False dichotomy.
Either it misrepresented or you believe 100% everything that comes from every media source .
Oh, hell no. I already said I pay little attention to the media when it comes to matters of science.
Is the media 100% accurate with all their past and current predictions ?
Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.
Thick, puffy stratocumulus clouds (left) reflect sunlight and cool the Earth’s surface. However, thin cirrus clouds (right) allow most visible light to pass right through them, while blocking thermal radiation, so they warm the Earth. Because of this, how clouds respond to changes in solar energy output is a crucial aspect of the Sun’s influence on climate.

Version 6 of the UAH MSU/AMSU global satellite temperature dataset is by far the most extensive revision of the procedures and computer code we have ever produced in over 25 years of global temperature monitoring. The two most significant changes from an end-user perspective are (1) a decrease in the global-average lower tropospheric (LT) temperature trend from +0.140 C/decade to +0.114 C/decade (Dec. ’78 through Mar. ’15)

No. It doesn't. And that's not what the report said.
here is the RECENT Nasa report it was about Ice not shrinking lately
oops my bad
means the same thing though
Yes. Because before civilization glacial ice was melting. However, in the 10,000 years since civilization, it has not been.
sea levels rose alot more BEFORE civilization then since

Really?
In that case I have no earthly idea why you are debating me? That has been my position since the beginning of this thread .
I understand that critical thinking annoys some people.
But you are slippery son of a gun .
You are confusing relative humidity with absolute humidity. It is true that warmer air can hold more water vapor (absolute humidity) but that water vapor does not condense into clouds unless the relative humidity is high enough. Higher temperatures do not mean higher relative humidity.
As the clouds thicken due to huge amounts of water vapour being held in the atmosphere through a great increase in latent heat, the ground begins to cool. Ice crystal begin to form in the blanket of clouds enshrouding the earth.
Actually, it is called global warming. Climate change is the result.
It's not called global warming any more, It's called climate change, there is a reason for that; please try to keep up.
One of your first replies even said it was the media and not the scientist ?
Here's a newspaper clipping from that era does anyone notice anything similar to today's scenarios ?
I was taken in by flawed science and a movie .
Well obviously it was, because it took multiple replies, many of them attacking my character and intelligence to get you to answer that question.
You rely on headlines a lot?
I don't. You should try to do something about that. Like read the article and the references.
