Global warming increases evaporation so it increases precipitation. In some areas there is therefore an increase in ice. I other areas the increased melt rate more than compensates for this and there is a decrease in ice.

As temperatures continue to increase the net effect is a melting.

Does that make spot's point any clearer?

The northern summer sea ice has never been absent since dinosaurs had a good solution to the how to stay alive problem.

But people are estimating dates this side of 2040 for it's disappearance now.

Therefore there is warming.

I reckon that you only need a stick.

Polluting the environment and especially greenhouse pollution of the atmosphere is an externality to any business. A correct price needs to be put on it and businesses need to be charged.

Then the market will fix the problem. And you don't need to regulate for both carrots and sticks which costs to administer.

If you think that NASA dataset is suspicious use the Hadley Centre one. Or the Satellite ones. They all show warming.

Sorry to disillusion you but your personal experience of pointing your digi at a cliff or cutting and pressing the little button does very little to invalidate all of physics and chemistry. Nor does it make the findings of the world's climate scientists incorrect.

When you pull comments like this out of your astronomical imagination, it makes you look like you are inventing data. Where did you find accurate arctic ice records dating to the Senonian Period 65,000,000+ years ago?

I see by your hectoring tone that you haven't spent the 50 bucks you were offered.Now Wombat,go back into your own little thread and post away there to your hearts content.There you can do all the name calling that you do so well and leave this thread to all the silly people.

"So your claim that warming is an artefact of the urban heat island effect is clearly rubbish.

I suspect therefore that the corrections performed by the GISS are not as bad as you are attempting to make out. They make an urban station match the long term trend of nearby rural stations. That will correct for the urban heat island effect.
Today 07:38
"

Ah yes, now the defense for data prior to urban warming being manipulated (reduced) while later data subject to not only a bit of possible urban warming is not modified and in fact while a station move resulted in instant drastic increases in reported data for reasons that should be obvious to anyone - a location no one would consider putting out their own thermometer at.

No comments? Do any of you nice people have such evidence of former sea levels and glaciation near where you live? the two lines of seashells in photie 1 show clear evidence of the Younger Dryas.Why is Southampton UK rising and falling twice a day ?
