Sure, there are glaciers melting all over the world. And there are glaciers growing all over the world, too.
This is not the point here. Focus. The point is that these climate "scientists" are using Spring as a method to push their AGW.
Again, bending the facts to fit the theory: spring melts ice, but when that happens, ignore the "spring" part.

So guess what? I am working on my own ways to generate green electricity. And the second I find a cheap way to do so, I intend on sharing my findings with you all.
I know I'm a dreamer. But your world needs my kind.
What shall we do about climate change? Earth needs help to LLAP
The Republican is thinking different suggestions from the Democrat, and that is the healthy political conversation that should unfold. Should there be carbon credits or not? Should there be trade regulations or not? Should we invest in solar panels rather than clean coal?
That would be a fruitful debate that could be held in the political arena. But the moment the politicians start saying they are in denial of what the scientists are telling them, of what the consensus of scientific experiments demonstrates, that is the beginning of the end of an informed democracy.
So all you uneducated boobs out there just hush and let the "Smart People" take care of this.

NO no just NO!!!!!
I don't want to hear from any educated scientist they use big words and say things that frighten me.
I want to leave everything to slimy lawyers turned slimy politician because they don't use big words and tell me it is all a hoax.

His article disappointed me on two counts. The claim that there is nothing left to debate and the attempt to make it political.
The goal of StarTalk is to enlighten you, and in my judgement and my experience, observing a debate never enlightened anybody; all it does is make people dig in more strongly into the point of view they had entering the debate, typically. So you’ve never seen me in a debate, ever, because that implies that we each have opinions and “oh let’s see who can give the best argument for this audience so they can believe my opinion instead of yours.” But if you’re more charismatic than I am or have better word use, or are more articulate, then you’ll win the debate, and that means you’ll be right and I’ll be wrong. This is not how it works.

Neil deGrasse Tyson says it's time for you to all hush! If you were as smart as he is, you'd understand. All you "deniers" are threatening an informed Democracy...

Tyson's attitude reminds me of the old saw, "Only a madman has never doubted his sanity."

The science is overwhelming on the climate debate. Human activity is causing changes to this planets chemistry.

The right, on its own, made it intensely political.
