Global Warming paradox

[tmarket]

Quote from ChkitOut:

The fact that the 'global warming' argument is divided down
political lines should tell you its highly suspect.

It is only divided down if you choose to divide it down. John McCain, Republican, was quite a proponent of warning about global warming threats until the polls in his home state told him otherwise and his national ambition was thwarted.

.. and yes, you can have it both ways, there are peaks and troughs in global temperature, just as there are bubbles and crashes in stock markets around the world. The general trend for both are up in the long term, as they would be in a man made world that is growing.

this was just posted on another thread.

there is no warming if you look back 10,000 years.

The world's ice is melting. Is the ice politicized?

Here's a good one for the global warming frauds:
The Volcanic Mount Pinatubo Eruption of 1991 that Cooled the Planet

ejected 15 - 30 million tons of sulfur dioxide gas
Ozone hole over Antarctica reached an unprecedented size
the entire planet was cooled 0.4 to 0.5°C

Not all of it. In fact it doesn't seem to be melting at all in the mid west right now.

Facts are misrepresented to advance a political agenda.

Don't believe the alarmists that the artic and antartic ice sheets are melting.

tell about the global cooling to that poor polar bear who swam 700 km in search of ice

from your article...

"Data collections at the University of Illinois confirm summer sea ice in the Arctic reached a 30-year minimum in 2007, but they also prove the largely unreported fact that summer sea ice spread in the Antarctic reached a 30-year maximum the same year. "

"Skeptics of global warming point to some Patagonia glaciers that remain stable, or that are even growing, such as Argentina’s Perito Moreno Glacier. But Gino Casassa, director of Glacier and Climate Change Research at the Valdivia, Chile–based Center for Scientific Studies, says that global warming can also lead to more rain, or snow in the case of regions such as Patagonia. Studies from NASA show that the Patagonian Ice Fields, which extend some 6,600 square miles altogether and are the third-largest continental ice sheet in the world, after Antarctica and Greenland, account for about 9 percent of annual global sea-level change from mountain glaciers. “There is scientific evidence showing a new cycle of activity in GLOFs, and not just Lago Cachet. Glaciers are melting and lakes growing in size throughout Patagonia—a clear sign of global warming,” says Casassa."
