[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4378641, member: 23516"] Here's your problem. You say that glacier sizes have decreased by whatever amount, and that may very well be true. I don't care enough to research it for myself, so I accept it as true. Then I ask, "What does all this mean?" And you guys tell me that it means a specific thing that will happen within a specific time period - and then it doesn't happen. And then we have Katrina, after which we were told that it was imminent that stronger, more frequent hurricanes would hit the US coasts only to experience a decade without a Cat 3 or greater storm hitting the continental US. Who's stupid in that case, the people who make the claim, or the people who realized it was wrong? For someone who admits that his side frequently gets it all wrong and that the scientists can't agree on anything, it's pretty funny for you to call the other side stupid for doubting them. Like I said earlier in the post, it's one thing to observe measurements and collect data. It's something else entirely to properly interpret and analyze it. [/QUOTE]
