"You mean like the charts about the northern ice cap yet ignore the growth in the southern and that net world ice is constant or slightly up."

That doesn't happen to be the case. As has been pointed out, the West Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking rapidly. It was once believed that was restricted to the peninsula, but when investigated that proved to not be true. Granted, the rest has seen some growth, the glaciers are landlocked and, hence, not as affected by the warming of the water unlike in the west. But they are not growing fast enough to counter the shrinkage in the rest of the world.

Which is what I meant about the half-truths. Cherry picking outdated data is a bad way to go.

" The fact co2 in air has been rising for the last 12 years, the models predict more warming, but it's just not there. It tends to cast doubt in thinking minds and that the forcing is far less than predicted by the models."

The models assume constant insolation. As Shorty likes to point out, we are in a period of lowest sunspot activity in a very long time. Yet we are still racking up record warm years.

"No explanation of lagging co2 in ice cores, the middle warm period, the little ice age etc. "

I've explained those. Many times.

"That's a lie - and you still ignore the ones that have no link. My only link is the gas I put in my car."

Sorry. I was totally unaware you were one of the scientists in the GW debate. Can you link me to one of your papers on the issue?

Or are you making this up too?
