very true, but if you look at the geological record, you will find a cooling trend over the last 3 million years.

The deniers clearly do not understand the difference between sea ice, shelf ice and land ice. Or how sea ice is formed in the Antarctic.

Yes indeed, why build them if Al Gore says the Arctic will be free of ice.

Does it matter? The Antarctic sea ice is growing, so the scammers only point to the ice in the Arctic as their proof of man caused global warming, even though science does not yet understand the complexities of the Arctic ocean.

Theory: the earth is warming. Not proven

Fact: the earth heats and cools periodically.
You are mistaken, liberal freaks do not even have a workable theory. All they have is an ever evolving hypothesis which goes something like this:
Every kind of climate change the planet makes is somehow very very bad, and humans are somehow responsible for it all. Therefore, all humans must be destroyed through oppressive taxation and fascism.
That, in a nut-shell, is the liberal freak AGW scam.

Okay......send us some samples of each, we'll check them out......

I went to school. They obviously taught us wrong about how ice is formed.

I guess it's far too complicated for untrained laymen to comprehend it.

Can you demonstrate how different kinds of ice is formed for us hicks?

We await those samples.

NASA - Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica

Important role for ocean warming and increased ice-shelf melt in Antarctic sea-ice expansion - Nature Geoscience. 2013
You keep posting these links and you don't even understand the basics. Ocean temperatures could not possibly have been effected by 20th century warming, as it takes hundreds of years for the massive bodies of water to warm. The entire premise behind man made global warming is a 20th century event ... i.e. industrial production of CO2 that was not present when a warming event would have had to take place in order to warm oceans, which would have had to take place about the time Columbus discovered America Can't you people think?

It is the same scenario with CO2 .... ice core samplea show that elevated CO2 levels in the atmosphere are a result of a warming event that took place some 800 years previous to the increase. This is ACTUAL SCIENCE ... and is scientifically explaine by scientists who know what the hell they are talking about, and are not selling this carbon crackpot scheme. As the earth experiences a NATURAL WARMING EVENT ... the oceans sloooowly warm, and release more CO2 ... colder water retains more CO2. This takes HUNDREDS OF YEARS. It has been measured in the ice core samples ... it's not a theory ... it's a fact.

Consequently, CO2 doesn't cause warming ... the higher levels are a RESULT OF WARMING that took place hundreds of years previous to the rise ... because it takes that long to warm the oceans.

Damn you people are thicker than the ice those buffoons are stuck in down in Antarctica.
