Tell me Pandora, do you believe in the physical properties of the water molecule, around which this debate centers? When you get a minute, Google "water" "molecule" and "specific heat". Then as you begin to understand the science behind global warming [ie: the peculiar chemical/physical properties of the water molecule of which the icecaps are made] you will see how trecherous our situation is, and how dangerous it is to be lulled into complacency when a cold front moves in at an odd season. Indeed, "oddness" is more the hallmark of the honeymoon phase of global warming than heat is. And this is because of our friend the water molecule and its high specific heat. It acts like a heat sponge until it's too late to save the ice all of a sudden.
Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it isn't real. This is why we have science and experts in their field. Having a degree in philosophy, for example, may be impressive but is worth nothing if that person then feels qualified to weigh in on the science behind global warming. Global warming is all about chemistry and the physical properties and interaction of molecules, atoms and heat energy. If you have no real minimal grasp of these subjects, you are elimiated from the ranks of those allowed to weigh in on the subject at hand.
