Antarctica does seem to be warming, although precise measurements are difficult to come by.

And what do you base this claim upon?

Remember that Antarctica is a HUGE continent. The interior is unlikely to be seeing additional increases in precipitation, while the areas NEXT to the oceans will..

That's the point AGAIN.. Of course there's precipitation on the East.. It's next to the oceans from which moisture laden clouds derive and drop their precipitation.

That's why looking MERELY at a few symptoms is not sufficient. It's like seeing someone cough and then asserting they have pneumonia. They very well might have it, but you have to collect more data and observe other symptoms.

You can't just look at warming, or cooling, in one place and make such a sweeping judgment about long-term global climate change in a particular direction. You can't just look at atmospheric CO2 increases without looking at phytoplankton populations. You can't look a global temperature shifts without looking at sunspot activities.

The problem with you all ("GW'rs") is that you've ALREADY REACHED A CONCLUSION that the planet is warming long-term due to human influences, and now you're trying to find any evidence that you're conclusion is correct. That's the anti-thesis of the scientific process.
