And, Marshall added, all studies now show that human activities are the drivers of climate change in the Antarctic.

Not even close!

I almost wish for another Ice Age to come about just to prove these idiots wrong.

Be careful what you wish for. There have been very few sunspots since the first of the year. Some of them are from the old cycle, and only a couple from the new one. The longer we have a dearth of sunspots, the more likely we'll be going into a 'sunspot minimum'. Previous minimums, such as the Maunder Minimum, in the Middle Ages, and the Dalton Minimum, in the late 1700's and early 1800's caused much colder than normal temperatures. In fact, the Maunder Minimum is considered a Little Ice Age.

I'm proposing, if we, in fact, are heading into a sunspot minimum, it should be named the Al Gore Minimum, just to emphasize what a goober he truly is for pushing this Global Warming carp!

His response? Spaceweather.com is run by the government, which is owned by the oil companies, so the picture was a fake.

What an unmitigated idiot!
