  1. Easy, it is a natural cycle in our Earth's life.  If you take a look, around 1 AD and again around 800 AD the climate was warm enough to grow grapes in Northern England where we can finally start to grow them again.  The Vikings started to raid and expand during the 800 AD to 1066 AD because of a warmer climate that allowed them to travel farther abroad and to even colonize Greenland.

    For the melting ice caps, a lot of them are melting on one side while increasing on the other side.  For the loss of glaciers especially in Africa it is more because of lower than average rainfall than temperature.


  2. Check this out.

  3. Well open your eyes ,it is probably 40 deg.F below freezing ,and u still think it is melting.

  4. the sun

  5. Faster????  How did Greenland earn its name?  Did you know that it use to contain no ice?  How about take a look at history and the number of un-assisted ice ages.  Some say six and there are at least three well known ice ages, but for some reason there were no factories or CO2 producing humans to cause those... Yet, we warmed up and cooled right back down after so many years...  

    Seriously though, GW doesn't even pass the day/night test.  CO2 cools down every single day, otherwise the shade would be just as hot as direct sunlight and night would never cool off.  Where does CO2 store all of this alleged thermal energy?  Simple, there is no thermal energy being stored or maintained for even one day, not to mention the 10, 20, 30 and 100 years that these psychos allege.

  6. There are 1,000 year cycles for some volcanoes.  Maybe there are 2,000+ year cycles for the melting of the ice caps.  How much do we really know about the weather?  We cannot predict it more than a few days in advance.  Our rain making research is limited to silver iodide crystals.  We really have no idea of how to quantify the pollution in the air.  For all our advances, we are really just throwing darts at a dartboard.

  7. The ice caps are back to 100% normal levels and are thicker this year.

    How do you explain warming when the ice caps returned to normal levels?

  8. Melting ice? It has been melting for quite some time now and not just when we started driving SUV's. Maybe the natural state of the planet is supposed to be without ice and we are just coming off an ice age. How much ice is earth supposed to have? Are we at the ideal climate now or is more or less ice ideal? The idea that melting ice is a bad thing is quite idiotic. It is just a way that the Al Gore's of the world will scare you into thinking the seas will rise 20 feet and that humans will be wiped out by all kinds of natural disasters. Most people use common sense and know that the Al Gore theory of Global warming is nonsense. I do agree that the earth may be warming but also know that if you look at temperatures across a broad time span they are cyclical in nature. So we will have some cooler years like the past year, and some warmer ones.

    We do have a pretty stable environment. When the temperature only fluctuates up or down a couple of degrees over thousands of years I would say that is pretty stable.

  9. I think people deny it because they know we might be too late to change it.Its there and we caused it.Some of the ice caps may be due to period change but alot of it is because we didn't take care of the earth.The joke's on us.

  10. Wow, it looks to me (reading above) that the false assertions of doubters are getting more and more extreme (still unsupported with evidence).  I guess they abide by the philosophy that if you're going to attempt to deceive make it such a big lie that no one would believe you could be making it up ;-)

    Greenland without ice?  Yeah, right.  Maybe 100,000 years ago.

    Wine in England?  Amazing, yet it's a healthier crop now than any time in recorded history.

    All the ice is back, as thick as ever and it melted before in both 1 and 800 AD?  Astounding, I guess the 3000 yr-old Ward Hunt Ice Shelf should be informed that it's way younger than it thought.

    The binary thinking doubters can't seem to understand that no matter what has happened in the past, that in no way indicates human activities aren't causing a similar thing in the present.  This consistent lack of basic logic simply amazes me.
