no one is denying the ice caps are melting. yes, they are indeed. they have before, and they will again. and, yes, global warming is an undisputable fact. not one scientist in the world will dipute that. that humans have cause it is wholly unproven, since temperature changes in similar time frames have happened in the distant past, before fossil fuels were part of this earth.

al gore loves to talk about the unprecedented changes in the patterns of the melting ice caps. it is not unprecedented, and he has been proven to be unknowlegeable on this. secondly, the satellite images he loves to reference have only been used for about 30 years to monitor the polar ice cap.

science being unable to prove global warming is human induced isnt the same as denying that there is global warming. willful ignorance is the inability to understand the empirical requirements that make up legitimate research and the historical context of global warming patterns over the history of the planet.

none of this means that humans havent contributed to global warming, but global warming patterns over the history of the earth combined with the current time frame most people reference for the current warming have made it difficult thus far to prove any cause and effect.
