Antarctic melt speeding up
How can there still be global warming deniers when more and more evidence of the damage we have done to the earth is being revealed.
The U.K is drowning in floodwater, we have ridiculously mild and rainy weather here. The earth is bleeding, and no one knows how to heal her.

How can there still be deniers? easy, for every report/study that says climate change is occurring, there will be another one released that says it is not. A report came out not long ago that said the Antarctic ice pack is growing. Unless you are actually a climatologist, chances are you are taking the word of someone else as to what is actually happening. The sad part of that is, there are those that will twist things to suit an agenda and we, the masses of people who are not privileged to the raw data...even if we could understand it...have no idea if we are being given facts or farce...

The source of the reports is important. Invariably "denier" reports come from non scientific sources or "scientists" of completely different fields e.g. a biologist. Would you trust an an analysis of the efficiacy of drugs from a geologist !!!!!!!!!!!
NB the antarctic ice pack is growing but NOT IN THE WAY CHERRY PICKED BY DENIERS (loud enough ?). There is a massive difference between 1 mile thick solid stable ice cover and 1 foot ice cover over a larger area pushed there by melting ice !. But hey let's not let understanding the data get in the way of denial shall we.........

The Pacific Ocean is home to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which also is known as the “World’s Largest Landfill,” according to the European Commission. An estimated 3.5 million tons of trash reside in this landfill that are the result of whirling currents in the Pacific Ocean that pull trash and pollution into the ocean. The landfill’s area is the size of Europe, or 3.45 million kilometers squared -- that’s a lot of trash.
