So, here's the image you showed us:



However, when you put that image--showing only the last decade--in the context of a chart showing the average temperature over, say, the last century...



Temperature FLUCTUATES. That doesn't mean that it can't increase. People only show their ignorance if they talk about things happening over only a few years as if they discredit global warming.

They have a hard time understanding the concept of a long-term trend in climate, which is why they always focus on the short-term. It's stupid, but an upgrade from the people who say "well, it's cold here, therefore, it can't be global warming!"

Yes, and temperatures have been increasing since the last ice age.

Long term, the temperature of earth has been colder and warmer than has been in the past 30 years.

Therefore, why are leftists so intent on taxing the air that we breathe?

A Mexican scientist is warning of the onset of a "little ice age."

Quote:
An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a "little ice age" which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.

New Zealand ski resorts are seeing the largest snow base ever.

Quote:
Mt Ruapehu is claiming the biggest snow base ever recorded for a New Zealand skifield with over 4.5m of snow on the ground.

Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, operator of Mt Ruapehu ski area, was celebrating what it called a major milestone today.

The snow measuring stake at Turoa previously only stood at 380cm so had to be extended to measure today's 455cm snow base.

The Whakapapa side of the mountain also had 350cm of snow, the biggest since 1995.

Well, his claims will go through peer review and testing against observations to see if it's true. Nothing to worry about. It's doubtful, given the majority of views regarding the evidence in the scientific community.

Could be. Likely isn't.

Well, some people have, some haven't.
