You are the one who was implying you cannot use a cold day to argue against global warming,No.. That was one of many examples I gave as to how people can see global warming where they live.. Don't pick a single portion of my post and then make a bogus claim..
...while using a warm day to argue for it,
The evidence speaks for itself.
Of course I am using a single sentence because that is what I am addressing. Either you didn't really say what I posted above (which you did) or you are a hypocrite.Don't take a single sentence out of a paragraph and accuse me of using inappropriate logic.. It only serves to make yourself look bad or stupid.. So no.. I did not use that arguement.. Not even close..
The argument is very simple, glaciers began melting before hydrocarbon use and are unaffected by it's use. That does not mean they are not melting only the causation is incorrect on your part.As for graph?? You will have to explain that to all the mountian peaks in the cascade range.. Not to mention the rocky mountains and other places.. So forgive me if I believe your graph is a bunch of bull pucky!! Glaciers don't grow and the Polar ice cap melt.. Or the Permafrost in Alaska melts.. Are you actually going to attempt to argue selective melting?? Give me a break..
Because he has impeccable credentials,How can anyone give any credibility to Syun-Ichi Akasofu??

Epic Fail,Revealed: oil-funded research in Palin's campaign against protection for polar bear | World news | The Guardian
Hmmm.. Seems he also has some funding comming from big oil.. Well so much for this guy.. NEXT!!!
Two other contrarian scholars were cited. One was Syun-Ichi Akasofu, formerly director of the International Arctic Research Centre, in Alaska, who argues that climate change could be a hangover from the little ice age. He is a founding director of the Heartland Institute, a thinktank that has received $676,500 from ExxonMobil since 1998.
Next time try to READ what you cite.The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Friday November 28 2008
In the article below, we describe the geophysicist Professor Syun-Ichi Akasofu as a founding director of the Heartland Institute. In fact he has never held any formal position with the US thinktank.
