If only the size of polar ice caps were the only indicator of c*****e c****e - you'd be right. Unfortunately, that's only part of the picture. Renewed ice caps don't un acidify the oceans, regrow coral reefs, move the jet stream back to where it was, or move the gulf stream back to where it was. Perhaps, in 100 years or so, it will make a difference. In the mean time, further disruptions of w*****r p*****ns can be expected.
Weather statistics have only been kept and compiled for the flicker of an eyelid compared to the age of this planet.
Weather is dynamic. It is never in perfect balance any more than your body's chemistry. Always oscillating, ever changing. Cooler climates become warmer, warm climates cool. Ocean currents moving, chemistry and ph never static.
If we look at change over a short period, say 200--300 years we see spikes and valleys. If we look at a longer time scale, say 100,000--300,000 years (according to geological record) we see bumps and dips. If we use an even longer scale, say 100,000,000--300,000,000 years, we see an even flatter line. C*****e c****e is reletive and how it is viewed is totally related to the time frame.
The majority of world scientists have been consistantly saying that the short term change in w*****r p*****ns is quute normal and will continue.
Gore made his fortune by taking a myopic look at weather and paying some selected scientists to see it his way. There have been recent articles printed showing that the hole in the ozone layer is closing.
It is one thing to be duped for a time by Gore and his cronies. With all of the data now being published that refutes Gore's hypothesis, it is quite a different matter to continue beating a dead horse.
