re: Yeah, 17 year old articles pertain to this issue?

"Do you really want to play with me on the science of global warming? Do you really believe you can win? Bitch all you want, but the fact is it IS happening and every competent scientist in the field agrees ... You really are ignorant and a fool to deny the reality."

First, no one is disputing global warming, but you not distingishing between global warming and the effects of human activity in regards to global climate.

There are some undisputable facts. The whole subject of "Global Warming" is riddled with pseudo science. And the orgin of "global warming movement" is far older than 17 years. But I try not to waste time focusing on this garbage.

Now, a key element of "global warming movement" is the "Horrible consquences" that will result. And this is tied to idea that the normal [stupid] people are driving us in a direction that requires govt laws in order "save us". The keystone of this is that there is such a thing a runaway affect which can be caused by human emission of CO2.
One question I have is do you consider this runaway affect as a real problem.

Next, you agreed that the Antarctic with it vast quantity of ice is not in any danger of melting any time soon. Further, I would say that Greenland is also not in any danger of melting anytime soon. But of the two [Antarctic & Greenland] Greenland is considerably warmer on average and if the planet were get considerably warmer and for long period of time, Greenland would be at risk before the Antarctic. Btw even the UN is agreeement with this, because it's not predicting 20' rises in sea level even in worse prediction, though the UN is predicting in it's higher end prediction that sea rise could accelerate in the future- and if you were to use this level of acceleration and extend it into Centuries into the future one would reach this point.
Also UN seems to have dropped the idea that horrible consequence are reasonable possibility within the next 100 years.
So are we on same page in regards major disaster occuring from human effects on Global Climate occuring within a 100 year time frame? {not counting the fact that predicting anything 100 years into the future is difficult, e.g. do we even have 100 years of oil to supply world demand- 20 or 30 years can be answered in this regard but it's hard to know beyond this time frame}.
