You know I have never disagreed that warming has happened, only that Man is not the primary cause. And how do we know there has never been a change so quick? As manbearpig points out, records are really not that good going back. And, actually, between 1919 and 1939, the temps shot up .7c, while between 1980 and 2000, it went up around .5C.

There has never been a climate change that has happened so quickly. But at least you do now seem to realize that the climate is changing. I am not sure how "interesting" the fact of "more" ice is. Remember that 2007 was the 2nd warmest year ever recorded well above any long term measurements. Teach it is the RATE of change that is most alarming.

I need to know how long we have been recording the level ice at the poles. If it has been for say the last 100-150 years, then 150 out of 4.5 billion isn't a very good sampling statistically is it?
