Well, then where is it? Where is the water? Why can't we measure what surely has to be a concomitant increase in sea level? We have warned repeatedly that the seas will rise as the ice melts. So where is it? I was looking forward to buying some shorefront property- in Kissimee. Loss of ice the size of Texas and California?

If Global Warming has a large man made component, someone should be able to quantify significant differences between the Northern Hemisphere (where most of the civilized industrial world is), and the Southern Hemisphere (much less so). Atmospheric weather paaterns don't mix much across the equator. 2) What algorithms does anyone use to determine the Average Global Temperature anyway? 3) Finally, for all the talk about a small (1-2 deg. C) temperature rise creating Chaos in the future global weather events, we've already seen those temperature changes from emerging from the most recent Ice Age, so, are we living through the Chaos Weather now that would have been predicted then? Seems like normal weather to me, as I bet it will in the future, because it is a dynamic system, not steady state. 1) Here’s something I’d like to see examined.

The only good thing is that they were not screaming man-made global warming at the top of their lungs as "scientist" normally do. The video had little information, they suspect unusual wind patterns, at least that's original. But not once in the video did it mention ocean temperature, surely these guys track the ocean's temperature, but never once mentioned it. I don't think these scientist are very interested in finding the answers. Of course once they do, their funding usually goes away, so really getting to the bottom of it is probably not their highest priority. If you read many scientific reports about anything at all you will quickly notice a pattern. The only thing all scientist always seem to agree on is that <strong>more study is needed</strong>. That is almost always the bottom line.... literally ... of every scientific report. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know if ocean temperature is increasing, the ocean ice will melt faster. According to <a href="http://www.apfn.net/messageboard/08-15-05/discussion.cgi.8.html" rel="nofollow">some scientist</a> there has been unprecedented <a href="http://www.iceagenow.com/Ocean_Warming.htm" rel="nofollow">underwater volcanic activity</a> since <a href="http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/current_volcs/current.html" rel="nofollow">2001</a>. These NASA guys making a video like this and never mentioning water temperature makes them seems evasive to the issue. Nevertheless it was better than the normal nonsensical screeching about pollution and CO2 and human causes and polar bears dying and oceans rising and on and on with all of that silly worn-out crap.
