I wish I could share your enthusiasm about more ice pack this year. Can I be glad about that and still not see this particular individual finding as
evidence that global warming is a hoax perpetrated on the public by Al Gore?
Is it ok If I believe, as a majority of scientists who study the phenomenon do, that we will see the affects of GLOBAL temperature rise by
increasingly dramatic weather events i.e. more hurricanes, torential rains, tornadoes, warming ocean currents, rising sea levels? If it's ok for me
to believe the overwhelming findings of climatologists then I assume you can see why i and others may not share your enthusiasm any more than we would
be enthusiastic about a grossly obese person refusing an extra cookie.
Is it ok for you to post statements that are not true and then change the subject and not respond to the corrections? A simple 'Thank you" would be
appreciated by this writer, who is helping you not to appear so ignorant by repeating untrue statements. Consider it a gift amigo.

Thank you for participating in this thread... I really thought everyone would welcome the news of more ice instead of no ice this past August,
compared to the year before.    |
David, I agree with you that certain
individuals and groups have used the global warming issue as a vehicle to enrich themselves, but do you really believe that the thousands of climate
scientists, who after years of meticulous in depth research, have come to the conclusion that man's activities are negatively affecting the
environment, are somehow part of some vast conspiracy to make Al Gore rich and destroy America?

Points well made Rick. And it isn't so much about the man as the sad number of others like him you could have been describing. More people are
killed by baseball bats than by guns, right David.
Take a breath, let it out slowly, I invite you to LOOK for a contradiction to your argument now and then and see if it has merit before you share. It
can deliver a liberating feeling, breaking out of lock step. I bless your journey.

You're giving him to much credit. If he was playing he would do it better.
Anyway, that brings us back to deception and it's merits.
