I'm not going to wade through 2000+ replies on this topic, but will say this.
This we do know:
Glaciers worldwide are dwindling/disappearing.
The polar ice cap is indeed melting and nations oil companies are rushing to cash in on that.
Drought and forest fires are on the increase.
So, my stance?
Big deal. Forget about it. Humans are nothing more than parasites on the planet anyway. Over the next few hundred years we'll get slowly roasted out of existence and good riddance. Hopefully, something better will come along.
Holy ****.....always wondered how the uber k00ks find their way into this nether-region of the internet?
We've seen the America haters......now we have human species haters!!
Awesome........go live in Siberia s0n.......happy now!!!
Anyway.....back to topic......
Why, if the science is settled, do the scientists keep screwing around with the data?

Twisted psychos like him are the reason why we might need the same kind of security screens around schools & kindergartens as we have in airports.
I wonder how far he would get in an airport, if he would wear a t-shirt with a "humans are nothing more than parasites" logo.
As long as there are anonymous psychos like that on the loose, I don`t mind at all if the NSA tracks and stores everybody's internet activities.
This guy sounds a lot like that "numan" AGW preacher, who used to hang around the enviro- forum last year and is another prime example what kind of people flock around this new people hater religion.
Our friend, Mr. MDiver, is not an isolated case. Viewing humans as the parasite to be exterminated is a mainstream view in the misanthropic environmentalist community:
"My three main goals would be to reduce human population to
 about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure
 and see wilderness, with its full complement of species,
 returning throughout the world." 
-Dave Foreman,
co-founder of Earth First!
"Mankind is the most dangerous, destructive, selfish 
and unethical animal on the earth."
- Michael Fox,
vice-president of The Humane Society 



"Humans on the Earth behave in some ways like a
pathogenic micro-organism, or like the cells of a tumor."
- Sir James Lovelock,
Healing Gaia



"The Earth has cancer
 and the cancer is Man."
- Club of Rome,
Mankind at the Turning Point
"A total population of 250-300 million people, 
a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
- Ted Turner,
founder of CNN and major UN donor

"... the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence
 more than 500 million but less than one billion."
- Club of Rome,
Goals for Mankind
"One America burdens the earth much more than 
twenty Bangladeshes. This is a terrible thing to say. 
In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 
350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say,
 but it's just as bad not to say it."
- Jacques Cousteau,
UNESCO Courier

"If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth
 as a killer virus to lower human population levels."
- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, patron of the World Wildlife Fund

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against 
society, unless the parents hold a government license.
 All potential parents should be required to use
contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing 
antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."
 - David Brower, 
first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

The only way of saving the world may be for industrial civilization to collapse, deliberately seek poverty, and set levels of mortality. - Maurice Strong quoted in The National Review Magazine, 9/1/1997
"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another
 United States. We can't let other countries have the same 
number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. 
We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."
- Michael Oppenheimer,
Environmental Defense Fund

"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place 
for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and 
plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, 
free shackled rivers and return to wilderness 
millions of acres of presently settled land."
- David Foreman, 
co-founder of Earth First!
...heres what Maurice Strong actually said, in his autobiography, in a section described as a report to the shareholders, Earth Inc, dated 2031: And experts have predicted that the reduction of the human population may well continue to the point that those who survive may not number more than the 1.61 billion people who inhabited the Earth at the beginning of the 20th century. A consequence, yes, of death and destruction but in the end a glimmer of hope for the future of our species and its potential for regeneration. - Maurice Strong, guiding force behind the I.P.C.C.'s formation
The NYTs Thomas J. Friedman in 2011 while visiting Taiwan said. Im gonna tell you a secret. Dont let anybody else know, he said. There are too many Americans in the world today. 

It is a blessing that so many people in the world can live like Americans, Friedman said, but the good Lord did not design our planet for this many Americans.
Viewing capitalism as an economic system that is inherently harmful to the natural environment, John Holdren (Pres. Obama's chosen chief science advisor) and Paul Ehrlich in 1973 called for a massive campaign
to de-develop the United States and other Western nations in order to conserve energy and facilitate growth in underdeveloped countries. De-development, they said, means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation. By de-development, they elaborated, we mean lower per-capita energy consumption, fewer gadgets, and the abolition of planned obsolescence.
Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society. Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock. - John Holdren & Paul Ehrlich in their co-authored 1977 book, entitled Ecoscience
Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it.- Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute
The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the worst thing that could happen to the planet.- Jeremy Rifkin, Greenhouse Crisis Foundation
Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.- Prof Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University
We have been so drunk with this desire to produce and consume more and more whatever the cost to the environment that we're on a totally unsustainable path. I am not going to rest easy until I have articulated in every possible forum the need to bring about major structural changes in economic growth and development. Rajendra Pachauri, Head of IPCC
My own doubts came when DDT was introduced. In Guyana, within two years, it had almost eliminated malaria. So my chief quarrel with DDT, in hindsight, is that it has greatly added to the population problem. Alexander King, founder of the Malthusian Club of Rome
I suspect that eradicating small pox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems. John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal
Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs. John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal
The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing
.This is not to say that the rise of human civilization is insignificant, but there is no way of showing that it will be much help to the world in the long run. Economist editorial
We advocate biodiversity for biodiversitys sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight/ David Foreman, Earth First!
Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental. Dave Forman, Founder of Earth First!
If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS. Earth First! Newsletter
Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as a wild and healthy planets
Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along. David Graber, biologist, National Park Service
The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans. Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project
If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels. Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund
Cannibalism is a radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation. Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995
"The extinction of the human species may not
 only be inevitable but a good thing."
- Christopher Manes, Earth First!

"Environmentalists, who have long espoused a version of humankind as an energy-powered cancer on the Earth, see greenhouse-gas controls as a way to starve out the tumor of humanity.... Temperance fiends of all stripes whove hated fossil fuels, cars, large houses, urban sprawl, highways, rich people, fat people, industrial economies, airplanes, meat consumption, non-recycled paper, and just about everything else that might make someone smile see energy rationing via greenhouse-gas controls as the answer to their prayers." 
~~ Kenneth Green

One of the surprising privileges of intellectuals is that they are free to be scandalously asinine without harming their reputation. - Eric Hoffer
