Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] CEI's ridiculous ads

I don't know as how I give any credit to the commercials, but I find it 
very interesting which parts Mike, JK, Rick, etc have chosen to 'debunk' 
and such and which parts were completely ignored with no response.

If I recall from watching yesterday that they claim evidence that 
glaciers are growing & advancing in Greenland and that the snowpack is 
increasing, not decreasing in Antartica.  True??? I've not the foggiest 
idea, but if true, it would certainly be information that I'd try to 
sweep under the rug if I was hell bent on perpetuating my views on the 
dangers of global warming.

Quick to tout the recent whitehouse study, but even quicker to ignore 
research by others that have either determined that there is no global 
warming or that the effects are not the extreme that folks are claiming 
they are.

In addition the entire history of climatic fluctuation is completely 
ignored.  You won't even TOUCH this one.  I have never heard a single GW 
person address the cyclic climatic trends issue.  They just ignore it.  
Maunder Minimum?  What's that?  Little European Ice Age?   Come again, 
what are you talking about?  Dude, it's like  there's global warming.

I'm not saying that these other research efforts have more or less 
validity, but I DO know that it doesn't really matter if one is more 
ethical, more scientifically sound, etc than another because you WILL 
only consider those that agree with your position.  This is not the 
sweeping overwhelming victory you make it out to be.  I'm under the 
opinion that there's a lot of evidence in both camps which leads me to 
really question which if either have it right.
