I wasn't saying that global warming wasn't happening at all. What do you think of this?

Look, things are more complicated than just "oh noes, the temperature is rising one tenth of a degree F per decade." It's also more complicated than "heat equals more storms".

As I said the other day in a post, 28 of the 35 most deadly tropical cyclones in world history actually happened during Global Cooling events, namely Volcanic Winters, going back some 800 years or so. (Source is combine Dr. Jeff Masters post on Wunderground dot com with research from websites found by Google about past volcanic winters). Even Andrew, which was not one of the 35 storms, it also happened during a Global Winter caused by the Pinatubo eruption the previous year. Tropical Cyclones dont just get lift and energy from warm water, they also get stronger based on the COLD SINK at the top of the atmosphere. This zone of air is actually coldest during volcanic winters, which explains why cyclones are paradoxically stronger during volcanic winters. The maximum potential wind speed is a function of the basic thermodynamics equation for the hot sink vs the cold sink of the cyclone, so if the upper atmosphere cools by 10 degrees that's a bigger player than the surface temps warming by 1 degree, etc. This also explains why the strongest cyclones in the Northern hemisphere happen in September and October, even though July and August are hotter months in the Northern Hemisphere.

As for the decline in melt in Antarctica and the Arctic Sea Ice, I wasn't lying about that either. GRACE data shows Antarctica gained ice in the past 2.5 years, while the Arctic did not experience any net sea ice loss for the past 13 melt seasons since 2012.

Predicting "climate change" is an infant science at best. We can't even predict tropical cyclone behavior correctly 5 days ahead of time, so how can a "climate model" for centuries or millennia in the future be trusted? It can't.
