I hear the Heartland Institute is an unbiased source for Global Warming, right? Next time try posting a reputable source.
It amazes me that these anti-global warming folks still exits. The Arctic Ice has melting to its lowest levels and we just had another scorching summer where crops are dying and fish are turning up dead in lakes.
"Antarctic sea ice hasn't seen these big reductions we've seen in the Arctic. This is not a surprise to us," said climate scientist Mark Serreze, director of the NSIDC. "Some of the skeptics say 'Well, everything is OK because the big changes in the Arctic are essentially balanced by what's happening in the Antarctic.' This is simply not true."
Projections made from climate models all predict that global warming should impact Arctic sea ice first and most intensely, Serreze said. "We have known for many years that as the Earth started to warm up, the effects would be seen first in the Arctic and not the Antarctic. The physical geography of the two hemispheres is very different. Largely as a result of that, they behave very differently."
You really don't like to hear that Antarctica is making ice so fast, do you?
This news has been around for more than a year. Of course, leaners avoided reading any of it.
How do you explain all the exploration going on up there due to the ice opening up?

I read it, but unlike you I understand it....I'll bet that you don't want to hear that the Antarctic is losing land ice (that will raise sea levels) faster than it is gaining sea ice (that will not effect sea levels even if it all melted) There is a net loss of ice in the Antarctic...
Ice loss from Antarctica (orange) and Greenland (blue) for the period 2003-2010
In Gigatons ( gigaton is one billion tons )
I wonder if the earth's rotational speed would change if the poles melted away, similar to a figure skater who spins faster when they contract their limbs to form a narrower pillow. When the ice turns into water, the water will likely be forced towards the equator, i.e. the earth might spin slower, right?

The AGW lemmings like to cherry pick their data. So, yes, some areas had high temps. Others did not and in fact had very cool temps. And yes, some glaciers are melting, others are not.
And finally, many credible sources say there has been NO warming since 1998.
"The other two widely used global temperature data sources are from earth-orbiting satellites UAH (University of Alabama at Huntsville) and RSS (Remote Sensing Systems.) Both show decreasing temperatures over the last decade, with present temperatures barely above the 30 year average."
Nice cherry picking there Roadking, but I ain't buying it...
From your first link....The globally averaged mass balance of glaciers and ice caps is negative... An anomalous gain of mass has been suggested for the Karakoram glaciers, but was not confirmed by recent estimates of mass balance.
I disregard your second link...It is to a denier's site...He talks about record low temperatures in BC this summer...I live in BC and this has been the hottest driest summer I can remember, as a matter of fact it has been in the high 70s all this week...The idiot also claims sea levels are falling...A true denier.
Regarding your last link (out of date, but still indicates warming) and statement...The records show that the earth IS warming...It is time to admit that the earth is indeed warming, the glaciers overall are melting and the Antarctic is losing, not gaining ice to the tune of 12 billion tons since 2003.
