Yet, 2010 is likely to be the hottest year on record according to NASA. I suppose your thermometer is better than everyone else's.

You know, you should really publish your research, because it contradicts everyone else's. I'm fairly sure there's a Nobel prize in it for you.

There is plenty of ice (and polar bears!) at the north pole.
Again, NASA disagrees with you, but I'm sure you know better. When it comes to polar bears it seems your claim contradicts science yet again, but I suppose you being the world leading expert on everything imaginable should be enough for us to take your word for it.

There is plenty of ice at the south pole.
Yes, there really is. You didn't even contradict science there. However, the total land ice is dwindling, and the sea ice is growing despite rising temperatures.

I wonder how many years of this will pass before the last believers finally realise they are flogging a dead horse.
My guess is that denialists will be flogging this dead horse until about 2060-2080 when science predicts there will be no more ice in the Arctic. Perhaps even longer as most denialists seem to live in a fantasy land where the real world need not make itself known.

Sorry guys: "Believe me I'm a scientist and lots and lots of other scientist agree with everything I say honest" got old a long long time ago.
Yes, and still that's the only thing denialists do. Those of us embracing reality can at least back up our words with science. When are you going to start doing that? Wait, I forgot... you can't.

Man-made Global Warming is well on the way to joining the great junk yard of consensus science and pseudo-science containing such gems as epicycles, land bridges, eugenics, martian canals, lamarckism, steady-state creation, the luminiferous aether, preformationism and many more.
Maybe if you repeat that enough times it'll finally come true. While you're at it, you should wish upon a star and pray real hard too. When you're done you're welcome back to reality.

Good science provides good predictions:
Lots more hurricanes like Katrina - nope
Lots more droughts and floods - nope
Low lying islands drowned by rising seas - nope
Polar bears becoming extinct - nope
Less sea ice - nope
Milder winters - nope
I find what you say believable due to the fact that you sourced each one of your claims.
Oh... wai...

Quite frankly I cannot think of a single man-made global warming scare that has had any truth to it at all.
If you name one I'm sure we can help you.

This is the hallmark of junk science and woo.
Yes, denialism is the hallmark of junk science and woo. Climatology on the other hand is a well established science with as much positive evidence as the theory of evolution.

Just like with Nostradamus the same bunk is endlessly recycled to show that the end of the world or whatever is going to happen soon, this time honest.
This seems like projection coming from a denialist who engages in nothing but regurgitating the same old bunkum and lies that have been debunked years ago.
