A Denier's Confession

Hi Walter. Here's a serious post for a change.
I am not really a climate denier, I can see for myself how the earth is changing on an everyday basis however I feel that sometimes the appearance of a dissenting voice even if fake can bring about good healthy debate and thus introduce change when change is needed.So it is with climate change.
I have some questions here maybe the general public can answer for me.

1) Why is it that most of the reasons being given for climate change are always reasons that are either obscure or simply very, very hard to prove or disprove. Something is odd here, this is the first time in my life that I have seen evidence being presented by scientists in such a manner.
It's almost as if they don't real want people to understand what is going on.

2) What happened to the Ozone hole? according to predictions it should have killed us all a long time ago.
My skin hasn't peeled off yet and I'm still buying SPF15 cream instead of SPF150.

3) What happened to the statement "If the North Pole thaws out New York will end up under water". Remember that one? what happened? the pole did thaw out this year and guess what? Zilch, Nada, Nothing happened.
New Yorkers are still walking around without their gum boots.

4) I thought frozen fresh water took up more room by volume than salt water. If the poles thawed out wouldn,t that mean that sea levels would drop instead of rise?

Not kidding here, I'm not an idiot and since I can't get answers to these questions I thought I might put it to you guys, how about it?

Hi People, I haven't posted a comment here for a while so I thought I'd give some of you a chance to pick on me once again.
The subject today is the NON-issue of global warming and the money-making scare-mongering tactics of the media in general.
The earth is not warming up at all, the truth is that the current hot cycle affecting us at the moment is nothing more than the hot air coming out of politicians mouths as well as the ever present threat of a media outlet that might never be looked at by the public. Such is the fear of these media outlets that the presses are running hot generating articles on global warming. You see, they sell.
But the truth of the matter is that nothing is really happening and nothing will ever happen with regards global warming.
Here I live in Australia, a land of ever constant drought and lack of water, a land of pure desert heat where even the kangaroos wish they had a swimming pool and in the mist of all this we are currently having the coldest wettest winter in decades.
My global warming nemesis, the gas heater, blew up and I am freezing to death. My electric blanket has failed and I have run out of timber for my fire place.
So what do I do to keep warm people?
Do I stand outside and warm up in the sun? According to some of you people that should be impossible. the sun cannot be seen as it is being covered by all that Carbon oxide-dioxide-monoxide
However I did find one REAL cause of global warming; my box of matches.

Hey Walter, if we want to post a link to you, is there an email address we can use?

Here's one link:

http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/19/warming-and-storms-uncertainty-and-ethics/index.html?hp

it's merely descriptive.

How does one make the leap in logic from
Solomon's statement that: "warming is real and particularly strong in the past 20 years."

To: "The human burning of fossil fuels is affecting the world's climate in an unprecedented and dangerous way"???

Acknowledging that the average temperatures have increased is NOT the same as agreeing to the cause. Indeed, the author acknowledges what you, Walter, have not:

"Because no one is saying there is no debate in science. There are many debates. There are innumerable aspects of climate and natural history over which top scientists argue -- strenuously -- every day."

By the way, the term "deniers" is ad hominem, assuming that your unproven THEORY is correct.
