Global Warming paradox

  1. 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.

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

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

  10. "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."
