"Need another indicator of climate warming in Antarctica?"
It's interesting how high temperatures equates to climate change, but low temperatures doesn't mean anything. Even mentioning it will be followed by a torrent of people commenting on how temperature != climate.
More proof that 'climate change' is a political tool.
"Officially, for the past 11,700 years we have been living in the Holocene epoch. From the Greek for ‘totally new’, the Holocene is an eyeblink in geological time. In its nearly 12,000 years, plate tectonics has driven the continents a little more than half a mile: a reasonably fit person could cover the scale of planetary change in a brisk eight-minute walk. It has been a warm time, when temperature has mattered as much as tectonics. Sea levels rose 115 feet from ice melt, and northern landscapes rose almost 600 feet, as they shrugged off the weight of their glaciers." [1]
I'm curious how current climate trends fit in with what seems to be a time period that overall has been warming up accompanied by rising seas.
Can someone point me to some resources to help me make sense of human-caused global warming versus normal global warming?
Lots of good info on the site. There is a very, very, vanishingly small chance that current climate dynamics aren't caused by humans. Doubling the CO2 in the atmosphere will have consequences. It's inescapable physics.
As time goes on in a homeostatic environment, you'd expect fewer records on either end. That's not what we're seeing. The pockets of newly extreme cold weather are neither surprising nor contradictory of a warming planet. And the increasing number of record high temps and precipitation events provide still more evidence to heap onto the mountains of proof already provided by climate scientists.
The politicization of climate science comes from the deniers.

Weather everywhere was the same year over year, since the beginning of time. There was literally no variation; no floods or famine. It was Eden.
Then humans took over. The original sin. Get with the program and you might be spared from the Apocalypse. Throw stones at anyone who disagrees.
At least I think that how the HCGW religion goes...
