Ummm...

You are behind.

There has been not one single peer reviewed scientific paper that contradicts the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis. Not one.

The top scientists in the field say that about 95% of climatologists agree.

Local cooling is part of pretty much every model of global warming, though details vary. The average increase is undisputed.

One of the top ten scientific discoveries of this year according to Science is that the combined Greenland and Antarctic ice packs are losing ice to the ocean. That is important because unlike the break up of the ice shelfs which you cite, loss of ice pack to the ocean causes a rise in sea level. It is also a further progress in warming. Your claim that the kinds of scientists I cite don't discuss the ice shelf vs. ice pack and the previous (now no longer true) growth of ice pack overall indicates that you have not visited "Real Science" and aren't familiar with Jim Hansen. All these things are FREQUENTLY discussed by scientists. So what is your problem with the broad consensus of scientists I cite?

Many claims against anthropogenic global warming are based on old or false information, such as "not too long ago climatologists predicted an ice age," "scientists are still divided," "warming is caused by the eruption of Pinatubo (a Rush Limbaugh lie), and "mars is also undergoing warming so it can't be caused by humans." These all are false or used in a very misleading way, but remain circulated by the mainstream media and right wing sources.

You are talking as if I am not talking about real insiders. Given that I indicate who I am taling about (people at CUNY, GISS, NASA, Columbia are among them), I find that very interesting. You seem to be the one resorting to implication that somehow I am citing non-real scientists. And you cite the "aluminum siding" industry? Well I can cite the insurance industry, ski industry and the endangered Vermont Maple Syrup industry which are all VERY concerned with warming. But when you get right down to it it is the peer reviewed science that is telling us what is going on. And not one paper contradicting the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis has ever been published in a peer reviewed journal. That and the numbers are the bottom line, not the aluminum siding industry or local deviations.

"A lot of people say, 'I never knew my dad,'" he said. But, he added: "You knew the myth, you knew your mother's hatred, you knew your anger, you knew your dad was a loser. Trust me, you knew your dad.
