Global warming skepticism

[Derek]

We are happy to debate here, but a degree of rigour of facts, substantiation and of level of discernment are required.

There follows a thread moved from elsewhere that illustrates how not to engage here.

I will not give webspace to garbage - there are plenty of other places on the web to do that.

Err, is it not the case that the bits of the Antarctic that are warming, have volcanoes that are quite active underneath them.

I thought that the below was a published, and peer reviewed study, that shows Antarctica has been cooling for about 30 to 40 years.

To be fair the volcanoes have only recently been "discovered".
