All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880. Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years. Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase.
This is not for you sanrene, because you seem to prefer lies, but others will read it and make their own decisions about what is true and what is not.
Do any of your sources report that the east side of Antarctica has seen an increase in the amount of ice that is greater than the loss on the west side? I bet none of them even talk about that.
CAUTION>>>>>>>This is an interactive viewer...you must have an I.Q. above 100 to comprehend how to use it.
Did you notice that even your maps show that the increase in ice on Antarctica is greater than the decrease of tiny parts of the west. Antarctica is a continent and that means thousands of miles from one side to the other. I think that most of you people with the high IQs manage to misread all those maps and manage to do just what left leaners all over the world want you to do.
Regardless of the greenhouse aspect, which most people will only believe once they are directly affected, what worries me as well is the reason behind the rise, namely that the developing world is dramatically increasing its use of fossil energies. If that trend goes on like that, energy and other resources will become scarce much faster and/or much more expensive than expected And since so many people are incapable of thinking of an alternative, low-profile life-style, I guess I am happy to neither be around anymore a few decades from now, nor have kids...
Not to mention that just a few days ago the 7 billionth human was born...
Do you know of anybody from the UN or any NASA and others who are pushing disuse of fossil fuel who are actually working on those replaceable replacements for fossil fuel? Somehow I don't see any of those people funding or actually working on what can replace our use of fossil fuel.
Well we have seen a number of companies who tried to replace that use going down the chit chute lately. I wonder why that is.

Really now? The East Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass for the last three years, according to an analysis of data from a gravity-measuring satellite mission. Try to keep up... BBC News - East Antarctic ice sheet may be losing mass
Figure 2 (bottom) illustrates what the world may look like 80 million years into the future, with sea level being 120 m lower than today (exposed land shown in dark green). This is what we expect as the ocean basin volume will continue increasing, as it has for the previous 80 million years, due to the aging and deepening of the oceans. If, however, the current inland ice caps partially or entirely melt, then this projected long-term sea level drop will be alleviated by up to about 50 m. However, even in an ice-free world 80 million years into the future, we would see a net projected sea level drop of about 70 meters. Image courtesy of R. Dietmar Müller
put all the blue lines together and it goes the other way.
I read a website that had a bunch of things refuting other causes of global warming besides CO2. Together they made a convincing argument for global cooling.
No, I'm one of the people that is not hiding my head in the sand...I don't know how you guys can stand all that grit in your eyes and ears...I guess that is why you don't see of hear all that well, huh?

We need to fight global cooling.
I say we build more gold smelters.
