Entire Antarctic Shelf splitting away from Continent.

I'm not the one going against scientific evidence. This isn't about "projecting", it's not about blatant "distortion" or "poor" communications no matter how much you want it to be. You are arguing very subtle well crafted points that don't relate to anything to do with this thread and you know it. You're spinning, unsuccessfully I might add, the point and are attacking me of all people. "I'm becoming unhinged." HAHA

gb: Why have average temps been falling since 1998? Please explain using all of scientific abilities.

OK, gatorback, whatever. Spinning? That's rich, coming from you. You've drank the Kool-Aid for man-made global climate change so much, it is impossible to discuss it with you. My points are part of this thread, since they addressed your presumptuous argument that ice volume or depth is also being measured, which it is not. It is merely being speculated.

rg: I would say average temps have not fallen--that's a little different that your saying average temps have been falling. One would suggest no change. I think meteorologist point to la nina for the current weather; however, the climatologist point out the general trend to warming. Who are you going to trust some schmo off the street or the people doing the research?

Classic. Here is an ice sculpture of Al Gore shivering:

The Antarctic ice shelf is held together only by an ever-thinning 40-km (25-mile) strip of ice that has eroded to an hour-glass shape just 500 meters wide at its narrowest.

In 1950, the strip was almost 100 km wide.

What was the strip like in 1850? Or 1750?

You are aware that it is considered the SUMMER season in this region of the planet?

Yes the weather has changed. It's colder today then it was a few weeks ago. This does not make a climate change. You are moving and sizing the window to suite your argument. "Look, it's colder today; therefore, man-made global warming is media generated." I'm sorry if I'm going against your trend. If you feel I'm drinking spiked Kool-Aid, whaterver. The climate is changing.

Stephen, I was just thinking that. However, I have enough stamina to last till the end of the year. At which time, we will have new data from satellites to support us.

Another infantile response. If you are incapable of using logic rather than accepting what is ever spoon-fed to you, then there is no point in conversing with you. But keep using distorting my posts as a way to derogate anybody who doesn't agree with you.

Charleston native · January 21, 2009, 05:08:56 PM

As it always has. Regardless of man.

Stephen: If I were you, I would not be attacking the sanity of others.

BTW, I see the ascension of Obama has not lessened your partisan vitriol one bit.

I am not the one saying 90 % of the climatologist are wrong.

"Your opinion, backed by nothing..."

This is a true "Laugh Out Loud" moment.
