But there you go. Why should I believe you? You might be right. But I have actual scientists and scientific organizations and college departments and thousands of papers telling me the there is a thing "man made global warming".
Are they using adjusted numbers in all of those scientific organizations, college departments, and thousands of papers telling you that there is man made global warming?
Are they adjusting the numbers, or aren't they?
Scientists have long been alarmed by the rate at which ice is melting in the Arctic around the North Pole. According to recent reports, the Arctic may be ice-free by 2040 due to climate change.
The Antarctic, the region around the South Pole on the other side of the world, was thus far deemed more stable, as its ice had been shown to melt slower and in a less regular pattern.
But a new study examining the current state of the Antarctic ice sheet shows that glaciers there are actually retreating at great speed, thereby contributing to a rise in sea levels.
In fact, Antarctica could soon overtake Greenland to become the biggest source of sea-level rise.
...
They found that almost a quarter of West Antarctic glaciers are retreating today faster than the average ice stream did at the end of the last ice age around 20,000 years ago, when sea levels were still 120 meters (394 feet) lower than they are today.
"This is very alarming, especially for people who live in low-lying areas," Konrad said.
Four billion people — or two out of every three on the planet — do not have enough water to meet their basic needs. That is far greater than previously understood, according to a new study that presents a more accurate picture of the problem.
Water scarcity is fueled by population growth, consumption habits and demands from agriculture.
Its impact is evident on the landscape, said Arjen Hoekstra, a professor of water management at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and co-author of the new study in the journal Science Advances.
"Groundwater levels decline and lakes disappear,” Hoekstra said. “You have less water flowing in the rivers. This threatens ecosystems and biodiversity, and harms local downstream communities where water will not flow."
The "immigration crisis" is in fact due to people fleeing southern regions. Because their cultures differ from the places they are seeking refuge in, it is creating political crises.

We may not be climate scientist but those of us who listened to the so called experts and read their news releases of impending doom..... forecast about sea level rise, or an arctic free of ice, or all the poor polar bears will be dead when in actuality the population has increased.. We can read what was said and see if any of their forecast have come true.. I guess they believed in their super computer models more than reality; probably watched the Matrix to many times ?... For NONE OF THEIR DOOM has shown it's cards as of yet unless you count the Joker as a playable card.
The latest update as of April 4, 2018 on the ice at the north and south poles ... They were right, the Bering sea is basically ice free...because... there were some very strong winds that pushed the ice back to the main 5 meter thick ice sheet. Not quite the way they predicted as heat had nothing to do with the event.. But.. anyone can look at an aerial map and see for themselves. The video quotes some of the agencies and climate experts who declared the Arctic will be ice free.. Of course all were spectacularly wrong...and yet they continue to push that crap believing (I suppose) we the sheeple will not take the time to look at a map..
youtu.be...
More on the fiddled numbers as NASA has said the temp has increased three times the amount over what the satellite numbers show. They were only able to do that by dropping or adjusting actual recorded numbers from the past temperature records... youtu.be...
Think about human nature or maybe I should say the nature of some humans..(scenario) I am the government of an Island chain and when the global warming craze started I figured out there was money to be made if I could jump on the sea level rise fear mongering.. Sea level rise I will make money...if no rise I am gonna make a lot of money... Safe bet.
I have my propaganda machine (news network) crank out how the whole island is going to flood and maybe disappear...Scares the sheep and they start making plans to move to a better higher spot on the planet.. In the meantime I pick up their property for pennies on the dollar because I am the loving caring government... and the funny thing is since I am the government all the money has come from international relief organizations.. 30 years passes and guess what...the island is still there and the only big change are some really nice hotels and tourist spots for a great vacation. youtu.be...
Last video showing models versus reality... Models are so far off we should request a refund for all the research. youtu.be...
Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year.
No, that's our wars on everything and economic exploitation on a global scale. Our lack of culture is causing the issues in the first place, pretty much all of them.

Once again here we go with the old adjusted figures conundrum.
Were those numbers adjusted or not?
These Australian scientists say they are adjusted to the upper measurements.
Australian Scientist
Just because it is a Fox News article does not mean that the Australian Scientists can't do their own measurements, that just so happen to be unadjusted.
The numbers don't lie, well unless you adjust them to fit your specific needs.

Here's a good article on adjustments and why they are made and what impact they have. Makes sense to me.

No signs of bias there...

CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming.
