re: #35 Sharmuta

The local trends didn’t affect the overall global increase in temp. Why would a trend in North America stop melting in the Himalayas?

I don’t know about trends. I just assumed that we have had global warming (or cooling). How could one part of the planet warm enough to cause massive glaciers to melt in one place, and 6 thousand miles away, the temperature is doing something just the opposite.

I know know the answer, that’s why I asked. Are you telling me there is data about a warming trend in the Himalayas and data about a cooling trend in North America?

Why is it when I ask an question about any of the AGW stuff, I get a lot of defensive replies?
