Any IDEA why.
Jeez, I must be getting old, I keep skipping words.

So why is Antarctica getting colder. Seriously, I don't know and I'm curious if any conservative is able to actually delve into the science and read past a headline.
Please school me.
Please school me.
FC,
Are you attending?

Yeah, I'm really fucking diplomatic. I'm at my conservative in-laws right now and I'm just glad that they haven't thrown me out yet. Good thing they like my wife.

This is good to learn. The Chinese also see the problem.
BEIJING — Rising seas besieging China’s economically vital coastal zones. Mighty feats of infrastructure, like the Three Gorges Dam and railway in Tibet, strained by turbulent rainfall and the melting of frozen earth. And on the Himalayan frontiers, the risk in future decades of international conflict over dwindling water supplies after glaciers retreat.
These and other somber scenarios are laid out in the Chinese government’s latest scientific assessment of global warming, released just before negotiations in Paris for a new international agreement on climate change.
“There’s deepening awareness of the gravity of the problems,” Zhang Haibin, a professor at Peking University who was among some 550 experts who prepared the report, said in an interview. He noted a shift since the first such assessment was issued nine years ago. “From the first to the second to this third report, the negative impacts of climate change on China are increasingly apparent.”

Natural variation.
Cooling phase with the sun
poles are shifting
or my choice science does not know on this subject or if man made co2 is contributing to warming or cooling because we don't understand how water vapor and clouds are being impacted and how water vapor impacts temps.
or... our proxy records and our instrument records are being fiddled with and given far too much credit for extreme accuracy. They are proxies.

You have been schooled over and over again.
Sadly you are so stuck on your "climate change" agenda that you are unable to learn.
Or as we called it in P&R - the "retarded parrot syndrome".
Why do people question climate change?
Hint: ideology.
Most of the attacks on climate science are coming from libertarians and other political conservatives who do not like the policies that have been proposed to fight global warming. Instead of negotiating over those policies and trying to make them more subject to free-market principles, they have taken the approach of blocking them by trying to undermine the science.
This ideological position has been propped up by money from fossil-fuel interests, which have paid to create organizations, fund conferences and the like. The scientific arguments made by these groups usually involve cherry-picking data, such as focusing on short-term blips in the temperature record or in sea ice, while ignoring the long-term trends.
The most extreme version of climate denialism is to claim that scientists are engaged in a worldwide hoax to fool the public so that the government can gain greater control over people’s lives. As the arguments have become more strained, many oil and coal companies have begun to distance themselves publicly from climate denialism, but some are still helping to finance the campaigns of politicians who espouse such views.
