Here is an article about the temperature at the South Pole for the last 50 years. Note that the temperature has been going down even as carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has increased. Note the temperature level. How is the ice melting, as we are so often told, when it is 40 degrees below zero? I've always wondered why the ice melts in places where the temperature never gets above zero. I've read that at the North Pole below water volcanic activity locally warms the water. And, I read where one guy asserted that global warming was going to cause more volcanic eruptions, tsunami's etc. It was not clear how increased carbon dioxide concentrations would cause that, but I guess it was good enough for true believers.
