Gee, I wonder what GW is going to do to the place?

But is it gaining or losing VOLUME, which is what really matters?
Oh really? Volume is what matters is it? And you came to this conclusion yourself or did you read it somewhere? What actually matters is temperature. And the Antarctic has ben getting colder for 60 years, and sea ice has been increasing. So if the volume is reducing, then it can only mean that precipitation has reduced. Is this to be expected with a cooling climate in the region? Who knows. (In fact Greenland is gaining thickness but loosing area so this could be the case). But clearly it isnt getting warmer in antarctica, and THATS the important point. And it is important because the theory of GH gas warming is that the poles sould warm the most. And only one is. So its not GH gas warming, Its a shift of heat from the southern hemisphere to the north or some such. As for the rest of mu points you didnt contradict them, can I take this as implicit agreement?
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
Nice attempt at a redirect, but it's not going to work. You keep talking about increasing area... But if the area increases and the thickness drops, well then is there MORE ice or less? THAT's what matters when talking about the ice caps. The amount of ice that is on the cap instead of adding to sea levels.

You're using increased AREA to imply decreased temperatures... Like I said, VOLUME is what matters. Do you have any evidence of colder temperatures besides the surface area of the ice sheets, or are we done here?

No, I just don't feel like discussing the same old crap with you over and over again, so I'm just picking one point to comment on. Honestly, I don't know why I bother... This is like trying to talk sense to CSS... Utterly pointless.

Ho hum, here we go again. In your previous reply you said: Well, I meant in human recorded history. So records of Scottish temperatures were kept as far back as say the Sumerians or Herodotus? (Depend when you think human recorded history started.) If you actually meant since records began, say so and give the date (or is it 'not very much').

And saying that the flood in pakistan is the worst flood ever, despite qualifiy that by 'in the countries history, which is the truth. And of course if that history only extsnds back 60 years, which is the case with pakistan, its not very much.
I never said that and even if I had done so that still does not mean your claims are not exaggerated (or, alternatively, you are just plain sloppy in your claims - like some researchers you berate? :) ).

Or didnt you know that Pakistan was created when India left the British Empire?
I learned that at school many years ago. And again it's irrelevant - questioning what I know is a tactic to divert attention from the fact that you make claims that when questioned do not stand up because they are exaggerated.

Yes, I know what heat is... But why do you keep assuming that being "global" means it's affecting EVERYTHING? If it hits parts of North America, Asia, and Africa (or whichever regions it was - I'm caring less about this by the second) it's global, as opposed to regional.

This one, though it does seem to resemble another recent argument. You're claiming that to be a "global phenomenon", it has to affect everything. I'm saying it only indicates that the effect is in multiple parts of the globe, instead of confined to one region.

So human recorded history = Scottish recoded history? That's what I mean - you make broad sweeping statements that when challenged you have to retract. BTW is there a temperature record that stretches back to the beginning of even Scottish recorded history?

A. Who or what is the official that legislates definitions? :) B. You missed the :laugh: or you have no sense of humor. C. An official definition of moron: "Moron" was coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Ancient Greek word μωρός (moros), which meant "dull" (as opposed to "sharp"), and used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70, being superior in one degree to "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and superior in two degrees to "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). Since my mental age on the Binet scale is greater than 12 and my IQ is substantially higher than 70, I'm not a moron. Of course you may have some unofficial definition, but that does not count according to you. So either accept it or be deemed an "idiot". ;P
