I recall Bradley R. Smith saying "the first thing you realize, very quickly, when you start looking into the Holocaust, is that no such thing ever occurred ...." and that he was a simple, libertarian, civil liberties loving American with no agenda whatsoever. Rinse and repeat for evolution denial, pollution denial, ozone denial, tobacco denial, etc. etc. etc. This bold assertion - bolder the more wrong you are - is their weapon and crutch of choice.

Now everything in the alps is thawing out due to AGW and there will be very little ice left up there by mid-century. Not too hard to understand. Blows the medieval was warmer and everyone grew grapes theories out of the water though. For goodness sake, the Alpine glaciers just started melting big time only a couple decades ago and we can already see their end in sight. How can anyone deny what's happening?

The reduced ice east of Greenland looks like a bit of a worry. Those are useful links davidgmills, it is always more interesting to look at the disaggregated data.
