Time-wise limited paradoxical effects due to climate warming have been described,
forseen and
explained since years. Why the ice in parts of the antarctic for some years will increase in thickness and why this is an evidence for air and sea warming up, has been
explained since years. It also has been
forseen. Why in some regions of the world glaciers eventually for a short while will give the impression to increase in size, has been
explained since years. But feel free to ignore all that for another couple of years: that is called the right of free opionion. but having a right of free opinion does not mean that the question wether or not 2 plus 2 makes 4 is open for discussion, and is a question of opinion. You can be of the very precious and very important opinion that 2+2=4 is wrong - but who cares.
Having an opinion and having a reasonable argument - are two totally different things. Just be loud enough: and people will mistake volume for argument.
