" ...why are the glaciers and ice caps melting???..."

If you look up.  “Glaciers Melting”
You will get   Lots of,  ‘al gore’, (the Sky is falling)  sites.

If you look up:  “Glaciers Not  Melting”
You will get as  MANY sites. Telling the  Truth.

Here  is a  NASA  site: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-s...
And here is another one: http://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/4/
One says they are, one says not.
The,  ‘Cherry  Picking”,  of  Data.  Is  Very  Apparent !

Last  Ice  Age was only 15,000  +/- years ago,
and we are  STILL,  coming out of it !.

Their have been 5  major  Ice ages, first one, 2 to 2.5   BILLION   Years ago !
The  Last One, about 15,000 years ago.
Next one expected, in  15 to 30 thousand years from Now.

In ALL,   Ice Ages,   their are warming and cooling times.
And  al gore, has  Nothing to do with it  !
(Except, make money, by  LYING)



Just like the latest,  “If it is over 8, you must replace”
Totally, completely  FALSE !
A  clever, commercial, that,  ‘mattress companies’, say, to Increase their revenue, because they KNOW, the  H.R.C. Voter, will ‘DO as They Say” !

Fact is, if you sleep, ON,  the  Mattress, ONLY, Yea.
Most people don’t, they have a cover, then a pad, then the sheets, etc.
And then they  wash them.  

(Global Warming = Replace over 8)
Learn the  TRUTH,  do not,  ‘Parrot’   what someone  TOLD  you to say !

Wish you would have jumped in a lot sooner.  

LOL,   Little thing here, called,  'snow'.   Needed Cleaning out.

There are only a few actual facts that matter about global warming.

1) Every IPCC estimate of future temperature has been higher than actual. Higher, not lower. I believe there have been 5 and all 5 were too high.  Ask yourself why. If you've ever written a position paper or lobbied your boss for a project you wanted to pursue, you know the answer. You either sub-consciously or purposely manipulate whatever data is needed to support your cause.

2) The earth is some 4 billion years old. Dinosaurs roamed 65 million years ago. In the grand scheme of things, we've been around for a very short period of time. A very short 15,000 years ago, you could not have stood on the Chicago shores of Lake Michigan because it wasn't there. It was covered under a giant glacier that was in the process of receding. So why is it surprising we are warming today than in the past?

3) Finally, science encourages debate with two notable exceptions: the mystery of the origins of life and global warming. You cannot propose new theories on those two topics without facing the threat of blackballing. You can say gravity is caused by green apples and you'll be fine, but suggest that global warming is not a significant event and you're screwed. Again, ask yourself why. That's a little more complicated answer.

clueless x2

clueless x2
Please  Explain.
Is:  “clueless x2“

Meant only for JOG, or for me also?
    (Actually a  lot of others have pointed out your fallacy)

Pointed out your,  ‘fallacy’, by  FACTS.
Not  the, ‘al gore, stuff your pockets’, by  LYING !
