Prevoius changes in temperature almost 3 times the current.

Quotes:
1) (supposed proof of global warming) Schneider and Steig estimate that West Antarctica warmed about 1.6 degrees F (0.9 degrees C) over the 20th century.

2) (natural changes much more that our current catastrophy) For example, during a major El Nino event from 1939 to 1942, temperatures in West Antarctica rose by about 6 to 10 degrees F (3-6 degrees C), and then dropped by an estimated 9 to 13 degrees F (5-7 degrees C) over the next two years.

I cant find where all the scientists are who believe in anthropogenic global warming, almost all my colleagues are skeptics. A lot depends on how long a term view one takes in examining climate change. 30 years is statistically nothing - most warming and cooling events in the Holocene last 200 years or more and the latest has a long way to go to match medieval and earlier warming trends. Most of the last 60 million years thetre werent any ice caps at all. All educated people know it was warmer when Greenland was farmed and the northwest passage open to rowing/sailing boats at that time. Gee its hard to get excited now that there are two consecutive years of severe cooling with sea ice at record levels in both hemispheres. Maybe we wont need the uranium economy dictated by the IPCC - who are a political not scientific body</p> Why dont climate protagonists fight with arguments?
