    you're confused, arctic ice extents now increasing last two years (from a rock bottom minimum since records started in 1970s, sure). Look forward to seeing the 1960s data.

    Funny some of "the melting" in antarctica not due to AGW at all but volcanoes, some of those sensationalists need to reign it in, hurting the cause.

    Some of the sensationalist claims made by IPCC and ilk not scientific at all, and they've backpedaled on some of them in latest climate report

    Russia can grow its own bread, and the regional "breadbasket" is the Ukraine. No problem there for Putin in the matters of bread.

    You are being silly, just talking of preference of one of infinite number of methods of averaging. That's fine but don't claim that one particular one has to be intrinsic to "climatology" (perhaps one major university in the world has field of study recently created named that, normally degree that would be in a couple other realms for a serious scientist, instead "climatologist" mostly a tag for agenda driven pseudo scientists at the IPCC).

    You sure are a source of amusement for those of us who have studied geophysics (not "climatology")

    Sorry, you're using multi-year averaged graphs (and probably the IPCC which go higher than NASA's).

    Yes, Arctic ice making year on year recovery for now, but sure that can change. I just like reality rather than hoopla.

    Ice minimum not decreasing, is increasing, your last sentence contains fallacy.

    "Legitimate?" Those "separatists" are in violation of the law of their land, they are armed terrorists. Do you think you would be legitimate if you illegally possessed heavy weapons and declared war on Washington DC, and were shooting down civilian aircraft, blowing up vehicles and killing people? Of course not.

    Not by very much at all, what with 1998 being the warmest year and all. And note Arctic ice percentage climbing again in last two years. Hmm, the mainstream models are not panning out. You are the asshole, aping dumbed-down pop summaries without understanding.

    There are many theories and models of climate change, not one. Reputable mainstream scientists question parts of them and refine and change the models (e.g. warming in antarctic via volcanoes or AGW). You probably have a very superficial knowledge of science yourself, not even up to the level of entry level college courses.

    Suppose the activation potential of a neuron is a quantum mechanical quantity that is probability driven (we know the light sensors in the eye are, sometimes a single photon can activate them). Your computer can't model that to arbitrary precision, the probability density function is continuous, analog, not discrete.

    Yes there was some direct observational evidence, the predicted nuclei being present in the sun for both the hydrogen to helium and O-C-N. You are speaking of refinement of the model and gathering of more evidence. I was just miffed by someone saying "known since the 1960s", that's in my lifetime and I know for fact my grandfather was a kid when fusion known, in 1920 Eddington had the gist of what happens in the Sun: hydrogen to helium with 0.7% of energy converted to energy.
