So then, do you agree that Paul D’s link, which provides evidence that we are on net losing glacial ice, is more important than your point about the quantity of glaciers gaining ice, and makes it irrelevant?

Just naively thinking about it, it certainly doesn't seem obvious that glaciers in Antarctica wouldn't grow with warming. It's still usually below freezing in Antarctica and warmer means more precipitation and snow.

The arctic ice sheet otoh, frozen sea water is pretty much just air and water temperature. And there are lots of glaciers in places that aren't as consistently below freezing as Antarctica.

But, again, Trolly is right and there's absolutely no non-tinfoil hat counter to that.

People showing NewOldGuy data isn't working. I tried to "trick" him into looking at a bigger picture but that didn't work either. The wall-shadows are the only reality.

NOG is still operating under the premise that scientists purposefully lowered temps in data without proof. Conspiracy theory nonsense.

That was Inhofe from Oklahoma.

Climate Change Helped Destroy Ancient Civilizations – With No Help From Your SUV

Short video totally proves my point, that NATURALLY occurring climate change destroyed civilizations. This video, put out by the World Economic Forum, tells of the collapse of the Maya civilization, the collapse of the Mesopotamian civilization, the collapse of the Khmer Empire, and more recently, the collapse of the Viking culture in Greenland.

I guess the video is trying warn us about the perils of man-made global warming. But it falls far short of that goal, because remember, some of these collapses came during periods of COOLING, not warming.

Here a few of the excellent comments about this video:

“Here’s five examples of pre-industrial climate change. But this time climate change is totally man-made. You just have to trust us.”
– BattleSwarm

“All of these predate fossil fuel use. So what your saying is extreme climate change is a cyclical thing. Got it.” – Scott Paterno

“If this can happen naturally, then I’ll take my chances with fossil fuels! Greatest natural resource in our history, and we haven’t found a sustainable replacement yet.”
– Lucas Sorge

Thanks to the World Economic Forum for showing us that naturally occurring climate change destroyed civilizations. Fortunately, since there is no more naturally occurring climate change, beware of man-made climate change.”
– Mike Lyddon

So you’re saying it’s natural climate change that destroys the world? Or are you saying a Carbon tax would’ve saved the Mayans and Vikings?
– Jose Menendez

We need to correct the problem that destroyed the Viking civilizations of Greenland. I suggest we heat up the Earth some more, until the Greenland Ice Pack is gone.

There are so many logical flaws in this post that I am not even going to bother.
