Not again

Yes, again and the usual denialists are trotting out the same old, same old debunked long ago arguments.

Yup!

It was -20 here this morning, supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow (all in F)

That's not climate! That's WEATHER!

Exactly but the denialists never seem to get it.

Warming starts every year about this time of year.

???? No, cooling starts every year about this time of year Bruce.

Heck, there was even a reported dusting of snow down south last night.

The planet has been warming up since the end of the last ice age. That is why the ice age ended.
Recently at the base of a glacier that was melting sea shells were found. That meant before the glacier formed the area was a sea and sea creatures lived there.

The more of the ice caps melt the faster the planet will warm up, the faster the planet warms up the faster the ice melts. Nothing we do will change that.
This planet has gone through several ice ages which means it has warmed up and cooled down several times before humans were here. At one time in history the surface was covered in ice. Now we are in another cycle. The sun monitoring satellites have recorded temperature rise in the sun since the 70's.
As the sun warms up so does the planet.

The video was about pre satellite conditions and pre satellite predictions.

Thanks Egon
Despite my innate intolerance to anyone with a British accent and Einstein hair the video was very informative in disproving the cyclic argument of global warming. Unfortunately, reason and discourse have gone the way of manners and education. At the end of the day I am not going to stop using CO2 engines so I suppose I'm the hypocrite.

From the replies it would seem few even viewed the video but so be it.

Wow. Name calling twice in two minutes... how passive/aggressive.

I'm sceptical. Especially when the other side of an argument/discussion resorts to derisive labels to support their hypothesis. I will maturely listen/read to anything proposed, then I will consider the source (and funding) of that data. Only then will I make up my mind.

When it people talk about GW, I'm not a (denialist), I'm in the (dontcarest) group, me myself and eye, excuse me while I go check my windmill.

You and I will be closer to the " beach ", that's what's gonna happen.

Not quite what I had in mind but once you read and try to understand weather and the effects of the sun in regards to our weather then you will fully understand my statement. Not trying to be argumentative just trying to show that what we think we know may not always be the case. The sun and more in particular sunspots which are a driver in our temperature are going into a period of inactivity which is proven to lower our temperatures in fact in our worlds history last occurred in the 1700 hundreds I believe and caused snow in July in places unheard before. Kinda of odd no one is really talking about this the global warming advocates or the deniers.
