If they're incapable of explaining it properly what do they expect ?

The Guradian's now talking about Antarctica melting,
http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,2016243,00.html

yet even Greenland's pretty much untouched ! Indeed some say the ice is
getting
thicker because there's more water vapour around to create precipitation.
Ditto
Antarctica.

If the Arctic ice melts it's not going to raise sea level as much as an
*inch* !

I thought that too, or at least a raise of under a foot - but the real
problem is not the ice melting, but the water expanding as it warms up. We
warm the massive amounts of water on the planet up a few degrees, and it
expands enough to raise the sea level to very bad levels. Considering the
deep sea oceans are 12 + km deep in most places, a small volumetric change
of a 1% expansion could roughly raise the levels: 12,000 m * 0.01 = 120m!


If AGWists scream "Wolf" ad nauseam and nothing happens whose fault is it
if
they make their case look stupid ?

How about considering the positive aspects of a warmer climate. It looks
good to
me. No heating on here right now for example. That'll reduce my carbon
emissions
for starters. Longer growing seasons etc.....
