inaccuries

Unfortunately, your post does contain a few inaccuracies. There certainly is some evidence for global warming. True, there hasn't been any increase in global mean temperature since 1998, but from 1975-1998 there was a fairly steady increase in the surface temperature measurement. That's not a terribly reliable source, but the satellite data also shows an increase from 1979-1998 although that warming is less than on the surface which directly contradicts the global warming theory prediction that atmospheric warming should be greater than the surface. Sea surface temperatures have also been warming although that data is even more unreliable until recently. But this is more than zip, zero, and nada.

Also, mountain glaciers ON BALANCE have been getting smaller. Some mountain glaciers are increasing in size but the majority are getting smaller. This process has been going on since 1850 which is long before the claimed increase in greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, they have been getting smaller.

Um...no

Source? Where did you find this information?

Note that the hottest temperatures during the 1900's were during the 1930s.

#1 - CO2 is heavier than what we think of as air. Meaning most CO2 would be found near sea level - not at the top of a mountain.

#2 - I was talking mostly about glaciers in places like Greenland and Antarctica.

There is NO evidence of global warming. None. Just a lot of fear and paranoia such as the type you're displaying now.
