gas. Ooops the article failed to point that out.

I hope these loons are right because it's already snowed here and I don't like winter much anymore. A year long growing season would do us all nice and allow for more baseball.

Can you see this? Climate Change: Evidence

We're waiting for the sea level to rise so we can wash it all off.

So...... we should still be living in the cold and misery of the little ice-age?

Where is the normal climate for you people, was it the year al Gore was born, and anything that deviates from that is catastrophic and apocalyptic?

Wait.... before you post it, don't bother to link to some scammer's climate chart that shows temp increases measured from within the little ice-age, and claim it shows definitive proof of man-made global warming.

Well you may have a long wait...It's rising, but so far not all that fast...Ice melts slowly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15580679

Actually much of the land masses on earth are still rising because of post-glacial rebound. This make sea level rise even more dramatic.
Post-glacial rebound is the response of the solid Earth to the retreat of glaciers and the resulting loss of the hefty weight. As glaciers retreated at the end of the last Ice Age, the land under the ice began to rise and continues to do so. Hang On! Earth's Surface Moving North | LiveScience

We are already into a La Nina, and showing that it is likely to progress into a very strong one this year. Its only premature so far, but Oct satellite data showed a very strong dip in the global lower atmosphere.

You would think with such increases, we would see a warming, but this is not the case. Though I am sure, some will chime in that this is supposed to happen, forgetting that the research used to establish the position of warming indicates just the opposite will happen.

I wonder how they'll explain that to the muddled masses of AGW cult believers.
Just hasn't reached its "tipping point" yet... give it time, it will tip eventually... oh wait... I mean, it will shoot up rapidly and hit that tipping point and the world will turn into a Hollywood movie! Yeah, that's it!
