This is the part that gets me. It’s another article presenting evidence of warming, which very few people doubt exists.

What the article is not is a presentation of how man made emmissions is causing it. This is a very different assertion; but when left unsaid, the general public assumes all warming discussion is about man made triggers. On it goes.

I heard this morning that the average temp in/at Antarctica is -30.

Now, for any ice to melt there has to be a 62 degree increase in temperature for a hell of a lot longer than a year. It would seem to me that any melting temperature would probably have to be even higher to overcome any ambient air temperature (without wind).

If there is wind, an even higher temp would have to be reached and maintained for any signifigant melting to occur.

I'm no climatologist, and I don't even play one on the internet ... but I did pay attention in 6th grade science class.

Global warming is just a liberal/socialist excuse to increase the size and power of the government and lead us on the road to socialism. Socialism doesn't work as evidenced by the USSR, Cuba , North Korea, Eastern Europe, Cambodia's Killing fields, inner citie in U.S. etc.

Who says global warming exists in the first place? Government funded "scientists" whose funding would dry up if there were no global warming say it exists.

Antarctica has been cooling so how could there be global warming? Don't the liberals/Socialists say that among the first consequences of global warming is the melting polar ice caps that will drown coastal cities? Antarctica Contradicts The Global Warming Theory:

CHURCHVILLE, VA - In direct contradiction to the global warming theory, a forthcoming study in the prestigious journal Nature says the Antarctic has been cooling for the past 30 years. According to the new Nature paper on Antarctic cooling, “Climate models generally predict amplified warming in the Polar Regions, as observed in Antarctica’s peninsula region over the second half of the 20th century.” However, the researchers found “Antarctic meteorological data demonstrates a new cooling on the Antarctic continent between 1966 and 2000, particularly during summer and autumn.” The researchers say that the McMurdo Dry Valleys, for example, have cooled about 0.7 degrees Celsius per decade during this period. The authors conclude, “Continental Antarctic cooling, especially the seasonality of cooling, poses challenges to models of climate and ecosystem change.” Another new study, in the journal Science, says the Antarctic ice sheet is thickening, rather than thinning as had been previously claimed. Some researcher had even predicted that the Antarctic ice sheet would be completely gone in 4000 years, triggering a major sea level rise.

Why are all these so-called scientists completely ignoring the fact that our celestial neighbors (Mars for example) are also experiencing “global warming”? Could it be because any other cause beyond man doesn’t fit nor serve their ulterior motives?
